Let $f:[0,3] \rightarrow$ A be defined by $f(x)=2 x^3-15 x^2+36 x+7$ and $g:[0, \infty) \rightarrow B$ be defined by $g(x)=\frac{x^{2025}}{x^{2025}+1}$, If both the functions are onto and $S=\{ x \in Z ; x \in A$ or $x \in B \}$, then $n(S)$ is equal to :
Solution
<p>as $f(x)$ is onto hence $A$ is range of $f(x)$</p>
<p>$$\text { now } \begin{aligned}
f^{\prime}(x) & =6 x^2-30 x+36 \\
& =6(x-2)(x-3)
\end{aligned}$$</p>
<p>$f(2)=16-60+72+7=35$</p>
<p>$$\begin{aligned}
& \mathrm{f}(3)=54-135+108+7=34 \\
& \mathrm{f}(0)=7
\end{aligned}$$</p>
<p>hence range $\in[7,35]=\mathrm{A}$</p>
<p>also for range of $g(x)$</p>
<p>$$\begin{aligned}
& g(x)=1-\frac{1}{x^{2025}+1} \in[0,1)=B \\
& s=\{0,7,8, \ldots . .35\} \text { hence } n(s)=30
\end{aligned}$$</p>
