Question
If f : C → C is defined by f(x) = x2, write f−1 (−4). Here, C denotes the set of all complex numbers.
Advertisements
Solution
Let f−1 (−4) = x ... (1)
⇒ f(x) = −4
⇒ x2 = −4
⇒ x2 + 4 = 0
⇒ ( x+2i ) ( x−2i ) = 0 [using the identity: a2+b2=( a − ib ) (a + ib)]
⇒ x = ±2i [as x∈C]
⇒ f−1 (25) = {−2i, 2i} [from (1)]

Let f(x) be a polynomial function of degree 6 such that `d/dx (f(x))` = (x – 1)3 (x – 3)2, then
Assertion (A): f(x) has a minimum at x = 1.
Reason (R): When `d/dx (f(x)) < 0, ∀ x ∈ (a - h, a)` and `d/dx (f(x)) > 0, ∀ x ∈ (a, a + h)`; where 'h' is an infinitesimally small positive quantity, then f(x) has a minimum at x = a, provided f(x) is continuous at x = a.
