Also, cosec–1y = ± & cosec–1z = ±

∴ x,y,z ∈ {–1,1}

49)

f(x).f(y) = f(x + y) + f(x – y) f(1) = 3

put y = 0, f(0) = 2
x = y = 1, f(2) = 7
x = 2, y = 1, f(3) = 18
x = y = 2, f(4) = 47
x = 4, y = 3, f(7) = 843

∴ p = 3, q = 4 → p + q = 7

Case (1) : if x ∈ (0, 1)

2tan–1x =

⇒ tan–1x =

⇒
Case (2) : if x ∈ (–1, 0)

⇒ tan–1x + (tan–1x + π) =

⇒ 2tan–1x =
–1
⇒ tan x =

∴ sum of solutions =

15 values

53)

∴ a = 1, b = 1, c = 3

54)

f(2 + x) = f(2 – x) ...(1)

put x → x + 5
⇒ f(7 + x) = f(–3 – x)
given f(7 + x) = f(7 – x)
⇒ f(–3 – x) = f(7 – x)
Put x = –3 – x
⇒ f(–3 – (–3 – x)) = f(7 – (–3 – x))

⇒ f(x) = f(x + 10)

⇒ period = 10
⇒ f(0) = f(10) = f(20) = ... = f(1000)
Now again by (1)
f(2 + x) = f(2 – x)
x→x–2 2–x+2
⇒ f(x) = f(4 – x)
⇒ f(0) = f(4)
∵ period = 10
⇒ f(0) = f(4) = f(14) = f(24)
= .... = f(994)
So f(x) = 0 for
x = 0, 4, 10, 14, 20, 24, 30, ..., 994, 1000
Similarly for
x = –4, –10, –14, –20, –24, –30, ..., –994, –1000
So minimum number of roots are
= 2 × 100 + 2 × 100 + 1 = 401
