Consider the function f(x)= `{{:((x+5)/(x-2),"if " xne 2),(" 1", "if " x=2):}` . Then f(f(x)) is discontinuousA. at all real numbersB. at excatly two values of xC. at ecactly one value of xD. at exactly three values of x

Answer» Correct Answer - B
discontinuous at x=2
`f(f(x))=f((x+5)/(x-2))`
`(((x+5)/(x-2)+5))/(((x+5)/(x-2)-2))=(6x-5)/(-x+9)`
`(6x-5)/(9-x)`
At x=9 it is discontinuous

The value of the limit `lim_(x to -oo) (sqrt(4x^(2) - x )+2x)` isA. `-oo`B. `-(1)/(4)`C. 0D. `(1)/(4)`

Answer» Correct Answer - D
Rationalise
` lim_(x to -oo) ((sqrt(4x^(2) - x) + 2x) xx (sqrt(4x^(2) - x) - 2x)/(sqrt(4x^(2) -x)- 2x))`
`lim_(x to -oo) ((-x)/(|x|sqrt(4 - (1)/(x)) - 2x)) "at" x to -oo |x| = - x `
`lim_(x to -oo) ((-x)/(|x|sqrt(4 - (1)/(x)) - 2x)) = (1)/(2+ 2) = (1)/(4)`

The number of solutions to the equations `cos^(4)x+(1)/(cos^(2)x)=sin^(4)x+(1)/(sin^(2)x)` in the interval `[0,2pi]` isA. 6B. 4C. 2D. 0

Answer» Correct Answer - B
`cos^(4)x-sin^(4)x=(1)/(sin^(4)x)-(1)/(cos^(2)x)`
`(cos^(2)x-sin^(2)x)=((cos^(2)x-sin^(2)x))/(sin^(2)xcos^(2)x)`
`cos2x=(4cos2x)/(sin^(2)2x)`
`cos 2x=(1-4"cosec"^(2)2x)=0`
`cos 2x=0`
`2x=2npi+-(pi)/(2)`
`x=npi+-(4)/(pi)`
At `n=0,x=(pi)/(4)`
`n=1, n=(5pi)/(4),(3pi)/(4)`
`n=2 ,x=(7pi)/(4)`
