Solution

The function g(x) is continuous for all x if and only if the two piecewise functions are equal at the point where they meet, which is x = 1.

So, we need to solve the following equations:

  1. x³ - 2x + 2 = x² + ax + b when x = 1
  2. 4x⁴ - 3x³ - 5x + 2 = x² + ax + b when x = 1

Substituting x = 1 into the equations, we get:

  1. 1³ - 21 + 2 = 1² + a1 + b
  2. 41⁴ - 31³ - 51 + 2 = 1² + a1 + b

Solving these equations, we get:

  1. 1 - 2 + 2 = 1 + a + b
  2. 4 - 3 - 5 + 2 = 1 + a + b

Solving these equations, we get:

  1. a + b = 1
  2. a + b = -2

These two equations are contradictory, so there are no values for a and b that can make the function continuous for all x.
