If $f(x) = \cos (\log x)$,then $f(x)f(y) - \frac{1}{2}[f(x/y) + f(xy)] = $

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

The number of solutions of the equation $2^x = x^2$ is

$f(x) = \frac{x}{\ln x}$ and $g(x) = \frac{\ln x}{x}$. Identify the $CORRECT$ statement.

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 $x$).

Let $P(x)$ be a polynomial with real coefficients such that $P(\sin^2 x) = P(\cos^2 x)$ for all $x \in [0, \pi/2)$. Consider the following statements:
$I.$ $P(x)$ is an even function.
$II.$ $P(x)$ can be expressed as a polynomial in $(2x - 1)^2$.
$III.$ $P(x)$ is a polynomial of even degree.
Then,
