First, evaluate g(2)$g(2)$:

We need to find f(g(2)) = f(13)$f(g(2)) = f(13)$.

Given the composite function relation:

Substitute g(t)$g(t)$ expansion:

Let f(x) = t$f(x) = t$:

Step 1: Solve for f(x)

Using the quadratic formula for t$t$:

Since f(0) = -3$f(0) = -3$:

Choosing the positive sign gives (-8 - 64)/(24) = -3$\frac{-8 - 64}{24} = -3$, so we take the positive sign branch (where the inner term was 3x-16$3x-16$, wait, +4(3x-16)$+4(3x-16)$ with x=0$x=0$ is -64$-64$. So +$+$ sign works).

Step 2: Final Calculation

Evaluate f(13)$f(13)$:

Pattern Recognition

Composite equations resolving to quadratics in f(x)$f(x)$ typically require boundary conditions (like f(0)=-3$f(0)=-3$) to eliminate the ±$\pm$ ambiguity from the quadratic formula.

Statement I: f(x) = (x)/(1+|x|)$f(x) = \frac{x}{1+|x|}$.

The derivative f'(x) = (1)/((1+|x|)²) > 0$f'(x) = \frac{1}{(1+|x|)^2} > 0$ for all x$x$. Since it is strictly increasing, f(x)$f(x)$ is one-one. Statement I is true.

Execution

Statement II: f(x) = (x² + 4x - 30)/(x² - 8x + 18)$f(x) = \frac{x^2 + 4x - 30}{x^2 - 8x + 18}$. Let's evaluate f(0)$f(0)$:

Set f(x) = -(5)/(3)$f(x) = -\frac{5}{3}$ to find if there are other roots:

x = 0$x = 0$ or x = (7)/(2)$x = \frac{7}{2}$ (Note: the PDF says on solving x=0, -1$x=0, -1$, but algebraic check shows x=0, 7/2$x=0, 7/2$. Regardless, it maps to multiple points). Since f(0) = f(7/2) = -(5)/(3)$f(0) = f(7/2) = -\frac{5}{3}$, the function maps distinct inputs to the same output. It is many-one. Statement II is true.

Step 1: Final Conclusion

Both Statement I and Statement II are true.

Pattern Recognition

Checking x=0$x=0$ in a rational function y = P(x)/Q(x)$y = P(x)/Q(x)$ provides a quick horizontal line test benchmark. Equating the function to f(0)$f(0)$ immediately reveals if it's many-one without computing full derivatives.

The set of unique values produced by f(x)$f(x)$ represents its range. Range = -2, 0, 4$\{-2, 0, 4\}$

The sum of all elements in the range is: -2 + 0 + 4 = 2$-2 + 0 + 4 = 2$

To find the longest sequence of connected pairs, we trace the relation backward starting from the smallest elements in A$A$.

Step 1: Trace the relations backward

To maximize k$k$, we want the chain of elements to go down as low as possible. Let the final element in the chain be ak+1 in A$a_{k+1} \in \mathrm{A}$. Since ak = 2 ak+1 + 1$a_k = 2 a_{k+1} + 1$:

• If ak+1 = 1 ak = 3$a_{k+1} = 1 \implies a_k = 3$
• If ak+1 = 2 ak = 5$a_{k+1} = 2 \implies a_k = 5$

Let's test the chain starting with ak+1 = 1$a_{k+1} = 1$:

• ak = 2(1) + 1 = 3$a_k = 2(1) + 1 = 3$
• ak-1 = 2(3) + 1 = 7$a_{k-1} = 2(3) + 1 = 7$
• ak-2 = 2(7) + 1 = 15$a_{k-2} = 2(7) + 1 = 15$
• ak-3 = 2(15) + 1 = 31$a_{k-3} = 2(15) + 1 = 31$
• ak-4 = 2(31) + 1 = 63$a_{k-4} = 2(31) + 1 = 63$
• ak-5 = 2(63) + 1 = 127$a_{k-5} = 2(63) + 1 = 127$ (but 127 A$127 \notin \mathrm{A}$!)

Thus, the longest chain within the set A$A$ has 6 elements:

This chain corresponds to exactly 5 ordered pairs:

So the maximum number of pairs in the sequence is k = 5$k = 5$.

Step 2: Check alternative chains

If we start with ak+1 = 2$a_{k+1} = 2$:

• ak+1 = 2$a_{k+1} = 2$
• ak = 5$a_k = 5$
• ak-1 = 11$a_{k-1} = 11$
• ak-2 = 23$a_{k-2} = 23$
• ak-3 = 47$a_{k-3} = 47$
• ak-4 = 95$a_{k-4} = 95$
• ak-5 = 191 > 100$a_{k-5} = 191 > 100$

Again, the maximum number of pairs is k = 5$k = 5$. Thus, the largest integer k$k$ is 5.
