Q 11 :

Consider the function f:(0,)R defined by f(x)=e-|logex|.  If m and n be respectively the number of points at which f is not continuous and f is not differentiable, then m+n is                            [2024]

  • 1

     

  • 0

     

  • 2

     

  • 3

     

(1)

Given, f(x)=e-|logex|

f(x)={1/e-logex,0<x<11/elogex,x1={x,0<x<11/x,x1

 f(x) is continuous everywhere for x>0 but not differentiable at x=1.

Thus, m=0,n=1

Hence, m+n=1



Q 12 :

Let f(x)=2x-x2,  xR. If m and n are respectively the number of points at which the curves y=f(x) and y=f'(x) intersect the x-axis, then the value of m+n is _________.                 [2024]



(5)

We have, f(x)=2x-x2

By graph, since f(x) intersects the x-axis at 3 points. So, number of solutions of f(x)=3

  m=3

Also, f'(x)=2xlog2-2x

By graph, since f'(x) intersects x-axis at 2 points. So, number of solutions of f'(x)=2

  n=2

Thus, m+n=3+2=5



Q 13 :

Let f:RR be a twice differentiale function such that (sin x cos y)(f(2x + 2y) – f(2x – 2y)) = (cos x sin y)(f(2x + 2y) + f(2x – 2y)), for all x, y  R.

If f'(0)=12, then the value of 24f''(5π3) is :          [2025]

  • –3

     

  • –2

     

  • 3

     

  • 2

     

(1)

We have, 

(sin x cos y)(f(2x + 2y) – f(2x – 2y)) = (cos x sin y)(f(2x + 2y) + f(2x – 2y))

 f(2x + 2y) sin (xy) = f(2x – 2y) sin (x + y)

 f(2x+2y)sin (x+y)=f(2x2y)sin (xy)

Put 2x + 2y = m and 2x – 2y = n, we get

f(m)sin (m2)=f(n)sin (n2)=K

 f(m)=K sin (m2) and f(n) = K sin (n2)

 f(x)=K sin (x2) f'(x) = K2 cos (x2)

Now, f'(0)=12  12=K2 K=1

  f'(x)=12 cos x2 f''(x)=14 sin x2

  24f''(5π3)=24(14 sin(5π6))=248=3.



Q 14 :

Let f(x)={(1+ax)1/x,x<01+b,x=0(x+4)1/22(x+c)1/32x>0 be continuous at x = 0. Then eabc is equal to :          [2025]

L.H.L. = f(0)=elimx01xlog (1+ax)=elimx0a1+ax=ea

R.H.L. = f(0+)=limx0(x+4)1/22(x+c)1/32=0c1/32

Since, f(x) is continuous at x = 0

   Right hand limit exists

 c1/32=0  c1/3=2  c=8          ... (i)

Now, f(0+)=2222           (00 form)

=34c2/3=34(8)2/3=3            [From (i)]

Now, f(0)=f(0)=f(0+)

 1+b=ea=3  b=2 and ea=3

  eabc=3×2×8=48.



Q 15 :

If y(x)=|sinxcosxsinx+cosx+1272827111|, x, then d2ydx2+y is equal to          [2025]

  • –1

     

  • 27

     

  • 1

     

  • 28

     

(1)

We have, 

y(x)=|sinxcosxsinx+cosx+1272827111|

 y(x) = sin x (28 – 27) – cos x (27 – 27) + (sin x + cos x + 1)(27 – 28)

y(x) = – cos x – 1

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

dydx=sinx  d2ydx2=cosx

  d2ydx2+y=cosx1cosx=1.



Q 16 :

Let f:RR be a continuous function satisfying f(0) = 1 and f(2x) – f(x) = x for all x R. If limn{f(x)f(x2n)}=G(x), then r=110G(r2) is equal to          [2025]

We have, f(2x) – f(x) = x

 f(x)f(x2)=x2

 f(x2)f(x4)=x4

 f(x2n1)f(x2n)=x2n

On adding all the above statements, we get

f(2x)f(x2n)=x+x2+x4+...+x2n

                           =x{1(12)n+1112}=2x[1(12)n+1]

 f(x)+xf(x2n)

       =2x[1(12)n+1]

 limn[f(x)f(x2n)]

 G(x)=x  r=110r2=385.



Q 17 :

Let f(x) be a real differentiable function such that f(0) = 1 and f(x+y)=f(x)f'(y)+f'(x)f(y) for all x, y  R. Then n=1100loge f(n) is equal to :          [2025]

  • 2525

     

  • 2384

     

(3)

f(x+y)=f(x)f'(y)+f'(x)f(y)

When x = 0, y = 0, we have

f(0)=f(0)f'(0)+f'(0)f(0)

 f(0)=2f'(0)f(0)  f'(0)=12

When y = 0, f(x)=f(x)f'(0)+f(0)f'(x)

 12f(x)=f'(x)          [ f(0) = 1]

Integrating both sides, we get f(x)=ex/2·C

Now, f(0)=1  f(x)=ex/2  loge f(x)=x2

  n=1100loge f(n)

= n=1100n2=12(100)(101)2=2525.

If the function f(x)={2x{sin(k1+1)x+sin(k21)x},x<04,  x=02xloge(2+k1x2+k2x),x>0 is continuous at x = 0, then k12+k22 is equal to          [2025]

limx0f(x)=limx02x{sin(k1+1)x+sin(k21)x}=4

 2(k1+1)+2(k21)=4

 2[k1+1+k21]=4

 k1+k2=2          ... (i)

limx0+f(x)=limx02x loge (2+k1x2+k2x)=4

limx0+1x loge (2+k1x2+k2x)=2;

limx0+1x loge (1+(k1k2)x2+k2x)=2

 k1k22=2  k1k2=4             ... (ii)

Adding (i) and (ii), we get

k1=3  k2=1

  k12+k22=(3)2+(1)2=9+1=10.



Q 19 :

Let [x] denote the greatest integer function, and let m and n respectively be the numbers of the points, where the function f(x)=[x]+|x2|,2<x<3, is not continuous and not differentiable Then m + n is equal to :          [2025]

  • 7

     

  • 8

     

  • 6

     

  • 9

     

(2)

Given : f(x)=[x]+|x2|,2<x<3

The function can also be written as follows:

f(x)={x,2<x<1x+1,1x<0x+2,0x<1x+3,1x<2x,2x<3

Here, function f(x) is not continuous at x = –1, 0, 1 and 2.

Hence, function f(x) is not differentiable at x = –1, 0, 1 and 2.

So, we have m = n = 4.

   m + n = 4 + 4 = 8.



Q 20 :

Let the function f(x)=(x21)|x2ax+2|+cos|x| be not differentiable at the two points x=α=2 and x=β. Then the distance of the point (α, β) from the line 12x + 5y +10 = 0 is equal to :          [2025]

  • 4

     

  • 3

     

  • 2

     

  • 5

     

(*)

We have, 

f(x)=(x21)|x2ax+2|+cos|x|

Now, cos |x| is always differentiable

So, we will check for |x2ax+2| and it is not differentiable at its roots.

It is given that x=α=2

 (2)2a(2)+2=0  42a+2=0  a=3

The other root of x23x+2 is x=1.

Note: There is error in question, f(x) is differentiable at x = 1.

 



Q 21 :

Let m and n be number of points at which the function f(x)=max {x,x3,x5,...,x21}, xR, is not differentiable and not continuous, respectively, Then m + n is equal to __________.           [2025]



(3)

Here, f(x)={x,x<1x21,1x<0x,0x<1x21,x1 is continuous everywhere.

Then, n = 0

 f'(x)={1,x<121x20,1x<01,0x<121x20,x1 is not differentiable at

x=1,0,1  m=3

So, m + n = 3.



Q 22 :

The number of points of discontinuity of the function f(x)=[x22][x], x[0,4], where [·] denotes the greatest integer function, is __________.          [2025]



(8)

Values of x, where [x22] may be discontinuous on x[0,4] are 2,2,6,22,10,23,14,4

And for [x], values of x are = 1, 4

On checking for continuity at these points, we get f(x) is discontinuous at x=1,2,2,6,22,10,23,14 and continuous at x = 4.

Hence, f(x) is discontinuous for 8 values of x[0,4].



Q 23 :

Q 24 :

f(x)={3x,x<0min {1+x+[x], x+2[x]},0x25,x>2

 f(x)={3x,x<0x,0x<1x+2,1x<25,x>2

   By graph, we have f(x) is not continuous at x{1,2}  α=2

f(x) is not differentiable at x{0,1,2}  β=3

  α+β=5.

  • not continuous at x=0 and x=1

We have,

f(x)={x+1,x<0x-1,x11-x,0x<1         (gof)(x)={x+2,x<-11,x-1

f(x)={(1+|cosx|)λ|cosx|,0<x<π2μ,x=π2cot6xecot4x,π2<x<π

Since f(x) is continuous at x=π2

  • |f'(x)-g'(x)|<6-1<x<1

     

  • If -1<x<2, then |f(x)-g(x)|<8

     

  • There exists x0(1,3/2) such that f(x0)=g(x0)

     

  • g(-2)-f(-2)=20

     

(2)

Suppose f and g be twice differentiable on  such that

f''(x)=g''(x)+6x                                           ...(1)

f'(1)=4g'(1)-3=9                                      ...(2)

f(2)=3g(2)=12                                             ...(3)

Firstly, we integrate equation (1).

So, f'(x)=g'(x)+6·x22+C At x = 1, we have

f'(1)=g'(1)+3+C, where C is the constant of integration.

9=3+3+C    C=3  (Using equation (2))

  f'(x)=g'(x)+3x2+3

Again, by integrating, f(x)=g(x)+3x33+3x+D, D is another constant of integration.

At x = 2, we have f(2)=g(2)+8+6+D

12=4+8+6+DD=-6  (from (3))

So, f(x)=g(x)+x3+3x-6

At x=-2g(-2)-f(-2)=20

Hence, option (4) is true.

Now, for -1<x<2

Let b(x)=f(x)-g(x)=x3+3x-6b'(x)=3x2+3

So, b(-1)<b(x)<b(2)-10<b(x)<8|b(x)|<10

So, option (2) is not true.

Now, b'(x)=f'(x)-g'(x)=3x2+3

If |b'(x)|<6|3x2+3|<6

3x2+3<6x2<1-1<x<1

So, option (1) is also true.

For x(-1,1), we have |f'(x)-g'(x)|<6

We have to solve the equation f(x)-g(x)=0

x3+3x-6=0  b(x)=x3+3x-6=0

b(x)=x3+3x-6

Here we have b(1)=-ve and b(32)=+ve

So, there exists x0(1,32) such that f(x0)=g(x0)

Hence, option (3) is also true.



Q 38 :

If aα is the greatest term in the sequence an=n3n4+147, n=1,2,3,, then α is equal to ________.           [2023]



(5)

We have, an=n3n4+147

Differentiate both sides w.r.t. n, we get

an'=(n4+147)3n2-n3·4n3(n4+147)2

Put an'=0

n2{3(n4+147)-4n4}(n4+147)2=0

3n4+441-4n4=0n4=441n2=21n=21

4<21<5a5>a4

So, α=5



Q 39 :

Let k and m be positive real numbers such that the function f(x)={3x2+kx+1,0<x<1mx2+k2,x1 is differentiable for all x>0. Then 8f'(8)f'(18) is equal to ______ .        [2023]
