Q7 too pending [2]

eureka123 ·

A couple of conditions missed in Q1 to 5..thats why some problem..

ques will be::

let f(x) and g(x) are two distinct functions such that f(x) is an odd function and g(x) is an even function for all X ε R and f'(x)>g'(x) for all x ε R . Let a function h(x)=f(x) +g(x) is an odd function and φ(x)=f(g(x))+g(f(x)).

Now anyone trying ??

2, 4, 6, 8 or 10.. (sorry my mistake) (*Typing and mind not in sync)

UTTARA ·

Nishant Bhaiya the qs says f(mod x) = 0 has 8 non zero real roots

but u posted that it has 2 or 6 or 10 roots???

4
UTTARA ·

I mentioned there multiple answer qs

UTTARA ·

@ Akshay

NO Akshay this is not a part of comprehension

4
UTTARA ·

@Nishant : Qs and Ans is correct Bhaiya

f (x) is never onto so solution set is phi

Akshay Pamnani ·

sorry
0 is not neccesarily a root
it maybe a root though
was this a part of comprehension??
then 0 will be a root definitely
in that equation will have repeated roots

1
Akshay Pamnani ·

Nishant bhaiya
plz can u check Q7
I don think 0 will be a root

1
Akshay Pamnani ·

no real value for sure

62
Lokesh Verma ·

Uttara, can you cross check Q 11 again?

1
Akshay Pamnani ·

zero will not be the root

Akshay Pamnani ·

f(modx) has 5 real roots which is symmetric about Y axis,f(modx) is formed when we make graph of f(x) for x>0 and take it;s image for x<0
so f(x)=0 has 4 positive roots
the equation cannot have only 4 roots and imaguinary roots occur in pairs,so it has 5 roots,of which 4 are positive and one negative
hope u r satisfied

7)A B C

11)D

Lokesh Verma ·

It is given that f(x) is odd, while g(x) is even

also, f+g is odd.. hence3, we can conclude that g is both even and odd

g(x)=-g(-x)
and g(x)=+g(-x)

Thus, g(x) = 0 for all x.. hence g is a constant valued function which is equal to zero

Seeing the options and the questions, I think you have misseed soem information!

UTTARA ·

Thanks So, ANS :

1) D

2)A

3)A

4)B

5)A

g(x)=0
implies g'x=0
so f'x is greater than 0

UTTARA ·

@Akshay : We don't know whether the function is strictly increasing or not ! right!!?

archana anand ·

3) increasin function.

1
Akshay Pamnani ·

so fiex=f(0)=0

1
Akshay Pamnani ·

f(0)=0

1
Akshay Pamnani ·

as f(x) is strictly increasing,implies will cut X axis max once,and definitely it will once as function is odd

1
Akshay Pamnani ·

so wat if it is symmetric about origin,it dosen't mean it will have neccesarily one solution

it may not even have on,or even have many

4
UTTARA ·

SORRY!!!!!!!!

THE INFO I MISSED IS THAT f ' (x) > g ' (x) for all x belongs to R

1
archana anand ·

but den u urself proved dat g(x) is a constant function...and dat is acordin to the question!!!

62
Lokesh Verma ·

NO archana..

look at f(x) = x

and g(x) = |x|

Both one is even one is odd.. but they have infiniite solutions for f(x)=g(x) ...

1
archana anand ·

2. The number of solutions of f(x)= g(x) is
ans..A)1....f(x) an odd function is symmetric bout origin

Lokesh Verma ·

11. Let : R→R be defined by f(x) = (x2 +ax+1)/(x2+x+1). The set of exhaustive values of a such that f(x) is onto is
(a) (-∞,∞) (b) (-∞,0)
(c) (1,∞) (d) φ

You can simplify the given function as 1+ (a-1)xx2+x+1

Which has to be onto... so (a-1)xx2+x+1 is onto R.

hence, (a-1)x+1/x+1 is onto R

Which will never be onto R!!

Have I written your question correctly?
