The given candlestick chart depicts the prices of a particular stock over 10 consecutive days. A candlestick comprises of a rectangular box pieced by a line. The top and bottom ends of the line respectively indicate the maximum and minimum prices of the stock on that day, while the horizontal edges of the rectangle correspond to the stock's opening and closing prices. If the rectangle is white, the opening price is lower than the closing price, but if the rectangle is black, then it is the other way around.
Using the above information, answer the questions that follow:
Consider the real-valued function f(x) = . Find the domain of f(x).
Let f(x) = if x ≠ 1, -1, and 1 if x = 1, -1. Let g(x) = if x ≠ 1, and 3 if x = 1. What is the minimum possible values of ?
Consider the function f(x) = (x + 4)(x + 6)(x + 8) ⯠(x + 98). The number of integers x for which f(x) < 0 is:
If f(x) = ax + b, a and b are positive real numbers and if f(f(x)) = 9x + 8, then the value of a + b is:
f is a function for which f(1) = 1 and f(x) = 2x + f(x – 1Ø) for each natural number x ≥ 2. Find f(31).
Find the equation of the graph shown below.

If f(x2 – 1) = x4 – 7x2 + k1 and f(x3 – 2) = x6 – 9x3 + k2 then the value of (k2 – k1) is
For a positive integer x, define f(x) such that f(x + a) = f(a × x), where a is an integer and f(1) = 4. If the value of f(1003) = k, then the value of ‘k’ will be:
