If the domain of the function f(x) = frac1sqrt10 + 3x - x^2 + frac1sqrtx + |x| is (a, b), then (1 + a)^2 + b^2 is equal to:

Solution & Explanation

### Related Formula textFor frac1sqrtg(x) text to be defined, we require: g(x) > 0 ### Core Logic We find the domains of the two constituent terms separately and then find their intersection. ### Step 1: Find the domain of the first term For the first term to be defined: 10 + 3x - x^2 > 0 implies x^2 - 3x - 10 < 0 (x - 5)(x + 2) < 0 implies x in (-2, 5) quad text--- (1) ### Step 2: Find the domain of the second term For the second term to be defined: x + |x| > 0 - If x ge 0: x + x = 2x > 0 implies x > 0. - If x < 0: x - x = 0 ngtr 0. Thus, the domain of the second term is: x in (0, infty) quad text--- (2) ### Step 3: Find intersection and calculate the final expression Intersecting domains (1) and (2): x in (-2, 5) cap (0, infty) implies x in (0, 5) Comparing this with (a, b) gives a = 0 and b = 5. Now calculate the value: (1 + a)^2 + b^2 = (1 + 0)^2 + 5^2 = 1 + 25 = 26 ### Pattern Recognition Modulus domain constraint: The function x + |x| is non-zero only for positive values of x. This is a standard math trick that collapses complex domains down to x > 0 instantly. ### Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer null ### Chapter Mix Class 11 Mathematics: Relations and Functions

Q71 jee_main_2025_24_jan_evening Number of Functions under Constraints
Number of functions f:\1,2,dots,100\rightarrow\0,1\, that assign 1 to exactly one of the positive integers less than or equal to 98, is equal to \_\_\_\_.
Numerical Answer. Answer: 392

Solution

### Related Formula Fundamental Counting Principle: If an operation can be performed in n_1 ways, followed by a second operation in n_2 ways, the total configurations equal n_1 times n_2. ### Core Logic The domain set contains integers from 1 to 100. We divide the mapping requirements across distinct subsets of this domain[cite: 4064, 4068, 4069].

### Step 1: Choose the single element from \1, 2, dots, 98\ We must assign the image value 1 to exactly one positive integer from the \subset \1, 2, dots, 98\. The number of ways to pick this single element is : binom981 = 98 text ways ### Step 2: Mapping remaining elements The remaining 97 elements in the \1, 2, dots, 98\ \subset cannot map to 1, so they must map to 0. This leaves exactly 1 choice per remaining element. For the final two elements in the domain, 99 and 100, there are no structural constraints [cite: 4068, 4069]: - Element 99 can map to either 0 or 1 (2 options) . - Element 100 can map to either 0 or 1 (2 options). ### Step 3: Total functions combination Multiply the independent choices together : textTotal functions = 98 times 2 times 2 = 392 [cite: 4065, 4067] ### Pattern Recognition Separate domains tightly into restricted blocks vs completely free components. Realizing that elements 99 and 100 behave independently with full co-domain targets leaves a clear product formulation. ### Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer null ### Chapter Mix Class 12 Mathematics: Relations and Functions Class 11 Mathematics: Permutations and Combinations

Let f: mathbbR - \0\ to mathbbR be a function such that f(x) - 6fleft(frac1xright) = frac353x - frac52 If lim_x to 0 left( frac1alpha x + f(x) right) = beta for some alpha, beta in mathbbR, then alpha + 2beta is equal to :
  • A. 3
  • B. 5
  • C. 4
  • D. 6

Solution

### Related Formula For functional equations with inversion, substituting x to frac1x establishes a solvable system of algebraic equations to isolate f(x) directly. ### Core Logic The given equation is: f(x) - 6fleft(frac1xright) = frac353x - frac52 quad dots (1) Substitute x to frac1x in equation (1): fleft(frac1xright) - 6f(x) = frac35x3 - frac52 quad dots (2) ### Step 1: Eliminate f(1/x) Multiply equation (2) by 6 and add it to equation (1): left[ f(x) - 6fleft(frac1xright) right] + 6 left[ fleft(frac1xright) - 6f(x) right] = left( frac353x - frac52 right) + 6 left( frac35x3 - frac52 right) f(x) - 36f(x) = frac353x - frac52 + 70x - 15 -35f(x) = 70x + frac353x - frac352 Divide across by -35: f(x) = -2x - frac13x + frac12 ### Step 2: Evaluate the Limit We are given that the following limit evaluates to a finite constant beta: lim_x to 0 left( frac1alpha x + f(x) right) = beta lim_x to 0 left( frac1alpha x - 2x - frac13x + frac12 right) = beta lim_x to 0 left( left[ frac1alpha - frac13 right] frac1x - 2x + frac12 right) = beta For the limit to be a finite value, the coefficient of frac1x must vanish completely: frac1alpha - frac13 = 0 implies alpha = 3 When alpha = 3, the limit simplifies directly to the constant term: beta = lim_x to 0 left( -2x + frac12 right) = frac12 ### Step 3: Calculate Final Value Substitute the determined parameters alpha and beta: alpha + 2beta = 3 + 2left(frac12right) = 3 + 1 = 4 ### Pattern Recognition In limit problems involving fractional components where x to 0, any term like frac1x or higher negative powers must have a net coefficient of zero to guarantee existence of a finite limit value. ### Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer null ### Chapter Mix Class 11 Mathematics: Functions Class 11 Mathematics: Limits and Derivatives

  • A. 118
  • B. 92
  • C. 102
  • D. 108

Solution

### Related Formula Many finite fractional sum questions involving functional terms rely on identifying an underlying symmetric summation invariant, typically of the form f(x) + f(k-x) = textconstant. ### Core Logic First simplify the expression for f(x) algebraically: f(x) = frac4 cdot 2^x + 162 cdot (2^x)^2 + 16 cdot 2^x + 32 Factor out 4 from the numerator and 2 from the denominator: f(x) = frac4(2^x + 4)2[(2^x)^2 + 8 cdot 2^x + 16] = frac2(2^x + 4)(2^x + 4)^2 = frac22^x + 4 ### Step 1: Establish Symmetry Pairings Let's check the value of f(x) + f(4-x): f(4-x) = frac22^4-x + 4 = frac2frac162^x + 4 = frac2 cdot 2^x16 + 4 cdot 2^x = frac2 cdot 2^x4(2^x + 4) = frac2^x2(2^x + 4) Now compute the sum directly: f(x) + f(4-x) = frac22^x + 4 + frac2^x2(2^x + 4) = frac4 + 2^x2(2^x + 4) = frac12 Hence, whenever two input arguments sum up to 4, the sum of their functional values is exactly frac12. ### Step 2: Group the Finite Series Terms Consider the terms inside the requested sequence: frac115 + frac5915 = frac6015 = 4 implies fleft(frac115 ight) + fleft(frac5915 ight) = frac12 frac215 + frac5815 = frac6015 = 4 implies fleft(frac215 ight) + fleft(frac5815 ight) = frac12 This complementary pairing continues up to: fleft(frac2915 ight) + fleft(frac3115 ight) = frac12 This yields exactly 29 distinct pairs. The single middle term left unpaired corresponds to: textMiddle Term = fleft(frac3015 ight) = f(2) = frac22^2 + 4 = frac28 = frac14 ### Step 3: Evaluate Final Expression Compute the total value by multiplying the grouped sum by 8: textTotal = 8 cdot left[ 29 cdot left(frac12right) + frac14 right] textTotal = 8 cdot frac292 + 8 cdot frac14 = 116 + 2 = 118 ### Pattern Recognition Whenever a symmetric set of arguments is presented inside a summation matching frackn + fracN-kn = textconstant, look for an algebraic reduction of f(x) that yields a uniform constant sum for symmetric pairs. ### Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer null ### Chapter Mix Class 11 Mathematics: Functions
Q64 jee_main_2025_28_jan_evening Range and Onto Functions
Let f:[0,3]rightarrow A be defined by f(x)=2x^3-15x^2+36x+7 and g:[0,infty)rightarrow B be defined by g(x)=fracx^2025x^2025+1. If both the functions are onto and S=\xin Z:xin Atext or xin B\, then n(S) is equal to:
  • A. 30
  • B. 36
  • C. 29
  • D. 31

Solution

### Related Formula For a function to be onto, its Codomain must equal its Range. ### Core Logic First, find range A for f(x) = 2x^3 - 15x^2 + 36x + 7 over [0, 3]. Differentiating f(x): f'(x) = 6x^2 - 30x + 36 = 6(x^2 - 5x + 6) = 6(x-2)(x-3) Critical points are x=2 and x=3. Evaluate f(x) at boundary and critical points: - f(0) = 7 - f(2) = 2(8) - 15(4) + 36(2) + 7 = 16 - 60 + 72 + 7 = 35 - f(3) = 2(27) - 15(9) + 36(3) + 7 = 54 - 135 + 108 + 7 = 34 Thus, Range A = [7, 35]. ### Step 1: Find Range B for g(x) Now look at g(x) = fracx^2025x^2025+1 = 1 - frac1x^2025+1 over [0, infty). - At x = 0, g(0) = 0. - As x to infty, g(x) to 1. Since g(x) is continuous and monotonically strictly increasing, Range B = [0, 1). ### Step 2: Find the Integer Count of Union Set S S = \x in mathbbZ : x in A text or x in B\ = mathbbZ cap (A cup B) A cup B = [0, 1) cup [7, 35] The integers in this set are: - From [0, 1): x = 0 - From [7, 35]: x = 7, 8, 9, dots, 35 Total number of integers n(S): n(S) = 1 + (35 - 7 + 1) = 1 + 29 = 30 ### Pattern Recognition The condition 'or' means union. Be careful not to include integers between 1 and 6 since they are not present in either continuous range segment. ### Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer null ### Chapter Mix Class 12 Mathematics: Functions Class 12 Mathematics: Application of Derivatives
Q65 jee_main_2025_28_jan_evening Domain of Inverse Trigonometric Functions
Let [x] denote the greatest integer less than or equal to x. Then domain of f(x)=sec^-1(2[x]+1) is:
  • A. (-infty,-1]cup[0,infty)
  • B. (-infty,infty)
  • C. (-infty,-1]cup[1,infty)
  • D. (-infty,infty)-\0\

Solution

### Related Formula The domain of sec^-1(y) is given by |y| ge 1, which means: y le -1 quad textor quad y ge 1 ### Core Logic For f(x) = sec^-1(2[x]+1) to be defined: 2[x] + 1 le -1 quad textor quad 2[x] + 1 ge 1 ### Step 1: Solve individual inequalities Case 1: 2[x] + 1 le -1 implies 2[x] le -2 implies [x] le -1 This holds true for all x < 0, i.e., x in (-infty, 0). Case 2: 2[x] + 1 ge 1 implies 2[x] ge 0 implies [x] ge 0 This holds true for all x ge 0, i.e., x in [0, infty). ### Step 2: Take Union of the Solutions textDomain = (-infty, 0) cup [0, infty) = (-infty, infty) ### Pattern Recognition Since [x] covers all integer values and 2[x]+1 forms all odd integer values, the expression inside sec^-1 is always a non-zero integer. Non-zero integers always have absolute value ge 1. Hence, it is valid for all real numbers. ### Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer null ### Chapter Mix Class 11 Mathematics: Functions Class 12 Mathematics: Inverse Trigonometric Functions
