For a real number $\alpha$, let $[\alpha]$ denote the greatest integer less than or equal to $\alpha$. For a finite set $S$, let $|S|$ denote the number of elements in the set $S$.
Consider the functions $f:(-3,3) \rightarrow(-\infty, \infty)$ and $g:(-3,3) \rightarrow(-\infty, \infty)$ defined by
$ f(x)=\left[x^3\right] \log _e\left(1+\sin ^2(\pi(x-[x]))\right) $
and
$ g(x)=x^3 \sin ^2\left(\pi \log _e(1+x-[x])\right) . $
Let
$ A=\{x \in(-3,3): f \text { is discontinuous at } x\} $
and
$ B=\{x \in(-3,3): g \text { is discontinuous at } x\} . $
Then the value of $|A|+2|B|-|A \cap B|$ is $\_\_\_\_$ .
Explanation:
We are given:
$ f(x) = [x^3] \log \left(1 + \sin^2(\pi(x - [x]))\right) $
and
$ g(x) = x^3 \sin^2\left(\pi \log_e(1 + x - [x])\right) ,$
for $x \in (-3,3)$.
Simplify the expressions
Since $(x - [x])$ represents the fractional part of $x$, we can replace it by $\{x\}$. Then, because $\sin(\pi(x - [x])) = \sin(\pi x)$, we have
$ f(x) = [x^3] \log(1 + \sin^2 \pi x). $
Here, $[x^3]$ is the greatest integer less than or equal to $x^3$, and the fraction part repeats every integer shift in $x$. So $f(x)$ behaves differently in each interval between consecutive integers.
Determine where $f(x)$ is discontinuous
The expression $\log(1 + \sin^2 \pi x)$ is always continuous and periodic. The only chance of discontinuity comes from $[x^3]$ because it jumps whenever $x^3$ crosses an integer.
Since $x \in (-3,3)$, $x^3$ takes values from $-27$ to $27$. The integers in this range are from $-26$ to $26$, a total of $53$ integers. Whenever $x^3$ equals one of these integers, $[x^3]$ changes value.
At points where $x^3$ is an integer, $f(x)$ is likely discontinuous, except possibly where $\log(1 + \sin^2 \pi x) = 0$. That happens when $\sin \pi x = 0$, i.e., when $x$ is an integer.
Therefore, $f(x)$ is continuous at $x = -2, -1, 0, 1, 2$ but discontinuous where $x^3$ is an integer and $x$ is not an integer. So, out of 53 points, 5 are continuous, giving:
$ |A| = 53 - 5 = 48. $
Determine where $g(x)$ is discontinuous
We have
$ g(x) = x^3 \sin^2\left(\pi \log(1 + \{x\})\right). $
Here $\{x\} = x - [x]$, which is continuous everywhere except at integers. The function $\log(1 + \{x\})$ is defined for $\{x\} \in [0,1)$, so it is continuous within all open intervals between integers.
At integer values of $x$, $\{x\}$ jumps from $1^-$ to $0$, leading to discontinuities. So $g(x)$ is discontinuous only at integer points within $(-3,3)$, i.e., $x = -2, -1, 0, 1, 2$.
However, checking $x=0$, we find $g(0) = 0$, and the limit from both sides is also $0$, making it continuous at $x=0$. Hence, discontinuities are at $x = \pm 1, \pm 2$.
Thus, $|B| = 4$.
Intersection of discontinuities
Since $f(x)$ is continuous at $x = \pm 1, \pm 2$, none of these belong to both $A$ and $B$.
Hence, $|A \cap B| = 0.$
Final computation
$ |A| + 2|B| - |A \cap B| = 48 + 8 - 0 = 56. $
Consider the function $f:\left(-\frac{\pi}{2},\frac{\pi}{2}\right) \to (-\infty, \infty)$ defined by
$f(x) = (|x| + |x-1|) \sin x + \left[ x \sin x \right],$
where $\left[ x \sin x \right]$ is the greatest integer less than or equal to $x \sin x$.
Let $\alpha$ be the total number of points in the interval $\left(-\frac{\pi}{2}, \frac{\pi}{2}\right)$ at which $f$ is NOT continuous, and let $\beta$ be the total number of points in the interval $\left(-\frac{\pi}{2}, \frac{\pi}{2}\right)$ at which $f$ is NOT differentiable.
Then the value of $\alpha + \beta$ is ____________.
Explanation:
Let us write the function as $ f(x) = g(x) + h(x) $, where
$ g(x) = (|x| + |x - 1|)\sin x $ and $ h(x) = [x \sin x] $.
Check continuity of $ g(x) $
The expression $ |x| + |x - 1| $ is made up of absolute value functions. Absolute value functions are always continuous, and sine is also continuous. Therefore, $ g(x) $ is continuous for all $ x $ in $ \left(-\frac{\pi}{2}, \frac{\pi}{2}\right) $.
Check continuity of $ h(x) = [x \sin x] $
The greatest integer function $ [x \sin x] $ is discontinuous whenever $ x \sin x $ takes an integer value, because the value jumps at those points. So we must find where $ x \sin x $ equals an integer.
Case (i): $ x \sin x = 0 \Rightarrow x = 0 $
At $ x = 0 $, the function $ h(x) = [x \sin x] $ does not actually jump, so it is continuous at $ x = 0 $. Hence, $ f(x) $ is continuous there.
Case (ii): $ x \sin x = 1 \Rightarrow x = x_1 $ and because $ x \sin x $ is even, we also have another point $ x = -x_1 $.
Just before $ x_1 $, $ [x \sin x] = 0 $; just after $ x_1 $, $ [x \sin x] = 1 $. So there is a jump at $ x = x_1 $ and at $ x = -x_1 $.
Therefore, $ f(x) $ is not continuous at $ x = x_1 $ and $ x = -x_1 $.
Hence, $ \alpha = 2 $.
Check differentiability
We already know $ f(x) $ is not continuous at $ x = x_1, -x_1 $, so it cannot be differentiable there either.
We must also test $ x = 0 $ and $ x = 1 $, since $ g(x) $ involves absolute values and these points can cause problems with slope.
At $ x = 0 $:
$ f'(0^-) = f'(0^+) = 1 $, hence $ f(x) $ is differentiable at $ x = 0 $.
At $ x = 1 $:
$ f'(1^-) = \cos 1 $ and $ f'(1^+) = \cos 1 + 2\sin 1 $
Since these two are not equal, $ f(x) $ is not differentiable at $ x = 1 $.
Therefore, the points of non-differentiability are $ x = x_1, -x_1 $, and $ 1 $.
Hence, $ \beta = 3 $.
Final Answer:
$ \alpha + \beta = 5 $

The number of points of discontinuity of the function $f(x)=\left[\frac{x^2}{2}\right]-[\sqrt{x}], x \in[0,4]$, where $[\cdot]$ denotes the greatest integer function, is ________.
Explanation:
To determine the points of discontinuity of the function $ f(x) = \left[\frac{x^2}{2}\right] - [\sqrt{x}] $, where $[\cdot]$ denotes the greatest integer function, we need to identify possible values of $ x $ where discontinuities might occur within the interval $[0,4]$.
Discontinuity Analysis
For the term $\left[\frac{x^2}{2}\right]$:
The probable values of $ x $ that could cause discontinuities are the roots or specific values where the integer part changes between consecutive integers. The transitions happen when:
$ \begin{aligned} & = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 \\ & \implies x = \sqrt{2}, 2, \sqrt{6}, 2\sqrt{2}, \sqrt{10}, 2\sqrt{3}, \sqrt{14}, 4 \end{aligned} $
For the term $[\sqrt{x}]$:
The values of $ x $ where $[\sqrt{x}]$ changes are straightforward. They occur at:
$ x = 1, 2 $
Discontinuity Check
By evaluating $ f(x) $ at all these potential points, we find the function is indeed discontinuous at:
$ x = 1, \sqrt{2}, 2, \sqrt{6}, 2\sqrt{2}, \sqrt{10}, 2\sqrt{3}, \sqrt{14} $
Thus, the function $ f(x) $ has 8 discontinuities on the interval $[0,4]$.
Let $m$ and $n$ be the number of points at which the function $f(x)=\max \left\{x, x^3, x^5, \ldots x^{21}\right\}, x \in \mathbb{R}$, is not differentiable and not continuous, respectively. Then $m+n$ is equal to _________.
Explanation:
$\begin{aligned} &\text { for } x \geq 1, x^{21} \geq x^{19} \geq \ldots \geq x \text {. }\\ &f(x)=\left\{\begin{array}{lr} x & x<-1 \\ x^{21} & -1 \leq x \leq 0 \\ x & 0< x<1 \\ x^{21} & x \geq 1 \end{array}\right. \end{aligned}$

$\begin{aligned} &\text { Clearly, } f(x) \text { is continuous everywhere. }\\ &\begin{aligned} & \Rightarrow \alpha=0 \\ & f^{\prime}(x)=\left\{\begin{array}{cl} 1 & ; x<-1 \\ 21 x^{20} & ;-1 \leq x \leq 0 \\ 1 & ; 0< x<1 \\ 21 \cdot x^{20} & ; x \geq 1 \end{array}\right. \\ & \Rightarrow \beta=3 \\ & \Rightarrow \alpha+\beta=3 \end{aligned} \end{aligned}$
Explanation:
To solve the given limit problem, we start by analyzing the expression:
$ \lim\limits_{x \rightarrow 0}\left(\frac{\tan x}{x}\right)^{\frac{1}{x^2}} = p $
This limit exhibits the indeterminate form $1^{\infty}$. To handle this form, we use the transformation:
$ p = e^{\lim_{x \to 0} \left( \frac{\tan x}{x} - 1 \right) \frac{1}{x^2}} $
Expanding $\tan x$ using its Taylor series near $x = 0$, we have:
$ \tan x = x + \frac{x^3}{3} + \frac{2}{15}x^5 + \ldots $
Substituting this expansion into the limit, we get:
$ \frac{\tan x - x}{x^3} = \frac{\left(x + \frac{x^3}{3} + \frac{2}{15}x^5 + \ldots - x\right)}{x^3} = \frac{\frac{x^3}{3} + \frac{2}{15}x^5 + \ldots}{x^3} $
This simplifies to:
$ \frac{x^3}{3x^3} = \frac{1}{3} $
Thus, the limit becomes:
$ p = e^{\frac{1}{3}} $
Therefore, the expression for $\log_e p$ is:
$ \log_e p = \frac{1}{3} $
Finally, computing $96 \log_e p$:
$ 96 \log_e p = 96 \cdot \frac{1}{3} = 32 $
Let [t] be the greatest integer less than or equal to t. Then the least value of p ∈ N for which
$ \lim\limits_{x \to 0^+} \left( x (\left[ \frac{1}{x} \right] + \left[ \frac{2}{x} \right] + \ldots + \left[ \frac{p}{x} \right] \right) - x^2 \left( \left[ \frac{1}{x^2} \right] + \left[ \frac{2^2}{x^2} \right] + \ldots + \left[ \frac{9^2}{x^2} \right] \right) \geq 1 $ is equal to _______.
Explanation:
To find the least natural number $ p $ for which the following inequality holds:
$ \lim \limits_{x \rightarrow 0^{+}}\left(x\left(\left[\frac{1}{x}\right]+\left[\frac{2}{x}\right]+\ldots+\left[\frac{p}{x}\right]\right)-x^2\left(\left[\frac{1}{x^2}\right]+\left[\frac{2^2}{x^2}\right]+\ldots+\left[\frac{9^2}{x^2}\right]\right)\right) \geq 1 $
we simplify the expression inside the limit.
As $ x \to 0^+ $, $ \left[\frac{n}{x}\right] $ approximates to $ \frac{n}{x} $. Thus, the problem becomes finding:
$ \left(1 + 2 + \ldots + p\right) - \left(1^2 + 2^2 + \ldots + 9^2\right) \geq 1 $
The sum of the first $ p $ natural numbers is given by:
$ \frac{p(p+1)}{2} $
And the sum of the squares of the first 9 natural numbers is:
$ 1^2 + 2^2 + \ldots + 9^2 = \frac{9 \cdot 10 \cdot 19}{6} $
Thus, the inequality becomes:
$ \frac{p(p+1)}{2} - \frac{9 \cdot 10 \cdot 19}{6} \geq 1 $
Solving this, we rewrite:
$ p(p+1) \geq 572 $
The least natural number $ p $ satisfying this condition is $ 24 $.
Let $f(x)=\lim \limits_{n \rightarrow \infty} \sum\limits_{r=0}^n\left(\frac{\tan \left(x / 2^{r+1}\right)+\tan ^3\left(x / 2^{r+1}\right)}{1-\tan ^2\left(x / 2^{r+1}\right)}\right)$ Then $\lim\limits_{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{e^x-e^{f(x)}}{(x-f(x))}$ is equal to ___________.

$ \begin{array}{ll} \text { at } x=1 ; & \text { LHL }=\text { RHL, LHD }=\text { RHD } \\ & -3 a-2=a^2+b,-6 a=b \\ & a=2,1 ; b=-12 \end{array} $
$f(x)=\left\{\begin{array}{cc}-6 x^2-2, & x<1 \\ 4-12 x, & x \geq 1\end{array}\right.$

$\begin{aligned} & \left.\text { Area }=\int_{-\sqrt{3}}^1\left(-6 x^2-2+20\right) d x+\int_1^2(4-12 x+20) d x\right] \\\\ & =16+12 \sqrt{3}+6=22+12 \sqrt{3} \\\\ & \therefore \quad \alpha+\beta=34\end{aligned}$
Let $x_0$ be the real number such that $e^{x_0} + x_0 = 0$. For a given real number $\alpha$, define
$g(x) = \frac{3x e^x + 3x - \alpha e^x - \alpha x}{3(e^x + 1)}$
for all real numbers $x$.
Then which one of the following statements is TRUE?
For $\alpha = 2$, $\displaystyle \lim_{x \to x_0} \left| \frac{g(x) + e^{x_0}}{x - x_0} \right| = 0$
For $\alpha = 2$, $\displaystyle \lim_{x \to x_0} \left| \frac{g(x) + e^{x_0}}{x - x_0} \right| = 1$
For $\alpha = 3$, $\displaystyle \lim_{x \to x_0} \left| \frac{g(x) + e^{x_0}}{x - x_0} \right| = 0$
For $\alpha = 3$, $\displaystyle \lim_{x \to x_0} \left| \frac{g(x) + e^{x_0}}{x - x_0} \right| = \frac{2}{3}$
