Consider the function f : R $$ \to $$ R defined by

$$f(x) = \left\{ \matrix{ \left( {2 - \sin \left( {{1 \over x}} \right)} \right)|x|,x \ne 0 \hfill \cr 0,\,\,x = 0 \hfill \cr} \right.$$. Then f is :

Let f be a real valued function, defined on R $$-$$ {$$-$$1, 1} and given by

f(x) = 3 log_e $$\left| {{{x - 1} \over {x + 1}}} \right| - {2 \over {x - 1}}$$.

Then in which of the following intervals, function f(x) is increasing?

The maximum value of

$$f(x) = \left| {\matrix{ {{{\sin }^2}x} & {1 + {{\cos }^2}x} & {\cos 2x} \cr {1 + {{\sin }^2}x} & {{{\cos }^2}x} & {\cos 2x} \cr {{{\sin }^2}x} & {{{\cos }^2}x} & {\sin 2x} \cr } } \right|,x \in R$$ is :

Let slope of the tangent line to a curve at any point P(x, y) be given by $${{x{y^2} + y} \over x}$$. If the curve intersects the line x + 2y = 4 at x = $$-$$2, then the value of y, for which the point (3, y) lies on the curve, is :
