Total: 72
If f (x) = {
. For what integers m and n does both
f (x) and
f (x) exist?
Solution:
We have f (x) = {
Now
f (x) =
( m x 2 + n ) = m (0) + n = n
and
f (x) =
(nx + m) = n (0) + m = m
But for
f (x) to exist, we must have
f (x) =
f (x)
i.e., n = m
Hence
f (x) exists only if n = m.
Now,
f (x) =
(nx + m) = n + m
and
f (x) =
( n x 3 + m ) = n + m
∴ Above condition shows that
f (x) =
f (x) = m + n. Thus
f (x) exists for all n , m.
Now
and
But for
i.e., n = m
Hence
Now,
and
∴ Above condition shows that
