If $f(x) = \begin{cases} \frac{(8-2x)^{\frac{1}{3}} - 2}{3 - (243+5x)^{\frac{1}{5}}}, & x \neq 0 \\ k, & x = 0 \end{cases}$ is continuous at $x = 0$, then $k =$

If $f(x) = \begin{cases} \frac{k \cos x}{\pi - 2x}, & x \neq \frac{\pi}{2} \\ \frac{1}{2}, & x = \frac{\pi}{2} \end{cases}$ is continuous at $x = \frac{\pi}{2}$,then the value of $k$ is . . . . . . .

Let $f: R \to R$ be a function defined by $f(x) = [x] \cos \left( \frac{2x - 1}{2} \pi \right)$,where $[x]$ denotes the greatest integer function. Then $f$ is:

Determine if $f$ defined by $f(x) = \begin{cases} x^2 \sin \frac{1}{x}, & \text{if } x \neq 0 \\ 0, & \text{if } x = 0 \end{cases}$ is a continuous function.

If $f(x)$,defined below,is continuous at $x = 4$,then find the values of $a$ and $b$ given that $f(x)$ is continuous on the interval $[0, 8]$.
$f(x) = \begin{cases} x^2 + ax + b, & 0 \leq x < 2 \\ 3x + 2, & 2 \leq x \leq 4 \\ 2ax + 5b, & 4 < x \leq 8 \end{cases}$

If $f(x) = \begin{cases} \frac{\sqrt{a^2-ax+x^2}-\sqrt{x^2+ax+a^2}}{\sqrt{a+x}-\sqrt{a-x}}, & x \neq 0 \\ K, & x=0 \end{cases}$ is continuous at $x=0$,then $K=$
