Q 1 :

Range of the function f(x)=x2+x+2x2+x+1, xR is               [2003]

  • (1,)  

     

  • (1,11/7]  

     

  • (1,7/3]  

     

  • (1,7/5]

     

(3)

f(x)=x2+x+2x2+x+1=(x2+x+1)+1x2+x+1

=1+1(x+12)2+34

We can see here that as x, f(x)1 which is the minimum value of f(x), i.e. fmin=1.

Also f(x) is maximum when (x+12)2+34 is minimum, which is so when x=-12.

 fmax=1+134=73,     Rf=(1,73]



Q 2 :

Let the function f:[0,1] be defined by f(x)=4x4x+2. Then the value of f(140)+f(240)+f(340)++f(3940)-f(12) is _______ .        [2020]



(19)

Since, f(x)+f(1-x)=4x4x+2+41-x41-x+2

=4x4x+2+4/4x4/4x+2=4x4x+2+22+4x=1

  f(140)+f(240)++f(3940)-f(12)

=[f(140)+f(3940)]+[f(240)+f(3840)]++f(2040)-f(12)

=(1+1+19 times)+f(12)-f(12)=19
