Domain of the given function is (-∞, -1) υ [0, ∞)

Now at x=0, y=1

and at x=∞, y=0

similarly left limiting value of y = -e

and for x=-∞, y=-∞

so range is (-∞, -e] υ (0, 1]

 

The AM of two positive numbers a & b exceeds their GM by 3/2 & the GM exceeds the HM by 6/5 such that a+b= α , |a-b|=β , then which of them are correct,

1) α + β² = 96            2) α + β² =74          3)α²+β = 234         4)α²+β = 84

(a+b)/2 = √ab + 3/2                   (1)                        or         a+b = 2√ab + 3

√ab      = 2ab/(a+b)  +  6/5       (2)                        or         5(a+b)√ab  =  10ab + 6(a+b)      

on solving these 2 we get               5[2√ab + 3]√ab = 10ab + 6[2√ab + 3]

                                           or               10ab + 15√ab  =  10ab + 12√ab + 18

                                           or                3√ab = 18     or      ab = 36          and      a+b = 15 = α

 so a-b = √(225 - 144)     =    √81     =     9 = β

(α,β);(β,γ) &(γ,α) are respectively the roots of x²-2px+2=0, x²-2qx+3=0,x²-2rx+6=0. if α,β,γ are all positive , then the value of p+q+r is

According to the given conditions

α+β=2p      (1)                 α*β=2        (2)

β+γ=2q       (3)                 β*γ=3        (4)

γ+α=2r       (5)                  γ*α=6        (6)

so α+β+γ = p+q+r              (7)

and α*β*γ=6                       (8)

dividing eq. (8) by (2), (4) , (6)  one by one we will get α, β, γ    hence we will get p+q+r

Left hand derivative of given function at x = k (k is an integer) is

   limh -> 0 {f(k-h) - f(k)}/ {k-h-k}  

= lim-> 0 {[k-h] sin π(k-h) - [k] sin πk}/{-h}                  now 2 cases arise for even and odd k

 

first case

= limh ->0  (k-1) sin (-πh) - 0 / (-h)                          if k is even ,   here we used sin πk = 0 and sin (2π-x) = sin (-x) 

= π(k-1)                   here we used sin (-πx)/(-πx) = 1

   

second case

= limh->0 (k-1) sin (πh) - 0 / (-h)                            if k is odd,    here we used sin πk = 0 and sin (3π-x) = sin x

= -π(k-1) 

 

 

Solution by Joshi sir

 

Left hand derivative of given function at x = k (k is an integer) is

   limh -> 0 {f(k-h) - f(k)}/ {k-h-k}  

= lim-> 0 {[k-h] sin π(k-h) - [k] sin πk}/{-h}                  now 2 cases arise for even and odd k

 

first case

= limh ->0  (k-1) sin (-πh) - 0 / (-h)                          if k is even ,   here we used sin πk = 0 and sin (2π-x) = sin (-x) 

= π(k-1)                   here we used sin (-πx)/(-πx) = 1

   

second case

= limh->0 (k-1) sin (πh) - 0 / (-h)                            if k is odd,    here we used sin πk = 0 and sin (3π-x) = sin x

= -π(k-1) 

so for even and odd k answer will be different.

     f(x)  = integraition of ( t2-t+2 )2005( t2-t-2 )2007( t2-t-6 )2009( t2-t-12 )2011( t2-3t+2 )2012  dt, then sum of values of x,  where maxima of (x)    is

I think the right question is  

f(x)  = 0( t2-t+2 )2005( t2-t-2 )2007( t2-t-6 )2009( t2-t-12 )2011( t2-3t+2 )2012  dt    

then sum of values of x,  where maxima of f(x) will be obtained is

for maxima f '(x) = 0

by using Newton Lebnitz formula we get

f '(x) =  (x2-x+2 )2005( x2-x-2 )2007( x2-x-6 )2009( x2-x-12 )2011( x2-3x+2 )2012

comparing it with 0 and making factors we will get x = -1, 2, 3, -2, 4, -3, 1

now obtain the maxima point then sum these values

Let a number n have its base -7 representation as n= 1223334444. the highest  power of 7, that divides the number n! is

n = (1223334444)= 1*7+ 2*78 + 2*77 + 3*76 + 3*75 + 3*74 + 4*73 + 4*72 + 4*71 + 4*70

so if we will divide n! by 7x we will get 1*78 + 2*77 + 2*76 + 3*75 + 3*74 + 3*73 + 4*72 + 4*71 + 4*70 as x

 

 

A light example

if we divide (1*72 + 2*71 + 3*70)! by 7x we get x = 1*71 + 2*70 = 9     

 

If the eqaution x^3-3x+k, always has exactly one +ve real root , then find teh minimum value of [|k|].

Joshi sir comment

 

let f(x) = x^3-3x+k

so f'(x) = 3 x^2 - 3

on comparing with 0, x = +1, -1

on double differentiating we get that function f(x) is minimum at +1 and maximum at -1

so for getting the only +ve real root plot a graph such that it could intersect positive x axis at any point and nowhere else. From the graph it is clear that k will be negative.

at x = +1,  f(x) = k-2

at x = -1, f(x) = k+2

so on the basis of given conditions k-2<0 or k<2  and  k+2<0 or k<-2 

finally k<-2 so [|k|] has minimum value 2

 

x^7 - 3x^4+2x^3-k=0, k>0 has atleast m imaginary roots then m is ?

Joshi sir comment

x^7 - 3x^4+2x^3-k=0

according to sign change rule there are 3 pair of sign + -, - +, + - ,       see the sign before coefficient of different powers

so 3 positive real roots are confirmed

now take  x = -x

we get -x^7 - 3x^4 - 2x^3 - k = 0, there is no sign change so no negative root

total real roots = 3

so imaginary roots = 4

Joshi sir comment

(1 + 0.0001) 10000 = 1 + 10000*0.0001 + other terms = greater then 2

besides it lim x->0 (1+x)1/x = e = less then 3

it means the given expression is more then 2 but less then 3 

so 2 will be the answer
