Consider a function $f: R \to R$ such that $f(x + a) = \frac{1}{2} + \sqrt{f(x) - f^2(x)}$,where $a$ is a real constant. Then $f(x)$ must be

$ A $ is a set having $ 6 $ distinct elements. The number of distinct functions from $ A $ to $ A $ which are not bijections is

Which of the following statements is correct?

Let $f(x) = Ax^3 - Bx - \tan x \cdot \text{sgn}(x)$ be an even function $\forall x \in R - \left\{ (2n + 1)\frac{\pi}{2}, n \in I \right\}$,where $A = \sin^2 \alpha - \sin \alpha + \frac{1}{4}$ and $B = \tan^2 \alpha + \frac{2}{\sqrt{3}} \tan \alpha + \frac{1}{3}$. Then the number of values of $\alpha$ in $\left[ -\frac{3\pi}{2}, 2\pi \right]$ is (where $\text{sgn}(x)$ denotes the signum function of $x$).

If $f(a) = \log \left| \frac{1-a}{1+a} \right|$ for $a \neq \{-1, 1\}$,then the set of values of all $a$,for which $f\left( \frac{2a}{1+a^2} \right) > 0$ is

Let $f : R \rightarrow R$ and $g : R \rightarrow R$ be two functions defined by $f(x)=\log _{e}(x^{2}+1)-e^{-x}+1$ and $g(x)=\frac{1-2e^{2x}}{e^{x}}$. Then,for which of the following range of $\alpha$,the inequality $f(g(\frac{(\alpha-1)^{2}}{3})) > f(g(\alpha-\frac{5}{3}))$ holds?
