Q 2814401350

The function `f : R -> R` is defined by `f(x) = 3^(-x)`
I. `f` is one - one function.
II. `f` is onto function.
III. `f` is a decreasing function.
Which of the above statement(s) is/ are correct ?

(A)

I and II

(B)

II and III

(C)

I and III

(D)

All of these

Solution:

since `f : R -> R` such that ` f (x) = 3^(- x)`

Let `y_1` and `y_2` be two elements of ` f(x)`

such that ` y_1 = y_2`

` => 3^(-x_1) = 3^(-x_2) => x_1 = x_2`

Since, if two images are equal, then their

elements are equal, therefore it is

one-one function.

Since, `f(x)` is positive for every value of

`x`, therefore `f(x)` in into.

On differentiating w.r.t. x, we get

`(dy)/(dx) => - 3^(-x) log 3 < 0` , for every value of ` x` .

`:.` it is decreasing function.

`:.` Statements I and III are true .
Correct Answer is `=>` (C) I and III
Q 2813091840

T'he function `f : R -> R` defined by `f (x) = 4^x + 4^(|x|)` is

(A)

one - one and into

(B)

many-one and into

(C)

one-one and onto

(D)

many - one and onto

Solution:

Since, for different values of `x, 4^x`

and `4^(|x|) ` are different positive numbers.

`:. f` is one - one.

Also, `f` is not onto as its range is `(0 , oo)`

and it is subset of its codomain `R`.
Correct Answer is `=>` (A) one - one and into
Q 2884701657

Consider the function ` f(x) = sqrt( 3x^2 - 4x + 5)`.
lf `g(x) = log_e x^2` then range of the function `g[f(x)]` is

(A)

`( - oo , log_e (11)/3 ]`

(B)

`[ log_e (11)/3 , oo)`

(C)

`[ - log_e (11)/3 , log_e (11)/3]`

(D)

None of these

Solution:

`g [f(x)] = log_e ( sqrt( 3x^2 - 4x + 5)^2)`

`= log_e ( 3x^2 - 4x + 5)`

Let `y = log_e ( 3x^2 - 4x + 5)`

` => e^y = 3x^2 - 4x + 5`

` => 3x^2 - 4x + ( 5 - e^y) = 0`

For `x` to be real, discriminant `>= 0`

`:. 16 - 12 ( 5 - e^y) >= 0`

`=> 12 e^y >= 44`

`=> e^y >= (11)/3 => y >= log_e (11)/3`

`:.` Range of ` f = [ log_e (11)/3 , oo)`
Correct Answer is `=>` (B) `[ log_e (11)/3 , oo)`
Q 2713267140

Let `f(x) = x^2 + 4x - 1 ` and `g(x) =| x |`

If `h(x) = f(g(x))+ 10`. Find rangle of `h(x)`.

Solution:

`h(x) = f(g(x)) + 10 =| x|^2 +4| x |- 1 + 10`

`h(x) =| x |^2 + 4| x |+ 9 = (| x|+ 2)^2 + 5`

Hence range of `h(x)` is `[9, oo)`.
Q 2813080849

The range of the function `f(x) = 1/(2 - sin 3x)` is

(A)

`[ 1/3 , 1 [`

(B)

`[ 1/3 , 1 ]`

(C)

`[ 1/3 , 1 [`

(D)

`[ 1 , 1/3 ]`

Solution:

We have, `2y - y sin 3x = 1`

` => sin 3x = (2y - 1)/y`

Since, `- 1 <= sin 3x <= 1`

We have , ` - 1 <= ( 2y - 1)/y <= 1` ... (i)

Since, `y > 0` multiplying the inequality

Eq. (i) by `y`. we obtain

` - y <= 2y - 1 <= y` or `1 <= 3 y ` and `y <= 1`

`=> 1/3 <= y <= 1`
Correct Answer is `=>` (B) `[ 1/3 , 1 ]`

(B)

`[-2 , 0 [ cup] 0 , 1 [`

(C)

`] 0 ,1 [`

(D)

None of these

Solution:

For `f(x)` to be defined,

`x + 2 >= 0 => x >= -2`

and ` 1 - x > 0 ` and ` 1 - x != 1`

`=> 1 - x > 0` and `1 - x != 1`

`=> x < 1` and `x != 0`

`:. x in [- 2, 0 [ cup ] 0, 1 [`
Correct Answer is `=>` (B) `[-2 , 0 [ cup] 0 , 1 [`

replacing x by `1/x`

`f (1/x) + 3/x f(x) = 2 (1/x +1 )`

`f (1/x) + 3/x f(x) = 2 (1/x +1 )`

`x f (1/x) +3 f(x) =2 (1+x)` ........(2)

On solving(1) and (2)

`8 f (x) =4 (1+x) => f(x) = (x+1)/2`

` => 3 [ ( x - 2/3 )^2 + (11)/9 ] >= 0`

Which is true for all real `x`.

Correct Answer is `=>` (A) `R`
Q 2743656543

Find the period of `f(x)` satisfying the condition

(i) `f(x- 1) +f(x + 3)= f(x + 1) +f(x + 5)`

(ii) `f(x) = {x} + cos pi x`

where `{ * }` denotes fraction part.

Solution:

(i) `f(x - 1) + f(x + 3)= f(x + 1)+ f(x + 5)` ............(1)

Replacing `x` by `x + 2`

`f(x + 1) +f(x + 5) = f(x + 3) + f(x + 7)`

Adding (1) and (2), we get

`f(x - 1) = f(x +7)` i.e. `f(x) = f(x + 8)`


Hence, period is `8`.

(ii) ` f(x) = {x} + cos pi x`

Period of `{x} = 1`

Period of `cos pi x = (2 pi)/pi = 2`

Hence period of `f(x) = 2`.

`0`

(B)

`-1`

(C)

`1/4`

(D)

`- 1/8`

Solution:

`fof (- 7/4) + gog (-1)`

`= f (( [-7// 4])/(-7//4) ) + g (-1 xx 1) `

` = f ( (-2)/(-7//4) ) + g ( -1) = f (8/7) + (-1)`

` = ([8//7])/(8//7) -1 = 7/8 - 1 = - 1/8`
Correct Answer is `=>` (D) `- 1/8`

` ( (x - 7)/3)^(1//2)`

(B)

` ( (x + 7)/3)^(1//2)`

(C)

`:. fog = f[ g(x )]= 3 [g(x) ] + 10`

`= 3 (x^2 - 1) + 10 = 3x^2 + 7`

Let `3x^2 + 7 = y => x^2 = (y - 7)/3`

`=> x = ((y-7)/3)^(1//2)`
