- Let $ \mathbb{R} $ denote the set of all real numbers. Let $ a_i, b_i \in \mathbb{R} $ for $ i \in \{1, 2, 3\} $.
Define the functions $ f: \mathbb{R} \to \mathbb{R},\ g: \mathbb{R} \to \mathbb{R},\ h: \mathbb{R} \to \mathbb{R} $ by:
$$ f(x) = a_1 + 10x + a_2x^2 + a_3x^3 + x^4,\quad g(x) = b_1 + 3x + b_2x^2 + b_3x^3 + x^4, $$ $$ h(x) = f(x+1) - g(x+2) $$ If $ f(x) \ne g(x) $ for every $ x \in \mathbb{R} $, then the coefficient of $ x^3 $ in $ h(x) $ is:- JEE Advanced - 2025

- A single slit diffraction experiment is performed to determine the slit width using the equation, $ \dfrac{b d}{D} = m \lambda $, where $ b $ is the slit width, $ D $ the shortest distance between the slit and the screen, $ d $ the distance between the $ m^{\text{th}} $ diffraction maximum and the central maximum, and $ \lambda $ is the wavelength. $ D $ and $ d $ are measured with scales of least count of 1 cm and 1 mm, respectively. The values of $ \lambda $ and $ m $ are known precisely to be $ 600 \, \text{nm} $ and 3, respectively. The absolute error (in $ \mu\text{m} $) in the value of $ b $ estimated using the diffraction maximum that occurs for $ m = 3 $ with $ d = 5 \, \text{mm} $ and $ D = 1 \, \text{m} $ is ___.
