Instructions

Directions for the following two questions:

Answer the questions on the basis of the information given below.

$f_1(x) = x$ if $0 \leq x \leq 1$
$f_1(x) = 1$ if x >= 1
$f_1(x) = 0$ otherwise

$f_2(x) = f_1(-x)$ for all x

$f_3(x) = -f_2(x)$ for all x

$f_4(x) = f_3(-x)$ for all x

Question 10: How many of the following products are necessarily zero for every x:$f_1(x)f_2(x), f_2(x)f_3(x), f_2(x)f_4(x)$

a) 0

b) 1

c) 2

d) 3

According to given conditions we get f(2)=f(3)/3 , then f(3)=f(1)/6, then  f(4)=f(1)/10 , then f(5)=f(1)/15 .

We can see the pattern here that the denominator goes on increasing from 3,3+3,6+4,10+5,15+6,.. so for the f(9) the denominator will be same as 15+6+7+8+9=45 .

So f(9)=3600/45 = 80

In this graph, f(-1) = 1 and f(1) = 2 and since the two lines pass origin, their values increase linearly.

3f(x) = 6f(-x)

In this graph, we can see that the graph on LHS of y axis is symmetrical to the graph on RHS of y axis about origin.

Hence f(x) = -f(-x)

The correct relation between the two is: F(x) = | F1(x) |

So, all the three options a), b) and c) can be ruled out. Option d) is the correct answer.

The value of F(x) for x < 0 is the same as the value of F1(x) for x > 0.

So, F1(x) = F(-x)

Option b) is the correct answer.

The value of F(x) for x > 0 is the same as the value of F1(x) for x < 0.

So, F1(x) = F(-x)

Option b) is the correct answer.

F(0) = 1 ; F1(0) = -1

F(1) = 0 ; F1(-1) = 0

F(2) = -1 ; F1(-2) = 1

=> F1(x) = -F(-x).

$f(1)^2$ = f(1) => f(1) = 1

f(2)*(f(1/2) = f(1) => 4x = 1

So, f(1/2) = 1/4

f(x) = |x – 2| + |2.5 – x| + |3.6 – x|

For x belonging to (-infinity to 2), f(x) = 2-x + 2.5-x + 3.6-x = 8.1-3x

This attains the minimum value at x=2. Value = 2.1

For x belonging to (2 to 2.5), f(x) = x-2 + 2.5-x + 3.6-x = 4.1-x

Attains the minimum value at x = 2.5. Value = 1.6

For x belonging to (2.5 to 3.6), f(x) = x-2 + x-2.5 + 3.6-x = x-0.9

Attains the minimum at x=2.5, value = 1.6

For x > 3.6, f(x) = x-2+x-2.5+x-3.6 = 3x – 8.1

Attains the minimum at x= 3.6, value = 2.7

So, min value of the function is 1.6 at x=2.5

$f_1(x)f_2(x) = 0*0.5 = 0$
$f_2(x)f_4(x) = 0.5*0 = 0$ .
But $f_2(x)f_3(x)$ is not equal to zero.
