1.

If f(x) = x3 – (1/x3), then f(x) + f(1/x) is equal to

(a) 2x3

(b) 2/x3

(c) 0

(d) 1

Correct option: (c) 0

Solution:

Given,

F(x) = x3 – (1/x3)

Now,

F(1/x) = (1/x)3 – 1/(1/x)3

= (1/x3) – x3

Thus, f(x) + f(1/x) = x3 – (1/x3) + (1/x3) – x3 = 0


2. Let n (A) = m, and n (B) = n. Then the total number of non-empty relations that can be defined
from A to B is

(a) Mn

(b) Nm – 1

(c) Mn – 1

(d) 2mn – 1

Correct option: (d) 2mn – 1

Solution:

Given,

N(A) = m and n(B) = n

We know that,

N(A x B) = n(A). N(B) = mn

Total number of relations from A to B = Number of subsets of A x B = 2mn

So, the total number of non-empty relations from A to B = 2mn – 1.

3. If f(x) = x2 + 2, x ∈ R, then the range of f(x) is


(a) [2, ∞)

(b) (-∞, 2]

(c) (2, ∞)

(d) (-∞, 2) U (2, ∞)

Correct option: (a) [2, ∞)

Solution:

Given,

F(x) = x2 + 2

We know that the square of any number is positive, i.e. greater than or equal to 0.

So, x2 ≥ 0

Adding 2 on both sides,

X2 + 2 ≥ 0 + 2

F(x) ≥ 2
Therefore, f(x) range is [2, ∞).

4. What will be the domain for which the functions f(x) = 2x2 – 1 and g(x) = 1 – 3x are equal?

(a) {-2, 1}

(b) {1/2, -2}

(c) [2, 12]

(d) (-1, 2)

Correct option: (b) {1/2, -2}

Solution:

Given,

F(x) = 2x2 – 1

G(x) = 1 – 3x

Now,

F(x) = g(x)

⇒ 2x2 – 1 = 1 – 3x
⇒ 2x2 + 3x – 2 = 0

⇒ 2x2 + 4x – x – 2 = 0

⇒ 2x(x + 2) – 1(x + 2) = 0

⇒ (2x – 1) (x + 2) = 0

Thus the domain for which the function f (x) = g (x) is {1/2, -2}.

5. If [x]2 – 5 [x] + 6 = 0, where [ . ] denotes the greatest integer function, then

(a) X ∈ [3, 4]

(b) X ∈ (2, 3]

(c) X ∈ [2, 3]

(d) X ∈ [2, 4)

Correct option: (d) x ∈ [2, 4)

Solution:

Given,
[x]2 – 5 [x] + 6 = 0, where [ . ] denotes the greatest integer function.

[x]2 – 5[x] + 6 = 0

[x]2 – 2[x] – 3[x] + 6 = 0

[x]([x – 2) – 3([x] – 2) = 0

([x] – 2)([x] – 3) = 0

When [x] = 2, 2 ≤ x < 3

When [x] = 3, 3 ≤ x < 4

From the above, x ∈ [2, 4).

6. If f(x) = ax + b, where a and b are integers, f(–1) = – 5 and f(3) = 3, then a and b are equal to

(a) A = – 3, b = –1

(b) A = 2, b = – 3

(c) A = 0, b = 2

(d) A = 2, b = 3

Correct option: (b) a = 2, b = – 3

Solution:

Given,
F(x) = ax + b

And

F(-1) = -5

A(-1) + b = -5

-a + b = -5….(i)

Also, f(3) = 3

A(3) + b = 3

3a + b = 3….(ii)

From (i) and (ii),

A = 2, b = -3

7. The domain of the function f(x) = x/(x2 + 3x + 2) is

(a) [-2, -1]

(b) R – {1, 2}

(c) R – {-1, -2}


(d) R – {2}

Correct option: (c) R – {-1, -2}

Solution:

Given f(x) is a rational function of the form g(x)/h(x), where g(x) = x and h(x) = x2 + 3x + 2.

Now h(x) ≠ 0

⇒ x2 + 3x + 2 ≠ 0

⇒ x2 + x + 2x + 2 ≠ 0

⇒ x(x + 2) + 2(x + 1)

⇒ (x + 1) (x + 2) ≠ 0

⇒ x ≠ -1, x ≠ -2

Therefore, the domain of the given function is R – {– 1, – 2}.

8. The range of f(x) = √(25 – x2) is

(a) (0, 5)

(b) [0, 5]
(c) (-5, 5)

(d) [1, 5]

Correct option: (b) [0, 5]

Solution:

Given,

F(x) = √(25 – x2)

The domain of f(x) is [-5, 5] since the given function is defined only when (25 – x2) ≥ 0.

Let y = √(25 – x2)

Y2 = 25 – x2

Or x2 = 25 – y2

Since x ∈ [– 5, 5], the range of f(x) is [0, 5].

9. The domain and range of the real function f defined by f(x) = (4 – x)/(x – 4) is given by

(a) Domain = R, Range = {–1, 1}


(b) Domain = R – {1}, Range = R

(c) Domain = R – {4}, Range = {– 1}

(d) Domain = R – {– 4}, Range = {–1, 1}

Correct option: (c) Domain = R – {4}, Range = {– 1}

Solution:

To find the domain, consider the denominator ≠ 0

(x – 4) ≠ 0

X≠4

So, domain = R – {4}

Now,

F(x) = (4 – x)/(x – 4)

= -1(x – 4)/(x – 4)

= -1

Therefore, the range of f(x) = -1.


10. The domain and range of the function f given by f(x) = 2 – |x −5| is

(a) Domain = R+ , Range = ( – ∞, 1]

(b) Domain = R, Range = ( – ∞, 2]

(c) Domain = R, Range = (– ∞, 2)

(d) Domain = R+ , Range = (– ∞, 2]

Correct option: (b) Domain = R, Range = ( – ∞, 2]

Solution:

Given,

F(x) = 2 – |x – 5|

Now x is defined for all real numbers.

Hence the domain of f is R.

To find the range, consider |x – 5| ≥ 0

Or
-|x – 5| ≤ 0

Adding 2 on both sides,

2 – |x – 5| ≤ 2

⇒ f(x) ≤ 2

Hence, the range of f(x) is (-∞, 2]
