Let $$\alpha$$ $$\in$$ R be such that the function $$f(x) = \left\{ {\matrix{ {{{{{\cos }^{ - 1}}(1 - {{\{ x\} }^2}){{\sin }^{ - 1}}(1 - \{ x\} )} \over {\{ x\} - {{\{ x\} }^3}}},} & {x \ne 0} \cr {\alpha ,} & {x = 0} \cr } } \right.$$ is continuous at x = 0, where {x} = x $$-$$ [ x ] is the greatest integer less than or equal to x. Then :

Let C be the locus of the mirror image of a point on the parabola y² = 4x with respect to the line y = x. Then the equation of tangent to C at P(2, 1) is :

Given that the inverse trigonometric functions take principal values only. Then, the number of real values of x which satisfy

$${\sin ^{ - 1}}\left( {{{3x} \over 5}} \right) + {\sin ^{ - 1}}\left( {{{4x} \over 5}} \right) = {\sin ^{ - 1}}x$$ is equal to :

Let the lengths of intercepts on x-axis and y-axis made by the circle
x² + y² + ax + 2ay + c = 0, (a < 0) be 2$${\sqrt 2 }$$ and 2$${\sqrt 5 }$$, respectively. Then the shortest distance from origin to a tangent to this circle which is perpendicular to the line x + 2y = 0, is equal to :
