Answer (Detailed Solution Below)

Option 4 : 32

Relations and Functions Question 2 Detailed Solution

Concept:

Exponential Generating Function & Series Coefficients:

  • The expression uses combinations nCr and factorials, hinting at exponential and binomial expansion identities.
  • Function f(x) = 1 + (1 + x)/1! + (1 + x)2/2! + (1 + x)3/3! + ... is considered to evaluate the coefficient of x2.
  • This function can be transformed using the identity: e1+x / (1 + x)
  • The coefficient of x2 in this expansion corresponds to the RHS of 'a' series.
  • The value of b is derived using the identity: 1 + 2/1! + 22/2! + 23/3! + ... = e2

 

Calculation:

Let f(x) = 1 + (1 + x)/1! + (1 + x)2/2! + (1 + x)3/3! + ...

⇒ f(x) = e(1+x) / (1 + x)

Expand RHS:

= (1 + x + x2/2! + ...) / (1 + x)

⇒ (1 + x + (1 + x)2/2! + (1 + x)3/3! + (1 + x)4/4! + ...)

So, coefficient of x2 in RHS is:

2C2/3! + 3C2/4! + 4C2/5! + ... = a - 1

coefficient of x2 in RHS:

e × (1 + x+ x2/2!) × (1 -x+ x2/2!)

is e- e+ e/2! =a 

Now, expand LHS expression:

e × (1 + x+ x2/2!) × (1 -x+ x2/2!)

⇒ e × (1 - (x4/4!)) = e 

So, coefficient of x2 = e × e = e2

Thus, b = 1 + 2/1! + 22/2! + 23/3! + ... = e2

a = e\2!

⇒ 8b / a2 = 2 × e2 / (e/2!)2 = 32

∴ 8b / a2 = 32

Relations and Functions Question 3:

Let f(x) = 3 + 2x and gn(x) = (fo fo f0... n times) (x).

∀n ∈ N if all the lines y = gn(x) pass through a fixed point (α, β), then 2α + 3β =

  1. -15
  2. -14
  3. -13
  4. -16

Answer (Detailed Solution Below)

Option 1 : -15

Relations and Functions Question 3 Detailed Solution

Concept:

  • Let f(x) = 3 + 2x, which is a linear function of the form f(x) = ax + b.
  • Let gn(x) be the function obtained by composing f with itself n times: gn(x) = f ∘ f ∘ ... ∘ f (n times)(x).
  • If gn(x) passes through a fixed point (α, β) for all n ∈ ℕ, then the point satisfies the equation gn(α) = β for all n.
  • This implies that the point (α, β) is a fixed point of all functions gn.
  • We find this by solving for the fixed point that satisfies f(α) = α, which guarantees that the point stays fixed under repeated function compositions.

 

Calculation:

Let f(x) = 3 + 2x

We want a point (α, β) such that gn(α) = β for all n ∈ ℕ

⇒ fn(α) = β for all n

Let’s compute a few values:

g1(x) = f(x) = 3 + 2x

g2(x) = f(f(x)) = f(3 + 2x) = 3 + 2(3 + 2x) = 3 + 6 + 4x = 9 + 4x

g3(x) = f(g2(x)) = f(9 + 4x) = 3 + 2(9 + 4x) = 3 + 18 + 8x = 21 + 8x

So pattern is: gn(x) = An + Bnx

Let’s deduce the recurrence relations:

Initial: A1 = 3, B1 = 2

⇒ An = 3 + 2An-1

⇒ Bn = 2Bn-1

Bn = 2n

Let us find fixed point: f(α) = α

⇒ 3 + 2α = α

⇒ α = -3

Let β = gn(α) = gn(-3)

gn(x) = An + Bnx = An - 3 × Bn

So β = An - 3 × Bn

We want this constant for all n

Let’s check for small values:

g1(x) = 3 + 2x ⇒ g1(-3) = 3 - 6 = -3

g2(x) = 9 + 4x ⇒ g2(-3) = 9 - 12 = -3

g3(x) = 21 + 8x ⇒ g3(-3) = 21 - 24 = -3

So, β = -3 always

∴ 2α + 3β = -3× 2 + (-3)× 3 = -15

Relations and Functions Question 5:

Which of the following is a bijective function?

  1. y = x + 10
  2. y = cos x
  3. y = x²
  4. y = |x|

Answer (Detailed Solution Below)

Option 1 : y = x + 10

Relations and Functions Question 5 Detailed Solution

The correct answer is y = x + 10.

Key Points
  • A function is bijective if it is both injective (one-to-one) and surjective (onto).
  • Injective: A function is injective if every element of the domain maps to a unique element in the codomain.
  • Surjective: A function is surjective if every element in the codomain has a preimage in the domain.
  • For y = x + 10, the function is linear and satisfies both injective and surjective properties:
    • Injective: Since the slope of the line is non-zero, each x value maps to a unique y value.
    • Surjective: Any real number y can be achieved by solving for x (x = y - 10), ensuring that all values in the codomain have a preimage.
Additional Information
  • y = cos x: Not bijective because it is periodic and does not cover all real numbers (not surjective).
  • y = x²: Not bijective because multiple x values (positive and negative) map to the same y value (not injective).
  • y = |x|: Not bijective because multiple x values (positive and negative) map to the same y value (not injective).
  • Bijective functions are particularly important in mathematics as they define one-to-one correspondences between sets.

  • It is represented like f(x) = f(x + T), T is the real number and this is the period of the function.
  • The period of sin x and cos x is 2π

 

Calculation:

To Find: Period of 4cos3 x - 3cos x

As we know 4cos3 x - 3cos x = cos 3x

Period of cos x is 2π

Therefore, the Period of cos 3x is \(\rm \frac {2\pi}{3}\)

Concept:

If f(x)  is even function then f(-x) = f(x)

If f(x)  is odd function then f(-x) = -f(x)

 

Calculation:

Given: f(x) = x2 + 4x + 4

Replace x by -x,

⇒ f(-x) = (-x)2 + 4(-x) + 4

= x2 - 4x + 4                       (∵ (-x)2 = x2)

⇒ f(-x) ≠ ± f(x)

Hence function is neither odd nor even.

Concept:

  • Inverse Function:


Let f: A → B be one-one and onto (bijective) function. Then f-1 exists which is a function f-1: B → A, which maps each element b ∈ B with an element

a ∈ A such that f(a) = b is called the inverse function of f: A → B.

  • Methods to find inverse:


Let f : A → B be a bijective function.

Step – I Put f (x) = y

Step – II Solve the equation y = f (x) to obtain x in terms of y.

Interchange x and y to obtain the inverse of the given function f.

Calculation:

Given: \(f(x) = \frac{1 + 2x}{x + 7}\)

Let y = f(x) = 2x + 1 / x + 7

⇒ xy + 7y = 2x + 1

⇒ 7y – 1 = 2x – xy

⇒ x(2 - y) = 7y – 1

⇒ x = (7y - 1) / (2 - y)

⇒ f-1 (x) = \(\frac{7x - 1}{2 - x}\)

Concept:

Logarithm properties:  

Product rule: The log of a product equals the sum of two logs.

\(\rm {\log _a}\left( {mn} \right) = \;{\log _a}m + \;{\log _a}n\)

Quotient rule: The log of a quotient equals the difference of two logs.

\(\rm {\log _a}\frac{m}{n} = \;{\log _a}m - \;{\log _a}n\)

Power rule: In the log of power the exponent becomes a coefficient.

\(\rm {\log _a}{m^n} = n{\log _a}m\)

 

Formula of Logarithms:

If \(\rm lo{g_a}x = b \) then x = ab (Here a ≠ 1 and a > 0)

 

Calculation:

Given: \(\rm \log_{3}{(x^{4} - x^3)} - \log_{3} (x - 1) = 3\)

\(\rm \Rightarrow \log_{3} \left[{\frac{(x^{4} - x^3)}{(x - 1)}} \right ] = 3\)        (∵ \(\rm {\log _a}\frac{m}{n} = \;{\log _a}m - \;{\log _a}n\))

\(\rm \Rightarrow \log_{3} \left[{\frac{x^3(x-1)}{(x - 1)}} \right ] = 3\)

\(\rm \Rightarrow \log_{3} x^3 = 3\)

\(\Rightarrow \rm 3\log_3 x = 3\)               (∵ \(\rm {\log _a}{m^n} = n{\log _a}m\)

\(\Rightarrow \rm \log_3 x = 1 \\\therefore x=3\)

Find the range of the real function f(x) = \(\rm \frac{x+1}{x-3}\)

  1. R - {3}
  2. R - {1}

Concept:

Range: The range of a function is the set of all possible values it can produce, i.e., all values of y for which x is defined.

Note:

The domain of a function f(x) is the set of all values for which the function is defined, and the range of the function is the set of all values that f takes.

Calculation:

Let, y = f(x) = \(\rm \frac{x+1}{x-3}\)

⇒y(x - 3) = x + 1

⇒yx - 3y - x = 1

⇒ x(y - 1) - 3y = 1

⇒ x(y - 1) = 1 + 3y

\(\rm x = \frac{1+3y}{y-1}\)

It is clear that x is not defined when y - 1 = 0, i.e, when  y = 1

∴ Range (f) = R - {1}

Hence, option (2) is correct.

Mistake PointsIt is given in the Question that, f(x) is real function. So,

f(x) has real values for value of x other than x = 3

∴ Domain of given function = R - {3}, where R is set of all real numbers

What is the domain of the function f(x) = sin-1 (x + 1) ?

  1. [-1, 1]
  2. [-2, 0]
  3. [-2, 0)

Answer (Detailed Solution Below)

Option 2 : [-2, 0]

Relations and Functions Question 12 Detailed Solution

Concept:

Domin of sin-1 x is [-1, 1]

Adding or subtracting the same quantity from both sides of an inequality leaves the inequality symbol unchanged.

Calculation:

Given:  f(x) = sin-1 (x + 1) 

As we know, domin of sin1 x is [-1, 1]

Therefore, -1 ≤ (x + 1) ≤ 1

subtracting 1 in above inequality, 

⇒ -1 - 1 ≤ x + 1 - 1 ≤ 1 - 1

⇒ -2 ≤ x ≤ 0

∴ Domin of sin-1 (x + 1) is [-2, 0] 

Mistake Points[-2, 0] is different from [-2, 0). '[' and ']' indicates that the end number (2 and 0) is also included. '(' and ')' indicates that 2 and 0 are not taken into consideration.

If f(x) = ln (x + \(\sqrt{1+\text{x}^2}\)), then which one of the following is correct ?

  1. f(x) + f(−x) = 0
  2. f(x)−f(−x) = 0
  3. 2f(x) = f(−x)
  4. f(x) = 2f(−x)

Answer (Detailed Solution Below)

Option 1 : f(x) + f(−x) = 0

Relations and Functions Question 13 Detailed Solution

Concept:

  • (x + y)(x - y) = x2 - y2
  • \(\ln { 1\over a} = \ln 1 - \ln a = 0 - \ln a = -\ln a\)

Calculation:

Given: f(x) = ln (x + \(\sqrt{1+\text{x}^2}\)),__(i)

Replace x by (-x) in (i),

⇒  f(-x) = ln (-x + \(\sqrt{1+(\text{-x})^2}\)),

⇒  f(-x) = ln (-x + \(\sqrt{1+\text{x}^2}\)),

Multiply and divide by (x + \(\sqrt{1+\text{x}^2}\)) inside the ln function,

⇒  f(-x) =  \(\ln (-x + \sqrt{1+\text{x}^2}.{ x + \sqrt{1+\text{x}^2}\over x + \sqrt{1+\text{x}^2}})\),

⇒  f(-x) =  \(\ln ({- x^2 + {1+\text{x}^2}\over x + \sqrt{1+\text{x}^2}})\),

⇒  f(-x) =  \(\ln ({1 \over x + \sqrt{1+\text{x}^2}})\),

⇒  f(-x) =  \(-\ln ({ x + \sqrt{1+\text{x}^2}})\),

From (i),

⇒  f(-x) =  - f(x)\

⇒  f(-x) + f(x) = 0

∴ The correct answer is option (1).

Let f(x) = x2, in R, then the range of f will be:

  1. non negative numbers
  2. negative real numbers
  3. positive real numbers
  4. integers

Option 1 : non negative numbers

Relations and Functions Question 14 Detailed Solution

Download Solution PDF

Concept:

Range of a Function:

  • The range of a function is the set of all possible output values (f(x)) for the given domain.
  • For the function f(x) = x², where x ∈ ℝ, the output is always a non-negative real number.
  • This is because the square of any real number is always greater than or equal to zero.
  • Minimum value of f(x) occurs at x = 0, which gives f(0) = 0.
  • As x increases or decreases, f(x) increases without any upper limit.

 

Calculation:

Given,

Function: f(x) = x²

Domain: x ∈ ℝ

⇒ f(0) = 0 ∈ range

⇒ For x = ±1, ±2, f(x) = 1, 4, which are > 0

⇒ f(x) ≥ 0 for all real x

⇒ So, the range is [0, ∞)

⇒ f(x) can take any value from 0 to ∞

The range of f(x) is the set of all non-negative real numbers.

Understanding Positive vs Non-negative Real Numbers:

  • Positive real numbers are all real numbers greater than zero, i.e., (0, ∞), and do not include 0.
  • Non-negative real numbers include all positive real numbers and 0, i.e., [0, ∞).
  • The function f(x) = x² is defined for all real numbers, and it gives an output ≥ 0 for any x ∈ ℝ.
  • At x = 0, f(x) = 0² = 0, which is part of the range.
  • Since 0 is not included in positive real numbers, option 3 is incorrect.
  •  

∴ Option 3 is incorrect because it excludes 0, which is part of the range.

Hence Option 1 is the correct answer

Find domain of the function \({\rm{f}}\left( {\rm{x}} \right) = {\rm{\;}}\frac{4}{{\sqrt {{\rm{x}} - 2} }}\)

  1. (2, ∞)

  3. (0, ∞)
  4. [-2, ∞)

Answer (Detailed Solution Below)

Concept:

1. Domain of a  functions:

  • The domain of a function is the set of all possible values of the independent variable. That is all the possible inputs for a function.


Calculation:

Observe that the given function is in the form of numerator and denominator. The function will be well defined for all non zero values of the denominator.

Therefore, \({\rm{x}} - 2{\rm{\;}} \ne 0\) that implies that \({\rm{x\;}} \ne 2\).

Similarly square root function is well defined for all non-negative values.

Therefore, \({\rm{x}} - 2 > 0\) that implies \({\rm{x}} > 2.\)

Thus, domain of the given function is \(\left( {2,{\rm{\;}}\infty } \right).\)
