(True/False)?

i think the first one is true.
isnt it?

Ashish Sharma ·

Q4) f(f(x)) =x we have to solve...

so it can be anywhere!

Ashish Sharma ·

i think second part is easy....

other questions i cannoth think now..

in Q1 i think it will be only that it will use all lines

To nishant

Lim(x→0){(sin(1/x))/(sin(1/x))} = 1

or {Lim(x→0)(sin(1/x))}/{Lim(x→0)(sin(1/x))} =1 both are smae

I think no one is trying this!

To add to question 1 (first part)

If false, give a general form which will actually satisfy all lines criterion

Lokesh Verma ·

As long as inverses are functions.. they will meet at x=y

the condition for them not to meet is that the "inverse" are not functions but relations (sorry for putting this relation crap in between..) !

I searched the net.. somehow i am getting 2-3 sites that say what i am saying..

But there is no denying that u are right... absolutely.

I remember my fiitjee teacher ofcourse many years back having taught this same thing :D

And he was an IIT Kanpur Gold Medalist Mathematics(Rank 1!)

So he coulnt have been wrong :D .. alas :))

This one is going in the next news letter with credits to you :)

Kumar Saurabh ·

interesting!

i never think that way!

62
Lokesh Verma ·

and after seeing this function

x=-y.. even i have started to believe that i am wrong!
these two meet at all points.. and they seem to be invertible !

62
Lokesh Verma ·

hmm.. i can see where u got this from..

ok i will try to make sure i am right.. and then tell u why this is happening...

because u could have givne a simpler function

x=-y!!

their inverse will meet everywhere....

but just let me check once more...

1
Kumar Saurabh ·

hehe :)

I am reading... good god...

but i think it is reflection along x=y... so they cant meet anywhere else!

33
Abhishek Priyam ·

But if we plot graph of f(x)=-x+sin(x) and reflect it about y=x and the reflected graph and original graph intersect at many points other than y=x

62
Lokesh Verma ·

if u are not convinced... i will try to find some good reference to support my case :)

Or try to prove this thing myself (which seems unlikely!)

62
Lokesh Verma ·

and for that what is the point which is not on x=y?

1
Kumar Saurabh ·

you two are interesting :)

33
Abhishek Priyam ·

What about f(x)=-x+sin(x)

62
Lokesh Verma ·

is the 2nd question

Lim(x→0){(sin(1/x))/(sin(1/x))} = ?

or {Lim(x→0)(sin(1/x))}/{Lim(x→0)(sin(1/x))}

Both will have different answers!

I think u meant the first one...

btw both are worth trying :)

33
Abhishek Priyam ·

Last answer is not x=y, consider f(x)=-x+sin(x)..................

62
Lokesh Verma ·

it is x=y..

1
Anuj Bharti ·

last question is x=y.. this is because of reflection property of inverse functions

good discussion b/w abhishek and nishant .. i liked it and learned from it as well !

1
Kumar Saurabh ·

4th part is it x=y?

i think if not wrong.. it is reflection on x=y

but will this is correct answer i dont know.. my guess only

1
Kumar Saurabh ·

hmm.. good question.. i not think that way..

good abhishek .. i like your answer

62
Lokesh Verma ·

yes.. priyam u are perfectly right.. my wrong :D

1
Kumar Saurabh ·

oh.. yes i think.. indeterminate by indeterminate? right?

so be indeterminate na?

33
Abhishek Priyam ·

Oh no first Lim(x→0)(sin(1/x))/(sin(1/x)) , according 2 me limit should not exist as limit exists if the limit approach a fixed quantity no matter from which path we approach it but here we can't approach 0 with path i.e. x=1/n*Pi and a very infinetisimal interval across zero will contain numerous points not in domain. but i'm not sure......

1
Kumar Saurabh ·

good everyone.. i like this all questions.. i will try to answer...

Q2. Lim(x→0)(sin(1/x))/(sin(1/x)) = ?

answer will be 1 . because it is lim(x-0) {1}

the other thing.
when in same question there was another case...

answer will be 1 again.

62
Lokesh Verma ·

yup.. unfortunately not too many active users on the forum...

they come.. they see.. they go :D
