bhaiya am i wrong ???

arey toh its symmetrical abt y axis naa........

Mani Pal Singh ·

sky ji replace x by -x
u will find that
f(x) - f(-x)=0

is y=|x| symmetrical abt both quadrants [7] [7]

Mani Pal Singh ·

ques is an even function
so symettric about both the quadants[1]

arey none of them will be used...

btw, i got 4 real roots.. sum1 confirm....

Mani Pal Singh ·

k sir will not say anything like this again
but rolle therom and lagrange mean value theorems r to be banked upon na

skygirl ·

there will be 4 real roots.

mani.. dude it makes a lot of sense.. seriously...

Please dont ignore such questions...

if x>0 then it becomes
2x3+3x2-12x+1=0
its roots r x=1.75....,0.085,-3.34 straight 4m Microsoft math

SO THERE R 2 SOLUTIONS 4 IT

if x <0 then eq becomes
-2x3+3x2+12x+1=0
its roots r -0.085,-1.75,3.34 straight 4m Microsoft math

SO ITS ROOTS R ALSO 2

TOTAL NUMBER OF ROOTS OF THIS EQUATION IS 4

BUT DO REMEMBER ME THAT DO NOT WASTE TIME ON THESE TYPE OF PROBLEMS AS SOLUTION OF CUBIC EQUATION IS NOT IN THE SYLLABUS OF IIT JEE

MANIPAL THIS IS TOO MUCH IN THE SYLLABUS !!

TAKE DERIVATIVE...

FIND MAX-MIN ...

CHCEK THE FUNCTION VALUE AT THOSE POINTS...

DRAW THE GRAPH...

SEE AT HOW MANY POINTS IT CUTS THE X-AXIS...

DONE..

skygirl ·

arrey use graph ....

Mani Pal Singh ·

this is a pretty useful info but it will lead to a round about value and not to the exact value
the above post is very essential as rolle theorem is asked in IIT JJEE in variety of forms

but sir this ques in IIT JEE makes no sense
its graph could be made but this will become a long and a lenghty 1 [2]

f(a).f(b) bein -ve implies there exists 'c' such dat f(c) == 0 as the function is continous over (a,b)

Intermediate value therm jaisa hi kuch

Lokesh Verma ·

The roots will lie between a maxima and minima

This information sometimes helps a lot in solving such problems.

How do you use this information..

f(a) x f(b) <0

why think a bit more

Mani Pal Singh ·

SIR I DONT KNOW HOW TO FIND THE 1ST ROOT OF A CUBIC EQUATION
I ALWAYS USE HIT AND TRIAL

PLAESE HELP ME OUT IN THESE TYPE OF PROBLEMS[1]

yup sir is right.........................ignoring everything will put us into trouble becoz JEE is bound to bring surprises to students

Manipal..

something that are not in syllabus but one should know them

I strongly thing that this is one of them.

Please dont ignore these...

SORRY TO REPEAT MYSELF AGAIN

CUBIC FUNCTIONS R NOT IN JEE

anyway thanks dude

Vivek ·

but i won't have something like that when i write an exam,this was actually in a comprehension of calculus qns,which involved finding the above function,i repeat what do i do if i get such a qn in an exam,can't use any software there
