Q 1 :

Let f(x)=x2 and g(x)=sinx for all xR. Then the set of all x satisfying (fggf)(x)=(ggf)(x), 

where (fg)(x)=f(g(x)), is             [2011]

  • ±nπ, n{0,1,2,}

     

  • ±nπ, n{1,2,}

     

  • π2+2nπ, n{,-2,-1,0,1,2,}

     

  • 2nπ, n{,-2,-1,0,1,2,}

     

(1)

Given : f(x)=x2 and g(x)=sinx, xR

  (gf)(x)=sinx2

 (ggf)(x)=sin(sinx2)

 (fggf)(x)=sin2(sinx2)

Since given that (fggf)(x)=(ggf)(x),

  sin2(sinx2)=sin(sinx2)

 sin(sinx2)=0, 1

 sinx2=nπ  or  (4n+1)π2,  where nZ

 sinx2=0    ( sinx2[-1,1])x2=nπ

 x=±nπ, where nW



Q 2 :

X and Y are two sets and f:XY. If {f(c)=y; cX, yY} and {f-1(d)=x; dY, xX}, then the true statement is              [2005]

  • f(f-1(b))=b

     

  • f-1(f(a))=a

     

  • f(f-1(b))=b, bY

     

  • f-1(f(a))=a, aX

     

(4)

Given that X and Y are two sets and f:XY.

{f(c)=y; cX, yY} and {f-1(d)=x; dY, xX}

The pictorial representation of the given information is as shown:

[IMAGE 1209]

Since f-1(d)=xf(x)=d

Now if  axf(a)f(x)=df-1(f(a))=a

Hence,  f-1(f(a))=a, ax is the correct option.



Q 3 :

If f(x)=sinx+cosx, g(x)=x2-1, then g(f(x)) is invertible in the domain                    [2004]

  • [0,π2]

     

  • [-π4,π4]

     

  • [-π2,π2]

     

  • [0,π]

     

(2)

Given: f(x)=sinx+cosx and g(x)=x2-1

 g(f(x))=(sinx+cosx)2-1=sin2x

Clearly, g(f(x)) is invertible in -π22xπ2

                                                      ( sinθ is invertible in -π2θπ2)

 -π4xπ4



Q 4 :

If f(x)=x2+2bx+2c2 and g(x)=-x2-2cx+b2 such that min f(x)>max g(x), then the relation between b and c is                [2003]

  • no real value of b & c

     

  • 0<c<b2

     

  • |c|<|b|2

     

  • |c|>|b|2

     

(4)

f(x)=x2+2bx+2c2 f(x)=(x+b)2+2c2-b2

 fmin=2c2-b2

and  g(x)=-x2-2cx+b2

  g(x)=-(x+c)2+b2+c2 gmax=b2+c2

For fmin>gmax2c2-b2>b2+c2

 c2>2b2

 |c|>|b|2



Q 5 :

Domain of definition of the function f(x)=sin-1(2x)+π6 for real valued x, is                 [2003]

  • [-14,12]

     

  • [-12,12]

     

  • (-12,19)

     

  • [-14,14]

For  f(x)=sin-1(2x)+π6  to be defined and real,  sin-1(2x)+π60

 sin-1(2x)-π6       (i)

But,  -π2sin-1(2x)π2            (ii)

On combining (i) and (ii), we get

    -π6sin-1(2x)π2

 sin(-π6)2xsin(π2)

 -122x1

 -14x12

  Domain=[-14,12]

Let f(x)=αxx+1, x-1. Then, for what value of α is f(f(x))=x?                     [2001]

  • 2

     

  • -2

     

  • 1

     

  • -1

     

(4)

f(x)=αxx+1, x-1

Now, f(f(x))=xα(αxx+1)αxx+1+1=x

α2x(α+1)x+1=x(α+1)x2+(1-α2)x=0

α+1=0 and 1-α2=0

 α=-1



Q 7 :

The domain of definition of f(x)=log2(x+3)x2+3x+2 is                        [2001]

  • R\{-1,-2}

     

  • (-2,)

     

  • R\{-1,-2,-3}

     

  • (-3,)-{-1,-2}

     

(4)

For domain of  f(x)=log2(x+3)x2+3x+2,

we require

x2+3x+20  and  x+3>0

x-1,-2 and  x>-3

  Domain of f(x)=(-3,)-{-1,-2}

  • x+x2-42

     

  • x1+x2

     

  • x-x2-42

     

  • 1+x2-4

     

(1)

Given: f(x)=x+1x=y

(let)x2-yx+1=0

x=y±y2-42

  x=y+y2-42                   [ x1 and y2]

  f-1(x)=x+x2-42



Q 9 :

Let g(x)=1+x-[x] and f(x)={-1,x<00,x=01,x>0. Then for all x, f(g(x)) is equal to                   [2001]

  • x

     

  • 1

     

  • f(x)

     

  • g(x)

     

(2)

g(x)=1+x-[x]

and    f(x)={-1,x<00,x=01,x>0

For integral values of x,  g(x)=1

For x<0 (but not integral value),  x-[x]>0  g(x)>1

For x>0 (but not integral value),  x-[x]>0  g(x)>1

Given:  f:[0,4π][0,π] defined by 

f(x)=cos-1(cosx)

Let  denote the set of all real numbers. Let f: and g:(0,4) be functions defined by

f(x)=loge(x2+2x+4)  and  g(x)=41+e-2x.

Define the composite function fg-1 by (fg-1)(x)=f(g-1(x)), where g-1 is the inverse of the function g.

Then the value of the derivative of the composite function fg-1 at x=2 is ________.                      [2025]



(0.25)

Let h(x)=f(g-1(x)) and g(0)=2

h'(x)=f'(g-1(x))·(g-1(x))'

h'(2)=f'(g-1(2))·(g-1)'(2)  (put x=2)=f'(0)·(g-1)'(2)

Now, f(x)=loge(x2+2x+4)

f'(x)=2x+2x2+2x+4  f'(0)=12

g(x)=41+e-2x,    g(0)=2

   g'(x)=8e-2x(1+e-2x)2

g'(0)=84=2         g-1(g(x))=x

(g-1)'(g(x))g'(x)=1

(g-1)'(2)=1g'(0)=12

  h'(2)=12×12=14=0.25

Clearly, f(x)=g(x) has 3 solutions.

-1sin(π2sinx)1-π6π6sin(π2sinx)π6

-12sin[π6sin(π2sinx)]12

  Range of f=[-12,12]

Now,  (fg)(x)=sin(π6sin(π2sinx))

Range of (fg)=[-12,12]

Now,  limx0f(x)g(x)=limx0sin(π6sin(π2sinx))π2sinx

=limx0sin(π6sin(π2sinx))π6sin(π2sinx)×π6sin(π2sinx)π2sinx

=1×π6=π6

Now,  (gf)(x)=π2sin(sin(π6sin(π2sinx)))-π2sin(12)g(f(x))π2sin(12)

Let π2sin(12)=p

Clearly, 0<p<1

Given:  f:(-π2,π2)R is given by

f(x)=(log(secx+tanx))3

f(-x)=(log(secx-tanx))3

=[log((secx-tanx)(secx+tanx)secx+tanx)]3

=[log(1secx+tanx)]3=[-log(secx+tanx)]3

=-[log(secx+tanx)]3=-f(x)

  f(x) is an odd function.

 option (1) is correct and (4) is not correct.

Now,  f'(x)=3[log(secx+tanx)]2·secxtanx+sec2xsecx+tanx

=3secx[log(secx+tanx)]2>0,    ∀x(-π2,π2)

  f(x) is increasing on (-π2,π2)

We know that a strictly increasing function is one-one.

 f is one-one, hence (2) is the correct option.

Also,  limxπ2-[log(secx+tanx)]3=

and  limxπ2+[log(secx+tanx)]3=-

 Range of f=(-,)=R=domain

  f is an onto function.

 option (3) is correct.

  f is one-one.

Also, b-x1-bx=yb-x=y-bxy

For  y=1b, x is not defined.

  f is not onto and hence not invertible.

Also,  f'(x)=-1(1-bx)-(-b)(b-x)(1-bx)2=b2-1(1-bx)2
