Continuity and Discontinuity Analysis of Piecewise Functions
View
Let $f : \mathbb{R} \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ be defined as $$f(x) = \begin{cases} \left[e^x\right], & x < 0 \\ ae^x + [x-1], & 0 \leq x < 1 \\ b + [\sin(\pi x)], & 1 \leq x < 2 \\ \left[e^{-x}\right] - c, & x \geq 2 \end{cases}$$ where $a, b, c \in \mathbb{R}$ and $[t]$ denotes greatest integer less than or equal to $t$. Then, which of the following statements is true?
(1) There exists $a, b, c \in \mathbb{R}$ such that $f$ is continuous
(2) If $f$ is discontinuous at exactly one point, then $a + b + c = 1$
(3) If $f$ is discontinuous at exactly one point, then $a + b + c \neq 1$
(4) $f$ is discontinuous at at least two points, for any values of $a, b, c \in \mathbb{R}$
