If \(f:R\to R\) is defined by \(f(x)=x^2-3x+2,find \,f(f(x)).\)
It is given that \(f:R\to R \,is\,defined \,as f(x)=x^2-3x+2\).
\(f(f(x))=f(x^2-3x+2)\)
= \((x^2-3x+2)^2-3(x^2-3x+2)+2\)
= \(x^4+9x^2+4-6x^3-12x+4x^2-3x^2+9x-6+2\)
= \(x^4-6x^3+10x^2-3x\).
Let \( A = \{0,1,2,\ldots,9\} \). Let \( R \) be a relation on \( A \) defined by \((x,y) \in R\) if and only if \( |x - y| \) is a multiple of \(3\). Given below are two statements:
Statement I: \( n(R) = 36 \).
Statement II: \( R \) is an equivalence relation.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below.
If vector \( \mathbf{a} = 3 \hat{i} + 2 \hat{j} - \hat{k} \) \text{ and } \( \mathbf{b} = \hat{i} - \hat{j} + \hat{k} \), then which of the following is correct?
