Let $$f:R \to R$$ be defined by $$$f\left( x \right) = \left\{ {\matrix{ {k - 2x,\,\,if} & {x \le - 1} \cr {2x + 3,\,\,if} & {x > - 1} \cr } } \right.$$$

If $$f$$has a local minimum at $$x=-1$$, then a possible value of $$k$$ is

Let $$f:R \to R$$ be a continuous function defined by $$$f\left( x \right) = {1 \over {{e^x} + 2{e^{ - x}}}}$$$

Statement - 1 : $$f\left( c \right) = {1 \over 3},$$ for some $$c \in R$$.

Statement - 2 : $$0 < f\left( x \right) \le {1 \over {2\sqrt 2 }},$$ for all $$x \in R$$

Let $$A$$ be a $$\,2 \times 2$$ matrix with non-zero entries and let $${A^2} = I,$$
where $$I$$ is $$2 \times 2$$ identity matrix. Define
$$Tr$$$$(A)=$$ sum of diagonal elements of $$A$$ and $$\left| A \right| = $$ determinant of matrix $$A$$.
Statement- 1: $$Tr$$$$(A)=0$$.
Statement- 2: $$\left| A \right| = 1$$ .

Consider the system of linear equations; $$$\matrix{ {{x_1} + 2{x_2} + {x_3} = 3} \cr {2{x_1} + 3{x_2} + {x_3} = 3} \cr {3{x_1} + 5{x_2} + 2{x_3} = 1} \cr } $$$
The system has :
