Following is the graph of y = f'(x) and f(0) = 0 . (a) What type of function y = f'(x) is ? Odd or even? (b) What type of function y = f(x) is ? Odd or even? (c) What is the value of int_(-a)^(a) f(x) dx? (d) Has y = f(x) point of inflection? (e) What is the nature of y = f(x)? Monotonic or non-monotonic?

Answer»

Solution :(a) The graph ofy = f'(x) is symmetrical about the y-axis, so f(x) is an even FUNCTION.
(b) f(0) = 0, so f(x) is an odd function [derivative of an odd function is even].
(c) Asf(x) is odd, so `UNDERSET(-a)overset(a) int f(x) dx = 0`
(d) `f''(x) gt 0 as x lt 0 and f''(x) lt 0 "as " x gt 0`. THEREFORE, x = 0 is the point of INFLEXION.
(e) ` f'(x) le 0, forallx,` so f(x) is always decreasing.

Let the nine different lettersA, B, C… I in {1, 2, 3, …, 9}. Then find the probability that product (A - 1)(B - 1) … (I - 9) is an even number.

Answer»


Solution :Given set of NUMBER is {1, 2, ……, 9} in which 4 are EVEN and 5 are odd, so in the given product it is not possible to arrange to substract only even number from odd number, there must be at least one factor involving substraction of an odd number from another odd number. So at least one of the factor is even. Hence, product is ALWAYS even.
`THEREFORE` Required probability = 1
