Functions (XII)
Question

Let f(x)=3x27x+c, where c is a variable coefficient and x>76. Then the value of [c] such that f(x) touches f-1(x) is (where [] represents greatest integer function) ___. 

Moderate
Solution

f(x) and f-1(x) can only intersect on the line y = x and, therefore, y = x must be tangent at the common point of tangency. Hence, 

3x27x+c=x

or 3x28x+c=0                (1)

This equation must have equal roots. Therefore,

6412c=0

or c=6412=163
