Q131
The function f(x)=xx26x16,xR{2,8}f(x)=\dfrac{x}{x^2-6 x-16}, x \in \mathbb{R}-\{-2,8\}
A decreases in (,2)(2,8)(8,)(-\infty,-2) \cup(-2,8) \cup(8, \infty)
B increases in (,2)(2,8)(8,)(-\infty,-2) \cup(-2,8) \cup(8, \infty)
C decreases in (2,8)(-2,8) and increases in (,2)(8,)(-\infty,-2) \cup(8, \infty)
D decreases in (,2)(-\infty,-2) and increases in (8,)(8, \infty)
Correct Answer
Option A
Solution
f(x)=xx26x16f(x)=\frac{x}{x^2-6 x-16}

Now,

\begin{aligned} & \mathrm{f}^{\prime}(\mathrm{x})=\frac{-\left(\mathrm{x}^2+16\right)}{\left(\mathrm{x}^2-6 \mathrm{x}-16\right)^2} \\ & \mathrm{f}^{\prime}(\mathrm{x}) Thus

f(x)

isdecreasinginis decreasing in

(-\infty,-2) \cup(-2,8) \cup(8, \infty)$$

Q132
If the tangent at the point (x1, y1) on the curve y=x3+3x2+5y = {x^3} + 3{x^2} + 5 passes through the origin, then (x1, y1) does NOT lie on the curve :
A x2+y281=2{x^2} + {{{y^2}} \over {81}} = 2
B y29x2=8{{{y^2}} \over 9} - {x^2} = 8
C y=4x2+5y = 4{x^2} + 5
D x3y2=2{x \over 3} - {y^2} = 2
Correct Answer
Option D
Solution

Given curve,

y=x3+3x2+5y = {x^3} + 3{x^2} + 5

Slope of tangent,

dydx=3x2+6x{{dy} \over {dx}} = 3{x^2} + 6x

Slope of line joined by (x1, y1) and (0, 0) is

=y00x10= {{{y_0} - 0} \over {{x_1} - 0}}

\therefore

y1x1=3x12+6x1{{{y_1}} \over {{x_1}}} = 3x_1^2 + 6{x_1}
y1=3x13+6x12\Rightarrow {y_1} = 3x_1^3 + 6x_1^2

...... (1) Point (x1, y1) is on the line, \therefore

y1=x13+3x12+5{y_1} = x_1^3 + 3x_1^2 + 5

..... (2) \therefore

3x13+6x12=x13+3x12+63x_1^3 + 6x_1^2 = x_1^3 + 3x_1^2 + 6
2x13+3x125=0\Rightarrow 2x_1^3 + 3x_1^2 - 5 = 0

x = 1 satisfy the equation Now,

y1=x13+3x12+5{y_1} = x_1^3 + 3x_1^2 + 5
=1+3+5= 1 + 3 + 5
=9= 9

\therefore (x1, y1) = (1, 9) Option D does not satisfy point (1, 9).

Q133
The sum of absolute maximum and absolute minimum values of the function f(x)=2x2+3x2+sinxcosxf(x) = |2{x^2} + 3x - 2| + \sin x\cos x in the interval [0, 1] is :
A 3+sin(1)cos2(12)23 + {{\sin (1){{\cos }^2}\left( {{1 \over 2}} \right)} \over 2}
B 3+12(1+2cos(1))sin(1)3 + {1 \over 2}(1 + 2\cos (1))\sin (1)
C 5+12(sin(1)+sin(2))5 + {1 \over 2}(\sin (1) + \sin (2))
D 2+sin(12)cos(12)2 + \sin \left( {{1 \over 2}} \right)\cos \left( {{1 \over 2}} \right)
Correct Answer
Option B
Solution

f(x)=(2x1)(x+2)+sin2x2f(x)=|(2 x-1)(x+2)|+\dfrac{\sin 2 x}{2} 0x00 \leq x0 So, minima occurs at x=12x=\dfrac{1}{2}

f(x)min=2(12)2+322+sin(12)cos(12)=12sin1\begin{aligned} \left.f(x)\right|_{\min } &=\left|2\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^{2}+\frac{3}{2}-2\right|+\sin \left(\frac{1}{2}\right) \cdot \cos \left(\frac{1}{2}\right) \\\\ &=\frac{1}{2} \sin 1 \end{aligned}

So, maxima is possible at x=0x=0 or x=1x=1 Now checking for x=0x=0 and x=1x=1, we can see it attains its maximum value at x=1x=1

f(x)max=2+32+sin22=3+12sin2\begin{aligned} \left.f(x)\right|_{\max }=&|2+3-2|+\frac{\sin 2}{2} \\\\ &=3+\frac{1}{2} \sin 2 \end{aligned}

Sum of absolute maximum and minimum value =3+12(sin1+sin2)=3+\dfrac{1}{2}(\sin 1+\sin 2) =3+12(sin1+2sin1cos1)=3+\dfrac{1}{2}(\sin 1+2\sin 1\cos 1) =

3+12(1+2cos(1))sin(1)3 + {1 \over 2}(1 + 2\cos (1))\sin (1)
Q134
If xy4 attains maximum value at the point (x, y) on the line passing through the points (50 + α\alpha, 0) and (0, 50 + α\alpha), α\alpha > 0, then (x, y) also lies on the line :
A y = 4x
B x = 4y
C y = 4x + α\alpha
D x = 4y - α\alpha
Correct Answer
Option A
Solution

Equation of line passing through the point (50 + α\alpha, 0) and (0, 50 + α\alpha) is

y0=50+α00(50+α)(x(50+α))y - 0 = {{50 + \alpha - 0} \over {0 - (50 + \alpha )}}\left( {x - (50 + \alpha )} \right)
y=1(x(50+α))\Rightarrow y = - 1\left( {x - (50 + \alpha )} \right)
y=(50+α)x\Rightarrow y = (50 + \alpha ) - x
x+y=50+α\Rightarrow x + y = 50 + \alpha

Let

p=xy4p = x{y^4}
=(50+αy)y4= (50 + \alpha - y){y^4}
=(50+α)y4y5= (50 + \alpha ){y^4} - {y^5}

For maximum or minimum value of p,

dpdy=0{{dp} \over {dy}} = 0
4y3(50+α)5y4=0\Rightarrow 4{y^3}(50 + \alpha ) - 5{y^4} = 0
y3[200+4α5y]=0\Rightarrow {y^3}[200 + 4\alpha - 5y] = 0

\therefore

y=0y = 0

or

200+4α5y=0200 + 4\alpha - 5y = 0
y=45(50+α)\Rightarrow y = {4 \over 5}(50 + \alpha )

\therefore

x=50+αyx = 50 + \alpha - y
=50+α45(50+α)= 50 + \alpha - {4 \over 5}(50 + \alpha )
=50+α(145)= 50 + \alpha \left( {1 - {4 \over 5}} \right)
=15(50+α)= {1 \over 5}(50 + \alpha )
4x=45(50+α)=y\Rightarrow 4x = {4 \over 5}(50 + \alpha ) = y
y=4x\Rightarrow y = 4x

\therefore (x, y) lies on the line y = 4x

Q135
Let f(x)=4x311x2+8x5,xRf(x) = 4{x^3} - 11{x^2} + 8x - 5,\,x \in R. Then f :
A has a local minina at x=12x = {1 \over 2}
B has a local minima at x=34x = {3 \over 4}
C is increasing in (12,34)\left( {{1 \over 2},{3 \over 4}} \right)
D is decreasing in (12,43)\left( {{1 \over 2},{4 \over 3}} \right)
Correct Answer
Option D
Solution

Given,

f(x)=4x311x2+8x5f(x) = 4{x^3} - 11{x^2} + 8x - 5

\therefore

f(x)=12x222x+8f'(x) = 12{x^2} - 22x + 8
=2(6x211x+4)= 2(6{x^2} - 11x + 4)
=2(6x28x3x+4)= 2(6{x^2} - 8x - 3x + 4)
=2[2x(3x4)1(3x4)]= 2\left[ {2x(3x - 4) - 1(3x - 4)} \right]
=2[(3x4)(2x1)]= 2\left[ {(3x - 4)(2x - 1)} \right]
f(x)f'(x)

is positive before

12{1 \over 2}

means slope of f(x) is positive before

12{1 \over 2}

and f'(x) is negative after

12{1 \over 2}

means slope of f(x) is negative after

12{1 \over 2}

. \therefore At

12{1 \over 2}

, f(x) is local maximum Also,

f(x)f'(x)

is negative before

43{4 \over 3}

means slope of f(x) is negative before

43{4 \over 3}

and f'(x) is positive after

43{4 \over 3}

means slope of f(x) is positive after

43{4 \over 3}

. \therefore At

43,f(x){4 \over 3},\,f(x)

is local minimum From wavy curve method,

f(x)>0,x(α,12)(43,α)f'(x) > 0,\,\forall x \in \left( { - \alpha ,\,{1 \over 2}} \right) \cup \left( {{4 \over 3},\,\alpha } \right)

\therefore f(x) increasing in

x(α,12)(43,α)x \in \left( { - \alpha ,\,{1 \over 2}} \right) \cup \left( {{4 \over 3},\,\alpha } \right)
f(x)<0x(12,43)f'(x) < 0\,\forall x \in \left( {{1 \over 2},{4 \over 3}} \right)

\therefore f(x) decreasing in

x(12,43)x \in \left( {{1 \over 2},{4 \over 3}} \right)
Q136
If the absolute maximum value of the function f(x)=(x22x+7)e(4x312x2180x+31)f(x)=\left(x^{2}-2 x+7\right) \mathrm{e}^{\left(4 x^{3}-12 x^{2}-180 x+31\right)} in the interval [3,0][-3,0] is f(α)f(\alpha), then :
A α=0\alpha=0
B α=3 \alpha=-3
C α(1,0)\alpha \in(-1,0)
D α(3,1]\alpha \in(-3,-1]
Correct Answer
Option B
Solution

Given, f(x)=(x22x+7)f1(x)e(4x312x2180x+31)f2(x)f(x)=\underbrace{\left(x^{2}-2 x+7\right)}_{f_{1}(x)} \underbrace{e^{\left(4 x^{3}-12 x^{2}-180 x+31\right)}}_{f_{2}(x)} f1(x)=x22x+7f_{1}(x)=x^{2}-2 x+7 f1(x)=2x2f_{1}^{\prime}(x)=2 x-2, so f(x)f(x) is decreasing in [3,0][-3,0] and positive also f2(x)=e4x312x2180x+31f_{2}(x)=e^{4 x^{3}-12 x^{2}-180 x+31} f2(x)=e4x312x2180x+3112x224x180f_{2}^{\prime}(x)=e^{4 x^{3}-12 x^{2}-180 x+31} \cdot 12 x^{2}-24 x-180 =12(x5)(x+3)e4x312x2180x+31=12(x-5)(x+3) e^{4 x^{3}-12 x^{2}-180 x+31} So, f2(x)f_{2}(x) is also decreasing and positive in {3,0}\{-3,0\} \therefore absolute maximum value of f(x)f(x) occurs at x=3x=-3 α=3\therefore \quad \alpha=-3
