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 :

Solution & Explanation

### 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
