Answer» Answer: (c) 2 fog (x) = f (g (x) = f (x2 + x) = sin (x2 + x) + cos (x2 + x) + 1 ∴ fog (0) = sin 0 + cos 0 + 1 = 0 + 1 + 1 = 2. |

If f (x) = ex and g(x) = loge x, then which of the following is true ?(a) f {g (x)} ≠ g{f (x)} (b) f {g (x)} = g{f (x)} (c) f {g (x)} + g{f (x)} = 0(d) f {g (x)} – g{f (x)} = 1 |
|
Answer» Answer : (b) f {g (x)} = g{f (x)} f (x) = ex and g(x) = loge x ∴ f {g (x)} = f (loge x) = eloge x = x = g{f (x)} = g (ex ) = logeex = x ∴ f {g(x)} = g{f (x)}. |

Let f : R → R be a function defined by\(\ f(x) =\begin{cases}1\,,&\quad \text{if } x \text{ is a rational number.}\\0\,, &\quad \text {if } x \text { is an irrational number.}\end {cases}\)Find (fof ) (1- \(\sqrt{3}\)) . |
|
Answer» (fof ) (1 - \(\sqrt{3}\) ) = f { f (1 - \(\sqrt{3}\) )} = f(0) (∵ 1 - \(\sqrt{3}\) is an irrational number) = 1 (∵ 0 is rational) |

Consider the following molecules and answer the questions: CH3 – CH2 – CH2 – Cl, CH3 – CH2 – CH2 – Br, CH3 – CH2 – CH2 – I. i. What type of inductive effect is expected to operate in these molecules? ii. Identify the molecules from these three, having the strongest and the weakest inductive effect. |
|
Answer» i. The groups responsible for inductive effect in these molecules are -Cl, -Br and -I, respectively. All these are halogen atoms which are more electronegative than carbon. Therefore, all of them exert -I effect, that is, electron withdrawing inductive effect. ii. The -I effect of halogens is due to their electronegativity. A decreasing order of electronegativity in these halogens follows Cl > Br > I. Therefore, the strongest -I effect is expected in CH3 – CH2 – CH2 – Cl, while the weakest -I effect is expected for CH3 – CH2 – CH2 – I. |
