Q51 / 90 · JEE Main 2022 (25 Jun Shift 2) · Mathematics

Let fx=2x2+1 and gx=2x-3,x<02x+3,x≥0, where t is the greatest integer ≤t. Then, in the open interval -1,1, the number of points where fog is discontinuous is equal to ______.

Correct answer: 62

Solution

Given,

fx=2x2+1 and gx=2x-3,x<02x+3,x≥0

Now, fgx=2g2x+1

=22x-32+1;x<022x+32+1;x≥0

If x<0 then -1<x<0⇒-2<x<0

⇒-5<2x-3<-3⇒⇒9<2x-32<25

⇒18<22x-32<50, So there will be 31 values where 22x-32 is integer, Similarly for 22x+32 there will be 31, so total 62 points of discontinuity

 

Hence, the correct answer is 62.
