Explanation: Given equation is
(e2x - 4) (6e2x - 3ex - 2ex + 1) = 0

⇒ (x - 1)(x + 10)(x - 5) = 0

⇒ x = 1, 5, -10

Sum = -4

(c) (1, 3)
Explanation: The given quadratic equation is

∵ One root is in the interval (0, 1)

∴ f(0)f(1) ≤ 0

⇒ 2 (λ + 1 − 4λ + 2) ≤ 0

⇒ 2 (λ − 4λ + 3) ≤ 0

(λ − 1)(λ − 3) ≤ 0 ⇒ λ ∈ [1, 3]

But at λ = 1 both roots are 1 so λ ≠ 1

∴ λ ∈ (1, 3)

⇒ -1 = -K2 ⇒ K2 = 1

x→π x→π

2K1 ; x ≤ π
f"(x) = {

(b) f(x) is not differentiable at 5 points whether g(x) is non differentiable at 7 points
Explanation:
f(x) = max ⋅ {∣∣x − 2 |x|∣∣ , |x|}
2

We draw graph of
y = x2 - 2x = x(x - 2)

Now
2
y = |x| − 2 |x|

Graph of given function is

f(x) is non-differentiable at x = α, β, 0, γ, δ
and g(x) is non-differentiable at x α, β, 0 − 2, 2 ⇒ (B)
⇒ f(x) is not differentiable at five encircled points

and f(x) is not differentiable at points which are seven in number.

16.
(b) -1
Explanation: f(x + y) = f(xy) for all x, y
Substituting y = 0, we get f(x) = f(0)
f(0) is a constant ⇒ f(x) = constant

f (− ) = −

18.
(d) (-∞ , ∞ )
Explanation: Let f(x) = x|x - 1| + |x + 2|
Since f(x) is increasing function for all x ∈ R and Range = (-∞ , ∞ )
So, x|x - 1| + |x + 2| = -a has exactly one root for all a ∈ R.
19.
(d) y-axis
Explanation: As f(-x) = f(x) ∀ x ∈ R
∴ y remains unchanged when x is changed to -x.

Hence, the graph of y = f(x) is symmetric about y-axis.

x +2x+1
Explanation: Let, y = 2
x −8x+12

By cross multiplying
yx2 - 8xy + 12y - x2 - 2x - 1 = 0
⇒ x2(y - 1) - x(8y + 2) + (12y -1) = 0
Case 1: y ≠ 1
D≥0
⇒ (8y + 2)2 - 4(y - 1)(12y - 1) = 0 ⇒ y(4y + 21) ≥ 0

−21
y ∈ (−∞, ] ∪ [0, ∞) − {1}

Case 2: y = 1
-10x + 11 = 0 ⇒ 10x = 11 ⇒ x = 11

So, y can be 1

Hence, y ∈ (−∞, 4

Since, R = {(-4, 4), (-3, 3), (3, -2), (0, 1), (0, 0), (1, 1), (4, 4), (3, 3)}
For become reflexive, add ⇒ (-2, -2), (-4, -4), (-3, -3)

Note that n - 3 < 0 (think !)

If x → ∞ , ymax → 3-
Now ymin occurs at x = 0 (as 1 + π is maximum) 2

ymin = 3 + n - 3 = n + n = -4
