30. Let $f:-\frac{1}{2}, 2 \rightarrow R$ and $g:-\frac{1}{2}, 2 \rightarrow R$ be functions defined by $f(x)=\left[x^{2}-3\right]$ and $g(x) \neq x|f(x)+| 4 x-7 \mid f(x)$, where $[y]$ denotes the greatest integer less than or equal to $y$ for $y \in R$. Then,

(2016 Adv.)

(a) $f$ is discontinuous exactly at three points in $-\frac{1}{2}, 2$

(b) $f$ is discontinuous exactly at four points in $-\frac{1}{2}, 2$

Correct Answer: 30. $(A) \rightarrow p$; (B) $\rightarrow r$

Solution:

  1. Given, $x=\sec \theta-\cos \theta$ and $y=\sec ^{n} \theta-\cos ^{n} \theta$ On differentiating w.r.t. $\theta$ respectively, we get

$$ \frac{d x}{d \theta}=\sec \theta \tan \theta+\sin \theta $$

$$ \begin{aligned} & \text { and } \frac{d y}{d \theta}=n \sec ^{n-1} \theta \cdot \sec \theta \tan \theta-n \cos ^{n-1} \theta \cdot(-\sin \theta) \\ & \Rightarrow \quad \frac{d x}{d \theta}=\tan \theta(\sec \theta+\cos \theta) \\ & \text { and } \frac{d y}{d \theta}=n \tan \theta\left(\sec ^{n} \theta+\cos ^{n} \theta\right) \\ & \Rightarrow \quad \frac{d y}{d x}=\frac{n\left(\sec ^{n} \theta+\cos ^{n} \theta\right)}{\sec \theta+\cos \theta} \\ & \therefore \quad \frac{d y}{d x}{ }^{2}=\frac{n^{2}\left(\sec ^{n} \theta+\cos ^{n} \theta\right)^{2}}{(\sec \theta+\cos \theta)^{2}} \\ & =\frac{n^{2}{\left(\sec ^{n} \theta-\cos ^{n} \theta\right)^{2}+4 }}{{(\sec \theta-\cos \theta)^{2}+4 }}=\frac{n^{2}\left(y^{2}+4\right)}{\left(x^{2}+4\right)} \\ & \Rightarrow\left(x^{2}+4\right) \frac{d y}{d x}{ }^{2}=n^{2}\left(y^{2}+4\right) \\ & \text { 31. Let } \varphi(x)=\left|\begin{array}{ccc} A(x) & B(x) & C(x) \\ A(\alpha) & B(\alpha) & C(\alpha) \\ A^{\prime}(\alpha) & B^{\prime}(\alpha) & C^{\prime}(\alpha) \end{array}\right| \end{aligned} $$

Given that, $\alpha$ is repeated root of quadratic equation $f(x)=0$.

$\therefore$ We must have $f(x)=(x-\alpha)^{2} \cdot g(x)$

$$ \begin{array}{ll} \therefore & \varphi^{\prime}(x)=\left|\begin{array}{ccc} A^{\prime}(x) & B^{\prime}(x) & C^{\prime}(x) \\ A(\alpha) & B(\alpha) & C^{\prime}(\alpha) \\ A^{\prime}(\alpha) & B^{\prime}(\alpha) & C^{\prime}(\alpha) \end{array}\right| \\ \Rightarrow & \varphi^{\prime}(\alpha)=\left|\begin{array}{ccc} A^{\prime}(\alpha) & B^{\prime}(\alpha) & C^{\prime}(\alpha) \\ A(\alpha) & B(\alpha) & C(\alpha) \\ A^{\prime}(\alpha) & B^{\prime}(\alpha) & C^{\prime}(\alpha) \end{array}\right|=0 \end{array} $$

$\Rightarrow \quad x=\alpha$ is root of $\varphi^{\prime}(x)$.

$$ \Rightarrow \quad(x-\alpha) \text { is a factor of } \varphi^{\prime}(x) \text { also. } $$

or we can say $(x-\alpha)^{2}$ is a factor of $f(x)$.

$$ \Rightarrow \quad \varphi(x) \text { is divisible by } f(x) \text {. } $$
