Q 1 :

Let f:RR be a function given by f(x)={1-cos2xx2,x<0α,x=0,β1-cosxx,x>0

 

where α,βR. If f is continuous at x=0, then α2+β2 is equal to      [2024]

  • 3

     

  • 6

     

  • 12

     

  • 48

     

(3)

f(x)={1-cos2xx2,x<0α,x=0,β1-cosxx,x>0

f(x) is continuous at x=0

f(0)=limx0-f(x)=limx0+f(x)

Now, limx0-f(x)=f(0)

     limx0-f(x)=αlimx0-(1-cos2xx2)=α

limx0-2sin2xx2=αlimh02sin2hh2=αα=2

Also, limx0+f(x)=f(0)

limx0+β1-cosxx=2limh0β1-coshh=2

limh0β2sinh2h=2limh0β2sinh22×h2=2

β2=2β=22

Hence, α2+β2=4+8=12

 



Q 2 :

If the function f(x)={72x-9x-8x+12-1+cosx,x0aloge 2loge3,x=0 is continuous at x=0, then the value of a2 is equal to               [2024]

  • 746

     

  • 968

     

  • 1250

     

  • 1152

     

(4)

f(x)={72x-9x-8x+12-1+cosx,x0aloge 2loge3,x=0

     f(x) is continuous at x=0

f(0)=limx072x-9x-8x+12-1+cosx

=limx0(9x-1)(8x-1)(2+1+cosx)(1-cosx)x2×x2

=limx0(9x-1x)(8x-1x)(2+1+cosx)(2sin2x24×x24)

=limx02(9x-1x)(8x-1x)(2+1+cosx)(sinx2x2)2

=2×(loge9loge8(22))=42×2×3loge2loge3

=242loge2loge3=aloge2loge3                       ( Given)

a=242

Hence, a2=1152



Q 3 :

If the function f(x)=sin3x+αsinx-βcos3xx3, xR, is continuous at x=0, then f(0) is equal to             [2024]

  • -4

     

  • -2

     

  • 2

     

  • 4

     

(1)

f(x)=sin3x+αsinx-βcos3xx3

f(0)=limx0(3x-27x36+)+α(x-x36+)-β(1-9x22+)x3

=limx0-β+x(3+α)+x292β+x3(-92-α6)x3          (Rest of the term will be zero)

Since this limit exists so, β=0

3+α=0 and 92β=0

α=-3

    f(0)=limx0(-92-α6)x3x3=-92+36

=-246=-4

So, f(0)=-4 

 



Q 4 :

Let f(x)=x5+2x3+3x+1, xR, and g(x) be a function such that g(f(x))=x for all xR. Then g(7)g'(7) is equal to        [2024]

  • 1

     

  • 7

     

  • 42

     

  • 14

     

(4)

We have, g(f(x))=x

On differentiating w.r.t. x, we get g'(f(x))·f'(x)=1

g'(f(x))=1f'(x)                                   ...(i)

Now, put f(x)=7, we get x5+2x3+3x+1=7

x5+2x3+3x-6=0

x=1 is the only solution because this function is increasing

g(7)=1                                                    ...(ii)

Now, g'(7)=1f'(1)                              [By (i) and (ii)]

=15+6+3=114

g(7)g'(7)=14

 



Q 5 :

If (θ)=2cosθ+cos2θcos3θ+4cos2θ+5cosθ+2, then at θ=π2, y''+y'+y is equal to      [2024]

  • 1

     

  • 32

     

  • 2

     

  • 12

     

(3)

We have, y=2cosθ+cos2θcos3θ+4cos2θ+5cosθ+2

=2cosθ+2cos2θ-14cos3θ-3cosθ+8cos2θ-4+5cosθ+2

=2cos2θ+2cosθ-14cos3θ+8cos2θ+2cosθ-2

=2cos2θ+2cosθ-12cosθ(2cos2θ+2cosθ-1)+4cos2θ+4cosθ-2

=2cos2θ+2cosθ-12cosθ(2cos2θ+2cosθ-1)+2(2cos2θ+2cosθ-1)

=12cosθ+2

=12(1cosθ+1)

y'(θ)=12[sinθ(1+cosθ)2]

y''(θ)=12[cosθ(1+cosθ)2+sin2θ·2(1+cosθ)(1+cosθ)4]

=12[cosθ(1+cosθ)+2sin2θ(1+cosθ)3]

at θ=π2, y'=12, y''=1 and y=12

So, y''+y'+y=1+12+12=2

 



Q 6 :

Let f:[-1,2]R be given by f(x)=2x2+x+[x2]-[x], where [t]denotes the greatest integer less than or equal to t. The number of points, where f is not continuous, is                [2024]

  • 4

     

  • 6

     

  • 5

     

  • 3

     

(1)

f(x)=2x2+x+[x2]-[x]

We check continuity at

x=0,1,2,-1,2,3

At x=0

LHL=limx0-f(x)=0+0+0-(-1)=1

RHL=limx0+f(x)=0+0+0-(0)=-0

∵   LHLRHL at x=0

   f(x) is not continuous at x=0

        At x=1

LHL=limx1-f(x)=2+1+0-0=3

RHL=limx1+f(x)=2+1+1-1=3

f(1)=2+1+1-1=3

∵  LHL=RHL=f(x) at x=1

  f(x) is continuous at x=1

At   x=2

LHL=limx2-f(x)=8+2+3-1=12

RHL=limx2+f(x)=8+2+4-2=12

f(2)=8+2+4-2=12

∵  LHL=RHL=f(x) at x=2

  f(x) is continuous at x=2

At  x=2

LHL=limx2-f(x)=4+2+1-1=4+2

RHL=limx2+f(x)=4+2+2-1=5+2

∵   LHLRHL at x=2

   f(x) is not continuous at x=2

Similarly, LHLRHL at x=-1 and 3

So there are 4 points of discontinuity.



Q 7 :

If f(x)={x3sin(1x),x00,x=0, then                [2024]

  • f''(0)=0

     

  • f''(0)=1

     

  • f''(2π)=12-π22π

     

  • f''(2π)=24-π22π

     

(4)

f(x)={x3sin1x,x00,x=0,

It is a differentiable function.

   f'(x)=3x2sin1x+x3cos1x(-1x2)

            =3x2sin1x-xcos1x

           f''(x)=6xsin1x-3cos1x-cos1x-sin1xx

          f''(2π)=6×2π-π2=24-π22π

 



Q 8 :

Suppose for a differentiable function h,h(0)=0,h(1)=1 and h'(0)=h'(1)=2. If g(x)=h(ex)eh(x), then g'(0) is equal to        [2024]

  • 8

     

  • 5

     

  • 3

     

  • 4

     

(4)

We have, g(x)=h(ex)eh(x)

g'(x)=h(ex)eh(x)h'(x)+eh(x)h'(ex)·ex

g'(0)=h(1)eh(0)h'(0)+eh(0)h'(1)=1×2+2=4

 



Q 9 :

For a,b>0, let f(x)={tan((a+1)x)+btan xx,x<03,x=0ax+b2x2-axbaxx,x>0  be a continuous function at x=0. Then ba is equal to              [2024]

  • 5

     

  • 6

     

  • 8

     

  • 4

     

(2)

We have, f(x) is continuous at x=0.

     f(0-)=f(0)=f(0+)

   limx0-f(x)=limx0-tan[(a+1)x]+btanxx

                  =limx0-tan[(a+1)x](a+1)x×(a+1)+blimx0-tanxx

                  =a+1+b=3                            [f(0)=3]

and limx0+f(x)=limx0+ax+b2x2-axba xx

=limx0+a+b2x-abax×a+b2x+aa+b2x+a

=limx0+b2xba x(a+b2x+a)

=limx0+b2ba(a+b2x+a)=b2ba(a+0+a)=b2a=3

   a+1+b=3 and b2a=3ba=6

 



Q 10 :

Let f(x)=ax3+bx2+cx+41 be such that f(1)=40,f'(1)=2  and f''(1)=4. Then a2+b2+c2 is equal to             [2024]

  • 73

     

  • 62

     

  • 54

     

  • 51

     

(4)

We have, f(x)=ax3+bx2+cx+41

f(1)=40a+b+c+41=40a+b+c=-1              ...(i)

f'(1)=23a+2b+c=2                                                           ...(ii)

Also, f''(x)=6ax+2b

f''(1)=46a+2b=4                                                                ...(iii)

On solving (i), (ii), and (iii), we get a=-1,b=5,c=-5

    a2+b2+c2=1+25+25=51

 



Q 11 :

If logey=3sin-1x, then (1-x2)y''-xy' at x=12 is equal to             [2024]

  • 9eπ6

     

  • 9eπ2

     

  • 3eπ6

     

  • 3eπ2

     

(2)

logey=3sin-1x

Differentiating w.r.t. 'x' we get

1yy'=31-x2

y'=3y1-x2                                                                    ...(i)

Again differentiating w.r.t. 'x' we get

y''=3[1-x2y'-y121-x2(-2x)(1-x2)]

(1-x2)y''=3[1-x2·3y1-x2+xy1-x2]         [Using (i)]

                              =3[3y+xy1-x2]

Now, y'(12)=3e3sin-1(12)1-14=3eπ/232=23eπ/2

(1-x2)y''(x) at (x=12)=3[3eπ/2+12eπ/232]

=3[3eπ/2+13eπ/2]=3eπ/2[3+13]

So, (1-x2)y''-xy' at x=12 is given by

3eπ/2[3+13]-12(23eπ/2)=9eπ/2

 



Q 12 :

Let f:RR be defined as f(x)={a-bcos2xx2;x<0x2+cx+2;0x12x+1;x>1

If f is continuous everywhere in R and m is the number of points where f is NOT differential, then m+a+b+c equals              [2024]

  • 3

     

  • 1

     

  • 4

     

  • 2

     

(4)

Given, f(x) is continuous everywhere

f(0-)=f(0)2b=2b=1

f(1)=f(1+)3+c=3c=0

Since, f(0-)=2

=limh0a-bcos2hh2=limh0a-b{1-4h22!+16h44!-}h2

=limh0(a-b)+b{2h2-23h4}h2

=for limit to exist a-b=0 and limit is 2b           a=b=1

Now, Lf'(0)=limx01-cos2hh2-2-h

=limx01-(1-4h22!+16h24!)-2h2-h3=0

Also, Rf'(0)=limx0(0+h)2+2-2h=0

   m=0

   m+a+b+c=0+1+1+0=2

 



Q 13 :

Consider the function,

f(x)={a(7x-12-x2)b|x2-7x+12|,x<32sin(x-3)x-[x],x>3b,x=3

where [x] denotes the greatest integer less than or equal to x. If S denotes the set of all ordered pairs (a,b) such that f(x) is continuous at x=3, then the number of elements in S is:                 [2024]

  • 2

     

  • Infinitely many

     

  • 1

     

  • 4

     

(3)

As f(x) is continuous at x=3.

So, LHL=RHL = f(a)

limx3-a(7x-12-x2)b|x2-7x+12|=limx3+2sin(x-3)x-[x]=b

-ab=21=b                                     [limn0sinnn=1]

 b=2,a=-4  Number of elements in S=1



Q 14 :

If f(x)=|2cos4x2sin4x3+sin22x3+2cos4x2sin4xsin22x2cos4x3+2sin4xsin22x|, then 15f'(0) is equal to                 [2024]

  • 1

     

  • 2

     

  • 0

     

  • 6

Q 15 :

Suppose f(x)=(2x+2-x)tanxtan-1(x2-x+1)(7x2+3x+1)3Then the value of f'(0) is equal to            [2024]

  • π

     

  • π2

     

  • 0

     

  • π

     

(4)

We have, f(x)=(2x+2-x)tanxtan-1(x2-x+1)(7x2+3x+1)3

Let A(x)=(2x+2-x), B(x)=tanx and C(x)=tan-1(x2-x+1)

A'(x)=2xlog2-2-xlog2=(2x-2-x)log2,

B'(x)=sec2x

and C'(x)=12tan-1(x2-x+1)×11+(x2-x+1)2×(2x-1)

=(2x-1)2(1+(x2-x+1)2)tan-1(x2-x+1)

A(0)=2, B(0)=0, and C(0)=π4=π2

Also, A'(0)=0, B'(0)=1, and C'(0)=-12π

Now, f'(x)=[A'(x)B(x)C(x)+A(x)B'(x)C(x)+A(x)B(x)C'(x)]-A(x)B(x)C(x)[3(7x2+3x+1)2(14x+3)](7x2+3x+1)6

f'(0)=[A'(0)B(0)C(0)+A(0)B'(0)C(0)+A(0)B(0)C'(0)]-A(0)B(0)C(0)[3(1)2(3)](1)6

=(0+2×1×π2+0)-0=π



Q 16 :

Let y=loge(1-x21+x2), -1<x<1. Then at x=12, the value of 225(y'-y'') is equal to           [2024]

  • 746

     

  • 736

     

  • 742

     

  • 732

     

(2)

We have, y=loge(1-x21+x2)

y=loge(1-x2)-loge(1+x2)

y'=11-x2×(-2x)-11+x2×(2x)

y'=-4x1-x4y''=(1-x4)(-4)-(-4x)(-4x3)(1-x4)2

y''=-4(1+3x4)(1-x4)2

Now, 225(y'-y'')=225[-4x1-x4+4(1+3x4)(1-x4)2]

225(y'-y'') at x=12 is equal to 225[-4×121-116+4(1+316)(1-116)2]=736



Q 17 :

Let g:RR be a non constant twice differentiable function such that g'(12)=g'(32). If a real valued function f is defined as f(x)=12[g(x)+g(2-x)], then                [2024]

  • f''(x)=0 for no x in (0, 1)

     

  • f'(32)+f'(12)=1

     

  • f''(x)=0 for at least two x in (0, 2)

     

  • f''(x)=0 for exactly one x in (0, 1)

     

(3)

We have, f(x)=12[g(x)+g(2-x)]

So f'(x)=12(g'(x)+g'(2-x)(-1))=12(g'(x)-g'(2-x))

      f'(12)=12(g'(12)-g'(2-12))

       =12(g'(12)-g'(32))=0                               [    g'(12)=g'(32)]

Similarly f'(32)=12(g'(32)-g'(12))=0

Now, f'(x)=0 when x=12 and 32

So, f''(x) has at least two roots in (0,2).           [By Rolle's theorem]

 



Q 18 :

Let f:R-{0}R be a function satisfying f(xy)=f(x)f(y) for all x,y,f(y)0. If f'(1)=2024, then           [2024]

  • xf'(x)+f(x)=2024

     

  • xf'(x)-2024f(x)=0

     

  • xf'(x)-2023f(x)=0

     

  • xf'(x)+2024f(x)=0

     

(2)

We have, f(xy)=f(x)f(y) and f'(1)=2024

On putting x=y=1, we get 

f(1)=1                                                                                      ...(i)

Also, on putting x=1, we get 

f(1y)=f(1)f(y)=1f(y)             (Using (i))

f(y)=±yn  (∵   If f(x)f(1x)=1, then f(x)=±xn)

f(y)=yn             (∵ f(1)=1)

f'(y)=nyn-1  f'(1)=n=2024

Now, f(x)=x2024

f'(x)=2024x2023  xf'(x)=2024x2024

  xf'(x)-2024x2024=0

 



Q 19 :

Let g(x) be a linear function and f(x)={g(x),x0(1+x2+x)1x,x>0, is continuous at x=0. If f'(1)=f(-1), then the value of g(3) is        [2024]

  • 13loge(49)+1

     

  • 13loge(49e1/3)

     

  • loge(49e1/3)

     

(4)

f(x)={g(x),x<0(1+x2+x)1x,x>0 is continuous at x=0

Let g(x)=px+q

Since, f(x) is continuous at, x=0.

  g(x)=p(x) (q=0)

Now, f'(1)=f(-1),  y=(1+x2+x)1/x

logy=log(1+x2+x)1/xlogy=1xlog(1+x2+x)

1ydydx=-1x2log(1+x2+x)+1x×(11+x2+x)×(x+2)-(x+1)(2+x)2

at x=1

     f'(1)=23[-log(23)+32(19)]-23log(23)+19

and at x=-1

f(-1)=-p=-23log(23)+19p=23log(23)-19

g(3)=3p=2log(23)-13=log(49)+loge-1/3

=log(49e1/3)



Q 20 :

If f(x)=|x32x2+11+3x3x2+22xx3+6x3-x4x2-2| for all xR, then 2f(0)+f'(0) is equal to             [2024]

Q 21 :

Let f:RR be a thrice differentiable function such that f(0)=0,f(1)=1,f(2)=-1,f(3)=2 and f(4)=-2. Then, the minimum number of zeros of (3f'f''+ff''')(x) is _______ .         [2024]



(5)

 f:RR and f(0)=0,f(1)=1,f(2)=-1,f(3)=2 and f(4)=-2, then

 f(x) has at least 4 real roots.

Then f'(x) has atleast 3 real roots and f''(x) has atleast 2 real roots.

ddx(f3·f'')=3f2·f'·f''+f3·f'''=f2(3f'·f''+f·f''').

Hence, f3.f'' has at least 6 roots.

Then its differentiation has at least 5 distinct roots.

Let f:(0,π)R be a function given by

f(x)={(87)tan 8xtan 7x,0<x<π2a-8,x=π2(1+|cot x|)ba|tan x|,π2<x<π

where a,bZ. If f is continuous at x=π2, then a2+b2 is equal to _____.        [2024]



(81)

Since, f is continuous at x=π2

 limxπ-2f(x)=f(π2)=limxπ+2f(x)

Now, limxπ-2(87)(tan8xtan7x)

=limh0(87)tan(4π-8h)tan(3π+π2-7h)=limh0(87)tan(-8h)cot(7h)=(87)0=1

a-8=1a=9

Also, limππ2+f(x)=limππ2(1+|cotx|)ba|tanx|

=limh0(1-tanh)-b9coth

=limh0(1-tanh)(1tanh)·(tanh)·(-b9coth)=eb9=1b=0

Hence, a2+b2=81+0=81



Q 24 :

For a differentiable function f:RR, suppose f'(x)=3f(x)+α, where αR, f(0)=1 and limx-f(x)=7. Then 9f(-loge3) is equal to ______ .                  [2024]



(61)

We have f'(x)=3f(x)+α

Let f(x)=y and dydx=f'(x)dydx=3y+αdy3y+α=dx

13log(3y+α)=x+c    ... (i) [On integrating]

Now, f(0)=1, so y(0)=1

13log(3+α)=c

13log(3y+α3+α)=x                        [Putting value of c in eq. (i)]

3y+α3+α=e3xy=e3x(3+α)-α3=f(x)

Now, limx-f(x)=7

limx-e3x(3+α)-α3=7-α3=7

α=-21

  f(x)=7-6e3x

So, 9f(-loge3)=9(7-6e3(-loge3))

=9(7-627)=63-2=61



Q 25 :

If y=(x+1)(x2-x)xx+x+x+115(3cos2x-5)cos3x, then 96y'(π6) is equal to _______ .             [2024]



(105)

We have, y=(x+1)(x2-x)x(x+1)+x+115(3cos2x-5)cos3x

=x(x-1)(x+1+x)x(x+x+1)+115(3cos2x-5)cos3x

=x-1+15cos5x-13cos3x

y'=1+15·5cos4x·(-sinx)-13·3·cos2x·(-sinx)

=1-sinx·cos4x+sinx·cos2x

96y'(π6)=96[1-12·916+12·34]=105



Q 26 :

Let for a differentiable function f:(0,)R, f(x)-f(y)loge(xy)+x-y,x, y(0,). 

Then n=120f'(1n2) is equal to _____ .        [2024]



(2890)

f(x)-f(y)loge(xy)+x-y(x,y)(0,)                ...(i)

Now, f'(x)=limh0f(x+h)-f(x)h=limh0loge(x+hx)+hh

=limh0[loge(1+hx)h+1]=1x+1                          ..(ii)

Now, n=120f'(1n2)=n=12011n2+1                                [Using (i)]

=n=120(n2+1)=[n(n+1)(2n+1)6+n]n=20

=20×21×416+20=2870+20=2890



Q 27 :

Let f(x)=x3+x2f'(1)+xf''(2)+f'''(3),xR. Then f'(10) is equal to _____ .         [2024]



(202)

f(x)=x3+x2f'(1)+xf''(2)+f'''(3),xR

f'(x)=3x2+2xf'(1)+f''(2),

f''(x)= 6x+2f'(1)

f'''(x)=6f'''(3)=6

f''(2)=6(2)+2f'(1)=12+2f'(1),

             f'(1)=3(1)2+2(1)f'(1)+f''(2)=3+2f'(1)+f''(2)

f'(1)=3+2f'(1)+12+2f'(1)

3f'(1)=-15f'(1)=-5

  f''(2)=12+2(-5)=2

Now, f'(10)=3(10)2+2(10)f'(1)+f''(2)

                       =300+20(-5)+2=202



Q 28 :

If the function f(x)={1|x|,|x|2ax2+2b,|x|<2 is differentiable on R, then 48(a+b) is equal to ______ .               [2024]



(15)

f(x)={1|x|,|x|2ax2+2b,|x|<2

Since, f is differentiable so f must be continuity

⇒R.H.L. at 2=L.H.L. at 2

12=4a+2b                                                                    ...(i)

Also, f is differentiable at x=2,

Now, around 2, f(x)={1x,x2ax2+2b,x<2

f'(x)={-1x2,x22ax,x<2

Now, R.H.D. at x=2=L.H.D. at x=2

-14=4aa=-1162b=12+14=34  [Using (i)]

b=38

So, 48(a+b)=48(38-116)=48×516=15



Q 29 :

Let f(x)=|2x2+5|x|-3|, xR. If m and n denote the number of points where f is not continuous and not differentiable respectively, then m+n is equal to   [2024]

  • 5

     

  • 3

     

  • 2

     

  • 0

     

(2)

We have, f(x)=|2x2+5|x|-3|, xR

f(x)  is continuous at every point.

So, m=0

Now, from the graph, f(x) is non-differentiable at x=-12, 0, 12

So, n=3

 m+n=3



Q 30 :

Consider the function f:(0,2)R defined by f(x)=x2+2x and the function g(x) defined by 

g(x)={min{f(t)},0<tx and 0<x132+x,1<x<2

Then,                                                                                                         [2024]

  • g is neither continuous nor differentiable at x=1

     

  • g is continuous and differentiable for all x(0,2)

     

  • g is continuous but not differentiable at x=1

     

  • g is not continuous for all x(0,2)

     

(3)

Given, f:(0,2)R

f(x)=x2+2x

and g(x)={min{f(t)},0<tx and 0<x132+x,1<x<2

 f'(x)=12-2x2=(x-2)(x+2)2x2

 f(x) is decreasing in (0, 2).

min(f(t))=f(x),  0<tx

 g(x)={x2+2x,0<x1x+32,1<x<2

From the graph, we see that g(x) is continuous but not differentiable at x=1.
