Operations on Functions Question 1:
Comprehension:
Consider the following for the two (02) items that follow:
A function f is such that f(xy) = f(x + y) for all real values of x and y, and f(5) = 10
What is f(20)+f(-20) equal to?
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Operations on Functions Question 1 Detailed Solution
Calculation:
Given,
The function is \( f(xy) = f(x + y) \) for all real values of x and y, and f(5) = 10 .
We are tasked with finding:
\( f(20) + f(-20) \)
Using the given functional equation, we have:
For \( f(0 \cdot 5) = f(0 + 5) \), we get:
\( f(0) = f(5) = 10 \)
For \( f(0 \cdot 20) = f(0 + 20) \), we get:
\( f(0) = f(20) = 10 \)
For \( f(0 \cdot -20) = f(0 + (-20)) \), we get:
\( f(0) = f(-20) = 10 \)
Thus,
\( f(20) + f(-20) = 10 + 10 = 20 \)
Hence, the correct answert is Option 3.
Operations on Functions Question 2:
Comprehension:
Consider the following for the two (02) items that follow:
A function f is such that f(xy) = f(x + y) for all real values of x and y, and f(5) = 10
What is f(0) equal to?
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Operations on Functions Question 2 Detailed Solution
Calculation:
Given,
The function is such that: \( f(xy) = f(x + y) \) for all real values of x and y , and \( f(5) = 10 \).
We need to find the value of \( f(0) \).
Substitute \( x = 5 \) and \( y = 0 \) in the given functional equation \( f(xy) = f(x + y) \):
\( f(5 \cdot 0) = f(5 + 0) \)
\( f(0) = f(5) \)
Since \( f(5) = 10 \), we conclude:
\( f(0) = 10 \)
Hence, the correct answer is Option 4.
Operations on Functions Question 3:
Comprehension:
The function f(x) satisfies \(f(x), f \left( \frac{x}{y} \right) = \frac{f(x)}{f(y)}.\) for all positive real values of x and y, and f(2) = 3
What is f(1)f(4) equal to?
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Operations on Functions Question 3 Detailed Solution
Calculation:
Given,
The function satisfies the functional equation:
\( f\left(\frac{x}{y}\right) = \frac{f(x)}{f(y)} \)
Also, we are given that:
\( f(2) = 3 \)
We use the functional equation to calculate f(4) . Substituting x = 4 and y = 2 , we get:
\( \frac{f(4)}{f(2)} = f(2) \)
\( \frac{f(4)}{3} = 3 \quad \Rightarrow f(4) = 3 \times 3 = 9 \)
\( \frac{f(2)}{f(2)} = f(1) \quad \Rightarrow f(1) = 1 \)
\( f(1) \times f(4) = 1 \times 9 = 9 \)
Hence, the correct answer is Option 3.
Operations on Functions Question 4:
Comprehension:
The function f(x) satisfies \(f(x), f \left( \frac{x}{y} \right) = \frac{f(x)}{f(y)}.\) for all positive real values of x and y, and f(2) = 3
What is f(16) equal to?
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Operations on Functions Question 4 Detailed Solution
Calculation:
Given,
The function satisfies the equation \( \frac{f(x)}{f(y)} = \frac{x}{y} \) for all positive real values of x and y, and \( f(2) = 3 \).
We are tasked with finding \( f(16) \).
Using the functional equation, for \( f(4) \), we have:
\( \frac{f(4)}{f(2)} = f\left( \frac{4}{2} \right) = f(2) \)
Since \( f(2) = 3 \), we can calculate \( f(4) \)
\( \frac{f(4)}{3} = 3 \quad \Rightarrow \quad f(4) = 9 \)
Next, to find \( f(16) \), we use the functional equation again:
\( \frac{f(16)}{f(4)} = f\left( \frac{16}{4} \right) = f(4) \)
Since \( f(4) = 9 \), we can calculate \( f(16) \)
\( \frac{f(16)}{9} = 9 \quad \Rightarrow \quad f(16) = 81 \)
Hence, the correct answer is Option 4.
Operations on Functions Question 5:
Comprehension:
Let the function f(x) = x2- 1
What is the area bounded by the function f(x) and the x-axis?
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Operations on Functions Question 5 Detailed Solution
Calculation:
The function is \( y = x^2 - 1 \), and we need to find the area bounded by the curve and the x-axis between x = -1 and x = 1 .
The required area is given by the definite integral of the function from -1 to 1 :
\( \text{Area} = \int_{-1}^{1} (x^2 - 1) \, dx \)
\( \int (x^2 - 1) \, dx = \frac{x^3}{3} - x \)
Evaluate the integral from -1 to 1 :
\( \left[\frac{x^3}{3} - x\right]_{-1}^{1} = \left(\frac{1^3}{3} - 1\right) - \left(\frac{(-1)^3}{3} - (-1)\right) \)
\( = \left(\frac{1}{3} - 1\right) - \left(\frac{-1}{3} + 1\right) = \left(\frac{1}{3} - \frac{3}{3}\right) - \left(\frac{-1}{3} + \frac{3}{3}\right) = \frac{2}{3} - \frac{2}{3} = \frac{4}{3} \)
∴ The area is \( \frac{4}{3} \) square units.
Hence, the correct answer is Option 3.

For two functions f(x) and g(x), the function [(f × g)(x)] is defined as f(x) × g(x).
Calculation:
f(x) = x + 5 ⇒ f(5) = 5 + 5 = 10.
\(\rm g(x)= \dfrac{1}{2x+5} \Rightarrow g(5)= \dfrac{1}{2\times5+5}=\dfrac{1}{15}\).
∴ [(f × g)(5)] = f(5) × g(5) = \(\rm 10\times\dfrac{1}{15}=\dfrac{2}{3}\).

\(F(x) = {\left\{ {a\sin \left( {\frac{x}{2}} \right)} \right\}^2} + {\left\{ {a\cos \left( {\frac{x}{2}} \right)} \right\}^2}\)
\(F(x)=a^2sin^2\frac{x}{2}+a^2cos^2\frac{x}{2}\)
\(F(x) = {a^2}\left\{ {{{\sin }^2}\frac{x}{2} + {{\cos }^2}\frac{x}{2}} \right\}\)
F(x) = a2
f(5) = a2 = 5

Real valued function: A function f : A → B is called a real-valued function if B is a subset of R (set of all real numbers).
If A and B both are subsets of R, then f is called a real function.
Calculation:
f(x) = 2x3 + 7x2 - 3
∴ f(x - 1) = 2(x - 1)3 + 7(x - 1)2 - 3
⇒ 2(x3 - 3x2 + 3x - 1) + 7(x2 + 1 - 2x) - 3

Trigonometric Formulae:
\(\rm \sin 2x = \frac{2\tan x}{1\ +\ \tan^2x}\)
\(\rm \cos 2x = \frac{1\ -\ \tan^2x}{1\ +\ \tan^2x}\)
\(\rm \tan 2x = \frac{2\tan x}{1\ -\ \tan^2x}\)

If x = a satisfies the equation f(x) = b then f(a) = b
Calculation:
Here, we have to find the real values of x such that
\(\left( {5 + 2\sqrt 6 } \right)^{\rm x^{2} - 3} + \left( {5 - 2\sqrt 6 } \right)^{\rm x^{2} - 3} = 10\)
Let f(x) = \(\left( {5 + 2\sqrt 6 } \right)^{\rm x^{2} - 3} + \left( {5 - 2\sqrt 6 } \right)^{\rm x^{2} - 3}\)
We can see that if we substitute x = 2 in f(x) then we get
⇒ f(2) = \(\left( {5 + 2\sqrt 6 } \right)^{\rm 4 - 3} + \left( {5 - 2\sqrt 6 } \right)^{\rm 4 - 3} = 10\)
So, x = 2 satisfies the equation
\(\left( {5 + 2\sqrt 6 } \right)^{\rm x^{2} - 3} + \left( {5 - 2\sqrt 6 } \right)^{\rm x^{2} - 3} = 10\)
Similarly, if we substitute x = - 2 in f(x) then we get
⇒ f(- 2) = \(\left( {5 + 2\sqrt 6 } \right)^{\rm 4 - 3} + \left( {5 - 2\sqrt 6 } \right)^{\rm 4 - 3} = 10\)
Hence, x = ± 2 satisfies the equation
\(\left( {5 + 2\sqrt 6 } \right)^{\rm x^{2} - 3} + \left( {5 - 2\sqrt 6 } \right)^{\rm x^{2} - 3} = 10\)

The function is \( f(xy) = f(x + y) \) for all real values of x and y, and f(5) = 10 .
We are tasked with finding:
\( f(20) + f(-20) \)
Using the given functional equation, we have:
