test 277 is awesum.................... it has nothing to do wid studies, only smartness...........hehehe
and nishu bhaiyya tht test was a joke actually........
he gave d initial condition as 1=5.......so at d end he used tht and confused us..........and i kno u got extremely angry at such an illogical ques...........hehe but nice one santom........

You must read it along with Post 14. here f(x) is such that whenever f(x) = 0, xnf(1/x) = 0.

Then the rest of the post holds.

Prophet Sir,
Can u pl. explain the "k" factor that u introduced??? I read ur post 19 but still not getin [2]

I took f(x) = x2.........(==> n =2)........ (==> roots= 0)

then f(1/x) = 1/x2

==> x^n f(1/x) = x^2/x^2 = 1....

but thn. roots differ [2] [2]

great sir why cant we think like u...!!!!!! simply "where did u take coaching ;)"

See whenever f(x) = 0 we also have f(1/x) = 0 or xn f(1/x) = 0.

Both f(x) and xnf(1/x) are polynomials of degree n (In fact xnf(1/x) is the polynomial obtained by reversing the order of f(x). Like 2x2+x+3 will become 3x2+x+2. Mirror image)

This means they have the same set of roots.

@ prophet,

That means, the roots of f(x) and xnf(1/x) are the same

will u pls explain this line?

Delightful proof, man. Where do u go for coaching?

Hari Shankar ·

We are given f(x) + f(1/x) = f(x) f(1/x)

Suppose f(x) = c ( a constant), then c = 0 or 2

Now if f(x) is not a constant:

Note that whenever f(x) = 0 we must have f(1/x) = 0 from the above relation.

That means, the roots of f(x) and xnf(1/x) are the same

So, we can write xn f(1/x) = k f(x)

Now multiplying the given relation by xn we get

xn f(x) + xnf(1/x) = f(x) xn f(1/x) or

xn f(x) + k f(x) = k f2(x) or

f(x) = xn/k + 1

Putting this form of the function into the given relation, we get k = 1 or k = -1

Hence if f(x) is not a constant, f(x) = 1+xn or 1-xn

If santom does not reply.. I will delete that test..

it is Not upto my liking and quality!

There are a couple others that need to go!

Anirudh Narayanan ·

how does [f(x)-1][f(1/x)-1]=1 imply f(x)=xn+1 ?

1
SANTHOSHtHOSH p ·

given that n>0

11
Anirudh Narayanan ·

can u pls tell me where i can find T-277 ?

62
Lokesh Verma ·

even i did not ! :)

11
Anirudh Narayanan ·

i didn't get how he got xn+1 as a solution. I actually got the full 5 marks in this test by guessing the ans! ;p

62
Lokesh Verma ·

Well observed..

f(x)=x - n+1 is also a solution? isnt it

11
Anirudh Narayanan ·

how does [f(x)-1][f(1/x)-1]=1 imply f(x)=xn+1 ?

1
SANTHOSHtHOSH p ·

sir

5=1

and 5!=3125

because 1=5 given

62
Lokesh Verma ·

Sorry Santom.. i meant test 277..

I could nto many any sense of it.. could you explain that one too?

1
SANTHOSHtHOSH p ·

sorry . posting now

f(x)+f(1/x)=f(x)f(1/x)

(f(x)-1)(f(1/x)-1)=1

implies

f(x)=xn+1

f(4)=17 implies n=2;

->f(7)=50.
