If $\alpha$ is the angle of intersection between the curves $y = a^x$ and $y = b^x$,then what is $\tan \alpha$ equal to?

If $f(x) = \begin{cases} ax^2 - bx + 2, & x < 3 \\ bx^2 - 3, & x \geq 3 \end{cases}$ is differentiable at every $x \in R$,then the area (in sq units) of the triangle formed by the line $\frac{x}{a} + \frac{y}{b} = 1$ with the coordinate axes is

The number of polynomials $p: \mathbb{R} \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ satisfying $p(0)=0$,$p(x) > x^2$ for all $x \neq 0$,and $p^{\prime \prime}(0) = \frac{1}{2}$ is

If $y=(x+1)(x^2+1)(x^4+1)(x^8+1)$,then $\lim _{x \rightarrow-1} \frac{dy}{dx}=$

The number of points, at which the function $f(x) = \max\{6x, 2+3x^2\} + |x-1| |\cos(x^2 - 1/4)|, x \in (-\pi, \pi)$, is not differentiable, is ————

Consider the following three statements for the function $f : (0, \infty) \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ defined by $f(x) = |\log_{e} x| - |x - 1|$:
$(I)$ $f$ is differentiable at all $x > 0$.
$(II)$ $f$ is increasing in $(0, 1)$.
$(III)$ $f$ is decreasing in $(1, \infty)$.
Then:
