JEE Advanced 2022 — Paper 1 — Question 2

Let α\alpha be a positive real number. Let f:R→Rf: R \rightarrow R and g:(α,∞)→Rg:(\alpha, \infty) \rightarrow R be the functions defined by

f(x)=sin⁡(πx12) and g(x)=2log⁡e(x−α)log⁡e(ex−eα)f(x)=\sin \left(\frac{\pi x}{12}\right) \text { and } g(x)=\frac{2 \log _{e}(\sqrt{x}-\sqrt{\alpha})}{\log _{e}\left(e^{\sqrt{x}}-e^{\sqrt{\alpha}}\right)} Then the value of lim⁡x→α+f(g(x))\lim _{x \rightarrow \alpha^{+}} f(g(x)) is \qquad -

Answer: 0.5

Numerical answer — enter this value.

Step-by-step solution

lim⁡x→α+f(g(x))=f(lim⁡x→α+g(x))\lim _{x \rightarrow \alpha^{+}} f(g(x))=f\left(\lim _{x \rightarrow \alpha^{+}} g(x)\right)

Now lim⁡x→α+g(x)=lim⁡x→α+2ln⁡(x−α)ln⁡(ex−eα)(−∞−∞)\lim _{x \rightarrow \alpha^{+}} g(x)=\lim _{x \rightarrow \alpha^{+}} \frac{2 \ln (\sqrt{x}-\sqrt{\alpha})}{\ln \left(e^{\sqrt{x}}-e^{\sqrt{\alpha}}\right)} \quad\left(\frac{-\infty}{-\infty}\right) Apply D'L Hospital

lim⁡x→α++2⋅1x−α⋅12x1ex−eα⋅ex⋅12x\lim _{x \rightarrow \alpha^{+}}+\frac{2 \cdot \frac{1}{\sqrt{x-\sqrt{\alpha}}} \cdot \frac{1}{2 \sqrt{x}}}{\frac{1}{e^{\sqrt{x}}-e^{\sqrt{\alpha}}} \cdot \mathrm{e}^{\sqrt{x}} \cdot \frac{1}{2 \sqrt{x}}}

lim⁡x→α+2(ex−eα)ex(x−α)\lim _{x \rightarrow \alpha^{+}} \frac{2\left(\mathrm{e}^{\sqrt{x}}-\mathrm{e}^{\sqrt{\alpha}}\right)}{\mathrm{e}^{\sqrt{x}}(\sqrt{\mathrm{x}}-\sqrt{\alpha})}

lim⁡x→α+2eα(ex−α−1)ex(x−α)=2\lim _{x \rightarrow \alpha^{+}} \frac{2 e^{\sqrt{\alpha}}\left(e^{\sqrt{x}-\sqrt{\alpha}}-1\right)}{e^{\sqrt{x}}(\sqrt{x}-\sqrt{\alpha})}=2

Now f(x)=sin⁡πx12\mathrm{f}(\mathrm{x})=\sin \frac{\pi \mathrm{x}}{12}

given f(2)=sin⁡π(2)12=sin⁡π6=12=0.5f(2)=\sin \frac{\pi(2)}{12}=\sin \frac{\pi}{6}=\frac{1}{2}=0.5
