Question 11 Mark
Find $f(x)$,
if$g(x)=1+\sqrt{x}$ and $f[g(x)]=3+2 \sqrt{x}+x$.
Answer
$ g(x)=1+\sqrt{x}$
$f(g(x))=3+2 \sqrt{x}+x$
$=x+2 \sqrt{ } x+1+2$
$=(\sqrt{ } x+1)^2+2$
$f(\sqrt{ } x+1)=(\sqrt{ } x+1)^2+2$
$\therefore f(x)=x^2+2 $

Question 21 Mark
Find the range of the following function : $f(x)=1+2 x+4 x$
Answer
$f(x)=1+2 x+4 x$
Since, $2 x>0,4 x>0$
$
\therefore \mathrm{f}(\mathrm{x})>1
$
$\therefore$ Range of $f=(1, \infty)$

Question 31 Mark
Find the range of the following function : $f(x)=[x]-x$
Answer
$f(x)=[x]-x=-\{x\}$
$\therefore$ Range of $f=(-1,0] \ldots . .[0 \leq\{x\}<1]$

Question 41 Mark
Find the range of the following function : $f(x)=\frac{1}{1+\sqrt{x}}$
Answer
$f(x)=\frac{1}{1+\sqrt{x}}=y$, (say)
$ \therefore \sqrt{ } \mathrm{x} y+\mathrm{y}=1$
$\therefore \sqrt{\mathrm{x}}=\frac{1-y}{y} \geq 0$
$\therefore \frac{y-1}{y} \leq 0$
$\therefore 0<\mathrm{y} \leq 1 $
$\therefore$ Range of $f=(0,1]$

Question 51 Mark
Find the range of the following function : $f(x)=\frac{x}{9+x^2}$
Answer
$f(x)=\frac{x}{9+x^2}=y$ (say)
$\therefore \mathrm{x}^2 \mathrm{y}-\mathrm{x}+9 \mathrm{y}=0$
For real $x$, Discriminant $>0$
$ \therefore 1-4(y)(9 y) \geq 0$
$\therefore y^2 \leq \frac{1}{36}$
$\therefore \frac{-1}{6} \leq y \leq \frac{1}{6}$
$\therefore \text { Range of } f=\left[\frac{-1}{6}, \frac{1}{6}\right] $

Question 71 Mark
Find the domain of the following functions.$f(x)={ }^{5-x} P_{x-1}$
Answer
$ f(x)={ }^{5-x} P_{x-1}$
$5-x>0, x-1 \geq 0, x-1 \leq 5-x$
$\therefore x<5, x \geq 1 \text { and } 2 x \leq 6$
$\therefore x \leq 3$

Question 91 Mark
Find the domain of the following functions.$f(x)=\sqrt{x-3}+\frac{1}{\log (5-x)}$
Answer
$f(x)=\sqrt{x-3}+\frac{1}{\log (5-x)}$
For $f$ to be defined,
$ x-3 \geq 0,5-x>0 \text { and } 5-x \neq 1$
$x \geq 3, x<5 \text { and } x \neq 4$
$\therefore \text { Domain of } f=[3,4) \cup(4,5) $

Question 101 Mark
Find the domain of the following functions.

$f(x)=\frac{x^2+4 x+4}{x^2+x-6}$

Answer
$f(x)=\frac{x^2+4 x+4}{x^2+x-6}=\frac{x^2+4 x+4}{(x+3)(x-2)}$
For $f$ to be defined, $x \neq-3,2$
$\therefore$ Domain of $\mathrm{f}=(-\infty,-3) \cup(-3,2) \cup(2, \infty)$

Question 161 Mark
Solve the following for $x$, where $|x|$ is modulus function, $[x]$ is the greatest integer function, $\{x\}$ is a fractional part function.$\left|x^2-x-6\right|=x+2$
Answer
$\left|x^2-x-6\right|=x+2 \ldots$.(i)
R.H.S. must be non-negative
$ \therefore x \geq-2 \ldots \text {.(ii) }$
$|(x-3)(x+2)|=x+2$
$\therefore(x+2)|x-3|=x+2 \text { as } x+2 \geq 0$
$\therefore|x-3|=1 \text { if } x \neq-2$
$\therefore x-3= \pm 1$
$\therefore x=4 \text { or } 2 $
$\therefore \mathrm{x}=-2$ also satisfies the equation

Question 201 Mark
If $\log \left(\frac{a+b}{2}\right)=\frac{1}{2}(\log a+\log b)$, then show that $a=b$.
Answer
$ \log \left(\frac{a+b}{2}\right)=\frac{1}{2}(\log a+\log b)$
$\therefore 2 \log \left(\frac{a+b}{2}\right)=\log a+\log b$
$\therefore \log \left(\frac{a+b}{2}\right)^2=\log a b$
$\therefore \frac{(a+b)^2}{4}=a b$
$\therefore a^2+2 a b+b^2=4 a b$
$\therefore a^2+2 a b-4 a b+b^2=0$
$\therefore a^2-2 a b+b^2=0$
$\therefore(a-b)^2=0$
$\therefore a-b=0$
$\therefore a=b$

Find whether the following functions are onto or not.

$f: R \rightarrow R$ defined by $f(x)=x^2+3$ for all $x \in R$

Answer
$f(x)=x^2+3=y$ (say)
$
(x, y \in R)
$
Clearly $y \geq 3 \ldots . .\left[x^2 \geq 0\right]$
$\therefore$ All the real numbers less than 3 from codomain $\mathrm{R}$, have not been preassigned any element from the domain $\mathrm{R}$.
$\therefore \mathrm{f}$ is not onto.

Check if the following functions have an inverse function. If yes, find the inverse function.

$f(x)=8$

Answer
f(x) = 8 = y (say)
For every value of x, the value of the function f is the same.
∴ f is not one-one i.e. (many-one) function.
∴ f does not have the inverse.
