Yes the given composite function is a constant function. 

f(x) = [x] GIF

g(x)= x-[x] = {x} Fractional part function 

GoF = {[x]} 

We know [x] always give integer, and we also that fractional part of integer is 0.

Hence gof always give 0 as answer. 

f(x) = [x], g(x)  = x-[x]

(gof) (x) = g(f(x)) = f[x] = [x] - [[x]]

 = [x] - [x]

 = 0

Hence, gof is a zero function which is a constant function.

Y = \(\cfrac{x^2\,sin\,x}{(1+x^2)^2\sqrt{1+x}}\)

\(\therefore\) \(\cfrac{dy}{dx}\) = \(\frac{(1+x^2)^2\sqrt{1+x}\frac{d}{dx}(x^2sin\,x)-x^2\,sin\,x\frac{d}{dx}[(1+x^2)^2\sqrt{1+x}]}{(1+x^2)^4(1+x)}\) 

= (1 + x²)² \(\sqrt{1+x}\) (x² cos x + 2 x sin x)

- \(\frac{x^2\,sin\,x((\frac{(1+x^2)^2}{2\sqrt{1+x}}+4x(1+x^2)\sqrt{1+x})}{(1+x^2)^4(1+x)}\)

= \(\frac{2(1+x^2)^2({1+x)}(x^2cos\,x+2x\,sin\,x)]-x^2sin\,x((1+x^2)^2+8x(1+x)(1+x^2))}{(1+x^2)^4(1+x)}\)

= \(\frac{x(1+x^2)2(1+x^2)(1+x)(x\,cos\,x+2sinx)-xsinx(1+x^2+8x(1+x)}{(1+x^2)^4)(1+x)}\) 

= \(\frac{x(2(1+x^2)(1+x)(x\,cosx+2sinx)-xsinx(9x^2+8x+1))}{(1+x^2)^3(1+x)}\)

(b) Hindustan Shipyard at Visakhapatnam

pcr polymerase chain reaction

Given:

Time taken by A and B = 6 days

Time taken by A = 10 days

Formula used:

Total work = Time taken × Efficiency

Calculation:

L.C.M of (6 and 10) = 30 = Total work

Efficiency of A and B = 30/6 = 5 units/day

Efficiency of B = 30/10 = 3 units/day

Efficiency of B = (5 – 3) units/day

⇒ 2 units/day

Time taken by B = 30/2 days

⇒ 15 days

∴ B will complete the work in 15 days.

Correct option is D) In spite of

Side of garden = x

Area of the pavement Area of the pavement

Area of the pavement Side of garden

including pavement = x + 4 (1)

Area of the pavement = (x + 4)² - x² = 116

x² + 8x + 16 – x² = 116

8x + 16 = 116,

\(x=\frac{116-16}{8}=12.5\)m

Side of garden = 12.5m

Let x be the width of rectangle

length = x + 4 cm

x(x + 4) = 140

x² – 4 x – 140 = 0

\(x=\frac{4\pm \sqrt{16+560}}{2}=\frac{-4\,\pm\,24}{2}=10,-14\)

width =10 cm 

length = 14 cm
