For the functions f( )= 2 + 2 , and g( )= 2 + 2 , > >0, let 0< < 2 f( )= 0< < g( ). If the first term of a G.P. is ( 2 ), its common ratio is ( 2 ) and the sum of its first 10 terms is mn, (m, n)=1, then m+n is equal to .

Answer

1279

Solution

For 0< < 2 both terms of f are positive; A.M. G.M. :

f( ) 2 2 2 =2 (equality when 4 = )

f( )=2

g( )= 2 + (1- 2 )= +( - ) 2

- >0 g( )= (at = 2)

2 = 4 = 2 =4

G.P. : first term 2 =2, common ratio 2 = 12

S10= 2 (1- ( 12 )10 )1- 12=4 (1- 11024 )= 1023256

(1023, 256)=1 m=1023, n=256

m+n=1279

Answer: 1279
