Consider the function f:R→R defined by f(x)=2x1+9x2. If the composition of f,(fofofo...of)⏟10 times (x) =210x1+9αx2, then the value of 3α+1 is equal to _________ . [2024]
(1024)
We have, f(x)=2x1+9x2
∴ (fof)(x)=2f(x)1+9(f(x))2=4x1+9x21+9×4x21+9x2=4x1+45x2=22x1+5×9x2
(fofof)(x)=4×2x1+9x21+45×4x21+9x2=23x1+21×9x2
(fofofof)(x)=24x1×85×9x2
∴ (fofofo.....of)⏟ n times(x) =2nx1+9(4n-13)x2
∴ (fofofo.....of)⏟ 10 times(x) =210x1+9(410-13)x2=210x1+9αx2
(∵ Given)
On comparing, we get
α=410-13⇒3α+1=410
⇒3α+1=410=45=1024.
