Explanation:
$\lim _\limits{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{\frac{\tan (\tan x)-\tan x}{\tan ^3 x} \frac{\tan ^3 x}{x^3}+\frac{\tan x-\sin x}{x^3}+\frac{\sin x-\sin (\sin x)}{\sin ^3 x} \frac{\sin ^3 x}{x^3}}{\frac{\tan x-\sin x}{x^3}}$
$=\frac{\frac{1}{3}+\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{6}}{\frac{1}{2}}=2$
For $\mathrm{t}>-1$, let $\alpha_{\mathrm{t}}$ and $\beta_{\mathrm{t}}$ be the roots of the equation
$ \left((\mathrm{t}+2)^{1 / 7}-1\right) x^2+\left((\mathrm{t}+2)^{1 / 6}-1\right) x+\left((\mathrm{t}+2)^{1 / 21}-1\right)=0 \text {. If } \lim \limits_{\mathrm{t} \rightarrow-1^{+}} \alpha_{\mathrm{t}}=\mathrm{a} \text { and } \lim \limits_{\mathrm{t} \rightarrow-1^{+}} \beta_{\mathrm{t}}=\mathrm{b} \text {, } $
then $72(a+b)^2$ is equal to ___________.
Explanation:
$\begin{aligned} &a+b=\lim _{t \rightarrow-1^{+}}(\alpha+\beta)=\lim _{t \rightarrow-1^{+}}-\frac{(t+2)^{\frac{1}{6}}-1}{(t+2)^{\frac{1}{7}}-1}\\ &\begin{aligned} & \text { let } t+2=y \\ & a+b=\lim _{y \rightarrow 1^{+}} \frac{y^{1 / 6}-1}{y^{1 / 7}-1}=\frac{7}{6} \\ & 72(a+b)^2=72 \frac{49}{36}=98 \end{aligned} \end{aligned}$
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 ___________.
Explanation:
$\begin{aligned} & f(x)=\lim _{n \rightarrow \infty} \sum_{r=0}^n\left(\tan \frac{x}{2^r}-\tan \frac{x}{2^{r+1}}\right)=\tan x \\ & \lim _{x \rightarrow 0}\left(\frac{e^x-e^{\tan x}}{x-\tan x}\right)=\lim _{x \rightarrow 0} e^{\tan x} \frac{\left(e^{x-\tan x}-1\right)}{(x-\tan x)} \\ & =1 \end{aligned}$
Let $\mathrm{f}(x)=\left\{\begin{array}{lc}3 x, & x<0 \\ \min \{1+x+[x], x+2[x]\}, & 0 \leq x \leq 2 \\ 5, & x>2\end{array}\right.$
where [.] denotes greatest integer function. If $\alpha$ and $\beta$ are the number of points, where $f$ is not continuous and is not differentiable, respectively, then $\alpha+\beta$ equals _______ .
Explanation:
$\begin{aligned} & f(x)=\left\{\begin{array}{ccc} 3 x & ; & x<0 \\ \min \{1+x, x\} & ; & 0 \leq x<1 \\ \min \{2+x, x+2\} & ; & 1 \leq x<2 \\ 5 & ; & x>2 \end{array}\right. \\ & f(x)=\left\{\begin{array}{ccl} 3 \mathrm{x} & ; & x<0 \\ \mathrm{x} & ; & 0 \leq x<1 \\ \mathrm{x}+2 & ; & 1 \leq x<2 \\ 5 & ; & x>2 \end{array}\right. \end{aligned}$

Not continuous at $\mathrm{x} \in\{1,2\} \Rightarrow \alpha=2$
Not diff. at $\mathrm{x} \in\{0,1,2\} \Rightarrow \beta=3$
$\alpha+\beta=5$
Let the function,

$f(x)=\left\{\begin{array}{cc}-6 x^2-2, & x<1 \\ 4-12 x, & x \geq 1\end{array}\right.$

$\begin{aligned} & \left.\text { Area }=\int_{-\sqrt{3}}^1\left(-6 x^2-2+20\right) d x+\int_1^2(4-12 x+20) d x\right] \\\\ & =16+12 \sqrt{3}+6=22+12 \sqrt{3} \\\\ & \therefore \quad \alpha+\beta=34\end{aligned}$
Let $f:(0, \pi) \rightarrow \mathbf{R}$ be a function given by $f(x)=\left\{\begin{array}{cc}\left(\frac{8}{7}\right)^{\frac{\tan 8 x}{\tan 7 x}}, & 0< x<\frac{\pi}{2} \\ \mathrm{a}-8, & x=\frac{\pi}{2} \\ (1+\mid \cot x)^{\frac{\mathrm{b}}{\mathrm{a}}|\tan x|}, & \frac{\pi}{2} < x < \pi\end{array}\right.$
where $\mathrm{a}, \mathrm{b} \in \mathbf{Z}$. If $f$ is continuous at $x=\frac{\pi}{2}$, then $\mathrm{a}^2+\mathrm{b}^2$ is equal to _________.
Explanation:
$\lim _\limits{x \rightarrow \frac{\pi^{-}}{2}} f(x)=f\left(\frac{\pi}{2}\right)=\lim _\limits{x \rightarrow \frac{\pi^{+}}{2}} f(x) \text { for continuity at } x=\frac{\pi}{2}$
$\begin{aligned} & \Rightarrow \quad \lim _{x \rightarrow \frac{\pi^{-}}{2}}\left(\frac{8}{7}\right)^{\left(\frac{\tan 8 x}{\tan 7 x}\right)} \quad \text { Let } x=\frac{\pi}{2}-h \\ & \Rightarrow \quad \lim _{h \rightarrow 0}\left(\frac{8}{7}\right)^{\frac{\tan (4 \pi-8 h)}{\tan \left(3 \pi+\frac{\pi}{2}-7 h\right)}}=\lim _{h \rightarrow 0}\left(\frac{8}{7}\right)^{\frac{\tan (-8 h)}{\cot (7 h)}}=\left(\frac{8}{7}\right)^0=1 \\ & \Rightarrow \quad a-8=1 \Rightarrow a=9 \end{aligned}$
$\lim _\limits{x \rightarrow \frac{\pi^{+}}{2}}(1+|\cot x|)^{\frac{b}{a}|\tan x|}, x=\frac{\pi}{2}+h$
$\lim _\limits{h \rightarrow 0}(1-\tan h)^{-\frac{b}{9} \cot h}=\lim _\limits{h \rightarrow 0}(1-\tan h)^{-\frac{b}{9} \cot h}$

Let $\mathrm{a}>0$ be a root of the equation $2 x^2+x-2=0$. If $\lim _\limits{x \rightarrow \frac{1}{a}} \frac{16\left(1-\cos \left(2+x-2 x^2\right)\right)}{(1-a x)^2}=\alpha+\beta \sqrt{17}$, where $\alpha, \beta \in Z$, then $\alpha+\beta$ is equal to _________.
Explanation:
$\because 2 x^2+x-2=0$ has two roots where $a=\frac{\sqrt{17}-1}{4}$ and another root is $\frac{-\sqrt{17}-1}{4}$
And $2+x-2 x^2=-2\left(x-\frac{1}{a}\right)\left(x+\frac{4}{\sqrt{17}+1}\right)$
Now $\lim _\limits{x \rightarrow \frac{1}{a}} \frac{16\left(1-\cos \left(2+x-2 x^2\right)\right)}{(1-a x)^2}$
$\begin{aligned} & =\lim _{x \rightarrow \frac{1}{a}} \frac{32 \sin ^2\left(\frac{2+x-2 x^2}{2}\right)}{a^2\left(\frac{1}{a}-x\right)^2} \\ & =\lim _{x \rightarrow \frac{1}{a}} \frac{\left(x+\frac{4}{\sqrt{17}+1}\right)^2 32 \cdot\left(\sin \left(\frac{1}{2} \cdot(-2)\right)\left(x-\frac{1}{a}\right)\left(x+\frac{4}{\sqrt{17}+1}\right)\right)^2}{a^2\left(\left(x-\frac{1}{a}\right)\left(x+\frac{4}{\sqrt{17}+1}\right)\right)^2} \\ & =2 \cdot\left(\frac{1}{a}+\frac{4}{\sqrt{17}+1}\right)^2 \cdot\left(\frac{4}{\sqrt{17}-1}\right)^2 \\ & =2\left(\frac{4}{\sqrt{17}-1}+\frac{4}{\sqrt{17}+1}\right)^2 \cdot\left(\frac{4}{\sqrt{17}-1}\right)^2 \\ & =\frac{17 \times 4}{18-2 \sqrt{17}}=\frac{68}{9-\sqrt{17}} \\ & =17(9+\sqrt{17}) \\ & \alpha+\beta=170 \end{aligned}$

Explanation:
$\lim _\limits{t \rightarrow x} \frac{t^2 f(x)-x^2 f(t)}{(t-x)}=1 \quad\left(\frac{0}{0} \text { form }\right)$
$\begin{aligned} & \lim _{t \rightarrow x} \frac{2 \operatorname{tf}(x)-x^2 f^{\prime}(t)}{1}=1 \\ & \Rightarrow 2 x f(x)-x^2 f'(x)=1 \\ & \frac{d y}{d x}-\frac{2 x y}{x^2}=\frac{-1}{x^2} \\ & \Rightarrow \frac{d y}{d x}-\left(\frac{2}{x}\right) y=\frac{-1}{x^2} \\ & \Rightarrow \text { I.F. }=e^{\int \frac{-2}{x} d x}=e^{-2 \ln x}=x^{-2}=\frac{1}{x^2} \end{aligned}$
$\begin{aligned} \Rightarrow & y\left(\frac{1}{x^2}\right)=\int\left(\frac{-1}{x^2}\right)\left(\frac{1}{x^2}\right) d x+C \\ & \frac{y}{x^2}=\frac{1}{3 x^3}+C \text { at } x=1, y=1 \\ \Rightarrow & 1=\frac{1}{3}+C \Rightarrow C=\frac{2}{3} \\ \Rightarrow & y=\frac{1}{3 x}+\frac{2}{3} x^2=f(x) \\ \Rightarrow & 2 f(2)+3 f(3)=24 \end{aligned}$

Explanation:
R = $ \begin{gathered} \lim _{x \rightarrow 0^{+}} f(x)=\lim _{h \rightarrow 0} f(0+h) =\lim _{h \rightarrow 0} f(h) \end{gathered} $

Let $\cos ^{-1}\left(1-h^2\right)=\theta \Rightarrow \cos \theta=1-h^2$
$ \begin{aligned} & =\frac{\pi}{2} \lim _{\theta \rightarrow 0} \frac{\theta}{\sqrt{1-\cos \theta}} \\\\ & =\frac{\pi}{2} \lim _{\theta \rightarrow 0} \frac{1}{\sqrt{\frac{1-\cos \theta}{\theta^2}}} \\\\ & =\frac{\pi}{2} \frac{1}{\sqrt{1 / 2}} \\\\ & \therefore \mathrm{R}=\frac{\pi}{\sqrt{2}} \end{aligned} $

$\begin{aligned} & \mathrm{c}-\mathrm{b}=0, \quad \frac{\mathrm{b}}{2}-\mathrm{c}+\mathrm{a}=0 \\ & \mathrm{a}-\frac{\mathrm{b}}{3}+\frac{\mathrm{c}}{2}=1 \quad \mathrm{a}=\frac{3}{4} \quad \mathrm{~b}=\mathrm{c}=\frac{3}{2} \\ & \mathrm{a}^2+\mathrm{b}^2+\mathrm{c}^2=\frac{9}{16}+\frac{9}{4}+\frac{9}{4} \\ & 16\left(\mathrm{a}^2+\mathrm{b}^2+\mathrm{c}^2\right)=81 \end{aligned}$
If the function
$f(x)= \begin{cases}\frac{1}{|x|}, & |x| \geqslant 2 \\ \mathrm{a} x^2+2 \mathrm{~b}, & |x|<2\end{cases}$
is differentiable on $\mathbf{R}$, then $48(a+b)$ is equal to __________.
Explanation:
$\mathrm{f}(\mathrm{x})\left\{\begin{array}{c} \frac{1}{\mathrm{x}} ; \mathrm{x} \geq 2 \\ \mathrm{ax}^2+2 \mathrm{~b} ;-2<\mathrm{x}<2 \\ -\frac{1}{\mathrm{x}} ; \mathrm{x} \leq-2 \end{array}\right.$
Continuous at $\mathrm{x}=2 \quad \Rightarrow \frac{1}{2}=\frac{\mathrm{a}}{4}+2 \mathrm{~b}$
Continuous at $\mathrm{x}=-2 \quad \Rightarrow \frac{1}{2}=\frac{\mathrm{a}}{4}+2 \mathrm{~b}$
Since, it is differentiable at $\mathrm{x}=2$
$-\frac{1}{x^2}=2 \mathrm{ax}$
Differentiable at $x=2 \quad \Rightarrow \frac{-1}{4}=4 a \Rightarrow a=\frac{-1}{16}, b =\frac{3}{8}$
Let $f(x)=\sqrt{\lim _\limits{r \rightarrow x}\left\{\frac{2 r^2\left[(f(r))^2-f(x) f(r)\right]}{r^2-x^2}-r^3 e^{\frac{f(r)}{r}}\right\}}$ be differentiable in $(-\infty, 0) \cup(0, \infty)$ and $f(1)=1$. Then the value of ea, such that $f(a)=0$, is equal to _________.
Explanation:
$\begin{aligned} & f(1)=1, f(a)=0 \\ & {f^2}(x) = \mathop {\lim }\limits_{r \to x} \left( {{{2{r^2}({f^2}(r) - f(x)f(r))} \over {{r^2} - {x^2}}} - {r^3}{e^{{{f(r)} \over r}}}} \right) \\ & = \mathop {\lim }\limits_{r \to x} \left( {{{2{r^2}f(r)} \over {r + x}}{{(f(r) - f(x))} \over {r - x}} - {r^3}{e^{{{f(r)} \over r}}}} \right) \\ & f^2(x)=\frac{2 x^2 f(x)}{2 x} f^{\prime}(x)-x^3 e^{\frac{f(x)}{x}} \\ & y^2=x y \frac{d y}{d x}-x^3 e^{\frac{y}{x}} \\ & \frac{y}{x}=\frac{d y}{d x}-\frac{x^2}{y} e^{\frac{y}{x}} \end{aligned}$
Put $y=v x \Rightarrow \frac{d y}{d x}=v+x \frac{d v}{d x}$
$\begin{aligned} & v=v+x \frac{d v}{d x}-\frac{x}{v} e^v \\ & \frac{d v}{d x}=\frac{e^v}{v} \Rightarrow e^{-v} v d v=d x \end{aligned}$
Integrating both side
$\begin{aligned} & \mathrm{e}^{\mathrm{v}}(\mathrm{x}+\mathrm{c})+1+\mathrm{v}=0 \\ & \mathrm{f}(1)=1 \Rightarrow \mathrm{x}=1, \mathrm{y}=1 \end{aligned}$
$\begin{aligned} & \Rightarrow c=-1-\frac{2}{e} \\ & e^v\left(-1-\frac{2}{e}+x\right)+1+v=0 \\ & e^{\frac{y}{x}}\left(-1-\frac{2}{e}+x\right)+1+\frac{y}{x}=0 \\ & x=a, y=0 \Rightarrow a=\frac{2}{e} \\ & a e=2 \end{aligned}$
Let $[x]$ be the greatest integer $\leq x$. Then the number of points in the interval $(-2,1)$, where the function $f(x)=|[x]|+\sqrt{x-[x]}$ is discontinuous, is ___________.
Explanation:
1. The greatest integer function $[x]$ is discontinuous at every integer, since it jumps from one integer to the next without taking any values in between. The absolute value does not affect where this function is continuous or discontinuous. So within the interval $(-2,1)$, $[x]$ is discontinuous at $-2, -1, 0$ and $1$. However, because the interval is open $(-2,1)$, the endpoints $-2$ and $1$ are not included.
2. The function $\sqrt{x-[x]}$ is the square root of the fractional part of $x$. The fractional part function $x-[x]$ is continuous everywhere, as it always takes a value between $0$ and $1$ (inclusive of $0$, exclusive of $1$). However, the square root function $\sqrt{x}$ is only defined for $x \geq 0$, and so $\sqrt{x-[x]}$ is discontinuous wherever $x-[x] < 0$. This happens exactly at the points where $x$ is a negative integer, as the fractional part of a negative integer is $1$ (considering that the "fractional part" is defined as the part of the number to the right of the decimal point, which for negative numbers works a bit differently). Within the interval $(-2,1)$, this is the case for $-2$ and $-1$. However, since the interval is open $(-2,1)$, the endpoint $-2$ is not included.
Now, let's analyze the discontinuities within the given interval $(-2,1)$:
At $x=-1$: $f(-1^{+})=1+0=1$ and $f(-1^{-})=2+1=3$. Since these two values are different, $f(x)$ is discontinuous at $x=-1$.
At $x=0$: $f(0^{+})=0+0=0$ and $f(0^{-})=1+1=2$. Again, these two values are different, so $f(x)$ is discontinuous at $x=0$.
At $x=1$: $f(1^{+})=1+0=1$ and $f(1^{-})=0+1=1$. These two values are the same, so $f(x)$ is continuous at $x=1$. However, this point is not within the open interval $(-2,1)$.
So within the interval $(-2,1)$, the function $f(x) = |[x]| + \sqrt{x-[x]}$ is discontinuous at the points $-1$ and $0$ (2 points in total).
Let $f:( - 2,2) \to R$ be defined by $f(x) = \left\{ {\matrix{ {x[x],} & { - 2 < x < 0} \cr {(x - 1)[x],} & {0 \le x \le 2} \cr } } \right.$ where $[x]$ denotes the greatest integer function. If m and n respectively are the number of points in $( - 2,2)$ at which $y = |f(x)|$ is not continuous and not differentiable, then $m + n$ is equal to ____________.
Explanation:
When $[x]$ is denotes greatest integer function
Clearly, $|f(x)|$ remains same.
Given that, $m$ and $n$ respectively are the number points in $(-2,2)$ at which $y=|f(x)|$ is not continuous and not differentiable
So, $m=1$ where $y=|f(x)|$ not continuous
and $n=3$ where $|f(x)|$ is not differentiable.
Thus, $m+n=4$
Let $\mathrm{k}$ and $\mathrm{m}$ be positive real numbers such that the function $f(x)=\left\{\begin{array}{cc}3 x^{2}+k \sqrt{x+1}, & 0 < x < 1 \\ m x^{2}+k^{2}, & x \geq 1\end{array}\right.$ is differentiable for all $x > 0$. Then $\frac{8 f^{\prime}(8)}{f^{\prime}\left(\frac{1}{8}\right)}$ is equal to ____________.
Explanation:
$\because f(x)$ is differentiable at $x>0$
So, $f(x)$ is differentiable at $x=1$
$ \begin{gathered} f\left(1^{-}\right)=f(1)=f\left(1^{+}\right) \\\\ 3+k \sqrt{2}=m+k^2 ......(i) \end{gathered} $
$ \begin{aligned} & f^{\prime}\left(1^{-}\right)=f^{\prime}\left(1^{+}\right) \\\\ & 6(1)+\frac{k}{2 \sqrt{1+1}}=2 m(1) \\\\ & \Rightarrow 6+\frac{k}{2 \sqrt{2}}=2 m ......(ii) \end{aligned} $
Using (i) and (ii),
$ \begin{aligned} & 3+k \sqrt{2}=3+\frac{k}{4 \sqrt{2}}+k^2 \\\\ & \Rightarrow k^2+k\left[\frac{1}{4 \sqrt{2}}-\sqrt{2}\right]=0 \end{aligned} $
$ \Rightarrow k\left[k+\frac{1-8}{4 \sqrt{2}}\right]=0 \Rightarrow k=0, \frac{7}{4 \sqrt{2}} $
As the problem specifies k to be a positive real number, we can rule out k = 0. Hence, k = $\frac{7}{4 \sqrt{2}}$
$ \begin{aligned} & \text { for } k=\frac{7}{4 \sqrt{2}}, m=3+\frac{\frac{7}{4 \sqrt{2}}}{4 \sqrt{2}} \\\\ & =3+\frac{7}{32}=\frac{96+7}{32}=\frac{103}{32} \end{aligned} $
$ \text { So, } \frac{8 f^{\prime}(8)}{f^{\prime}\left(\frac{1}{8}\right)}=\frac{8 \times\left[2 \times \frac{103}{32} \times 8\right]}{6 \times \frac{1}{8}+\frac{7}{4 \sqrt{2}} \times 2 \sqrt{918}} $
$ =\frac{412}{\frac{3}{4}+\frac{7}{12}}=\frac{412}{\frac{9+7}{12}}=\frac{412 \times 12}{16}=309 $
Concept :
$f(x)$ is differentiable at $x=a$, if $f^{\prime}\left(a^{-}\right)=f'\left(a^{+}\right)$
Let $a \in \mathbb{Z}$ and $[\mathrm{t}]$ be the greatest integer $\leq \mathrm{t}$. Then the number of points, where the function $f(x)=[a+13 \sin x], x \in(0, \pi)$ is not differentiable, is __________.
Explanation:
Given that $ f(x) = [a + 13\sin(x)] $, where $[t]$ is the greatest integer function and $ x \in (0, \pi) $.
The function $[t]$ is not differentiable wherever $ t $ is an integer because at these points, the function has a jump discontinuity.
For $ f(x) $ to have a point of non-differentiability, the value inside the greatest integer function, i.e., $ a + 13\sin(x) $, should be an integer.
So, we need to find the values of $ x $ in the interval $ (0, \pi) $ for which $ a + 13\sin(x) $ is an integer.
Now, $ \sin(x) $ varies from 0 to 1 in the interval $ (0, \pi) $, so the maximum value of $ 13\sin(x) $ in this interval is 13.
For each integer value of $ 13\sin(x) $ between 0 and 13, we'll have a corresponding value of $ x $. There will be two such values of $ x $ for each value of $ 13\sin(x) $ (because of the periodic and symmetric nature of sine function over the interval $ (0, \pi) $), except for the maximum value, 13, which will have only one corresponding value of $ x $ (namely $ x = \frac{\pi}{2} $).
Thus, the total number of integer values of $ 13\sin(x) $ between 0 and 13 is 13. Excluding the maximum value, we have 12 integer values, each giving rise to two values of $ x $. Including the maximum value, which gives one value of $ x $, we have :
$ 12 \times 2 + 1 = 25 $
Thus, $ f(x) $ is not differentiable at 25 points in the interval $ (0, \pi) $.
If $[t]$ denotes the greatest integer $\leq t$, then the number of points, at which the function $f(x)=4|2 x+3|+9\left[x+\frac{1}{2}\right]-12[x+20]$ is not differentiable in the open interval $(-20,20)$, is __________.
Explanation:
$ =4|2 x+3|+9\left[x+\frac{1}{2}\right]-12[x]-240 $
$f(x)$ is non differentiable at $x=-\frac{3}{2}$
and $f(x)$ is discontinuous at $\{-19,-18, \ldots ., 18,19\}$
as well as $\left\{-\frac{39}{2},-\frac{37}{2}, \ldots,-\frac{3}{2},-\frac{1}{2}, \frac{1}{2}, \ldots, \frac{39}{2}\right\}$,
at same point they are also non differentiable
$ \begin{aligned} \therefore & \text { Total number of points of non differentiability } \\ &=39+40 \\ &=79 \end{aligned} $
Let $f:[0,1] \rightarrow \mathbf{R}$ be a twice differentiable function in $(0,1)$ such that $f(0)=3$ and $f(1)=5$. If the line $y=2 x+3$ intersects the graph of $f$ at only two distinct points in $(0,1)$, then the least number of points $x \in(0,1)$, at which $f^{\prime \prime}(x)=0$, is ____________.
Explanation:

If a graph cuts $y = 2x + 5$ in (0, 1) twice then its concavity changes twice.
$\therefore$ $f'(x) = 0$ at at least two points.
$\lim\limits_{x \rightarrow 0}\left(\frac{(x+2 \cos x)^{3}+2(x+2 \cos x)^{2}+3 \sin (x+2 \cos x)}{(x+2)^{3}+2(x+2)^{2}+3 \sin (x+2)}\right)^{\frac{100}{x}}$ is equal to ___________.
Explanation:
Let $x + 2\cos x = a$
$x + 2 = b$
as $x \to 0$, $a \to 2$ and $b \to 2$
$\mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to 0} {\left( {{{{a^3} + 2{a^2} + 3\sin a} \over {{b^3} + 2{b^2} + 3\sin b}}} \right)^{{{100} \over x}}}$
$ = {e^{\mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to 0} \,.\,{{100} \over x}\,.\,{{({a^3} - {b^3}) + 2({a^2} - {b^2}) + 3(\sin a - \sin b)} \over {{b^3} + 2{b^2} + 3\sin b}}}}$
$\because$ $\mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to 0} {{a - b} \over x} = \mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to 0} {{2(\cos x - 1)} \over x} = 0$
$ = {e^0}$
$ = 1$
Let $f(x)=\left\{\begin{array}{l}\left|4 x^{2}-8 x+5\right|, \text { if } 8 x^{2}-6 x+1 \geqslant 0 \\ {\left[4 x^{2}-8 x+5\right], \text { if } 8 x^{2}-6 x+1<0,}\end{array}\right.$ where $[\alpha]$ denotes the greatest integer less than or equal to $\alpha$. Then the number of points in $\mathbf{R}$ where $f$ is not differentiable is ___________.
Explanation:
$ = \begin{cases}4 x^{2}-8 x+5, & \text { if } x \in\left[-\infty, \frac{1}{4}\right] \cup\left[\frac{1}{2}, \infty\right) \\ {\left[4 x^{2}-8 x+5\right]} & \text { if } x \in\left(\frac{1}{4}, \frac{1}{2}\right)\end{cases} $
$f(x)=\left\{\begin{array}{cc} 4 x^2-8 x+5 & \text { if } x \in\left(-\infty, \frac{1}{4}\right] \cup\left[\frac{1}{2}, \infty\right) \\ 3 & x \in\left(\frac{1}{4}, \frac{2-\sqrt{2}}{2}\right) \\ 2 & x \in\left[\frac{2-\sqrt{2}}{2}, \frac{1}{2}\right) \end{array}\right.$

$\therefore \quad$ Non-diff at $x=\frac{1}{4}, \frac{2-\sqrt{2}}{2}, \frac{1}{2}$
Suppose $\mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to 0} {{F(x)} \over {{x^3}}}$ exists and is equal to L, where
$F(x) = \left| {\matrix{ {a + \sin {x \over 2}} & { - b\cos x} & 0 \cr { - b\cos x} & 0 & {a + \sin {x \over 2}} \cr 0 & {a + \sin {x \over 2}} & { - b\cos x} \cr } } \right|$.
Then, $-$112 L is equal to ___________.
Explanation:
Given,
$F(x) = \left| {\matrix{ {a + \sin {x \over 2}} & { - b\cos x} & 0 \cr { - b\cos x} & 0 & {a + \sin {x \over 2}} \cr 0 & {a + \sin {x \over 2}} & { - b\cos x} \cr } } \right|$
$ = \left( {a + \sin {x \over 2}} \right)\left( { - {{\left( {a + \sin {x \over 2}} \right)}^2}} \right) + b\cos x \times {b^2}{\cos ^2}x$
$ = - {\left( {a + \sin {x \over 2}} \right)^3} - {b^3}{\cos ^3}x$
Now,
$\mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to 0} {{F(x)} \over {{x^3}}}$
$ = \mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to 0} {{ - {{\left( {a + \sin {x \over 2}} \right)}^3} - {b^3}{{\cos }^3}x} \over {{x^3}}}$
Given limit exists, it only possible when a = 0 and b = 0.
$ = \mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to 0} {{ - {{\left( {\sin {x \over 2}} \right)}^3}} \over {{x^3}}}$
$ = \mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to 0} - {\left( {{1 \over 2} \times \left( {{{\sin {x \over 2}} \over {{x \over 2}}}} \right)} \right)^3}$
$ = \mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to 0} - {\left( {{1 \over 2}} \right)^3} \times {\left( {{{\sin {x \over 2}} \over {{x \over 2}}}} \right)^3}$
$ = - {1 \over 8} \times 1 = L$
$\therefore$ $ - 112L = - 112 \times - {1 \over 8} = 14$
If $\mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to 1} {{\sin (3{x^2} - 4x + 1) - {x^2} + 1} \over {2{x^3} - 7{x^2} + ax + b}} = - 2$, then the value of (a $-$ b) is equal to ___________.
Explanation:
So $f(x)=2 x^{3}-7 x^{2}+a x+b=0$ has $x=1$ as repeated root, therefore $f(1)=0$ and $f^{\prime}(1)=0$ gives
$ a+b+5 \text { and } a=8 $
So, $a-b=11$
Let [t] denote the greatest integer $\le$ t and {t} denote the fractional part of t. The integral value of $\alpha$ for which the left hand limit of the function
$f(x) = [1 + x] + {{{\alpha ^{2[x] + {\{x\}}}} + [x] - 1} \over {2[x] + \{ x\} }}$ at x = 0 is equal to $\alpha - {4 \over 3}$, is _____________.
Explanation:
$f(x) = [1 + x] + {{{a^{2[x] + \{ x\} }} + [x] - 1} \over {2[x] + \{ x\} }}$
$\mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to {0^ - }} f(x) = \alpha - {4 \over 3}$
$ \Rightarrow \mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to {0^ - }} 1 + [x] + {{{\alpha ^{x + [x]}} + [x] - 1} \over {x + [x]}} = \alpha - {4 \over 3}$
$ \Rightarrow \mathop {\lim }\limits_{h \to {0^ - }} 1 - 1 + {{{\alpha ^{ - h - 1}} - 1 - 1} \over { - h - 1}} = \alpha - {4 \over 3}$
$\therefore$ ${{{\alpha ^{ - 1}} - 2} \over { - 1}} = \alpha - {4 \over 3}$
$ \Rightarrow 3{\alpha ^2} - 10\alpha + 3 = 0$
$\therefore$ $\alpha = 3$ or ${1 \over 3}$
$\because$ $\alpha$ in integer, hence $\alpha$ = 3
Let $f(x) = \left[ {2{x^2} + 1} \right]$ and $g(x) = \left\{ {\matrix{ {2x - 3,} & {x < 0} \cr {2x + 3,} & {x \ge 0} \cr } } \right.$, where [t] is the greatest integer $\le$ t. Then, in the open interval ($-$1, 1), the number of points where fog is discontinuous is equal to ______________.
Explanation:
$ =\left\{\begin{array}{l} {\left[2(2 x-3)^2\right]+1 ; x<0} \\ {\left[2(2 x+3)^2\right]+1 ; x \geq 0} \end{array}\right. $
$\therefore$ fog is discontinuous whenever $2(2 x-3)^2$ or $2(2 x+3)^2$ belongs to integer except $x=0$
$\therefore 62$ points of discontinuity.
The number of points where the function
$f(x) = \left\{ {\matrix{ {|2{x^2} - 3x - 7|} & {if} & {x \le - 1} \cr {[4{x^2} - 1]} & {if} & { - 1 < x < 1} \cr {|x + 1| + |x - 2|} & {if} & {x \ge 1} \cr } } \right.$
[t] denotes the greatest integer $\le$ t, is discontinuous is _____________.
Explanation:
For $x \in(-1,1),\left(4 x^{2}-1\right) \in[-1,3)$
hence $f(x)$ will be discontinuous at $x=1$ and also
whenever $4 x^{2}-1=0,1$ or 2
$ \Rightarrow x=\pm \frac{1}{2}, \pm \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \text { and } \pm \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} $
So there are total 7 points of discontinuity.
Explanation:
$\mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to 1} {{{x^n}f(1) - f(x)} \over {x - 1}} = 44$
$\mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to 1} {{9{x^n} - ({x^6} + 2{x^4} + {x^3} + 2x + 3)} \over {x - 1}} = 44$
$\mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to 1} {{9n{x^{n - 1}} - (6{x^5} + 8{x^3} + 3{x^2} + 2)} \over 1} = 44$
$\Rightarrow$ 9n $-$ (19) = 44
$\Rightarrow$ 9n = 63
$\Rightarrow$ n = 7
Explanation:
$f\left( x \right) = \left\{ {\matrix{ { - 2\left| {{x^2} - 1} \right| + 1,} & { - 2 < x < - 1} \cr { - \left| {{x^2} - 1} \right| + 1,} & { - 1 \le x < 0} \cr {\sin {\pi \over 3} + 1,} & {0 \le x < 1} \cr {\left| {{x^2} - 1} \right| + {1 \over {\sqrt 2 }} - 2,} & {1 \le x < 2} \cr } } \right.$
$ \therefore $ at x = -1, $\mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to - {1^ - }} f\left( x \right) = 1$ and $\mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to - {1^ + }} f\left( x \right) = 1$
Hence continuous at x = –1
Similarly check at x = 0,
$\mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to {0^ - }} f\left( x \right) = - 1$ and $\mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to {0^ + }} f\left( x \right) = 1 + {{\sqrt 3 } \over 2}$
So, f(x) discontinuous and at x = 0
$\mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to {1^ - }} f\left( x \right) = 1 + {{\sqrt 3 } \over 2}$ and $\mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to {1^ + }} f\left( x \right) = {1 \over {\sqrt 2 }} - 2$
So, f(x) discontinuous and at x = 1
Hence 2 points of discontinuity.
$f(x) = \left\{ {\matrix{ {a\sin {\pi \over 2}(x - 1),} & {for\,x \le 0} \cr {{{\tan 2x - \sin 2x} \over {b{x^3}}},} & {for\,x > 0} \cr } } \right.$.
If f is continuous at x = 0, then 10 $-$ ab is equal to ________________.
Explanation:
For continuity at '0'
$\mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to {0^ + }} f(x) = f(0)$
$ \Rightarrow \mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to {0^ + }} {{\tan 2x - \sin 2x} \over {b{x^3}}} = - a$
$ \Rightarrow \mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to {0^ + }} {{{{8{x^3}} \over 3} + {{8{x^3}} \over {3!}}} \over {b{x^3}}} = - a$
$ \Rightarrow 8\left( {{1 \over 3} + {1 \over {3!}}} \right) = - ab$
$ \Rightarrow 4 = - ab$
$ \Rightarrow 10 - ab = 14$
Explanation:

1 $-$ {x} = 1 $-$ x; 0 $\le$ x < 1

Non differentiable at
$x = {1 \over 2},1,{3 \over 2},2,{5 \over 2}$
where P(x) is a polynomial such that P'' (x) is always a constant and P(3) = 9. If f(x) is continuous at x = 2, then P(5) is equal to _____________.
Explanation:
P''(x) = const. $\Rightarrow$ P(x) is a 2 degree polynomial
f(x) is cont. at x = 2
f(2+) = f(2$-$)
$\mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to {2^ + }} {{P(x)} \over {\sin (x - 2)}} = 7$
$\mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to {2^ + }} {{(x - 2)(ax + b)} \over {\sin (x - 2)}} = 7 \Rightarrow 2a + b = 7$
P(x) = (x $-$ 2)(ax + b)
P(3) = (3 $-$ 2)(3a + b) = 9 $\Rightarrow$ 3a + b = 9
a = 2, b = 3
P(5) = (5 $-$ 2)(2.5 + 3) = 3.13 = 39
Let g : R $\to$ R be given by $g(x) = f(x + 2) - f(x - 2)$. If n and m denote the number of points in R where g is not continuous and not differentiable, respectively, then n + m is equal to ______________.
Explanation:
$f(x) = \left\{ {\matrix{ {3\left( {{{1 - \left| x \right|} \over 2}} \right)} & {if\,\left| x \right| \le 2} \cr 0 & {if\,\left| x \right| > 2} \cr } } \right.$
$g(x) = f(x + 2) - f(x - 2)$
$f(x) = \left\{ {\matrix{ {0,} & {x < - 2} \cr {{3 \over 2}(1 + x),} & { - 2 \le x < 0} \cr {{3 \over 2}(1 - x),} & {0 \le x < 2} \cr {0,} & {x > 2} \cr } } \right.$
$f(x + 2) = \left\{ {\matrix{ {0,} & {x < - 4} \cr {{3 \over 2}( 3 + x),} & { - 4 \le x < - 2} \cr {{3 \over 2}( - 1 - x),} & { - 2 \le x < 0} \cr {0,} & {x > 4} \cr } } \right.$
$f(x - 2) = \left\{ {\matrix{ {0,} & {x < 0} \cr {{3 \over 2}(x - 1),} & {0 \le x < 2} \cr {{3 \over 2}( - 1 - x),} & {2 \le x < 4} \cr {0,} & {x > 4} \cr } } \right.$
$g(x) = f(x + 2) + f(x - 2)$
$ = \left\{ {\matrix{ {{{3x} \over 2} + 6,} & { - 4 \le x \le 2} \cr { - {{3x} \over 2},} & { - 2 < x < 2} \cr {{{3x} \over 2} - 6,} & {2 \le x \le 4} \cr {0,} & {\left| x \right| > 4} \cr } } \right.$
So, n = 0 and m = 4
$\therefore$ m + n = 4
$g(x) = \left\{ {\matrix{ {\mathop {\max }\limits_{0 \le t \le x} \{ {t^3} - 6{t^2} + 9t - 3),} & {0 \le x \le 3} \cr {4 - x,} & {3 < x \le 4} \cr } } \right.$, then the number of points in the interval (0, 4) where g(x) is NOT differentiable, is ____________.
Explanation:
$f(x) = 3{x^2} - 12x + 9 = 3(x - 1)(x - 3)$
$f(1) = 1$, $f(3) = 3$
$g(x) = \left[ {\matrix{ {f(9x)} & {0 \le x \le 1} \cr 0 & {1 \le x \le 3} \cr { - 1} & {3 < x \le 4} \cr } } \right.$
g(x) is continuous
$g'(x) = \left[ {\matrix{ {3(x - 1)(x - 3)} & {0 \le x \le 1} \cr 0 & {1 \le x \le 3} \cr { - 1} & {3 < x \le 4} \cr } } \right.$
g(x) is non-differentiable at x = 3
