A quadratic expression f(x) whose leading co-efficient is positive may take both positive and
negative value. Indeed if the corresponding equation has real roots c1 and c2 then the expression
will be negative for all values of x between c1 and c2. From which we can conclude that the
expression is negative for all x lying in the interval d1,d2 if c1 d1 d2 c 2 i.e.d1,d2 both lie
between the roots or equivalently f(d1 ) 0, f(d2 ) 0. If f(x) contains a parameter k then in general, it
is not very easy to find the value of k for which the expression f(x) is positive for values of n in
(d1, d2).

Suppose you are given a graph of function y = f(x).
Observing the shape of the graph you can conclude following points about the nature of the
function.
(i)
If graph is symmetrical about y-axis, then function is even
(ii)
If graph is symmetrical about origin, then function is odd.
(iii)
If graph rises when moving along positive x-axis the function is increasing, i.e. f(x) > 0 and
f(x) < 0 if graph falls.
(iv)
If graph touches x-axis at x = , then it has as repeated root, i.e. f() = f() = 0.
(v)
If the graph is convex upward, then slope of tangent is a decreasing function, i.e. f(x) < 0
and f(x) > 0 if convex upward.
(vi)
If the convex and concave parts of a graph meet at x = , then it is point of inflexion, i.e. f
() = 0 if exist f () changes sign.

Suppose you are given a graph of function y = f(x).
Observing the shape of the graph you can conclude following points about the nature of the
function.
(i)
If graph is symmetrical about y-axis, then function is even
(ii)
If graph is symmetrical about origin, then function is odd.
(iii)
If graph rises when moving along positive x-axis the function is increasing, i.e. f(x) > 0 and
f(x) < 0 if graph falls.
(iv)
If graph touches x-axis at x = , then it has as repeated root, i.e. f() = f() = 0.
(v)
If the graph is convex upward, then slope of tangent is a decreasing function, i.e. f(x) < 0
and f(x) > 0 if convex upward.

A functional equation is an equation, which relates the values assumed by a function at two or more
points, which are themselves related in a particular manner. For example, we define an odd function
by the relation f(x) = f(x) for all x. This definition can be paraphrased to say that it is a function
f(x), which satisfies the functional relation f(x) + f(y) = 0, whenever x + y = 0. Of course, this does
not identify the function uniquely, sometimes with some additional information, a function, a function
satisfying a given functional equation can be identified uniquely.

Suppose a functional equation has a relation between f(x) and f , then due to the reason that
x
1
reciprocal of a reciprocal gives back the original number, we can substitute
for x. This will result
x
into another equation and solving these two, we can find f(x) uniquely. Similarly, we can solve an
equation, which contains f(x) and f(x). Such equations are of repetitive nature.

In the 2007 World Cup in Westindies, the tournament will be arranged as per the following rules:
In the beginning 16 teams are taken and divided into 2 groups of 8 teams each. Teams of each
group will play a match against each other in the same group. From each group 4 top teams will
qualify for the next round. In the next round the team at first position played with team at second
position and team at third position played with fourth one in each group and the losing team goes
out of the tournament. Then four winning teams play for semi-final round and finally there is one
final. The rules of the tournament are such that every match can result only in a win or a loss and
not in a tie. In case, number of wins by two teams are equal, qualifier will be decided by run rate and
assume no two teams have the same run rate.
