functions

ques 1. Number of points where y=log(ax2+2b|x|+c) x2 is not defined where b2=ac and b<0 and c>1 are? ques 2. If f(x)=2x+|x|, g(x)=1/3(2x-|x|) and h(x)=f(g(x)), then the domain of sin-1(h(h(h(........h(h(x).....))) is? (n times)

ax2+2bx+c

discriminant is given by b2-ac

so D=0

so the roots are |x|=-b/a

(|x|+b/a)2

which is positive adn not defined only when |x|=- b/a = -c

ax2+2bx+c is never equal to 1 . (why/???) Not a very tough proof.. just think it out!

Also now find the points where log(x2) is nto defined.. (only at x=0)

So the answer I think should be 1 point namely x=0

If f(x)=2x+|x|, g(x)=1/3(2x-|x|) and h(x)=f(g(x)),
the domain of sin-1(h(h(h(........h(h(x).....))) is? (n times)

when x>0

g(x) = 1/3 x (which is again greater than zero)

Thus f(g(x)) = 2/3x+1/3 x =x

also if x<0, then g(x) = x
f(g(x)) = 2x-x = x

h(x)=x for all x

domain of the above function is given by domain of

sin -1x

byah

ax2+2bx+c is never equal to 1 . (why/???) Not a very tough proof.. just think it out!

the abv fact is wrong :(

a is obviously <0 and f(0) = c>1 and its a part inverted parabola facing down y axis

also D is not 0 as b=ac and not b2 =ac

but i feel rupals q is wrong as it doesnt make sense when b = ac instead of b2=ac

sorry celestine...

i messsed it a bit..

even i solved it assuming b2=ac

i guess i have made more mistakes in the last 2 months than my entire JEE preparations :(

sir 2nd one is correct of urs
and 4 the 1st question to make ny sense it has to be b^2=ac

ans of 1st ques is 7

yes mani u r right it should have been b2=ac
m sry...

ax2+2b|x|+c this will never have real roots..
but we are given the condition that b2=ac

look closely Rupal now

y=log(ax2+2b|x|+c) x2

now we know that the base of log >1 and the x can never be equal to 0 or negative

as x2 is given so only possibility is x=0

POINT 1 : x=0

now we look at (ax2+2b|x|+c)>1
as u said earlier that

b2=ac , b<0 , c>1
we know that the x coordinate of the min value is -b/2a

ax2+2bx +c-1>0

let us take a possibility when a<0

so the min value of the function (-D/4a) will be positive and also the x value

so 2 roots will be here as the the parabola is opening downwards and c>1

now let us take a>0

the min value of the function could be positive or negative depending on the sign of D
if D>0 then we have 2 roots with the parabola opening upwards

now we will get 2 more roots because of the mod sign!!!!!!!!

Hence we get a total of 7 roots
