Let $$f(x) = \left[ {2{x^2} + 1} \right]$$ and $$g(x) = \left\{ {\matrix{ {2x - 3,} & {x < 0} \cr {2x + 3,} & {x \ge 0} \cr } } \right.$$, where [t] is the greatest integer $$\le$$ t. Then, in the open interval ($$-$$1, 1), the number of points where fog is discontinuous is equal to ______________.

The value of b > 3 for which $$12\int\limits_3^b {{1 \over {({x^2} - 1)({x^2} - 4)}}dx = {{\log }_e}\left( {{{49} \over {40}}} \right)} $$, is equal to ___________.

If the sum of the co-efficient of all the positive even powers of x in the binomial expansion of $${\left( {2{x^3} + {3 \over x}} \right)^{10}}$$ is $${5^{10}} - \beta \,.\,{3^9}$$, then $$\beta$$ is equal to ____________.

If the mean deviation about the mean of the numbers 1, 2, 3, .........., n, where n is odd, is $${{5(n + 1)} \over n}$$, then n is equal to ______________.
