  1. $(-\infty,-3]\cup(2,5)$
  2. $(-\infty,-3]\cup(2,5)$
  3. $(-\infty,-3]\cup[2,5]$
  4. None of these.
Answer
  1.  $(-\infty,-3]\cup(2,5)$

Solution:

$\text{f(x)}=\sqrt{\frac{\text{x}+3}{(2-\text{x})(\text{x}-5)}}$

For f(x) to be defined,

$(2-\text{x})(\text{x}-5)\neq0$

$\Rightarrow\text{x}\neq2,5\ ...(\text{i})$

Also, $\frac{(\text{x}+3)}{(2-\text{x})(\text{x}-5)}\geq0$

$\Rightarrow\frac{(\text{x}+3)(2-\text{x})(\text{x}-5)}{(2-\text{x})^2(\text{x}-5)^2}\geq0$

$\Rightarrow(\text{x}+3)(\text{x}-2)(\text{x}-5)\leq0$

$\Rightarrow\text{x}\in\big(-\infty,-3\big]\cap(2,5)\ ...(\text{ii})$

From (i) and (ii)

$\text{x}\in\big(-\infty,-3\big]\cup(2,5)$

Question 41 Mark
The range of the function $\text{f(x)}=\frac{\text{x}^2-\text{x}}{\text{x}^2+2\text{x}}$ is:
  1. $\text{R}$
  2. $\text{R}-\{1\}$
  3. $\text{R}-\Big\{\frac{1}{2},1\Big\}$
  4. None of these.
Answer
  1. $\text{R}-\Big\{\frac{1}{2},1\Big\}$

Solution:

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

Let, $\text{y}=\frac{\text{x}^2-\text{x}}{\text{x}^2+2\text{x}}$ $\big[\text{Also},\text{ x}\neq0\big]$

$\Rightarrow\text{y}=\frac{\text{x}(\text{x}-1)}{\text{x}(\text{x}+2)}$

$\Rightarrow\text{y}=\frac{(\text{x}-1)}{(\text{x}+2)}$

$\Rightarrow\text{xy}+2\text{y}=\text{x}-1$

$\Rightarrow\text{x}=\frac{2\text{y}+1}{1-\text{y}}$

Here, $1-\text{y}\neq0$

Or, $\text{y}\neq1$

Also, $\text{x}\neq0$

$\Rightarrow\frac{2\text{y}+1}{1-\text{y}}\neq0$

$\Rightarrow\text{y}\neq-\frac{1}{2}$

Thus, range $\text{(f)}=\text{R}-\Big\{-\frac{1}{2},1\Big\}$

Question 51 Mark
If $\text{e}^{\text{f(x)}}=\frac{10+\text{x}}{10-\text{x}},\text{ x}\in(-10,10)$ and $\text{f(x)}=\text{kf}\Big(\frac{200\text{x}}{100+\text{x}^2}\Big),$ then k =
  1. 0.5
  2. 0.6
  3. 0.7
  4. 0.8
Answer
  1. 0.5

Solution:

$\text{e}^{\text{f(x)}}=\frac{10+\text{x}}{10-\text{x}}$

$\Rightarrow\text{ f(x)}=\log_\text{e}\Big(\frac{10+\text{x}}{10-\text{x}}\Big)\ ...(\text{i})$

$\Rightarrow\ \text{f(x)}=\text{kf}\Big(\frac{200\text{x}}{100+\text{x}^2}\Big)$

$\Rightarrow\ \log_\text{e}\Big(\frac{10+\text{x}}{10-\text{x}}\Big)=\text{k}\log_\text{e}\Bigg(\frac{10+\frac{200\text{x}}{100+\text{x}^2}}{10-\frac{200\text{x}}{100+\text{x}^2}}\Bigg)$ {from (1)}

$\Rightarrow\ \log_\text{e}\Big(\frac{10+\text{x}}{10-\text{x}}\Big)=\text{k}\log_\text{e}\Big(\frac{1000+10\text{x}^2+200\text{x}}{1000+10\text{x}^2-200\text{x}}\Big)$

$\Rightarrow\ \log_\text{e}\Big(\frac{10+\text{x}}{10-\text{x}}\Big)=\text{k}\log_\text{e}\bigg(\frac{(\text{x}+10)^2}{(\text{x}-10)^2}\bigg)$

$\Rightarrow\ \log_\text{e}\Big(\frac{10+\text{x}}{10-\text{x}}\Big)=2\text{k}\log_\text{e}\frac{(\text{x}+10)}{(\text{x}+10)}$

$\Rightarrow\ 1=2\text{k}$

$\Rightarrow\ \text{k}=\frac{1}{2}=0.5$

Question 71 Mark
Let f : R → R be defined by f(x) = 2x + |x|. Then f(2x) + f(-x) - f(x) =
  1. 2x
  2. 2|x|
  3. -2x
  4. -2|x|
Answer
  1. 2|x|

Solution:

f(x) = 2x + |x|

Then, f(2x) + f(-x) - f(x)

= 2(2x) + 2|x| + (-2x) + |-x| - 2x + |x|

= 4x - 2x - 2x + 2|x| + |-x| - |x|

= 0 + 2|x| + |x| - |x| = 2|x|

= 2|x|

Question 81 Mark
The domain of definition of the function $\text{f(x)}=\sqrt{\frac{\text{x}-2}{\text{x}+2}}+\sqrt{\frac{1-\text{x}}{1+\text{x}}}$ is:
  1. $\big(-\infty,-2\big]\cap\big[2,-\infty\big)$
  2. $\big[-1,1\big]$
  3. $\phi$
  4. None of these.
Answer
  1. $\phi$

Solution:

$\text{f(x)}=\sqrt{\frac{\text{x}-2}{\text{x}+2}}+\sqrt{\frac{1-\text{x}}{1+\text{x}}}$

For f(x) to be defined,

$\text{x}+2\neq0$

$\Rightarrow\text{x}\neq-2\ ...(\text{i})$

And $1+\text{x}\neq0$

$\Rightarrow\text{x}\neq-1\ ...(\text{ii})$

Also, $\frac{\text{x}-2}{\text{x}+2}\geq0$

$\Rightarrow\frac{(\text{x}-2)(\text{x}-2)}{(\text{x}-2)^2}\ge0$

$\Rightarrow(\text{x}-2)(\text{x}+2)\geq0$

$\Rightarrow\text{x}\in(\infty,-2)\cup\big[2,\infty\big)\ ...(\text{iii})$

And $\frac{1-\text{x}}{1+\text{x}}\geq0$

$\Rightarrow\frac{(1-\text{x})(1+\text{x})}{(1+\text{x})^2}\geq0$

$\Rightarrow(1-\text{x})(1+\text{x})\geq0$

$\Rightarrow\text{ x}\in\big(-\infty,-1\big)\cup\big[1,\infty\big)\ ...(\text{iv})$

From (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv) we get

$\text{x }\in\phi$

Thus, domain $(\text{f(x)})=\phi$

If $\text{f(x)}=\cos(\log\text{x}),$ then value of $\text{f(x)}\text{f(4)}-\frac{1}{2}\Big\{\text{f}\Big(\frac{\text{x}}{4}\Big)+\text{f}(4\text{x})\Big\}$ is:
  1. 1
  2. -1
  3. 0
  4. $\pm1$
Answer
  1. 0

Solution:

Given, $\text{f(x)}=\cos(\log\text{x})$

Then, $\text{f(x)}\text{f(4)}-\frac{1}{2}\Big\{\text{f}\Big(\frac{\text{x}}{4}\Big)+\text{f}(4\text{x})\Big\}$

$=\cos(\log\text{x})\cos(\log4)+\frac{1}{2}\Big\{\cos\Big(\log\frac{\text{x}}{4}\Big)+\cos(\log4\text{x})\Big\}$

$=\frac{1}{2}\big[\cos(\log\text{x}+\log4\big)+\cos(\log\text{x}-\log4)\big]\\-\frac{1}{2}\Big\{\cos\Big(\log\frac{\text{x}}{4}\Big)+\cos(\log4\text{x})\Big\}$

$=\frac{1}{2}\Big\{\cos(\log4\text{x})+\cos\Big(\log\frac{\text{x}}{4}\Big)-\cos\Big(\log\frac{\text{x}}{4}\Big)-\cos(\log4\text{x})\Big\}$

$=\frac{1}{2}\times0=0$

Question 101 Mark
The domain of definition of $\text{f(x)}=\sqrt{\text{x}-3-2\sqrt{\text{x}-4}}-\sqrt{\text{x}-3+2\sqrt{\text{x}-4}}$ is:
  1. $\big[4,\infty\big)$
  2. $\big(-\infty,4\big]$
  3. $(4,\infty)$
  4. $(-\infty,4)$
Answer
  1. $\big[4,\infty\big)$

Solution:

$\text{f(x)}=\sqrt{\text{x}-3-2\sqrt{\text{x}-4}}-\sqrt{\text{x}-3+2\sqrt{\text{x}-4}}$

For f(x) to be defined, $\text{x}-4\geq0$ 

$\Rightarrow\text{x}-4\geq0$

$\Rightarrow\text{x}\geq4\ ...(\text{i})$

Also, $\text{x}-3-2\sqrt{\text{x}-4}\geq0$

$\Rightarrow\text{x}-3-2\sqrt{\text{x}-4}\geq0$

$\Rightarrow\text{x}-3\geq2\sqrt{\text{x}-4}$

$\Rightarrow(\text{x}-3)^2\geq\big(2\sqrt{\text{x}-4}\big)^2$

$\Rightarrow\text{x}^2+9-6\text{x}\geq4(\text{x}-4)$

$\Rightarrow\text{x}^2-10\text{x}+25\geq0$

$\Rightarrow\big(\text{x}-5\big)^2\geq0,$ which is always true.

Similarly, $\text{x}-3+2\sqrt{\text{x}-4}\geq0$ is always true.

Thus, domain $(\text{f(x)})=\big[4,\infty)$

Question 111 Mark
If f : R → R and g : R → R are defined by f(x) = 2x + 3 and g(x) = x2 + 7, then the values of x such that g(f(x)) = 8 are:
  1. 1, 2
  2. -1, 2
  3. -1, -2
  4. 1, -2
Answer
  1. -1, -2

Solution:

f(x) = 2x + 3 and g(x) = x2 + 7

g(f(x)) = 8

⇒ (f(x))2 + 7 = 8

⇒ (2x + 3)2 + 7 = 8

⇒ x2 + 3x + 2 = 0

⇒ (x + 2)(x + 1) = 0

⇒ x = -1, -2

Which one of the following is not a function?
  1. $\{(\text{x, y}):\text{x},\text{ y}\in\text{R},\text{x}^2=\text{y}\}$
  2. $\{(\text{x, y}):\text{x},\text{ y}\in\text{R},\text{y}^2=\text{x}\}$
  3. $\{(\text{x, y}):\text{x},\text{ y}\in\text{R},\text{x}^2=\text{y}^3\}$
  4. $\{(\text{x, y}):\text{x},\text{y}\in\text{R},\text{y}=\text{x}^3\}$
Answer
  1. $\{(\text{x, y}):\text{x},\text{ y}\in\text{R},\text{y}^2=\text{x}\}$

Solution:

y2 = x gives two values of y for a value of x

i.e. there are two images for a value of x.

For example: (2)2 = 4 and (-2)2 = 4

Thus, it is not a function.

Question 131 Mark
If $\text{f(x)}=\log\Big(\frac{1+\text{x}}{1-\text{x}}\Big)$ and $\text{g(x)}=\frac{3\text{x}+\text{x}^3}{1+3\text{x}^2},$ then f(g(x)) is equal to:
  1. f(3x)
  2. {f(x)}3
  3. 3f(x)
  4. -f(x)
Answer
  1. 3f(x)

Solution:

$\text{f(x)}=\log\Big(\frac{1+\text{x}}{1-\text{x}}\Big)$ and $\text{g(x)}=\frac{3\text{x}+\text{x}^3}{1+3\text{x}^2}$

Now,

$\frac{1+\text{g(x)}}{1-\text{g(x)}}=\frac{1+\frac{3\text{x}+\text{x}^3}{1+3\text{x}^2}}{1-\frac{3\text{x}+\text{x}^3}{1+3\text{x}^2}}$

$=\frac{1+3\text{x}^2+3\text{x}+\text{x}^3}{1+3\text{x}^2-3\text{x}-\text{x}^3}$

$=\frac{(1+\text{x})^3}{(1-\text{x})^3}$

Then, $\text{f}(\text{g(x)})=\log=\log\Big(\frac{1+\text{g(x)}}{1-\text{g(x)}}\Big)$

$=\log\Big(\frac{1+\text{x}}{1-\text{x}}\Big)^3$

$=3\text{f}(\text{x})$

Solution:

Given,

$\text{f(x)}=\begin{cases}-1,&\text{for}-2\leq\text{x}\leq0\\\text{x}-1,&\text{for }0\leq\text{x}\leq2\end{cases}$

We know,

$|\text{x}|\geq0$

$\Rightarrow\text{f(|x|)}=|\text{x}|-1\ ...(\text{i})$

Also,

If $\text{x}\leq0,$ then $|\text{x}|=-\text{x}\ ...(\text{ii})$

$\{\text{x}\in[-2,2]:\text{x}\leq0\text{ and }\text{f}(\text{|x|})=\text{x}\}$​​​​​​​

$=\{\text{x}:|\text{x}|-1=\text{x}\}$ [Using(i)]

$=\{\text{x}:-\text{x}-1=\text{x}\}$ [Using (ii)]

$=\Big\{\text{x}:2\text{x}=\frac{-1}{2}\Big\}$

$=\Big\{\text{x}:\text{x}=\frac{-1}{2}\Big\}$

$=\Big\{-\frac{1}{2}\Big\}$

Question 151 Mark
The range of the function $\text{f(x)}=\frac{\text{x}}{|\text{x}|}$ is:
  1. R - {0}
  2. R - {-1, 1}
  3. {-1, 1}
  4. None of these.
Answer
  1. {-1, 1}

Solution:

$\text{f(x)}=\frac{\text{x}}{|\text{x}|}$

Let $\text{y}=​​\frac{\text{x}}{|\text{x}|}$

For x > 0, |x| = x

$\Rightarrow\text{y}=\frac{\text{x}}{\text{x}}=1$

For x < 0, = -x

$\Rightarrow\text{y}=\frac{\text{x}}{-\text{x}}=-1$

Thus, range of f(x) is {-1, 1}

Question 161 Mark
The range of $\text{f(x)}=\cos[\text{x}],$ for $-\frac{\pi}{2}<\text{x}<\frac{\pi}{2}$ is:
  1. $\{-1,1,0\}$
  2. $\{\cos1,\cos2,1\}$
  3. $\{\cos1,-\cos1,1\}$
  4. $[-1,1]$
Answer
  1. $\{\cos1,\cos2,1\}$

Solution:

Since, $\text{f(x)}=\cos[\text{x}],$ where $\frac{-\pi}{2}<\text{x}<\frac{\pi}{2}$

$-\frac{\pi}{2}<\text{x}<\frac{\pi}{2}$

$\Rightarrow-1.57<\text{x}<1.57$

$\Rightarrow[\text{x}]\ \in\ \{-1,0,1,2\}$

Thus, $\cos[\text{x}]=\{\cos(-1),\cos0,\cos1,\cos2\}$

Range of $\text{f(x)}=\{\cos1,1,\cos2\}$

Question 171 Mark
Let A = {1, 2, 3} and B = {2, 3, 4}. Then which of the following is a function from A to B?
  1. {(1, 2), (1, 3), (2, 3), (3, 3)}
  2. {(1, 3), (2, 4)}
  3. {(1, 3), (2, 2), (3, 3)}
  4. {(1, 2), (2, 3), (3, 2), (3, 4)}
Answer
  1. {(1, 3), (2, 2), (3, 3)}

Solution:

We have,

R = {(1, 3), (2, 2), (3, 3)}

We observe that each element of the given set has appeared as first component in one and only one ordered pair of R.

So, R = {(1, 3), (2, 2), (3, 3)} is a function.

Question 181 Mark
If $\text{f(x)}=\cos(\log\text{x}),$ then the value of $\text{f(x})\text{f}(\text{y})-\frac{1}{2}\Big\{\text{f}\Big(\frac{\text{x}}{\text{y}}\Big)+\text{f}\big(\text{x}\text{y}\big)\Big\}$ is:
  1. -1
  2. $\frac{1}{2}$
  3. -2
  4. None of these.
Answer
  1. None of these.

Solution:

Given,

$\text{f(x)}=\cos(\log\text{x})$

$\therefore\ \text{f(y)}=\cos(\log\text{y})$

Now,

$\text{f}\Big(\frac{\text{x}}{\text{y}}\Big)=\cos\Big(\cos\Big(\frac{\text{x}}{\text{y}}\Big)\Big)=\cos(\log\text{x}-\log\text{y})$

and

$\text{f(xy)}=\cos(\log\text{xy})=\cos(\log\text{x}+\log\text{y})$

$\Rightarrow\text{f}\Big(\frac{\text{x}}{\text{y}}\Big)+\text{f(xy)}=\cos(\log\text{x}-\log\text{y})+\cos(\log\text{x}+\log\text{y})$

$\Rightarrow\text{f}\Big(\frac{\text{x}}{\text{y}}\Big)+\text{f(xy)}=2\cos(\log\text{x})\cos(\log\text{y})$

$\Rightarrow\frac{1}{2}\Big[\text{f}\Big(\frac{\text{x}}{\text{y}}\Big)+\text{f(xy)}\Big]=\cos(\log\text{x})\cos(\log\text{y})$

$\Rightarrow\text{f(x})\text{f}(\text{y})-\frac{1}{2}\Big\{\text{f}\Big(\frac{\text{x}}{\text{y}}\Big)+\text{f}\big(\text{x}\text{y}\big)\Big\}\\=\cos(\log\text{x})\cos(\log\text{y})-\cos(\log\text{x})\cos(\log\text{y})=0$

Question 191 Mark
If $2\text{f(x)}-3\text{f}\Big(\frac{1}{\text{x}}\Big)=\text{x}^2(\text{x}\neq0),$ then f(2) is equal to:
  1. $-\frac{7}{4}$
  2. $\frac{5}{2}$
  3. $-1$
  4. None of these.
Answer
  1. $-\frac{7}{4}$

Solution:

$2\text{f(x)}-3\text{f}\Big(\frac{1}{\text{x}}\Big)=\text{x}^2\ ...(\text{i})$ $(\text{x}\neq0)$

Replacing x by $\frac{1}{\text{x}}$

$2\text{f}\Big(\frac{1}{\text{x}}\Big)-3\text{f(x)}=\frac{1}{\text{x}^2}\ ...(\text{ii})$

Solving equations (i) & (ii)

$-5\text{f(x)}=\frac{3}{\text{x}^2}+2\text{x}^2$

$\Rightarrow\text{f(x)}=\frac{-1}{5}\Big(\frac{3}{\text{x}^2}+2\text{x}^2\Big)$

Thus, $\text{f(2)}=\frac{-1}{5}\Big(\frac{3}{4}+2\times4\Big)$

$=\frac{-1}{5}\Big(\frac{3+32}{4}\Big)$

$=-\frac{7}{4}$

  4. $\frac{1}{4}\big[\text{f(2}\text{x})-\text{f}(2\text{y})\big]$
Answer
  1. $\frac{1}{2}\big[\text{f(2}\text{x})+\text{f}(2\text{y})\big]$

Solution:

Given,

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

Now,

$\Rightarrow\ \text{f}(\text{x}+\text{y})\text{f}(\text{x}-\text{y})=\frac{1}{4}\big(2^{2\text{x}}+2^{-2\text{y}}+2^{2\text{y}}+2^{-2\text{x}}\big)$

$\Rightarrow\ \text{f}(\text{x}+\text{y})\text{f}(\text{x}-\text{y})=\frac{1}{2}\Big(\frac{2^{2\text{x}}+2^{-2\text{x}}}{2}+\frac{2^{2\text{y}}+2^{-2\text{y}}}{2}\Big)$

$\Rightarrow\text{f}(\text{x}+\text{y})\text{f}(\text{x}-\text{y})=\frac{1}{2}\big[\text{f}(2\text{x})+\text{f}(2\text{y})\big]$

$\Rightarrow\big[\text{x}\big]\big([\text{x}]-3\big)-2\big([\text{x]}-3\big)=0$

$\Rightarrow\big([\text{x}]-2)\big([\text{x}]-3)=0$

$\Rightarrow\big[\text{x}\big]-2=0$ or $[\text{x}]-3=0$

$\Rightarrow[\text{x}]=2$ or $[\text{x}]=3$

$\Rightarrow\text{x}\in\big[2,3\big)$ or $\big[3,4\big)$

Then, $\text{f}\Big(\frac{2\text{x}}{1+\text{x}^2}\Big)=\log\Bigg(\frac{1+\frac{2\text{x}}{1+\text{x}^2}}{1-\frac{2\text{x}}{1+\text{x}^2}}\Bigg)$

$=\log\Bigg(\frac{\frac{1+\text{x}^2+2\text{x}}{1+\text{x}^2}}{1-\frac{2\text{x}}{1+\text{x}^2}}\Bigg)$

$=\log\bigg(\frac{(1+\text{x})^2}{(1-\text{x})^2}\bigg)$

$=2\log\Big(\frac{1+\text{x}}{1-\text{x}}\Big)$

$=2(\text{f(x)})$

Question 231 Mark
The range of the function $\text{f(x)}=\frac{\text{x}+2}{|\text{x}+2|},\text{ x}\neq-2$ is:
  1. {-1, 1}
  2. {-1, 0, 1}
  3. {1}
  4. $(0,\infty)$
Answer
  1. {-1, 1}

Solution:

$\text{f(x)}=\frac{\text{x}+2}{|\text{x}+2|},\text{ x}\neq-2$

Let $\text{y}=\frac{\text{x}+2}{|\text{x}+2|}$

For |x + 2| > 0

Or x > -2

$\text{y}=\frac{\text{x}+2}{\text{x}+2}=1$

For |x + 2| < 0

Or x < -2

$\text{y}=\frac{\text{x}+2}{-(\text{x}+2)}=-1$

Thus, y = {-1, 1}

Or range f(x) = {-1, 1}

Question 251 Mark
If $3\text{f(x)}+5\text{f}\Big(\frac{1}{\text{x}}\Big)=\frac{1}{\text{x}}-3$ for all non-zero x, then f(x) =
  1. $\frac{1}{14}\Big(\frac{3}{\text{x}}+5\text{x}-6\Big)$
  2. $\frac{1}{14}\Big(-\frac{3}{\text{x}}+5\text{x}-6\Big)$
  3. $\frac{1}{14}\Big(-\frac{3}{\text{x}}+5\text{x}+6\Big)$
  4. None os these.
Answer
  1. None os these.

Solution:

$3\text{f(x)}+5\text{f}\Big(\frac{1}{\text{x}}\Big)=\frac{1}{\text{x}}-3\ ...(\text{i})$

Multiplying (1) by 3,

$15\text{f}\Big(\frac{1}{\text{x}}\Big)+9\text{f(x)}=\frac{3}{\text{x}}-9\ ...(\text{ii})$

Replacing x by $\frac{1}{\text{x}}$ in (i)

$3\text{f}\Big(\frac{1}{\text{x}}\Big)+5\text{f(x)}=\text{x}-3$

Multiplying by 5

$15\text{f}\Big(\frac{1}{\text{x}}\Big)+25\text{f(x)}=5\text{x}-15\ ...(\text{iii})$

Solving (ii) and (iii),

$-16\text{f(x)}=\frac{3}{\text{x}}-5\text{x}+6$

$\Rightarrow\text{f(x)}=\frac{1}{16}\Big(-\frac{3}{\text{x}}+5\text{x}-6\Big)$

Question 261 Mark
The function f : R → R is defined by $\text{f(x)}=\cos^2\text{x}+\sin^4\text{x}.$ Then, f(R) =
  1. $\Big[\frac{3}{4},1\Big]$
  2. $\Big(\frac{3}{4},1\Big]$
  3. $\Big[\frac{3}{4},1\Big]$
  4. $\Big(\frac{3}{4},1\Big)$
Answer
  1. $\Big[\frac{3}{4},1\Big]$

Solution:

Given,

$\text{f(x)}=\cos^2\text{x}+\sin^4\text{x}$

$\Rightarrow\text{f(x)}=1-\sin^2\text{x}+\sin^4\text{x}$

$\Rightarrow\text{f(x)}=\Big(\sin^2\text{x}-\frac{1}{2}\Big)^2+\frac{3}{4}$

The minimum value of $\text{f(x)}$ is $\frac{3}{4}$

Also,

$\sin^2\text{x}\leq1$

$\Rightarrow\ \sin^2\text{x}-\frac{1}{2}\leq\frac{1}{2}$

$\Rightarrow\ \Big(\sin^2\text{x}-\frac{1}{2}\Big)^2\leq\frac{1}{4}$

$\Rightarrow\ \Big(\sin^2\text{x}-\frac{1}{2}\Big)^2+\frac{3}{4}\leq\frac{1}{4}+\frac{3}{4}$

$\Rightarrow\ \text{f(x)}\leq1$

The maximum value of f(x) is 1

$\therefore\ \text{f(R)}=\Big(\frac{3}{4},1\Big)$

Question 271 Mark
If $\text{f(x)}=64\text{x}^3+\frac{1}{\text{x}^3}$ and $\alpha,\beta$ are the roots of $4\text{x}+\frac{1}{\text{x}}=3.$ Then,
  1. $\text{f}(\alpha)=\text{f}(\beta)=-9$
  2. $\text{f}(\alpha)=\text{f}(\beta)=63$
  3. $\text{f}(\alpha)\neq\text{f}(\beta)$
  4. None of these.
Answer
  1. $\text{f}(\alpha)=\text{f}(\beta)=-9$

Solution:

$\text{f(x)}=64\text{x}^3+\frac{1}{\text{x}^3}$

$\Rightarrow\text{f(x)}=\Big(4\text{x}+\frac{1}{\text{x}}\Big)\Big(16\text{x}^2+\frac{1}{\text{x}^2}-4\Big)$

$\Rightarrow\text{f(x)}=\Big(4\text{x}+\frac{1}{\text{x}}\Big)\Big(\Big(4\text{x}+\frac{1}{\text{x}}\Big)^2-12\Big)$

$\Rightarrow\text{f}(\text{a})=\Big(4\alpha+\frac{1}{\alpha}\Big)\Big(\Big(4\alpha+\frac{1}{\alpha}\Big)^2-12\Big)$ and $\text{f}(\beta)=\Big(4\beta+\frac{1}{\beta}\Big)\Big(\Big(4\beta+\frac{1}{\beta}\Big)^2-12\Big)$

Since $\alpha$ and $\beta$ are the roots of $4\text{x}+\frac{1}{\text{x}}=3,$

$4\alpha+\frac{1}{\alpha}=3$ and $4\beta+\frac{1}{\beta}=3$

$\Rightarrow\text{f}(\alpha)=3\big((3)^2-12\big)=-9$ and $\text{f}(\beta)=3\big((3)^2-12\big)=-9$

$\Rightarrow\text{f}(\alpha)=\text{f}(\beta)=-9$

  2. $\big[-3,-2\big]\cup\big[2,3\big) $
  3. $\big[-3,-2\big]\cup\big[2,3\big] $
  4. None os these.
Answer
  1. $\big[-3,-2\big]\cup\big[2,3\big] $

Solution:

$\text{f(x)}=\sqrt{5|\text{x}|-\text{x}^2-16}$

For f(x) to be defined, $5|\text{x}|-\text{x}^2-6\geq0$

$\Rightarrow5|\text{x}|-\text{x}^2-6\geq0$

$\Rightarrow\text{x}^2-5|\text{x}|+6\leq0$

For x > 0, |x| = x

$\Rightarrow\text{x}^2-5\text{x}+6\leq0$

$\Rightarrow(\text{x}-2)(\text{x}-3)\leq0$

$\Rightarrow\text{x}\in[2,3]\ ...(\text{i})$

For x < 0, |x| = -x

$\Rightarrow\text{x}^2+5\text{x}+6\leq0$

$\Rightarrow(\text{x}+2)(\text{x}+3)\leq0$

$\Rightarrow\text{x}\in\big[-3,-2\big]\ ...(\text{ii})$

From (i) and (ii),

$\text{x}\in\big[-3,-2\big]\cup\big[2,3\big]$

Or, $\text{domain(f)}=\big[-3,-2\big]\cup\big[2,3\big]$

  1. $\text{f}(\alpha)\neq\text{f}(\beta)$
  2. $\text{f}(\alpha)=10$
  3. $\text{f}(\beta)=-10$
  4. None of these.
Answer
  1. None of these.

Solution:

$\text{f(x)}=27\text{x}^3+\frac{1}{\text{x}^3}$

$\Rightarrow\text{f(x)}=\Big(3\text{x}+\frac{1}{\text{x}}\Big)\Big(9\text{x}^2+\frac{1}{\text{x}^2}-3\Big)$

$\Rightarrow\text{f(x)}=\Big(3\text{x}+\frac{1}{\text{x}}\Big)\Big(\Big(3\text{x}+\frac{1}{\text{x}}\Big)^2-9\Big)$

$\Rightarrow\text{f}(\alpha)=\Big(3\alpha+\frac{1}{\alpha}\Big)\Big(\Big(3\alpha+\frac{1}{\alpha}\Big)^2-9\Big)$

Since $\alpha$ and $\beta$ are the roots of $3\text{x}+\frac{1}{\text{x}}=12,$

$3\alpha+\frac{1}{\alpha}=12$ and $3\beta+\frac{1}{\beta}=12$

$\Rightarrow\text{f}(\alpha)=12\big((12)^2-9\big)$ and $\text{f}(\beta)=12\big((12)^2-9\big)$

$\Rightarrow\text{f}(\alpha)=\text{f}(\beta)=\big((12)^2-9\big)$

  2. $(-1,2)\cap[3,\infty)$
  3. $[-1,2]\cap[3,\infty]$
  4. None of these.
Answer
  1. $\big[-1,2\big)\cap\big[3,\infty\big)$

Solution:

$\text{f(x)}=\sqrt{\frac{(\text{x}+1)(\text{x}-3)}{\text{x}-2}}$

For f(x) to be defined,

$(\text{x}-2)\neq0$

$\Rightarrow\text{x}\neq2\ ...(\text{i})$

Also,

$\frac{(\text{x}+1)(\text{x}-3)}{\text{x}-2}\geq0$

$\Rightarrow\frac{(\text{x}+1)(\text{x}-3)(\text{x}-2)}{(\text{x}-2)^2}\geq0$

$\Rightarrow(\text{x}+1)(\text{x}-3)(\text{x}-2)\geq0$

$\Rightarrow\text{x}\in\big[-1,2\big)\cup\big[3,\infty\big)\ ...(\text{ii})$

From (i) and (ii),

Let $\text{f(x)}=\sqrt{\text{x}^2+1}$ Then which of the following is correct?
  1. $\text{f(xy)}=\text{f(x)}\text{f(y)}$
  2. $\text{f(xy)}\geq\text{f(x)}\text{f(y)}$
  3. $\text{f(xy)}\leq\text{f(x)}\text{f(y)}$
  4. None os these.
Answer
  1. $\text{f(xy)}\leq\text{f(x)}\text{f(y)}$

Solution:

Given, $\text{f(x)}=\sqrt{\text{x}^2+1}\ ...(\text{i})$

Replacing x by y in (i), we get

$\text{f(y)}=\sqrt{\text{y}^2+1}$

$\therefore\ \text{f(x)}\text{f(y)}=\sqrt{\text{x}^2+1}\sqrt{\text{y}^2+1}$

$=\sqrt{(\text{x}^2+1)(\text{y}^2+1)}$

$=\sqrt{\text{x}^2\text{y}^2+\text{x}^2+\text{y}^2+1}$

Also, replacing x by xy in (i), we get

$\text{f(xy)}=\sqrt{\text{x}^2\text{y}^2+1}$

Now,

$\text{x}^2\text{y}^2+1\leq\text{x}^2\text{y}^2+\text{x}^2+\text{y}^2+1$

$\Rightarrow\sqrt{\text{x}^2\text{y}^2+1}\leq\sqrt{\text{x}^2\text{y}^2+\text{x}^2+\text{y}^2+1}$

$\Rightarrow\text{f}(\text{xy})\leq\text{f(x)}\text{f(y)}$

  1. -2
  2. -1
  3. $\frac{1}{2}$
  4. None of these.
Answer
  1. None of these.

Solution:

Given,

$\text{f(x)}=\cos(\log\text{x})$

$\Rightarrow\ \text{f(x}^2)=\cos(\log(\text{x}^2))$

$\Rightarrow\ \text{f(x}^2)=\cos(2\log(\text{x}))$

Similarly,

$\text{f}(\text{y}^2)=\cos(2\log(\text{y}))$

Now,

$\text{f}\Big(\frac{\text{x}^2}{\text{y}^2}\Big)=\cos\Big(\log\Big(\frac{\text{x}^2}{\text{y}^2}\Big)\Big)=\cos\big(\log\text{x}^2-\log\text{y}^2\big)$

and $\text{f}(\text{x}^2\text{y}^2)=\cos(\log\text{x}^2\text{y}^2)=\cos\big(\log\text{x}^2+\log\text{y}^2\big)$

$\Rightarrow\ \text{f}\Big(\frac{\text{x}^2}{\text{y}^2}\Big)+\text{f}(\text{x}^2\text{y}^2)=\cos\big((2\log\text{x}-2\log\text{y})\big)+\cos\big((2\log\text{x}-2\log\text{y})\big)$

$\Rightarrow\ \text{f}\Big(\frac{\text{x}^2}{\text{y}^2}\Big)+\text{f}(\text{x}^2\text{y}^2)=2\cos(2\log\text{x})\cos(2\log\text{y})$

$\Rightarrow\frac{1}{2}\bigg[\Big(\text{f}\Big(\frac{\text{x}^2}{\text{y}^2}\Big)+\text{f}(\text{x}^2\text{y}^2)\bigg]=\cos(2\log)\cos(2\log\text{y})$

$\Rightarrow\ \text{f(x}^2)\text{f}(\text{y}^2)-\frac{1}{2}\Big\{\text{f}\Big(\frac{\text{x}^2}{\text{y}^2}\Big)+\text{f}\big(\text{x}^2\text{y}^2\big)\Big\}\\\ =\cos(2\log)\cos(2\log\text{y})-\cos(2\log)\cos(2\log\text{y})=0$

Question 331 Mark
If f : Q → Q is defined as f(x) = x2, then f-1(9) is equal to:
  1. 3
  2. -3
  3. {-3, 3}
  4. $\phi$
Answer
  1. {-3, 3}

Solution:

If f : A → B, such that $\text{y}\in\text{B},$ then $\text{f}^{-1}(\text{y})=\{\text{x}\in\text{A}:\text{f(x)}=\text{y}\}$

In other words, f-1{y} is the set of pre-images of y.

Let $\text{f}^{-1}\{9\}=\text{x}$

Then, $\text{f(x)}=9$

$\Rightarrow\text{x}^2=9$

$\Rightarrow\text{x}=\pm3$

$\therefore\ \text{f}^{-1}\{9\}=\{-3,3\}$

The domain of definition of the function $\text{f(x)}=\log|\text{x}|$ is:
  1. $\text{R}$
  2. $\big(-\infty,0\big)$
  3. $(0,\infty)$
  4. $\text{R}-\{0\}$
Answer
  1. $\text{R}-\{0\}$

Solution:

$\text{f(x)}=\log|\text{x}|$

For f(x) to be defined,

$|\text{x}|>0,$ which is always true.

But $|\text{x}|\neq0$

$\Rightarrow\text{x}\neq0$

Thus, $\text{domain(f)}=\text{R}-\{0\}$

  2. $\text{f}(\pi)=2$
  3. $\text{f}\Big(\frac{\pi}{4}\Big)=-1$
  4. None of these.
Answer
  1. $\text{f}\Big(\frac{\pi}{2}\Big)=1$

Solution:

$\text{f(x)}=\sin[\pi^2]\text{x}+\sin[-\pi^2]\text{x}$

$\Rightarrow\text{f(x)}=\sin\big[9.8\big]\text{x}+\sin\big[-9.8\big]\text{x}$

$\Rightarrow\text{f(x)}=\sin9\text{x}-\sin10\text{x}$

$\Rightarrow\text{f}\Big(\frac{\pi}{2}\Big)=\sin9\times\frac{\pi}{2}-\sin10\times\frac{\pi}{2}$

$\Rightarrow\text{f}\Big(\frac{\pi}{2}\Big)=1-0=1$

  1. 1
  2. 2
  3. 3

Answer
  1. 1

Solution:

Given,

$\text{f(x)}=\frac{\sin^{4}\text{x}+\cos^2\text{x}}{\sin^2\text{x}+\cos^4\text{x}}$

On dividing the numerator and denominator by $\cos^4\text{x},$ we get

$\text{f(x)}=\frac{\tan^4\text{x}+\sec^2\text{x}}{1+\tan^2\text{x}\sec^2\text{x}}$

$=\frac{1+\tan^4\text{x}+\tan^2\text{x}}{1+\tan^2\text{x}(1+\tan^2\text{x})}$

$=\frac{1+\tan^{4}\text{x}+\tan^{2}\text{x}}{1+\tan^{4}\text{x}+\tan^{2}\text{x}}=1$ $(\text{For every x}\in\text{R})$

  4. $[0,4]$
Answer
  1. $[0,4]$

Solution:

$\text{f(x)}=\sqrt{4\text{x}-\text{x}^2}$

Clearly, f(x) assumes real values if

$4\text{x}-\text{x}^2\geq0$

$\Rightarrow\text{x}(4-\text{x})\geq0$

$\Rightarrow-\text{x}(\text{x}-4)\geq0$

$\Rightarrow\text{x}(\text{x}-4)\leq0$

  4. $\Big[-\frac{1}{3},1\Big]$
Answer
  1. $\Big[-1,\frac{1}{3}\Big]$

Solution:

We know that $-1\leq\cos\text{x}\leq1$ for all $\text{x}\in\text{R}$

Now,

$-1\leq\cos\text{x}\leq1$

$\Rightarrow-1\leq\cos\text{x}\leq1$

$\Rightarrow-2\leq-2\cos\text{x}\leq2$

$\Rightarrow-1\leq1-2\cos\text{x}\leq3$ (Adding 1 ro each term)

But,

$\cos\text{x}\neq\frac{1}{2}$

$\Rightarrow1-2\cos\text{x}\in\big[-1,3\big]-\{0\}$

Answer
  1. None of these.

Solution:

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

Since, $|\text{x}^2-1|\neq|\text{x}-1|^2$

$\text{f(x)}^2\neq(\text{f(x)})^2$

Thus, (i) is wrong.

Since, $|\text{x}+\text{y}-1|\neq|\text{x}-1||\text{y}-1|$

$\text{f}(\text{x}+\text{y})\neq\text{f(x)}\text{f(y)}$

Thus, (ii) is wrong.

Since, $|\text{|x|}-1\neq||\text{x}-1||=|\text{x}-1|$

$\text{f(|x|)}\neq|\text{f(x)}|$

Thus, (iii) is wrong.

Hence, none of the given options is the answer.

  2. f(x) + f(1 - x) = 0
  3. f(x) + f(1 - x) = 1
  4. f(x) + f(x - 1) = 1
Answer
  1. f(x) + f(1 - x) = 1

If $\text{f(x)}=\cos(\log_\text{e}),$ then $\text{f}\Big(\frac{1}{\text{x}}\Big)\text{f}\Big(\frac{1}{\text{y}}\Big)-\frac{1}{2}\Big\{\text{f(xy)}+\text{f}\Big(\frac{\text{x}}{\text{y}}\Big)\Big\}$ is equal to:
  1. $\cos(\text{x}-\text{y})$
  2. $\log(\cos(\text{x}-\text{y}))$
  3. $1$
  4. $\cos(\text{x}+\text{y})$
Answer
  1. $\cos(\text{x}+\text{y})$

Solution:

$\text{f(x)}=\cos(\log_\text{e}\text{x})$

$\Rightarrow\text{f}\Big(\frac{1}{\text{x}}\Big)=\cos\Big(\log_\text{e}\Big(\frac{1}{\text{x}}\Big)\Big)$

$\Rightarrow\text{f}\Big(\frac{1}{\text{x}}\Big)=\cos\Big(-\log_\text{e}(\text{x})\Big)$

$\Rightarrow\text{f}\Big(\frac{1}{\text{x}}\Big)=\cos\Big(\log_\text{e}(\text{x})\Big)$

Similarly,

$\text{f}\Big(\frac{1}{\text{y}}\Big)=\cos(\log_\text{e}\text{y})$

Now,

$\text{f(xy)}=\cos(\log_\text{e}\text{xy})=\cos\big(\log_\text{e}\text{x}+\log_\text{e}\text{y}\big)$

and

$\text{f}\Big(\frac{\text{x}}{\text{y}}\Big)=\cos\Big(\log_\text{e}\frac{\text{x}}{\text{y}}\Big)=\cos\big(\log_\text{e}\text{x}-\log_\text{e}\text{y}\big)$

$\Rightarrow\text{f}\Big(\frac{\text{x}}{\text{y}}\Big)+\text{f(xy)}=\cos\big(\log_\text{e}\text{x}+\log_\text{e}\text{y}\big)+\cos\big(\log_\text{e}\text{x}-\log_\text{e}\text{y}\big)$

$\Rightarrow\text{f}\Big(\frac{\text{x}}{\text{y}}\Big)+\text{f(xy)}=2\cos\big(\log_\text{e}\text{x}\big)\cos(\log_\text{e}\text{y})$

$\Rightarrow\frac{1}{2}\Big[\text{f}\Big(\frac{\text{x}}{\text{y}}\Big)+\text{f(xy)}\Big]=\cos\big(\log_\text{e}\text{x}\big)\cos\big(\log_\text{e}\text{y}\big)$

$\Rightarrow\text{f}\Big(\frac{1}{\text{x}}\Big)\text{f}\Big(\frac{1}{\text{y}}\Big)-\frac{1}{2}\Big\{\text{f(xy)}+\text{f}\Big(\frac{\text{x}}{\text{y}}\Big)\Big\}=\cos\big(\log_\text{e}\text{x}\big)\cos\big(\log_\text{e}\text{y}\big)\\\ \ -\cos\big(\log_\text{e}\text{x}\big)\cos\big(\log_\text{e}\text{y}\big)=0$

Question 441 Mark
Let $\text{A}=\{\text{x}\in\text{R}:\text{x}\neq0-4\leq\text{x}\leq4\}$ and $\text{f}:\text{A}\in\text{R}$ be defined by $\text{f(x)}=\frac{|\text{x}|}{\text{x}}$ for $\text{x}\in\text{A}$ Then A:
  1. $[1,-1]$
  2. $\big[\text{x}:0\leq\text{x}\leq4\big]$
  3. $\{1\}$
  4. $\{\text{x}:-4\leq\text{x}\leq0\}$
Answer
  1. [1, -1]

Solution:

As, $\text{|x|}=\begin{cases}\text{x},\ \text{x}\geq0\\-\text{x}<0\end{cases}$

So, $\text{f(x)}=\frac{\text{x}}{|\text{x}|}$

When, $\text{x}<0\text{ i.e.,}\text{ x}\in\big[-4,0\big)$

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

and when, $\text{x}>0\text{ i.e., x}\in\big(0,4\big]$

$\text{f(x)}=\frac{\text{x}}{\text{x}}=1$

So, range $\text{f}=\{-1,1\}$

Question 451 Mark
 Let f(x) = x, $\text{g(x)}=\frac{1}{\text{x}}$ and h(x) = f(x) g(x). Then, h(x) = 1

  1. $\text{x}\in\text{R}$

  2. $\text{x}\in\text{Q}$

  3. $\text{x}\in\text{R}-\text{Q}$

  4. $\text{x}\in\text{R},\text{ x}\neq0$ 

Answer
  1. $\text{x}\in\text{R},\text{ x}\neq0$

Solution:

Given,

$\text{f(x)}=\text{x},\text{ g(x)}=\frac{1}{\text{x}}$ and $\text{h(x)}=\text{f(x)}\text{g(x)}$

Now,

$\text{h(x)}=\text{x}\times\frac{1}{\text{x}}=1$

We observe that the domain of f is R and the domain of g is R - {0}

$\therefore\ \text{Domain of h}=\text{Domain of f }\cap\text{ Domain of g}\\\ \ \ =\text{R }\cap\big[\text{R}-\{0\}\big]=\text{R}-\{0\}$

$\Rightarrow\text{x}\in\text{R},\text{ x}\neq0$
