14. (a) Note: Discarte's Rule of Signs 18. (a) f ( x ) = 3x + | x |
No equation can have more +ve real roots
than it has changes of sign from +ve to \ f (2 x) - f (- x ) - 6x

And similarly, number of –ve roots of f(x) = 6x + | 2x | -3(- x )- | - x | -cx
can not more than the number of changes of

19. (d) Q| a - a |= 0 < Þ aR/ a , so, relation is
Here, f(x) has four changes of sign. So the 2
equation can not have more than four not reflexive
positive roots. And f(–x) has no changes of 1 1

So, aRa Þ bRa , i.e the relation is

Let f (x) = y = x2 – 6x + 7 or ³ 0 or ³0

f (x) =

When x < 0 (– ve) then | – x | > – x x – [x] > 0
i.e., x > – x which is true. Thus x > [x], this is possible for all real value
of x except the integers.
When x > 0 ( + ve) then | x | > x
So Domain of the function is all Real no.
i.e., x > x which is not true. except integers.

Multiply by – ve, we get is positive.
If -1 < x £ 0 , the above inequality still holds.

If 0 < x < 1 , then
Add 2 on each side
