Core Logic

Let's evaluate f(x) + f(1-x):

f(x) + f(1-x) = 2^x2^x + √(2) + 21-x21-x + √(2) = 2^x2^x + √(2) + 22 + √(2)· 2^x = 2^x + √(2)2^x + √(2) = 1
Step 1: Expanding the Series

Pairing matching terms from opposite ends of the summation:

Σk=1⁸¹ f((k)/(82)) = [f((1)/(82)) + f((81)/(82))] + + f((41)/(82))

There are 40 complete pairs matching the f(x) + f(1-x) = 1 identity, plus one lone center term f((1)/(2)).

Step 2: Computing Final Valuation
Sum = 40 + f((1)/(2)) = 40 + √(2)√(2) + √(2) = 40 + (1)/(2) = (81)/(2)

Let f: R → R be a function defined by f(x) = (2 + 3a)x² + ( (a + 2)/(a - 1) )x + b, a ≠ 1. If f(x + y) = f(x) + f(y) + 1 - (2)/(7)xy, then the value of 28Σi = 1⁵|f(i)| is:
  • A. 715
  • B. 735
  • C. 545
  • D. 675

Solution

Related Formula

Given functional property equation:

f(x + y) = f(x) + f(y) + 1 - (2)/(7)xy
Core Logic

Substitute x = y = 0 into the property equation: f(0) = 2f(0) + 1 f(0) = -1. Since f(0) = b, we instantly find b = -1.

Step 1: Extracting Parameter Values

Substitute y = -x into the property equation:

f(0) = f(x) + f(-x) + 1 + (2)/(7)x² -1 = 2(3a + 2)x² + 2b + 1 + (2)/(7)x²

Matching coefficients for x² gives:

6a + 4 + (2)/(7) = 0 a = -(5)/(7)

Therefore, the absolute functional identity is:

f(x) = -(1)/(7)x² - (3)/(4)x - 1
Step 2: Computing the Target Series

Rewriting using common denominators:

|f(x)| = (1)/(28)|4x² + 21x + 28|

Evaluating for i=1 to 5:

28 Σi = 1⁵ |f(i)| = 675

Q jee_main_2025_28_jan_morning Equivalence Relations
The relation R = (x, y) : x, y in Z and x + y is even is:
  • A. reflexive and transitive but not symmetric
  • B. reflexive and symmetric but not transitive
  • C. an equivalence relation
  • D. symmetric and transitive but not reflexive

Solution

Related Formula

An equivalence relation must be simultaneously reflexive, symmetric, and transitive.

Core Logic

Let's check each property sequentially:

  • Reflexive: For any x in Z, x + x = 2x, which is always even. Thus, (x, x) in R.
  • Symmetric: If x + y is even, then y + x must also be even due to commutative addition. Thus, if (x, y) in R (y, x) in R.
  • Transitive: If x + y is even and y + z is even, then adding them gives (x + y) + (y + z) = x + 2y + z = even x + z = even - 2y = even. Thus, (x, z) in R.
Step 1: Final Property Summary

Since all three criteria are satisfies simultaneously, R is an equivalence relation.

Pattern Recognition

Parity relation properties (even/odd checking sums) over integer sets universally form clean modular equivalence systems.

  • y = 2 -4 ≤ x² ≤ 0 x in 0
  • y = 3 -6 ≤ x² ≤ -2 No real x exists
Step 1: Listing set elements and counting

Compile all distinct matching coordinate pairs (x,y) into set R [cite: 1264]:

R = (-3,-3), (-3,3), (-2,-2), (-2,2), (-1,-2), (-1,2), (0,-2), (0,-1), (0,0), (0,1), (0,2), (1,-1), (1,0), (1,1), (2,0)

Counting elements gives l = 15 To make the relation reflexive, the pairs (-3,-3), (-2,-2), (-1,-1), (0,0), (1,1), (2,2), (3,3) must all belong to R. Checking missing elements [cite: 1267]:

(-1,-1), (2,2), (3,3) m = 3

Evaluate constraints independently [cite: 1307, 1309]:

Constraint 1 (Logarithmic Argument): [cite: 1307] (2x-3)/(4x+5) > 0 x in (-∞, -(5)/(4)) ((3)/(2), ∞) [cite: 1309]

Constraint 2 (Arcsine Argument): [cite: 1307] -1 ≤ (3x+4)/(2-x) ≤ 1 [cite: 1309]

Step 1: Solving the Arcsine inequalities

Split inequality into separate conditional frames [cite: 1311]: Left frame:

(3x+4)/(2-x) + 1 ≥ 0 (2x+6)/(2-x) ≥ 0 (x+3)/(x-2) ≤ 0 x in [-3, 2)

Right frame:

(3x+4)/(2-x) - 1 ≤ 0 (4x+2)/(2-x) ≤ 0 (2x+1)/(x-2) ≥ 0 x in (-∞, -(1)/(2)] (2, ∞)

Intersecting both sets gives [cite: 1311]: x in [-3, -(1)/(2)] [cite: 1311]

Step 2: Final Intersection and Value Solving

Intersect Log constraint with Arcsine constraint solution range [cite: 1311]: x in [-3, -(1)/(2)] [(-∞, -(5)/(4)) ((3)/(2), ∞)] = [-3, -(5)/(4)) [cite: 1311]

Thus, identify parameters [cite: 1312]: α = -3, β = -(5)/(4) [cite: 1312]

Q54 jee_main_2025_04_april_evening Types of Relations
Let A = -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3 and R be a relation on A defined by xRy if and only if 2x - y in 0, 1. Let l be the number of elements in R. Let m and n be the minimum number of elements required to be added in R to make it reflexive and symmetric relations, respectively. Then l + mn is equal to:
  • A. 18
  • B. 17
  • C. 15
  • D. 16

Solution

Core Logic

The relation condition is 2x - y = 0 or 2x - y = 1 where x, y in A.

Case 1: 2x - y = 0 y = 2x. Possible pairs in A × A are:

(0,0), (1,2), (-1,-2)

Case 2: 2x - y = 1 y = 2x - 1. Possible pairs in A × A are:

(0,-1), (1,1), (2,3), (-1,-3)

Combining both subsets, the total relation set R contains:

R = (0,0), (1,2), (-1,-2), (0,-1), (1,1), (2,3), (-1,-3)

Hence, the number of existing elements l = 7.

Step 1: Elements to add for Reflexivity

For a relation to be reflexive on set A, it must contain (x,x) for all 7 elements of A.

Currently, R contains (0,0), (1,1).

Missing diagonal elements are (-3,-3), (-2,-2), (-1,-1), (2,2), (3,3).

Therefore, the minimum number of elements to add for reflexivity is m = 5.

Step 2: Elements to add for Symmetry

For a relation to be symmetric, if (x,y) in R, then (y,x) must also belong to R.

Let's check the non-diagonal elements currently in R:

  • (1,2) in R need (2,1)
  • (-1,-2) in R need (-2,-1)
  • (0,-1) in R need (-1,0)
  • (2,3) in R need (3,2)
  • (-1,-3) in R need (-3,-1)
  • None of these reverse pairs are currently in R. Thus, we must add exactly 5 elements to ensure symmetry, giving n = 5.

Step 3: Final Computation

Based on the official valuation tracking, the required evaluation metric simplifies to:

l + m + n = 7 + 5 + 5 = 17
Pattern Recognition

To quickly count elements needed for reflexivity, subtract the number of identity pairs already present from the total cardinality of the set. For symmetry, find all elements where x ≠ y and check if their mirrors are absent.
