If $f(x) = |x - b|,$ then the function:

Find the values of $a$ and $b$ such that the function defined by $f(x) = \begin{cases} 5, & \text{if } x \le 2 \\ ax + b, & \text{if } 2 < x < 10 \\ 21, & \text{if } x \ge 10 \end{cases}$ is a continuous function.

Consider the function $f(x) = [x] + |1 - x|$ for $-1 \le x \le 3$,where $[x]$ is the greatest integer function.
Statement $1$: $f$ is not continuous at $x = 0, 1, 2$ and $3$.
Statement $2$: $f(x) = \begin{cases} -1 - x, & -1 \le x < 0 \\ 1 - x, & 0 \le x < 1 \\ 1 - x, & 1 \le x < 2 \\ 2 + x - 2, & 2 \le x < 3 \\ 3, & x = 3 \end{cases}$ (Note: The provided Statement $2$ in the prompt is incorrect).

If $f(x) = \frac{x^2 - 10x + 25}{x^2 - 7x + 10}$ for $x \neq 5$ and $f$ is continuous at $x = 5$,then $f(5) = $

Let $f(x) = \begin{cases} (1 + |\sin x|)^{a/|\sin x|}, & -\pi/6 < x < 0 \\ b, & x = 0 \\ e^{\tan 2x/\tan 3x}, & 0 < x < \pi/6 \end{cases}$. If $f$ is continuous at $x = 0$,then the values of $a$ and $b$ are respectively:

The function $f(x) = 2x - |x - x^2|$ is
