Correct answer: C

  1. Find the codomain/range AAA of fff so that f:[0,3]→Af:[0,3]\to Af:[0,3]→A is onto

Given f(x)=2x3−15x2+36x+7,x∈[0,3].f(x)=2x^3-15x^2+36x+7,\qquad x\in[0,3].f(x)=2x3−15x2+36x+7,x∈[0,3].

Since the function is onto, AAA must be the range of fff on [0,3][0,3][0,3].

Differentiate: f′(x)=6x2−30x+36=6(x−2)(x−3).f'(x)=6x^2-30x+36=6(x-2)(x-3).f′(x)=6x2−30x+36=6(x−2)(x−3).

Critical points in [0,3][0,3][0,3] are x=2,3x=2,3x=2,3.

Now check monotonicity:

  • For 0≤x<20\le x<20≤x<2, f′(x)>0f'(x)>0f′(x)>0 so fff is increasing.
  • For 2<x<32<x<32<x<3, f′(x)<0f'(x)<0f′(x)<0 so fff is decreasing.

So maximum occurs at x=2x=2x=2, and minimum will be at an endpoint.

Compute values: f(0)=7,f(0)=7,f(0)=7, f(2)=2(8)−15(4)+36(2)+7=16−60+72+7=35,f(2)=2(8)-15(4)+36(2)+7=16-60+72+7=35,f(2)=2(8)−15(4)+36(2)+7=16−60+72+7=35, f(3)=2(27)−15(9)+36(3)+7=54−135+108+7=34.f(3)=2(27)-15(9)+36(3)+7=54-135+108+7=34.f(3)=2(27)−15(9)+36(3)+7=54−135+108+7=34.

Hence the range is A=[7,35].A=[7,35].A=[7,35].


  1. Find the codomain/range BBB of ggg so that g:[0,∞)→Bg:[0,\infty)\to Bg:[0,∞)→B is onto

Given g(x)=x2025x2025+1,x∈[0,∞).g(x)=\frac{x^{2025}}{x^{2025}+1},\qquad x\in[0,\infty).g(x)=x2025+1x2025​,x∈[0,∞).

Let t=x2025t=x^{2025}t=x2025, then t∈[0,∞)t\in[0,\infty)t∈[0,∞) and g(x)=tt+1.g(x)=\frac{t}{t+1}.g(x)=t+1t​.

Now:

  • At x=0x=0x=0, g(0)=0g(0)=0g(0)=0.
  • As x→∞x\to\inftyx→∞, g(x)→1g(x)\to 1g(x)→1, but never equals 111.

Thus the range is B=[0,1).B=[0,1).B=[0,1).


  1. Form the set SSS

Given S={x∈Z; x∈A or x∈B}.S=\{x\in \mathbb Z;\ x\in A\text{ or }x\in B\}.S={x∈Z; x∈A or x∈B}.

This means SSS is the set of all integers belonging to A∪BA\cup BA∪B.

Now:

  • Integers in A=[7,35]A=[7,35]A=[7,35] are 7,8,9,…,35,7,8,9,\dots,35,7,8,9,…,35, whose count is 35−7+1=29.35-7+1=29.35−7+1=29.

  • Integers in B=[0,1)B=[0,1)B=[0,1): only 000 belongs, since 1∉B1\notin B1∈/B.

There is no overlap between 000 and integers from 777 to 353535.

Hence n(S)=29+1=30.n(S)=29+1=30.n(S)=29+1=30.


  1. Compare with stored answer

Derived answer is 303030, which corresponds to Option C.

So the derived answer agrees with the stored correct answer.
