If a function $f(x) = \begin{cases} \frac{\sqrt[3]{1+ax^2+bx^3}-\sqrt[3]{1-ax^2-bx^3}}{x^2}, & x < 0 \\ 5, & x=0 \\ \frac{\tan 3x - \sin 3x}{bx^3}, & x > 0 \end{cases}$ is continuous at $x=0$,then the geometric mean of $a$ and $b$ is

$f(x) = \begin{cases} 3x - 8 & \text{if } x \leq 5 \\ 2k & \text{if } x > 5 \end{cases}$ is continuous,find $k$.

If the function $f(x) = \frac{4\sqrt{2}(\sin 3x + \sin x)}{2 \sin 2x \sin \frac{3x}{2} + \cos \frac{5x}{2} - \cos \frac{3x}{2}}$ for $x \neq \frac{\pi}{2}$ is continuous at $x = \frac{\pi}{2}$, then the value of $f(\frac{\pi}{2})$ is equal to

Let $f:(0, \pi) \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ be a function given by
$f(x)=\begin{cases} (\frac{8}{7})^{\frac{\tan 8x}{\tan 7x}}, & 0 < x < \frac{\pi}{2} \\ a-8, & x=\frac{\pi}{2} \\ (1+|\cot x|)^{\frac{b}{a}|\tan x|}, & \frac{\pi}{2} < x < \pi \end{cases}$
Where $a, b \in \mathbb{Z}$. If $f$ is continuous at $x=\frac{\pi}{2}$,then $a^2+b^2$ is equal to ..........

If $f(x) = \frac{1+\cos \pi x}{\pi(1-x)^2}$ for $x \neq 1$ is continuous at $x=1$,then $f(1)$ is equal to

Let $f(x) = \begin{cases} \frac{(x - 1)(6x - 1)}{2x - 1}, & \text{if } x \neq \frac{1}{2} \\ 0, & \text{if } x = \frac{1}{2} \end{cases}$. Then at $x = \frac{1}{2}$,
