If $x=-1$ and $x=2$ are extreme points of $f(x)=\alpha \log \mid x \mid+\beta x^2+x$ then

  1. $\alpha=-6,\beta=\dfrac{-1}{2}$
     
  2. $\alpha=2,\beta=\dfrac{-1}{2}$
     
  3. $\alpha=2,\beta=\dfrac{1}{2}$
     
  4. $\alpha=-6,\beta=\dfrac{1}{2}$

Since the extreme points are given ,

d/dx (f(x)) =0
a/x +2bx +1=0
At x=-1,
-a - 2b + 1 = 0
a + 2b = 1 ..........(1)

At x=2,
a/2 + 4b + 1 = 0
a + 8b = -2 ..........(2)
subtracting (1) & (2),
b=-1/2
put value of b in (1)
a=2
hence option (B) is correct

Let $f(x)=\log|x|$ and $g(x) =\sin x$. If $A$ is the range of $f(g(x))$ and $B$ is the range of $g(f(x))$ then $A\cap B$ is$[-1,0]$$[-1,0)$$[-\infty ,0]$$[-\infty ,1]$
