Q1. Let \begin{Bmatrix} x_{n} \end{Bmatrix} be a sequence of real nos satisfying the recurrence relation

x_{n+1}=\frac{x_{n}\sqrt{3}-1}{\sqrt{3}+x_{n}}, \; n\epsilon N Then the period of the sequence is

got the answer .. but open for practice (ans: 6)

Q2. (MULTI ANSWER)
Let A be a real skew symmetric matrix satisfying A^2+I=0. Then
(a) A is orthogonal
(b) A = [a_{ij}]_{2k \times 2k}, k\epsilon N
(c) A^T = A^{-1}
(d) A must be non-singular

Q3. INTEGER TYPE
Let f and g be two function for which
f(x-y)=f(x)g(y)-f(y)g(x)
g(x-y)=g(x)g(y)+f(x)g(y)

If f'(0^+) exists and f(x) is differentiable at x=0, then g'(0) =

Q4. adding one more though it was not of AIATS .. (source: final test series of Aakash , BBSR)
no. of solutions for
e^x = 2sin(2x), x> 0

Ans 3..f(x) = sinx ... g(x) = cosx

so g'(0) = 0

if u dont want to assume function cos x, sin x

put x=0,
f(0)=f(0)g(0)-f(0)g(0)=0
g(0)=g(0)^2
so g(0)=0 or g(0)=1

diffrentiating wrt x we get
f'(x-y)=f'(x)g(y)-g'(x)f(y)
putting x=y=0 we get f'(0)=0

applying similarly to second eq we get g'(0)=0

Ans for the second one is A B C D .....is it correct??
for the fourth its 2 ...

Avik ·

4) Yes, 2 is right for x>0.

@utd4ever and avik: your answers are correct..

can u provide solution?

for the q4. the graphs getting complicated... and wolfram showed how close the two roots are.. in such cases how do get the no. of roots?

@rickde: thanks

Avik ·

Didn't try to find the roots fr Q4)...Remembered the graph 'coz i had received -1 fr a similar Qn in a test :P

govind ·

Ya i also agree with Asish..i too found it tough to say whether 2 roots exist or 0..plz can someone post some alternative method for this one..

rickde ·

draw the graphs

quite close call............dont expect it in iit

we get A(-A) = I
At is transpose of A
and A is skew symmetric so At=-A

so we get A(At)=I
so A^-1=At and A is orthogonal
as A^-1 exists A is non-singular
n so it will be 2k x 2k matrix

hence a,b,c,d
