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

Q6 jee_main_2024_31_jan_morning Composition of Functions
If f(x) = frac4x + 36x - 4, x neq frac23 and (fof)(x) = g(x), where g : mathbbR - left\frac23right\ to mathbbR - left\frac23right\, then (gogog)(4) is equal to
  • A. -frac1920
  • B. frac1920
  • C. -4
  • D. 4

Solution

### Core Logic f(x) = frac4x + 36x - 4 Compute g(x) = f(f(x)): g(x) = frac4left(frac4x + 36x - 4right) + 36left(frac4x + 36x - 4right) - 4 = frac16x + 12 + 18x - 1224x + 18 - 24x + 16 = frac34x34 = x ### Step 1: Composition Evaluation Since g(x) = x, g is the identity function. (gogog)(4) = g(g(g(4))) = 4 ### Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer null ### Chapter Mix Class 12 Maths: Relations and Functions
Q29 jee_main_2024_31_jan_morning Equivalence Relations
Let A = \1, 2, 3, 4\ and R = \(1, 2), (2, 3), (1, 4)\ be a relation on A. Let S be the equivalence relation on A such that R subset S and the number of elements in S is n. Then, the minimum value of n is
Numerical Answer. Answer: 16 to 16

Solution

### Core Logic S must be reflexive, symmetric, and transitive, containing (1,2), (2,3), and (1,4). Symmetric property forces (2,1), (3,2), (4,1) in S. Transitive property: (1,2) and (2,3) implies (1,3) in S. Symmetric implies (3,1) in S. (4,1) and (1,2) implies (4,2) in S. Symmetric implies (2,4) in S. (4,1) and (1,3) implies (4,3) in S. Symmetric implies (3,4) in S. ### Step 1: Universal Relation Since 1 is related to 2, 3, 4 and the relation is an equivalence relation (which creates partitions), all elements 1, 2, 3, and 4 must fall into the same single equivalence class. Thus, S must contain all possible ordered pairs in A times A. ### Step 2: Final Count Number of elements in A times A = 4 times 4 = 16. Minimum value of n is 16. ### Pattern Recognition If a relation connects all elements in a set to each other through a chain, its equivalence closure is the universal relation A times A. ### Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer null ### Chapter Mix Class 12 Maths: Relations and Functions
