If $f(x) = \cos [{\pi ^2}]x + \cos [ - {\pi ^2}]x$, then
  • A
    $f\left( {\frac{\pi }{4}} \right) = 2$
  • B
    $f( - \pi ) = 2$
  • C
    $f(\pi ) = 1$
  • $f\left( {\frac{\pi }{2}} \right) = - 1$
Answer
Correct option: D.
$f\left( {\frac{\pi }{2}} \right) = - 1$
d
(d) $f(x) = \cos \,[{\pi ^2}]x + \cos \,[ - {\pi ^2}]\,x$

$f(x) = \cos (9x) + \cos ( - 10x)$$ = \cos (9x) + \cos (10x)$

$ = 2\cos \left( {\frac{{19x}}{2}} \right)\cos \left( {\frac{x}{2}} \right)$

$f\left( {\frac{\pi }{2}} \right) = 2\cos \left( {\frac{{19\pi }}{4}} \right)\cos \left( {\frac{\pi }{4}} \right)$;

$f\left( {\frac{\pi }{2}} \right) = 2 \times \frac{{ - 1}}{{\sqrt 2 }} \times \frac{1}{{\sqrt 2 }} = - 1$.

Domain of the function $f(x) = {\left[ {{{\log }_{10}}\left( {\frac{{5x - {x^2}}}{4}} \right)} \right]^{1/2}}$ is
  • A
    $ - \infty < x < \infty $
  • $1 \le x \le 4$
  • C
    $4 \le x \le 16$
  • D
    $ - 1 \le x \le 1$
Answer
Correct option: B.
$1 \le x \le 4$
b
(b) We have $f(x) = {\left[ {{{\log }_{10}}\left( {\frac{{5x - {x^2}}}{4}} \right)} \right]^{1/2}}$…..(i)

From (i), clearly $f(x)$ is defined for those values of $x$ for which ${\log _{10}}\left[ {\frac{{5x - {x^2}}}{4}} \right] \ge 0$

==> $\left( {\frac{{5x - {x^2}}}{4}} \right) \ge {10^0} \Rightarrow \left( {\frac{{5x - {x^2}}}{4}} \right) \ge 1$

==> ${x^2} - 5x + 4 \le 0$ ==> $(x - 1)(x - 4) \le 0$

Hence domain of the function is $[1, 4].$

Answer
Correct option: C.
$( - 3,\; - 2) \cup ( - 2,\; - 1) \cup (1,\;\infty )$
c
(c) $f(x)$ is to be defined when ${x^2} - 1 > 0$

==> ${x^2} > 1,$ ==> $x < - 1{\rm{ \,or\, }}x > 1$ and $3 + x > 0$

$\therefore$ $x > - 3$ and $x \ne - 2$

$\therefore$ ${D_f} = ( - 3,\, - 2) \cup ( - 2,\, - 1) \cup (1,\,\infty )$.

  • $ - 1 - \sqrt 3 \le x \le - 1 + \sqrt 3 $
  • C
    $ - 2 \le x \le 2$
  • D
    $ - 2 + \sqrt 3 \le x \le - 2 - \sqrt 3 $
Answer
Correct option: B.
$ - 1 - \sqrt 3 \le x \le - 1 + \sqrt 3 $
b
(b) The quantity under root is positive, when

If we want the range of $f(x)$ to be real then, $0 \leq 2-2 x-x^{2}$

$\Longrightarrow x^{2}+2 x \leq 2$

$\Longrightarrow x^{2}+2 x+1 \leq 3$

$\Longrightarrow(x+1)^{2} \leq 3$

$\Longrightarrow-\sqrt{3} \leq x+1 \leq \sqrt{3}$

$\Longrightarrow-\sqrt{3}-1 \leq x \leq \sqrt{3}-1$

So the domain of $x$ is $[-1-\sqrt{3},-1+\sqrt{3}]$

The domain of the function $\sqrt {\log ({x^2} - 6x + 6)} $ is
  • A
    $( - \infty ,\;\infty )$
  • B
    $( - \infty ,\;3 - \sqrt 3 ) \cup (3 + \sqrt 3 ,\;\infty )$
  • $( - \infty ,\;1] \cup [5,\;\infty )$
  • D
    $[0,\;\infty )$
Answer
Correct option: C.
$( - \infty ,\;1] \cup [5,\;\infty )$
c
(c) The function $f(x) = \sqrt {\log ({x^2} - 6x + 6)} $ is defined when $\log ({x^2} - 6x + 6) \ge 0$

==> ${x^2} - 6x + 6 \ge 1$ ==> $(x - 5)(x - 1) \ge 0$

This inequality holds if $x \le 1$ or $x \ge 5$. 

Hence, the domain of the function will be $( - \infty ,\,1] \cup [5,\,\infty )$.

  • B
    $[1,\;\infty )$
  • C
    $[ - \sqrt 2 ,\; - 1] \cup [1,\;\sqrt 2 ]$
  • D
    $( - \infty ,\; - 1] \cup [1,\;\infty )$
Answer
Correct option: A.
$[1,\;\sqrt 2 ]$
a
(a) $f(x) = \sec \left( {\frac{\pi }{4}\,{{\cos }^2}x} \right)$

We know that, $0 \le {\cos ^2}x \le 1$ at $\cos x = 0,\,$  $f(x) = 1$ and

at $\cos x = 1$, $f(x) = \sqrt 2 $

$\therefore$ $1 \le x \le \sqrt 2 $==>$x \in [1,\,\,\sqrt 2 ]$.

MCQ 91 Mark
Let $[x]$ be the greatest integer less than or equal to $x$ for a real number $x$ Then the equation $\left[x^2\right]=x+1$ has
  • A
    two solutions
  • B
    one solution
  • No solution
  • D
    More than two solutions
Answer
Correct option: C.
No solution
c
(c)

We have, $\left[x^2\right]=x+1$

Clearly, Eq.$(i)$ $\Rightarrow x$ is an integer $\quad \ldots (ii)$

$x^2-\left\{x^2\right\} =x+1$

$\Rightarrow \quad x^2-x-1 =\left\{x^2\right\}$

$Eq.(iii) \Rightarrow x^2-x-1 < 1$

$\Rightarrow \quad-1 < x < 2 \quad \ldots$ (iv)

From Eqs.$(ii)$ and $(iv)$ $\Rightarrow$ possible values of $x$ are $0$ and $1 .$

But $0$ and $1$ do not satisfy Eq.$(i)$.

$\therefore$ Equation $\left[x^2\right]=x+1$ has no soltuion.

Let $y=\frac{x^2+2 x+1}{x^2-8 x+12}$

By cross multiplying

$y x^2-8 x y+12 y-x^2-2 x-1=0$

$x^2(y-1)-x(8 y+2)+(12 y-1)=0$

Case $1, y \neq 1$

$D \geq 0$

$\Rightarrow(8 y+2)^2-4(y-1)(12 y-1) \geq 0$

$\Rightarrow y(4 y+21) \geq 0$

$y \in\left(-\infty, \frac{-21}{4}\right] \cup[0, \infty)-\{1\}$

Case $2, y =1$

$x^2+2 x+1=x^2-8 x+12$

$10 x=11$

$x =\frac{11}{10} \quad$ So, $y$ can be 1

Hence $y \in\left(-\infty, \frac{-21}{4}\right] \cup[0, \infty)$

given $|a-b| \geq 2$ so if

$a=1  b=3,4,5,6  \rightarrow  4 \times 2=8$

$a=1  b=4,5,6 \rightarrow  3 \times 2=6$

$a=1  b=5,6  \rightarrow 2 \times 2=4$

$a=1  b=6  \rightarrow  2 \times 1=2$

$f(x)=\frac{1}{\sqrt{x-|x|}}$

Domain of $f:$

We know that, $0 \leq \mathrm{x}-[\mathrm{x}]<1$ for all $\mathrm{x} \in \mathrm{R}$

and $x-[x]=0$ for $x \in Z$

$\mathrm{So}, 0<\mathrm{x}-[\mathrm{x}]<1$ for all $\mathrm{x} \in \mathrm{R}-\mathrm{Z}$

Hence, domain of $\mathrm{f}=\mathrm{R}-\mathrm{Z}$

Range of $f:$

We have,

$0<\mathrm{x}-[\mathrm{x}]<1 \text { for all } \mathrm{x} \in \mathrm{R}-\mathrm{Z}$

$\Rightarrow 0<\sqrt{\mathrm{x}-[\mathrm{x}]}<1$ for all $\mathrm{x} \in \mathrm{R}-\mathrm{Z}$

$\Rightarrow 1<\frac{1}{\sqrt{x-|x|}}<\infty$ for all $x \in R-Z$

$\Rightarrow 1<\mathrm{f}(\mathrm{x})<\infty$ for all $\mathrm{x} \in \mathrm{R}-\mathrm{Z}$
