Domain of a Function Question 1:

\(\mathrm{f}(x)=\cos x-1+\frac{x^{2}}{2!}, x \in \mathbb{R}\) Then f(x) is

  1. decreasing function
  2. increasing function
  3. neither increasing nor decreasing
  4. constant ∀x > 0
  5. None of these 

Answer (Detailed Solution Below)

Option 2 : increasing function

Domain of a Function Question 1 Detailed Solution

Calculation:

Give, f(x) = \(\cos x-1+\frac{x^{2}}{2!}, x ∈ \mathbb{R}\)

⇒ f '(x) = - sin x + x

Now, ∀ x ∈ ℝ, x > sin x

⇒ x - sin x > 0

⇒ f '(x) > 0

⇒ f(x) is an increasing function.

∴ f(x) is an increasing function.

The correct answer is Option 2.

Domain of a Function Question 2:

If the domain of the function \(f(x)=\cos ^{-1}\left(\frac{2-|x|}{4}\right)+\left(\log _e(3-x)\right)^{-1}\) is [-α, β)-{y}, then α + β + γ is equal to:

  1. 12
  2. 9
  3. 11
  4. 8
  5. 10

Answer (Detailed Solution Below)

Option 3 : 11

Domain of a Function Question 2 Detailed Solution

Calculation

Given

\(f(x)=\cos ^{-1}\left(\frac{2-|x|}{4}\right)+\left(\log _e(3-x)\right)^{-1}\)

⇒ \(-1 \leq\left|\frac{2-|x|}{4}\right| \leq 1\)

\( \Rightarrow\left|\frac{2-|x|}{4}\right| \leq 1\)

⇒ –4 < 2 – |x| <

⇒ –6 < – |x| <

⇒ –2 < |x| <

⇒ |x| <

⇒ x ∈ [–6, 6]     …(1) 

Now, 3 – x ≠ 1 

And x 2           …(2) 

And 3 – x > 0 

⇒ x < 3             …(3) 

From (1), (2) and (3) 

 x [–6, 3) – {2} 

⇒ α = 6 

⇒ β = 3 

⇒ γ = 2 

⇒ α + β + γ = 11 

Hence option(3) is correct

Domain of a Function Question 3:

If the domain of the function log5(18x - x- 77) is (α, β) and the domain of the function \(\rm \log _{(x-1)}\left(\frac{2 x^{2}+3 x-2}{x^{2}-3 x-4}\right)\) is (γ, δ), then α+ β+ γ2 is equal to :

  1. 195
  2. 174
  3. 186
  4. 179

Answer (Detailed Solution Below)

Option 3 : 186

Domain of a Function Question 3 Detailed Solution

f1(x) = log5(18x – x2 – 77)

∴ 18x – x2 – 77 > 0

x2 – 18x + 77 < 0

x ∈ (7, 11) α = 7, β = 11 

 

x > 1 , x ≠ 2 , 

qImage67bdb6ae31f053ab0d1a0ba0

x ∈ (4, ∞)

∴ γ = 4

∴ α2 + β2 + γ2 = 49 + 121 + 16

= 186 

Domain of a Function Question 4:

Let [x] denote the greatest integer less than or equal to x. Then domain of f(x) = sec–1 (2[x] + 1) is : 

  1. (–∞, –1] ∪ [0, )
  2. (–,
  3. (–, –1] [1,
  4. (–, ] – {0} 

Answer (Detailed Solution Below)

Option 2 : (–,

Domain of a Function Question 4 Detailed Solution

Calculation

f(x) = sec–1 (2[x] + 1)

2[x] + 1 ≤ –1 or 2 [x] + 1 ≥ 1 

⇒ [x] ≤ -1 ∪ [x] ≥ 0

⇒ x ∈ (-∞, 0) ∪ x ∈ [0, ∞)

⇒ x ∈ (-∞, ∞)

Hence option 2 is correct

Domain of a Function Question 5:

  2. [0, ∞ )
  3. [1, ∞ )

Answer (Detailed Solution Below)

Option 1 : ℝ

Domain of a Function Question 5 Detailed Solution

Calculation

f(x) = lnx

\(g(x)=\frac{x^{4}-2 x^{3}+3 x^{2}-2 x+2}{2 x^{2}-2 x+1}\)

Dg ∈ R

Df (0, ∞)

For Dfog ⇒ g(x) > 0

\(\frac{x^{4}-2 x^{3}+3 x^{2}-2 x+2}{2 x^{2}-2 x+1}>0\)

⇒ x4 – 2x3 + 3x2 – 2x + 2 > 0

Clearly x < 0 satisfies which are included in option (1) only.  

Hence option 1 is correct

What is the domain of the function f(x) = sin-1 (x + 1) ?

  1. [-1, 1]
  2. [-2, 0]
  3. [-2, 0)

Answer (Detailed Solution Below)

Option 2 : [-2, 0]

Domain of a Function Question 6 Detailed Solution

Concept:

Domin of sin-1 x is [-1, 1]

Adding or subtracting the same quantity from both sides of an inequality leaves the inequality symbol unchanged.

Calculation:

Given:  f(x) = sin-1 (x + 1) 

As we know, domin of sin1 x is [-1, 1]

Therefore, -1 ≤ (x + 1) ≤ 1

subtracting 1 in above inequality, 

⇒ -1 - 1 ≤ x + 1 - 1 ≤ 1 - 1

⇒ -2 ≤ x ≤ 0

∴ Domin of sin-1 (x + 1) is [-2, 0] 

Mistake Points[-2, 0] is different from [-2, 0). '[' and ']' indicates that the end number (2 and 0) is also included. '(' and ')' indicates that 2 and 0 are not taken into consideration.

Concept:

1. Domain of a  functions:

  • The domain of a function is the set of all possible values of the independent variable. That is all the possible inputs for a function.


Calculation:

Observe that the given function is in the form of numerator and denominator. The function will be well defined for all non zero values of the denominator.

Therefore, \({\rm{x}} - 2{\rm{\;}} \ne 0\) that implies that \({\rm{x\;}} \ne 2\).

Similarly square root function is well defined for all non-negative values.

Therefore, \({\rm{x}} - 2 > 0\) that implies \({\rm{x}} > 2.\)

Thus, domain of the given function is \(\left( {2,{\rm{\;}}\infty } \right).\)

What is the domain and range of the function (x) = \(\sqrt {(16 - x^2)}\)?

Concept:

We know that, the domain of a function f(x) is the set of all values for which the function is defined, and the range of the function is the set of all values that f takes. 

Calculations:

Given function is f(x) = \(\sqrt {(16 - x^2)}\)

The domain of a function f(x) is the set of all values for which the function is defined, and the range of the function is the set of all values that f takes. 

For domain, \(\rm f(x) \ge 0\)

\( \rm16 - x^2\ge 0 \)

\( \rm16 \ge x^2 \)

\( \rm x^2\le 16 \)

⇒ -4 ≤ x ≤ 4

Hence, domain of f(x) = [-4, 4]

For Range,

f(x) is maximum at x = 0 i.e. f(0) = 4

f(x) is minimum at x = 4 i.e. f(4) = 0

Hence, Range of f(x) = [0, 4]

Hence, the domain and range of the function (x) = of the function f(x) = \(\sqrt {(16 - x^2)}\) are [-4, 4], [0, 4].

The domain of cos-1 (2x + 1) is:

  1. [-2, 1]

Option 3 : [-1, 0]

Domain of a Function Question 9 Detailed Solution

Concept:

  • The domain of a function f(x) is the set of values of x for which the function is defined.
  • The value of cos θ always lies in the interval [-1, 1].
  • cos-1 (cos θ) = θ.
  • cos (cos-1 x) = x.

 

Calculation:

Let's say that cos-1 (2x + 1) = θ

⇒ cos (cos-1 (2x + 1)) = cos θ

⇒ cos θ = 2x + 1

Since, -1 ≤ cos θ ≤ 1

⇒ -1 ≤ 2x + 1 ≤ 1

⇒ -1 - 1 ≤ 2x + 1 - 1 ≤ 1 - 1

⇒ -2 ≤ 2x ≤ 0

⇒ \(\rm -\dfrac{2}{2}≤ x ≤ \dfrac{0}{2}\)

⇒ -1 ≤ x ≤ 0

⇒ x ∈ [-1, 0]

∴ The domain of the function is the closed interval [-1, 0].

Concept:

The domain of a function is the complete set of possible values of the independent variable.

To find domain of √f(x), set f(x) ≥ o

Calculations:

Given: the function f : R → R defined by \(\rm \sqrt {x^2 \ - \ x - 110}\)

We know that the domain of a function is the complete set of possible values of the independent variable.

To find the domain

= x2 - x - 110 ≥ 0

= x2 - 11x + 10x - 110 ≥ 0

= x(x - 11) + 10(x - 11) ≥ 0

= (x + 10)(x - 11) ≥ 0

= x ≤ - 10 or x ≥ 11

= x ∈ (- ∞, - 10] ∪ [11, ∞)

Hence, the domain of the function f : R → R defined by f(x) = \(\rm \sqrt {x^2 \ - \ x - 110}\) is (- ∞, - 10] ∪ [11, ∞)

Concept:

The domain is the set of all possible value of x which have a finite value of f(x).

Calculation:

Given function f(x) = 3x

The function will have a finite value for all x ∈ (-∞, ∞)

Mistake PointsThe range of the given function will be from (0,∞). 0, when x = -∞, and ∞ when x = ∞.

Domain of a Function Question 12 Detailed Solution

Download Solution PDF

Concept:

Domain of a function:

  • The domain of a function is the set of all input values (x-values) for which the function is defined.
  • For a function containing a square root, the expression inside the root must be ≥ 0.
  • If the root is in the denominator, then the expression must be > 0 (since division by zero is undefined).
  • Here, the function is f(x) = 1 / √(|x| - x).
  • So, we must ensure that |x| - x > 0 for f(x) to be defined.

 

Calculation:

Given,

f(x) = 1 / √(|x| - x)

We need: |x| - x > 0

⇒ Consider two cases for x:

⇒ Case 1: x ≥ 0 ⇒ |x| = x ⇒ |x| - x = x - x = 0 (Not allowed)

⇒ Case 2: x < 0 ⇒ |x| = -x ⇒ |x| - x = -x - x = -2x > 0

⇒ This is true for all x < 0

∴ Domain of the function is (-∞, 0)

Concept:

Period of a Function:

  • If a function repeats over at a constant period we say that is a periodic function.
  • It is represented like f(x) = f(x + T), T is the real number and this is the period of the function.


Calculation:

We have to find the period of the function f(x) = sin x

Now,

f(x + 2π) = sin (x + 2π) = sin x

⇒ f(x + 2π) = f(x)

∴ Period of sin x is 2π

\({\rm{f}}\left( {\rm{x}} \right) = \left| {\rm{x}} \right| = {\rm{\;}}\left\{ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} { - x,\;\;x < 0}\\ {x,\;\;x \ge 0} \end{array}} \right.\)

Calculation:

We have to find the domain of the function \({\rm{f}}\left( {\rm{x}} \right) = \frac{1}{{\sqrt {\left| {\rm{x}} \right| - {\rm{x}}} }}\)

We know that square root is always positive.

Therefore, |x| - x > 0         (|x| - x ≠ 0)

⇒ |x| > x
