Find e local maximum and local minima, of the function `f(x)= sin x-cos x`,`0

Answer» Here, `f(x) = sinx-cosx`
`f(x) = sqrt2(1/sqrt2sinx-1/sqrt2cosx)`
`= sqrt2(cos(pi/4) sinx-sin(pi/4) cosx)`
`=sqrt2(sin(x-pi/4))`
So, `f(x)` will be maximum when `sin(x-pi/4) = 1`
`=> sin(x-pi/4) = sinpi/2=> x-pi/4 = pi/2=>x = (3pi/4)`
`f(x)` will be minimum when `sin(x-pi/4) = -1`
`=> sin(x-pi/4) = sin-pi/2=> x-pi/4 = -pi/2=>x = (-pi/4)`
`:. f(x)_(max) = sqrt2`
`f(x)_(min) = -sqrt2`

`x+y=pi/2`
`y=cospi/2=0`
`sinx=1`
`at x=-3/2pi,pi/2`
`(-3/2pi,0)` and `(pi/2,0)`
`y-0=-1/2(x+3/2pi)`
`y=-x/2-3/4pi`
`4y+2x+3pi=0`
`y-0=-1/2(x-pi/2)`
`y=-x/2+pi/4`
`4y+2x-pi=0`.

Answer» `w = (1-iz)/(z-i)`
`=>|w| = |(1-iz)|/|(z-i)|`
`=>|w|^2 = |(1-iz)|^2/|(z-i)|^2`
`=>|w|^2 = |(1-i(x+iy))|^2/(|(x+iy)-i|^2`
`=>1^2 = |(1+y) - ix|^2/|x+(y-1)i|^2`
`=>x^2+(y-1)^2 = x^2+(1+y)^2`
`=>y-1 = 1+y`
`=> y = 0`
`:. z = x+i(0) = x`
`=> z= x`
So, `z` lies on real axis.

Let `f:R to R ` be a function satisfying `f(2-x)=f(2+x) and f(20-x)=f(x) AA x in R.` For this function `f`, answer the following. The graph of `y= f(x)` is not symmetrial aboutA. symmetrical about `x=2`B. symmetrical about `x=10`C. symmetrical about `x=8`D. None of these

Answer» Correct Answer - C
`f(2-x) =f(2+x) " (1)" `
Replace x by `2-x. " Then " f(x)=f(4-x) " (2)" `
Also, given `f(20-x)=f(x) " (3)" `
From (1) and (2), `f(4-x)=f(20-x).`
Replace x by `4-x. " Then " f(x)=f(x+16).`
Hence, the period of `f(x)` is 16.
`f(2-x)=f(2+x)`
Hence, `y=f(x)` is symmetrical about `x=2`.
Also, `f(20-x)=f(x)`
`or f(20-(10+x))=f(10+x)`
`or f(10-x)=f(10+x)`
Hence, `y=f(x)` is symmetrical about `x=10`.

Let `f:R to R ` be a function satisfying `f(2-x)=f(2+x) and f(20-x)=f(x) AA x in R.` For this function `f`, answer the following. If `f(2) ne f(6),` then theA. fundamental period of `f(x) " is " 1`B. fundamental period of `f(x) " may be " 1`C. period of `f(x)` cannot be 1D. fundamental period of `f(x) " is " 8`

Answer» Correct Answer - C
`f(2-x) =f(2+x) " (1)" `
Replace x by `2-x. " Then " f(x)=f(4-x) " (2)" `
Also, given `f(20-x)=f(x) " (3)" `
From (1) and (2), `f(4-x)=f(20-x).`
Replace x by `4-x. " Then " f(x)=f(x+16).`
Hence, the period of `f(x)` is 16.
If 1 is a period, then `f(x)=f(x+1) AA x in R`
`or f(2)=f(3)=f(4)=f(5)=f(6)`
which contradicts the given hypotheses that `f(2) ne f(6).`
Therefore, 1 cannot be period of `f(x)`.

`7^(log_(3)5)+3^(log_(5)7)-5^(log_(3)7)-7^(log_(5)3)`

Answer» We know, `log_ab = log_xb/log_xa`
So, `7^(log_(3)5) =7^(log_(7)5/(log_(7)3) `
`= (7^(log_(7)5))^(1/log_(7)3)` (As `a^(log_(a)b) = b`)
`=5^((1/log_(7)3)` (As `a^(log_(a)b) = b`)
`= 5^(log_(3)7)` (As `a^(1/log_(b)c) = a^(log_(c)b)`)
So,`7^(log_(3)5) = 5^(log_(3)7)`->(1)
Similarly, we can show that,
`3^(log_(5)7) = 7^(log_(5)3)`->(2)
So, using (1) and (2), we can write our expression as,
`5^(log_(3)7)+7^(log_(5)3)- 5^(log_(3)7)-7^(log_(5)3) = 0`

Factorize `1+x^4+x^8`

Answer» `1 + x^4 + x^8`
`= 1+ x^4 + x^8 + x^4 - x^4`
using `x^8 = x^4*x^4= (x^4)^2`
`= 1 + 2x^4 + x^8 - x^4`
using `(a+b)^2 = a^2 + 2ab + b^2`
`(1)^2 + 2*1*(x^4) + (x^4)^2 - x^4`
`= (x^4+1)^2 - x^4`
`= (x^4 + 1)^2 - (x^2)^2`
`= (x^4 + 1 - x^2)(x^4+1+x^2)`
`= (x^4-x^2+1)(x^4+2x^2+1-x^2`
`= (x^4-x^2+1)((x^2+1)^2-x^2)`
`= (x^4 - x^2+1)(x^2-x+1)(x^2+x+1)`
answer

Answer» `=> x^4 +4`
`(x^2)^2 + (2)^2`
`= (x^2)^2 + (2)^2 + 2(x^2)2 - 2(x^2)2`
`= (x^2 +2)^2 - (2x)^2 `
using `(a+b)^2 = a^2 + b^2`
now by using `a^2 - b^2 = (a+b)(a-b) `
`= (x^2 +2+2x)(x^2+2-2x)`
answer
263.

The value of `int_-pi^pi cos^2x/[1+a^x].dx`,a>0 is

Answer» Here, `I =f(x) = int_(-pi)^(pi)cos^2x/(1+a^x)dx->(1)`
`I = f(-x) = int_(-pi)^(pi) cos^2(-x)/(1+a^-x)dx`
`I= int_(-pi)^(pi) cos^2 x/(1+1/a^x)dx`

`I= int_(-pi)^(pi) (a^x cos^2x)/(1+a^x)dx->(2)`

Adding (1) and (2),
`2I = int_(-pi)^(pi) (cos^2 x)(1+a^x)/(1+a^x)`
`=> 2I = int_(-pi)^(pi) (cos^2 x)->(3)`
Now, as `cos^2 x` is an even function,
`:. int_(-pi)^(pi) (cos^2 x) =2 int_(0)^(pi) (cos^2 x)`
So, (3) becomes,
`:. 2I = 2 int_(0)^(pi) (cos^2 x)`
Now, using `cos2x = 2cos^2x -1` in our expression,
`=> I = int_(0)^(pi) 1/2 (1+cos2 x)`
`=> I =1/2(x+ 2sin(2x)/2)_(0)^(pi)`
`=>1/2(pi-0) = pi/2`
`:. I = pi/2`

`f: RvecR ,f(x^2=x+3)+2f(x^2-3x+5)=6x^2-10 x+17AAx in R ,`then find the function `f(x)dot`

Answer» Correct Answer - `f(x)=2x-3`
Obviously, `f` is a linear polynomial.
Let `f(x)=ax+b.` Hence,
`f(x^(2)+x+3)+2f(x^(2)-3x+5)=6x^(2)-10x+17`
or ` [a(x^(2)+x+3)+b]+2[a(x^(2)-3x+5)+b]=6x^(2)-10x+17`
or `a+2a=6 " (1) " `
and `a-6a= -10 " (2)" `
or `a=2 " " ` (Comparing coeff. of `x^(2)` and coeff. of `x` both sides)
Again, `3a+b+10a+2b=17`
or `6+b+20+2b=17`
` :. b= -3`
or `f(x)=2x-3`
274.

Answer» `x^(2)f(x)-2f((1)/(x))=g(x) " and " 2f((1)/(x))-4x^(2)f(x)=2x^(2)g((1)/(x))`
or `-3x^(2)f(x)=g(x)+2x^(2)g((1)/(x))`
or ` f(x)=((g(x)+2x^(2)g((1)/(x)))/(3x^(2)))`
Since g(x) is odd `f(-x)= -f(x).`
But given that `f(x)` is even.
` :. f(x)=0`
` :. f(5)=0`
275.

If `f(x)`satisfies the relation `f(x)+f(x+4)=f(x+2)+f(x+6)`for all`x ,`then prove that `f(x)`is periodic and find its period.

Answer» Given `f(x)+f(x+4)=f(x+2)+f(x+6) " (1) " `
Replace x by `x+2`. Then
`f(x+2)+f(x+6)=f(x+4)+f(x+8) " (2)" `

Show that the relation `R`on the set `A`of points in a plane, given by `R={(P , Q):`Distance of the point `P`from the origin is same as the distance of thepoint `Q`from the origin}, is an equivalence relation.Further show that the set of all points related to a point `P!=(0, 0)`is the circle passing through `P`with origin as centre.

Answer» `R = {(P, Q):` distance of point `P` from the origin is the same as the distance of point `Q` from the origin}
Clearly, `(P, P) in R` since the distance of point `P` from the origin is always the same as the distance of the same point `P` from the origin.
`:.` `R` is reflexive.
Now,Let `(P, Q) in R.`
`=>` The distance of point `P` from the origin is the same as the distance of point `Q` from the origin.`=>` The distance of point `Q` from the origin is the same as the distance of point `P` from the origin.
`=> (Q, P) in R`.
`:.` `R` is symmetric.
Now,
Let `(P, Q), (Q, S) in R`
The distance of points `P` and `Q` from the origin is the same and also, the distance of points `Q` and `S` from the origin is the same.
`:.` The distance of points P and S from the origin is the same.
`:. (P, S) in R`.
`:. R` is transitive.
As `R` is reflexive, summetric and transitive, `R` is an equivalence relation.
The set of all points related to `P != (0, 0)` will be those points whose distance from the origin is the same as the distance of point `P` from the origin.
In other words, if `O (0, 0)` is the origin and `OP = r`,
then the set of all points related to ` P` is at a distance of `r` from the origin.
Hence, this set of points forms a circle with the centre as the origin and radius `r` and this circle passes through point `P`.

Show that the relation R in the set `A={1,2,3,4,5}` given by ` R={(a,b):|a-b|` is even }, is an equivalence relation.

Answer» `A= {1,2,3,4,5}`
`R={(a,b):|a-b|` is even }
It is clear that for any clement `a in A,` we have `|a - a| = 0`
(which is even).
Therefore, R is reflexive.
Let `(a,b) in R`.
`implies |a-b|` is even,
` implies |-(a-b)|=|b-a|` is also even
`implies (b,a) in R`
Therefore, R is symmetric.
Now, let `(a,b) in R ` and `(b,c) in R.`
` implies |a-b|` is even and `|b-c|` is even
`implies (a-b)` is even and `(b-c)` is even ` " " ` (assuming that `a gt b gt c`)
`implies (a-c)=(a-b)+(b-c)` is even ` " " ` [Sum of two even integers is even]
` implies |a-c|` is even
`implies (a,c) in R`
Therefore, R is transitive.
Hence, R is an equivalence relation.

Answer» `R {(P,Q):` distance of point P from the origin is the same as the distance of point Q from the origin}
Clearly, `(P,P) in R` since the distance of point P from the origin is always the same as the distance of the same point P from the origin.
Therefore, R is reflexive.
Now, let `(P,Q) in R`.
` implies` The distance of point P from the origin is the same as the distance of point Q from the origin.
`implies` The distance of point Q from the origin is the same as the distance of point P from the origin.
`implies (Q,P) in R`
Therefore , R is symmetric.
Now, let `(P,Q),(Q,S) in R.`
`implies ` The distance of point P and Q from the origin is the same and also, the distance of point Q and S from the origin is the same.
`rArr` the distance of points P and S from the origin is the same.
` implies (P,S) in R`
Therefore, R is transitive.
Therefore, R is an equivalence relation.

Given a non-empty set X, consider P(X) which is theset of all subsets of X. Define the relation R in P(X) as follows:For subsets A, B in P(X), ARB if and only if A B. Is R an equivalence relation on P(X)?Justify you answer

Answer» Since every set is a subset of itself, ARA for all ` A in P(X).`
Thererfore, R is reflexive.
Let ` ARB implies A subset B.`
This cannot be implied to `B subset A`.
For instant, if `A={1,2}` and `B={1,2,3},` then it cannot be implied that B is related to A.
Therefore, R is not symmetric.
Further if ARB and BRC, then ` A subset B` and `B subset C`.
`implies A subset C`
`implies ARC`
Therefore, R is transitive.
Hence, R is not an equivalence relation since it is not symmetric.
282.

Show that the relation R defined in the set A of all triangles as `R={(T_(1),T_(2)):T_(1)` is similar to `T_(2)`}, is equivalence relation.

Answer» `R={(T_(1),T_(2)):T_(1)` is similar to `T_(2)`}
R is reflexive since every triangle is similar to itself.
Further, if `(T_(1),T_(2)) in R,` then `T_(1)` is similar to `T_(2)`.
`implies T_(2)` is similar to `T_(2)`
`implies (T_(2),T_(1)) in R`.
Therefore, R is symmetric.
Now, let `(T_(1),T_(2)),(T_(2),T_(3)) in R`.
`implies T_(1)` is similar to `T_(2)` and `T_(2)` is similar to `T_(3)`
`implies T_(1)` is similar to `T_(3)`
`implies (T_(1), T_(3)) in R`
Therefore, R is transitive.
Thus, R is an equivalence relation.

The number of proper sub sets of the set `{3, 4, 5, 6, 7}` is

Answer» Let `A = {3,4,5,6,7}`
Number of proper subsets of a set containing `n` elements can be given as `2^n-1`.
Here, `A` contains `5` elements.
`:. n = 5`
So,number of proper subsets of set `A` will be `=2^5 - 1 = 31.`

Let `A" "=" "{-1," "0," "1," "2}`, `B" "=" "{-4," "-2," "0," "2}`and `f,g:" "A" "->" "B`befunctions defined by `f(x)=x^2-x ,""""x in A`and `g(x)=2|x-(1/2)|-1, x in A`. Are f and g equal? Justify your answer. (Hint: One may note that two functio

Answer» Here A={-1, 0, 1,2}
and B={-4, -2, 0 ,2}
In f,g:`A rarr B,f(x) =x^2-x`
and `g(x)=2|x -1/2|-1, x in A`
Now `f(-1)=(-1)^2-(-1)=1+1=2`
and `g(-1)=2 |-1-1/2|-1=3-1 =2`
`therefore f(1-)=g(-1)`
`f(0) =0^2-0=0`
and g(0) =2|0-1/2|-1 = 1-2=0
`therefore f(0)=g(0)`
and `g(1)=2|1-1/2|-1=2 (1/2)-1=0`
`therefore f(1)=g(1)`
`f(2)=2^2-2=4-2=2`
`and g(2)=|2-1/2|-1=3-1=2`
`therefore f(2)=g(2)`
Therefore , `AA a in A,`
`f(a)=g(a)`
`rArr ` f and g are equal

let `f(x)={x^2+ax+b, 0ltxlt2 and 3x+2 , 2lexlt4 and 2ax+5b , 4lexlt8 `. if f(x) is continuous on close interval`(0,8) `.find value of` a and b.`

Answer» Here, value of `f(x)` is changing at `2` and `4`.
So, `f(x)` to be continuous,
`f(2^-) = f(2^+)`
`=>2^2+2a+b = 3(2)+2`
`=>4+2a+b = 8`
`=>2a+b = 4->(1)`
Also, `f(x)` to be continuous,
`f(4^-) = f(4^+)`
`=>3(4) + 2 = 2a(4) +5b`
`=>14 = 8a+5b`
`=> 8a+5b = 14->(2)`
Multiplying (1) with `4` and then subtracting (1) from (2),
`8a+4b-8a-5b = 16 - 14`
`=> b = -2`
Putting `b = -2` in (1),
`2a-2 = 4 => a = 3`
So, for `a = 3` and `b = -2`, `f(x)` will be continuous.

Let `f(x) = x+f(x-1)` where `xepsilonR`. If `F(0)=1` find `f(100)`

Answer» Given `f(x)=x+f(x-1) " and " f(0)=1`
Put `x=1`. Then,
`f(1)=1+f(0)=2`
Put `x=2`. Then,
`f(2)=2+f(1)=4`
Put `x=3`. Then,
`f(3)=3+f(2)=7`
Thus, `f(0),f(1),f(2), …" form a series " 1,2,4,7, …. `
Let `S=1+2+4+7+ … +f(n-1)`
`S=1+2+4+ ... +f(n-2)+f(n-1)`
Subtracting , we get
`0=(1+1+2+3+...+n" terms")-f(n-1)`
` :. f(n-1)=(n(n+1))/(2)`
` :. f(100)=5051`

Given a non -empty set X, let `*:" "P(X)" "xx" "P(X) ->P(X)`be defined as A * B = (A B) `uu`(B A), `AA`A, B ` in `P(X)`A" "*" "B" "=" "(A" "-" "B) uu(B" "-" "A), AA""""A ," "B in P(X)`. Show that theempty set `varphi`is the identity for the

Answer» Operation on set P(X) is
`A ** B =(A-B) cup (B-A) AA A ,B in p(X)`
Let `A in P(X)`
`therefore A ** phi =(A - phi ) cup (phi -A)`
and `phi ** A =(phi-A)cup (A- phi)`
`therefore A ** =A = phi ** A`
`rArr phi` is the identity element in the binary peration .operation Again `A in P(X)` will be invertible if and only if exists an element B in P(X) such that `A ** B =Phi = B**A `
Now `Lambda ** Lambda=(A-A)cup (A-A)`
`= phi cup phi = phi `
`therefore` All elements A of P(X) are invertible
and `A^(-1)=A`

The function f(x) is defined for all real x. If `f(a+b)=f(ab) AA a " and " b " and " f(-(1)/(2))=-(1)/(2)` then find the value of `f(1005).`

Answer» We have `(f(a+b)=f(ab) AA a " and " b`
Put ` a=0`
` :. f(b)=f(0)=k ` (say)
Putting `b=0` in given relation,
`f(a)=f(0)=k`
Thus `f(a)=f(b)=k AA a,b`
Hence, `f(x)` is a constant function.
` :. f(1005)=f(-(1)/(2))`
`=-(1)/(2)`
