(D) Let $f(x) = \log(1 + x) - x$. Then $f'(x) = \frac{1}{1 + x} - 1 = \frac{-x}{1 + x}$.
For $x > 0$,$f'(x) < 0$,so $f(x)$ is strictly decreasing.
Since $f(0) = 0$,$f(x) < 0$ for $x > 0$,hence $\log(1 + x) < x$ is true.
Let $g(x) = \log(1 + x) - \frac{x}{1 + x}$. Then $g'(x) = \frac{1}{1 + x} - \frac{(1 + x) - x}{(1 + x)^2} = \frac{1}{1 + x} - \frac{1}{(1 + x)^2} = \frac{x}{(1 + x)^2}$.
For $x > 0$,$g'(x) > 0$,so $g(x)$ is strictly increasing.
Since $g(0) = 0$,$g(x) > 0$ for $x > 0$,hence $\frac{x}{1 + x} < \log(1 + x)$ is true.
Using the Taylor series expansion,$e^x = 1 + x + \frac{x^2}{2!} + \frac{x^3}{3!} + \dots$.
For $x > 0$,all terms $\frac{x^n}{n!}$ are positive,so $e^x > 1 + x$ is true.
For $x > 0$,$e^x > 1$ and $1 - x < 1$. Thus,$e^x > 1 - x$ is always true.
Therefore,the statement $e^x < 1 - x$ is not true.

(C) Let $f(x) = x - \log(1 + x)$. For $x > 0$,$f'(x) = 1 - \frac{1}{1+x} = \frac{x}{1+x} > 0$. Thus,$f(x) > f(0) = 0$,so $\log(1 + x) < x$ is true.
Let $g(x) = \log(1 + x) - \frac{x}{1+x}$. For $x > 0$,$g'(x) = \frac{1}{1+x} - \frac{(1+x) - x}{(1+x)^2} = \frac{1}{1+x} - \frac{1}{(1+x)^2} = \frac{x}{(1+x)^2} > 0$. Thus,$g(x) > g(0) = 0$,so $\frac{x}{1+x} < \log(1 + x)$ is true.
Let $h(x) = e^{-x} - (1 - x)$. For $x > 0$,$h'(x) = -e^{-x} + 1$. Since $e^{-x} < 1$ for $x > 0$,$h'(x) > 0$. Thus,$h(x) > h(0) = 0$,which implies $e^{-x} > 1 - x$. Therefore,the statement $e^{-x} < 1 - x$ is false.

(B) Given the limit: $L = \lim_{x \to 2} \frac{\int_{6}^{f(x)} 4t^3 dt}{x - 2}.$
Since $f(2) = 6,$ the integral becomes $\int_{6}^{6} 4t^3 dt = 0,$ and the denominator $x - 2 \to 0$ as $x \to 2.$ This is a $\frac{0}{0}$ form.
Applying $L$'$H$ôpital's rule and the Leibniz integral rule:
$L = \lim_{x \to 2} \frac{\frac{d}{dx} \int_{6}^{f(x)} 4t^3 dt}{\frac{d}{dx} (x - 2)}$
$L = \lim_{x \to 2} \frac{4(f(x))^3 \cdot f'(x)}{1}$
Substituting the values $f(2) = 6$ and $f'(2) = \frac{1}{48}$:
$L = 4(f(2))^3 \cdot f'(2) = 4(6)^3 \cdot \frac{1}{48}$
$L = 4 \cdot 216 \cdot \frac{1}{48} = 864 \cdot \frac{1}{48} = 18.$

(D) Given $h(x) = \min \{ x, x^2 \}$.
We compare $x$ and $x^2$:
$x \le x^2 \Rightarrow x^2 - x \ge 0 \Rightarrow x(x - 1) \ge 0$.
This inequality holds for $x \le 0$ or $x \ge 1$.
Thus,$h(x) = \begin{cases} x & x \le 0 \\ x^2 & 0 < x < 1 \\ x & x \ge 1 \end{cases}$.
$h(x)$ is continuous for all $x \in \mathbb{R}$ because the pieces match at $x=0$ $(0=0)$ and $x=1$ $(1=1)$.
$h(x)$ is not differentiable at $x=0$ and $x=1$ because the left and right derivatives do not match at these points.
For $x > 1$,$h(x) = x$,so $h'(x) = 1$.
Therefore,all statements $(a)$,$(b)$,and $(c)$ are correct.

(A) The function $f(x) = |x|$ is defined as $f(x) = x$ for $x \ge 0$ and $f(x) = -x$ for $x < 0$.
$1$. Continuity at $x = 0$:
$\lim_{x \to 0^-} f(x) = \lim_{x \to 0^-} (-x) = 0$
$\lim_{x \to 0^+} f(x) = \lim_{x \to 0^+} (x) = 0$
$f(0) = |0| = 0$
Since $\lim_{x \to 0^-} f(x) = \lim_{x \to 0^+} f(x) = f(0)$,the function is continuous at $x = 0$.
$2$. Differentiability at $x = 0$:
Left-hand derivative $(LHD)$ = $\lim_{h \to 0^-} \frac{f(0+h) - f(0)}{h} = \lim_{h \to 0^-} \frac{|h| - 0}{h} = \lim_{h \to 0^-} \frac{-h}{h} = -1$
Right-hand derivative $(RHD)$ = $\lim_{h \to 0^+} \frac{f(0+h) - f(0)}{h} = \lim_{h \to 0^+} \frac{|h| - 0}{h} = \lim_{h \to 0^+} \frac{h}{h} = 1$
Since $LHD \neq RHD$,the function is non-differentiable at $x = 0$.
Therefore,the function is continuous but non-differentiable.

(D) First,we rewrite the function $f(x)$ by analyzing the absolute value $|x - 3|$:
$|x - 3| = x - 3$ if $x \ge 3$ and $-(x - 3) = 3 - x$ if $x < 3$.
Thus,the function is defined as:
$f(x) = \begin{cases} \frac{1}{4}x^2 - \frac{3}{2}x + \frac{13}{4}, & x < 1 \\ 3 - x, & 1 \le x < 3 \\ x - 3, & x \ge 3 \end{cases}$
Check continuity at $x = 1$:
$f(1) = 3 - 1 = 2$.
$LHL = \lim_{x \to 1^-} (\frac{1}{4}x^2 - \frac{3}{2}x + \frac{13}{4}) = \frac{1}{4} - \frac{3}{2} + \frac{13}{4} = \frac{14}{4} - \frac{6}{4} = 2$.
$RHL = \lim_{x \to 1^+} (3 - x) = 2$.
Since $LHL = RHL = f(1)$,the function is continuous at $x = 1$.
Check continuity at $x = 3$:
$f(3) = 3 - 3 = 0$.
$LHL = \lim_{x \to 3^-} (3 - x) = 0$.
$RHL = \lim_{x \to 3^+} (x - 3) = 0$.
Since $LHL = RHL = f(3)$,the function is continuous at $x = 3$.
Check differentiability at $x = 1$:
$LHD = \lim_{h \to 0^-} \frac{f(1+h) - f(1)}{h} = \lim_{h \to 0^-} \frac{\frac{1}{4}(1+h)^2 - \frac{3}{2}(1+h) + \frac{13}{4} - 2}{h} = \lim_{h \to 0^-} \frac{\frac{1}{4}(1+2h+h^2) - \frac{3}{2} - \frac{3}{2}h + \frac{13}{4} - 2}{h} = \lim_{h \to 0^-} \frac{\frac{1}{4}h^2 + \frac{1}{2}h - \frac{3}{2}h}{h} = \lim_{h \to 0^-} (\frac{1}{4}h - 1) = -1$.
$RHD = \lim_{h \to 0^+} \frac{f(1+h) - f(1)}{h} = \lim_{h \to 0^+} \frac{3 - (1+h) - 2}{h} = \lim_{h \to 0^+} \frac{-h}{h} = -1$.
Since $LHD = RHD$,the function is differentiable at $x = 1$.
Therefore,all statements are correct.

(C) To check continuity at $x = 2$:
Left-hand limit: $\lim_{h \to 0^-} f(2-h) = \lim_{h \to 0} (1 + (2-h)) = 3$.
Right-hand limit: $\lim_{h \to 0^+} f(2+h) = \lim_{h \to 0} (5 - (2+h)) = 3$.
Value of function: $f(2) = 1 + 2 = 3$.
Since $\text{LHL} = \text{RHL} = f(2)$,the function is continuous at $x = 2$.
To check differentiability at $x = 2$:
Right-hand derivative: $Rf'(2) = \lim_{h \to 0^+} \frac{f(2+h) - f(2)}{h} = \lim_{h \to 0} \frac{5 - (2+h) - 3}{h} = \lim_{h \to 0} \frac{-h}{h} = -1$.
Left-hand derivative: $Lf'(2) = \lim_{h \to 0^-} \frac{f(2-h) - f(2)}{-h} = \lim_{h \to 0} \frac{1 + (2-h) - 3}{-h} = \lim_{h \to 0} \frac{-h}{-h} = 1$.
Since $Rf'(2) \neq Lf'(2)$,the function is not differentiable at $x = 2$.

(C) For $f(x)$ to be continuous at $x = 0$,we must have $\lim_{x \to 0^-} f(x) = \lim_{x \to 0^+} f(x) = f(0)$.
$f(0^-) = e^{2(0)} - 1 = 0$.
$f(0^+) = a(0) + \frac{b(0)^2}{2} - 1 = -1$.
Wait,checking the continuity condition: $e^{2(0)} - 1 = 0$ and $a(0) + \frac{b(0)^2}{2} - 1 = -1$. Since $0 \neq -1$,there might be a typo in the problem statement. Assuming the function is $f(x) = \begin{cases} e^{2x} - 1, & x \le 0 \\ ax + \frac{bx^2}{2}, & x > 0 \end{cases}$ for continuity at $x=0$ to hold.
Assuming the original function intended $f(x) = \begin{cases} e^{2x} - 1, & x \le 0 \\ ax + \frac{bx^2}{2}, & x > 0 \end{cases}$:
$f'(x) = \begin{cases} 2e^{2x}, & x < 0 \\ a + bx, & x > 0 \end{cases}$.
For differentiability at $x = 0$,$Lf'(0) = Rf'(0)$.
$Lf'(0) = \lim_{h \to 0^+} 2e^{2(0)} = 2$.
$Rf'(0) = \lim_{h \to 0^+} (a + bh) = a$.
Thus,$a = 2$. Since the continuity condition $f(0^-) = f(0^+)$ is satisfied for any $b$ if the constant term is adjusted,the condition $a=2$ and any $b$ holds.

(A) Given $f(x) = \cos x \cos 2x \cos 4x \cos 8x \cos 16x$.
Multiply and divide by $2 \sin x$:
$f(x) = \frac{2 \sin x \cos x \cos 2x \cos 4x \cos 8x \cos 16x}{2 \sin x} = \frac{\sin 2x \cos 2x \cos 4x \cos 8x \cos 16x}{2 \sin x} = \frac{\sin 32x}{2^5 \sin x} = \frac{\sin 32x}{32 \sin x}$.
Differentiating with respect to $x$ using the quotient rule:
$f'(x) = \frac{1}{32} \left( \frac{32 \cos 32x \sin x - \cos x \sin 32x}{\sin^2 x} \right)$.
At $x = \frac{\pi}{4}$,$\sin 32x = \sin(8\pi) = 0$ and $\cos 32x = \cos(8\pi) = 1$.
Also,$\sin \frac{\pi}{4} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$ and $\cos \frac{\pi}{4} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$.
$f'\left( \frac{\pi}{4} \right) = \frac{1}{32} \left( \frac{32(1)(\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}) - (\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}})(0)}{(\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}})^2} \right) = \frac{1}{32} \left( \frac{32}{\sqrt{2}} \cdot 2 \right) = \frac{2}{\sqrt{2}} = \sqrt{2}$.

(D) Given $f(x) = \begin{cases} 3x^2 + 12x - 1, & -1 \le x \le 2 \\ 37 - x, & 2 < x \le 3 \end{cases}$.
$1$. Check for continuity at $x = 2$:
$f(2) = 3(2)^2 + 12(2) - 1 = 12 + 24 - 1 = 35$.
$\lim_{x \to 2^-} f(x) = 35$.
$\lim_{x \to 2^+} f(x) = 37 - 2 = 35$.
Since $f(2) = \lim_{x \to 2^-} f(x) = \lim_{x \to 2^+} f(x)$,the function is continuous at $x = 2$ and thus on $[-1, 3]$.
$2$. Check for monotonicity:
For $x \in (-1, 2)$,$f'(x) = 6x + 12$. Since $x > -1$,$6x + 12 > 6(-1) + 12 = 6 > 0$. Thus,$f(x)$ is increasing on $[-1, 2]$.
For $x \in (2, 3)$,$f'(x) = -1 < 0$. Thus,$f(x)$ is decreasing on $(2, 3]$.
$3$. Check for maximum:
Since $f(x)$ increases on $[-1, 2]$ and decreases on $(2, 3]$,the maximum value occurs at $x = 2$,where $f(2) = 35$.
Therefore,all statements are correct.

(A) The curves are $y = a^x$ and $y = b^x$. They intersect at the point where $a^x = b^x$,which implies $x = 0$. At $x = 0$,$y = a^0 = 1$. So,the point of intersection is $(0, 1)$.
Now,find the slopes of the tangents at $(0, 1)$:
For $y = a^x$,$\frac{dy}{dx} = a^x \log a$. At $x = 0$,$m_1 = a^0 \log a = \log a$.
For $y = b^x$,$\frac{dy}{dx} = b^x \log b$. At $x = 0$,$m_2 = b^0 \log b = \log b$.
The angle $\alpha$ between the curves is given by $\tan \alpha = |\frac{m_1 - m_2}{1 + m_1 m_2}|$.
Substituting the values,we get $\tan \alpha = |\frac{\log a - \log b}{1 + \log a \log b}|$.

(B) Given $f(x) = \frac{1}{e^x + 2e^{-x}} = \frac{e^x}{e^{2x} + 2}$.
To find the range,we find the maximum value of $f(x)$.
$f'(x) = \frac{e^x(e^{2x} + 2) - e^x(2e^{2x})}{(e^{2x} + 2)^2} = \frac{e^x(2 - e^{2x})}{(e^{2x} + 2)^2}$.
Setting $f'(x) = 0$,we get $e^{2x} = 2$,so $e^x = \sqrt{2}$.
The maximum value is $f(\ln \sqrt{2}) = \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2 + 2} = \frac{\sqrt{2}}{4} = \frac{1}{2\sqrt{2}}$.
Since $e^x + 2e^{-x} > 0$,$f(x) > 0$. Thus,$0 < f(x) \le \frac{1}{2\sqrt{2}}$.
Statement-$2$ claims $0 < f(x) < \frac{1}{2\sqrt{2}}$,which is false because $f(x)$ attains the value $\frac{1}{2\sqrt{2}}$.
For Statement-$1$,we check if $\frac{1}{3}$ is in the range $(0, \frac{1}{2\sqrt{2}}]$.
Since $\sqrt{2} \approx 1.414$,$2\sqrt{2} \approx 2.828$. Thus $\frac{1}{2\sqrt{2}} \approx \frac{1}{2.828} \approx 0.353$.
Since $\frac{1}{3} \approx 0.333$,we have $0 < \frac{1}{3} < \frac{1}{2\sqrt{2}}$.
By the Intermediate Value Theorem,there exists $c$ such that $f(c) = \frac{1}{3}$.
Thus,Statement-$1$ is true and Statement-$2$ is false.

(D) Consider the function $f(x) = e^x - (1 + x)$.
For $x > 0$,$f'(x) = e^x - 1 > 0$,so $f(x)$ is strictly increasing.
Since $f(0) = 0$,it follows that $e^x > 1 + x$ for all $x > 0$. Thus,option $C$ is true.
Consider $g(x) = x - \log(1 + x)$.
For $x > 0$,$g'(x) = 1 - \frac{1}{1 + x} = \frac{x}{1 + x} > 0$,so $g(x)$ is strictly increasing.
Since $g(0) = 0$,it follows that $x > \log(1 + x)$ for all $x > 0$. Thus,option $A$ is true.
Consider $h(x) = \log(1 + x) - \frac{x}{1 + x}$.
For $x > 0$,$h'(x) = \frac{1}{1 + x} - \frac{(1 + x) - x}{(1 + x)^2} = \frac{1}{1 + x} - \frac{1}{(1 + x)^2} = \frac{x}{(1 + x)^2} > 0$.
Since $h(0) = 0$,it follows that $\log(1 + x) > \frac{x}{1 + x}$ for all $x > 0$. Thus,option $B$ is true.
Finally,for $x > 0$,$e^x > 1 + x > 1$. However,$1 - x < 1$ for $x > 0$. Therefore,$e^x < 1 - x$ is false for $x > 0$.

(B) Let $L = \mathop {Lim}\limits_{\lambda \to 0} \,{\left( {\int\limits_0^1 {{{(1 + x)}^\lambda }dx} } \right)^{\frac{1}{\lambda }}}$
First,evaluate the integral: $\int\limits_0^1 {{{(1 + x)}^\lambda }dx} = \left[ \frac{{{{(1 + x)}^{\lambda + 1}}}}{{\lambda + 1}} \right]_0^1 = \frac{{{2^{\lambda + 1}} - 1}}{{\lambda + 1}}$
Now,$L = \mathop {Lim}\limits_{\lambda \to 0} {\left( {\frac{{{2^{\lambda + 1}} - 1}}{{\lambda + 1}}} \right)^{\frac{1}{\lambda }}}$
This is in the form $1^{\infty}$. We use the formula $\mathop {Lim}\limits_{x \to a} f(x)^{g(x)} = e^{\mathop {Lim}\limits_{x \to a} g(x)(f(x) - 1)}$:
$L = e^{\mathop {Lim}\limits_{\lambda \to 0} \frac{1}{\lambda } \left( \frac{{{2^{\lambda + 1}} - 1}}{{\lambda + 1}} - 1 \right)} = e^{\mathop {Lim}\limits_{\lambda \to 0} \frac{1}{\lambda } \left( \frac{{{2^{\lambda + 1}} - 1 - \lambda - 1}}{{\lambda + 1}} \right)}$
$L = e^{\mathop {Lim}\limits_{\lambda \to 0} \frac{{{2^{\lambda + 1}} - 2 - \lambda }}{{\lambda (\lambda + 1)}}} = e^{\mathop {Lim}\limits_{\lambda \to 0} \left( \frac{{2({2^\lambda } - 1)}}{\lambda } - 1 \right) \cdot \frac{1}{{\lambda + 1}}}$
Since $\mathop {Lim}\limits_{\lambda \to 0} \frac{{{2^\lambda } - 1}}{\lambda } = \ln 2$,we have:
$L = e^{2 \ln 2 - 1} = e^{\ln 4 - \ln e} = e^{\ln(4/e)} = \frac{4}{e}$

(B) Let $f(x) = ax^2 + bx + c$. Since $f(x) > 0$ for all $x \in R$,we must have $a > 0$ and the discriminant $D = b^2 - 4ac < 0$.
Given $g(x) = f(x) + f'(x) + f''(x)$.
Calculating the derivatives:
$f'(x) = 2ax + b$
$f''(x) = 2a$
Substituting these into $g(x)$:
$g(x) = (ax^2 + bx + c) + (2ax + b) + (2a)$
$g(x) = ax^2 + (b + 2a)x + (c + b + 2a)$
Now,we check the discriminant $D_g$ of the quadratic expression $g(x)$:
$D_g = (b + 2a)^2 - 4a(c + b + 2a)$
$D_g = b^2 + 4ab + 4a^2 - 4ac - 4ab - 8a^2$
$D_g = (b^2 - 4ac) - 4a^2$
Since $b^2 - 4ac < 0$ and $4a^2 > 0$,it follows that $D_g < 0$.
Since the leading coefficient $a > 0$ and $D_g < 0$,$g(x)$ is always positive for all real $x$.
Therefore,$g(x) > 0$.

(A) Given $y = \frac{1}{1 + x^{n-m} + x^{p-m}} + \frac{1}{1 + x^{m-n} + x^{p-n}} + \frac{1}{1 + x^{m-p} + x^{n-p}}$.
Multiply the numerator and denominator of the first term by $x^m$,the second term by $x^n$,and the third term by $x^p$:
$y = \frac{x^m}{x^m + x^n + x^p} + \frac{x^n}{x^n + x^m + x^p} + \frac{x^p}{x^p + x^m + x^n}$.
Since the denominators are the same,we can combine the terms:
$y = \frac{x^m + x^n + x^p}{x^m + x^n + x^p} = 1$.
Since $y = 1$ is a constant,its derivative with respect to $x$ is $\frac{dy}{dx} = 0$.
Therefore,the value of $\frac{dy}{dx}$ at any point,including $x = e^{m^{n^p}}$,is $0$.

(C) First,we check the continuity at $x = 0$: $\lim_{x \to 0} f(x) = \lim_{x \to 0} e^{-\frac{1}{x^2}} = e^{-\infty} = 0$. Since $f(0) = 0$,the function is continuous at $x = 0$.
Next,we check the differentiability at $x = 0$: $f'(0) = \lim_{h \to 0} \frac{f(h) - f(0)}{h} = \lim_{h \to 0} \frac{e^{-\frac{1}{h^2}}}{h}$. Let $t = \frac{1}{h}$,as $h \to 0$,$t \to \infty$. Then $\lim_{t \to \infty} t e^{-t^2} = \lim_{t \to \infty} \frac{t}{e^{t^2}} = \lim_{t \to \infty} \frac{1}{2t e^{t^2}} = 0$. Thus,$f$ is differentiable at $x = 0$ with $f'(0) = 0$.
As $x \to \pm \infty$,$f(x) = e^{-\frac{1}{x^2}} \to e^0 = 1$. The graph approaches the horizontal asymptote $y = 1$.
Comparing the properties: the function is symmetric about the $y$-axis (even function),passes through $(0,0)$,has a horizontal tangent at $(0,0)$,and approaches $y = 1$ as $x \to \pm \infty$. Option $C$ represents these features correctly.

(B) Let us analyze each statement:
$A$: If $f(x)$ is periodic with period $T$,then $f'(x) = \lim_{h \to 0} \frac{f(x+h)-f(x)}{h}$. Since $f(x+T+h) = f(x+h)$ and $f(x+T) = f(x)$,$f'(x+T) = f'(x)$. Thus,the derivative is periodic with the same period. This is $CORRECT$.
$B$: Consider $f(x) = x - \sqrt{x^2+1}$ and $g(x) = x + \sqrt{x^2+1}$. Both are aperiodic. However,$F(x) = f(x) \cdot g(x) = (x^2 - (x^2+1)) = -1$. The constant function $-1$ is periodic (with any period $T > 0$). Thus,the statement that it cannot be periodic is $FALSE$.
$C$: If $f(x)$ is even,$f(-x) = f(x)$. Differentiating gives $-f'(-x) = f'(x)$,so $f'(-x) = -f'(x)$ (odd). If $f(x)$ is odd,$f(-x) = -f(x)$. Differentiating gives $-f'(-x) = -f'(x)$,so $f'(-x) = f'(x)$ (even). This is $CORRECT$.
$D$: Any function $f(x)$ can be written as $f(x) = \frac{f(x)+f(-x)}{2} + \frac{f(x)-f(-x)}{2}$,where the first part is even and the second is odd. This is $CORRECT$.
Therefore,the incorrect statement is $B$.

(D) Given $u = e^x \sin x$ and $v = e^x \cos x$.
First,calculate the first derivatives:
$\frac{du}{dx} = e^x \sin x + e^x \cos x = e^x(\sin x + \cos x)$
$\frac{dv}{dx} = e^x \cos x - e^x \sin x = e^x(\cos x - \sin x)$
Check option $A$: $v \frac{du}{dx} - u \frac{dv}{dx} = e^x \cos x \cdot e^x(\sin x + \cos x) - e^x \sin x \cdot e^x(\cos x - \sin x)$
$= e^{2x}(\sin x \cos x + \cos^2 x - \sin x \cos x + \sin^2 x) = e^{2x}(\sin^2 x + \cos^2 x) = e^{2x}$.
Also,$u^2 + v^2 = (e^x \sin x)^2 + (e^x \cos x)^2 = e^{2x}(\sin^2 x + \cos^2 x) = e^{2x}$.
Thus,$v \frac{du}{dx} - u \frac{dv}{dx} = u^2 + v^2$ is correct.
Check option $B$: $\frac{d^2u}{dx^2} = \frac{d}{dx}[e^x(\sin x + \cos x)] = e^x(\sin x + \cos x) + e^x(\cos x - \sin x) = 2e^x \cos x = 2v$. This is correct.
Check option $C$: $\frac{d^2v}{dx^2} = \frac{d}{dx}[e^x(\cos x - \sin x)] = e^x(\cos x - \sin x) + e^x(-\sin x - \cos x) = -2e^x \sin x = -2u$. This is correct.
Since all equations are satisfied,the correct option is $D$.

(D) Given: $6f(0) = 3 \implies f(0) = \frac{1}{2}$.
Since $f(0) = \frac{2}{g(0)}$,we have $g(0) = \frac{2}{f(0)} = 4$.
Given $f'(0) = 4g(0) = 4(4) = 16$.
Given $2g'(0) = 4g(0) = 16 \implies g'(0) = 8$.
Check $A$: $h(x) = \frac{f(x)}{g(x)} \implies h'(x) = \frac{f'(x)g(x) - f(x)g'(x)}{(g(x))^2}$.
$h'(0) = \frac{f'(0)g(0) - f(0)g'(0)}{(g(0))^2} = \frac{(16)(4) - (1/2)(8)}{4^2} = \frac{64 - 4}{16} = \frac{60}{16} = \frac{15}{4}$. (Correct)
Check $B$: $k(x) = f(x)g(x)\sin x \implies k'(x) = f'(x)g(x)\sin x + f(x)g'(x)\sin x + f(x)g(x)\cos x$.
$k'(0) = 0 + 0 + f(0)g(0)\cos(0) = (1/2)(4)(1) = 2$. (Correct)
Check $C$: $\lim_{x \to 0} \frac{g'(x)}{f'(x)} = \frac{g'(0)}{f'(0)} = \frac{8}{16} = \frac{1}{2}$. (Correct)
Thus,all options are correct.

(D) First,we analyze the continuity and differentiability at $x = 1$ and $x = 3$.
For $x = 1$:
Left-hand limit: $\lim_{x \to 1^-} f(x) = \frac{1^2}{4} - \frac{3(1)}{2} + \frac{13}{4} = \frac{1 - 6 + 13}{4} = 2$.
Right-hand limit: $\lim_{x \to 1^+} f(x) = |1 - 3| = 2$.
Since $f(1) = 2$,the function is continuous at $x = 1$.
Now check differentiability at $x = 1$:
$f'(1^+) = \frac{d}{dx}(3 - x) = -1$ (for $1 \leqslant x < 3$).
$f'(1^-) = \frac{d}{dx}(\frac{x^2}{4} - \frac{3x}{2} + \frac{13}{4}) = \frac{2x}{4} - \frac{3}{2} = \frac{1}{2} - \frac{3}{2} = -1$.
Since $f'(1^+) = f'(1^-)$,the function is differentiable at $x = 1$.
For $x = 3$:
The function $f(x) = |x - 3|$ is continuous at $x = 3$ because $\lim_{x \to 3} |x - 3| = 0 = f(3)$.
Thus,all statements are correct.

(D) For the function $f(x) = \sqrt{1 - \sqrt{1 - x^2}}$,the domain is determined by $1 - x^2 \ge 0$ (so $-1 \le x \le 1$) and $1 - \sqrt{1 - x^2} \ge 0$ (which is always true for $x \in [-1, 1]$). Thus,the domain is $[-1, 1]$.
To check differentiability at $x = 0$,we find the one-sided derivatives:
$f'(0^+) = \lim_{h \to 0^+} \frac{\sqrt{1 - \sqrt{1 - h^2}} - 0}{h} = \lim_{h \to 0^+} \sqrt{\frac{1 - \sqrt{1 - h^2}}{h^2}} = \lim_{h \to 0^+} \sqrt{\frac{1 - (1 - h^2)}{h^2(1 + \sqrt{1 - h^2})}} = \lim_{h \to 0^+} \sqrt{\frac{h^2}{h^2(1 + \sqrt{1 - h^2})}} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$.
Similarly,$f'(0^-) = -\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$.
Since the left-hand derivative and right-hand derivative are finite but not equal,the function is continuous but not differentiable at $x = 0$. Therefore,all statements are correct.

(D) For $-2 < x < 0$,$f(x) = \max(4 - x^2, 1 + x^2)$.
$4 - x^2 = 1 + x^2 \implies 2x^2 = 3 \implies x = -\sqrt{3/2}$.
Thus,$f(x) = 1 + x^2$ for $-2 < x < -\sqrt{3/2}$ and $f(x) = 4 - x^2$ for $-\sqrt{3/2} < x < 0$.
For $0 < x < 2$,$f(x) = \min(4 - x^2, 1 + x^2)$.
$4 - x^2 = 1 + x^2 \implies x = \sqrt{3/2}$.
Thus,$f(x) = 1 + x^2$ for $0 < x < \sqrt{3/2}$ and $f(x) = 4 - x^2$ for $\sqrt{3/2} < x < 2$.
At $x = 0$,$\lim_{x \to 0^-} f(x) = \max(4, 1) = 4$ and $\lim_{x \to 0^+} f(x) = \min(4, 1) = 1$.
Since $\lim_{x \to 0^-} f(x) \neq \lim_{x \to 0^+} f(x)$,$f(x)$ is discontinuous at $x = 0$.
Also,$f(x)$ is non-differentiable at $x = -\sqrt{3/2}$,$x = 0$,and $x = \sqrt{3/2}$.
Therefore,$f(x)$ has a point of discontinuity and is not differentiable at more than one point. Hence,both $(B)$ and $(C)$ are correct.

(A) Let the point $A$ be $(t, t^3)$ and $B$ be $(T, T^3)$ on the curve $y = x^3$.
The slope of the tangent at $A$ is given by $\frac{dy}{dx} = 3x^2$. At $x = t$,the slope $m_A = 3t^2$.
The equation of the tangent at $A$ is $y - t^3 = 3t^2(x - t)$,which simplifies to $y = 3t^2x - 2t^3$.
Since this tangent meets the curve $y = x^3$ at $B(T, T^3)$,we have $T^3 = 3t^2T - 2t^3$.
Rearranging gives $T^3 - 3t^2T + 2t^3 = 0$.
Since $T = t$ is a root (tangent point),we can factor out $(T - t)^2$:
$(T - t)^2(T + 2t) = 0$.
Thus,$T = -2t$ is the coordinate of the point $B$.
The gradient at $B$ is $m_B = 3T^2 = 3(-2t)^2 = 3(4t^2) = 12t^2$.
We are given $m_B = K \cdot m_A$,so $12t^2 = K(3t^2)$.
Therefore,$K = \frac{12t^2}{3t^2} = 4$.

(D) Given $f(x) = 4x^3 - x^2 - 2x + 1$.
First,we find the derivative: $f'(x) = 12x^2 - 2x - 2 = 2(6x^2 - x - 1) = 2(3x + 1)(2x - 1)$.
For $x \in [0, 1]$,$f'(x) = 0$ at $x = \frac{1}{2}$.
$f(x)$ decreases on $[0, \frac{1}{2}]$ and increases on $[\frac{1}{2}, 1]$.
For $g(x) = \min \{f(t) : 0 \le t \le x\}$ when $0 \le x \le 1$:
If $0 \le x < \frac{1}{2}$,$g(x) = f(x)$.
If $\frac{1}{2} \le x \le 1$,$g(x) = f(\frac{1}{2}) = 4(\frac{1}{8}) - \frac{1}{4} - 2(\frac{1}{2}) + 1 = \frac{1}{2} - \frac{1}{4} - 1 + 1 = \frac{1}{4}$.
Now calculate the values:
$g(\frac{1}{4}) = f(\frac{1}{4}) = 4(\frac{1}{64}) - \frac{1}{16} - 2(\frac{1}{4}) + 1 = \frac{1}{16} - \frac{1}{16} - \frac{1}{2} + 1 = \frac{1}{2}$.
$g(\frac{3}{4}) = f(\frac{1}{2}) = \frac{1}{4}$ (since $\frac{3}{4} \ge \frac{1}{2}$).
$g(\frac{5}{4}) = 3 - \frac{5}{4} = \frac{12-5}{4} = \frac{7}{4}$.
Sum $= g(\frac{1}{4}) + g(\frac{3}{4}) + g(\frac{5}{4}) = \frac{1}{2} + \frac{1}{4} + \frac{7}{4} = \frac{2+1+7}{4} = \frac{10}{4} = \frac{5}{2}$.

(B) Given curves are $C_1: y = x^2 - 3$ and $C_2: y = kx^2$.
Since point $A(a, y_1)$ lies on both curves,we have $y_1 = a^2 - 3$ and $y_1 = ka^2$.
Equating these,$ka^2 = a^2 - 3$,so $k = \frac{a^2 - 3}{a^2} = 1 - \frac{3}{a^2}$.
Point $B(1, y_2)$ lies on $C_1$,so $y_2 = 1^2 - 3 = -2$.
Thus,$B$ is $(1, -2)$.
The tangent to $C_2$ at $A(a, y_1)$ is given by $\frac{dy}{dx} = 2kx$. At $x = a$,the slope is $m = 2ka$.
The equation of the tangent at $A(a, y_1)$ is $y - y_1 = 2ka(x - a)$.
Since this tangent passes through $B(1, -2)$,we have $-2 - y_1 = 2ka(1 - a)$.
Substitute $y_1 = a^2 - 3$ and $k = \frac{a^2 - 3}{a^2}$:
$-2 - (a^2 - 3) = 2 \left( \frac{a^2 - 3}{a^2} \right) a (1 - a)$
$1 - a^2 = 2 \left( \frac{a^2 - 3}{a} \right) (1 - a)$
$(1 - a)(1 + a) = \frac{2(a^2 - 3)(1 - a)}{a}$.
Since $a > 0$ and $A$ is an intersection point,$a \neq 1$ (otherwise $C_1$ and $C_2$ would be tangent at $x=1$,but $y_1 \neq y_2$ implies $B$ is a distinct point). Dividing by $(1 - a)$:
$1 + a = \frac{2(a^2 - 3)}{a}$
$a + a^2 = 2a^2 - 6$
$a^2 - a - 6 = 0$
$(a - 3)(a + 2) = 0$.
Since $a > 0$,we get $a = 3$.

(B) Given $f(x) = \begin{cases} \sqrt{x} & x \ge 1 \\ x^3 & 0 \le x < 1 \\ \frac{x^3}{3} - 4x & x < 0 \end{cases}$
$1$. Check continuity:
At $x = 0$: $f(0) = 0^3 = 0$. $\lim_{x \to 0^-} f(x) = \lim_{x \to 0^-} (\frac{x^3}{3} - 4x) = 0$. $\lim_{x \to 0^+} f(x) = 0^3 = 0$. Continuous at $x=0$.
At $x = 1$: $f(1) = \sqrt{1} = 1$. $\lim_{x \to 1^-} f(x) = 1^3 = 1$. $\lim_{x \to 1^+} f(x) = \sqrt{1} = 1$. Continuous at $x=1$.
$2$. Check differentiability:
$f'(x) = \begin{cases} \frac{1}{2\sqrt{x}} & x > 1 \\ 3x^2 & 0 < x < 1 \\ x^2 - 4 & x < 0 \end{cases}$
At $x = 0$: $f'(0^+) = 3(0)^2 = 0$,$f'(0^-) = 0^2 - 4 = -4$. Not differentiable at $x=0$.
At $x = 1$: $f'(1^+) = \frac{1}{2\sqrt{1}} = 0.5$,$f'(1^-) = 3(1)^2 = 3$. Not differentiable at $x=1$.
$3$. Analyze monotonicity and extrema:
For $x < 0$,$f'(x) = x^2 - 4$. $f'(x) = 0 \implies x = -2$. $f'(x) > 0$ for $x < -2$ and $f'(x) < 0$ for $-2 < x < 0$. Thus,$x = -2$ is a local maximum.
For $0 < x < 1$,$f'(x) = 3x^2 > 0$ (increasing).
For $x > 1$,$f'(x) = \frac{1}{2\sqrt{x}} > 0$ (increasing).
At $x = 0$,$f(0) = 0$. Since $f(x)$ decreases on $(-2, 0)$ and increases on $(0, 1)$,$x = 0$ is a local minimum.
$4$. Sign of $f'(x)$:
$f'(x) = x^2 - 4$ for $x < 0$ (changes sign at $x = -2$).
$f'(x) > 0$ for $x > 0$.
Thus,$f'(x)$ changes sign only once at $x = -2$. The statement in option $(C)$ is incorrect as written in the original prompt,but based on the analysis,$f'(x)$ fails to exist at $x=0$ and $x=1$ ($2$ points). Thus,$(B)$ is the correct statement.

(A) Statement-$1$: False. The function $f$ must be continuous at $x = c$ for the first derivative test to guarantee a local maximum. For example,consider a function that is increasing on $(c-\delta, c)$ and decreasing on $(c, c+\delta)$ but has a vertical asymptote or a jump discontinuity at $c$ such that $f(c)$ is not the maximum value.
Statement-$2$: False. $A$ function can have a local maximum at $x=c$ and also be an inflection point if the concavity changes at $c$ (e.g.,$f(x) = -x^4$ has a local maximum at $x=0$ and $f''(x) = -12x^2$,which changes sign at $x=0$,making it an inflection point).
Statement-$3$: True. $f(x) = x^2 |x| = x^3$ for $x \geq 0$ and $-x^3$ for $x < 0$. $f'(x) = 3x^2$ for $x \geq 0$ and $-3x^2$ for $x < 0$. $f''(x) = 6x$ for $x \geq 0$ and $-6x$ for $x < 0$. At $x=0$,$f''(0) = 0$ from both sides,so it is twice differentiable.
Statement-$4$: False. If $f'(c) = 0$,the inverse function $f^{-1}$ is not differentiable at $f(c)$. For example,$f(x) = x^3$ at $x=0$ is differentiable,but $f^{-1}(x) = x^{1/3}$ is not differentiable at $x=0$.

(D) Given the parametric equations $x = \sec^2 t$ and $y = \cot t$.
Eliminating $t$ using the identity $\sec^2 t = 1 + \tan^2 t = 1 + \frac{1}{\cot^2 t}$,we get $x = 1 + \frac{1}{y^2}$,which simplifies to $y^2(x - 1) = 1$.
At $t = \pi / 4$,$x = \sec^2(\pi / 4) = 2$ and $y = \cot(\pi / 4) = 1$. So,$P = (2, 1)$.
Differentiating $y^2(x - 1) = 1$ with respect to $x$: $2y \frac{dy}{dx}(x - 1) + y^2 = 0$.
At $P(2, 1)$,$2(1) \frac{dy}{dx}(2 - 1) + 1^2 = 0 \implies 2 \frac{dy}{dx} + 1 = 0 \implies \frac{dy}{dx} = -1/2$.
The equation of the tangent at $P(2, 1)$ is $y - 1 = -\frac{1}{2}(x - 2) \implies 2y - 2 = -x + 2 \implies x + 2y = 4$.
Substitute $x = 4 - 2y$ into the curve equation $y^2(x - 1) = 1$: $y^2(4 - 2y - 1) = 1 \implies y^2(3 - 2y) = 1 \implies 3y^2 - 2y^3 = 1 \implies 2y^3 - 3y^2 + 1 = 0$.
Since $P$ is a point of tangency,$y = 1$ is a double root. Dividing $2y^3 - 3y^2 + 1$ by $(y - 1)^2 = y^2 - 2y + 1$,we get $(y - 1)^2(2y + 1) = 0$.
The other root is $y = -1/2$. Then $x = 4 - 2(-1/2) = 4 + 1 = 5$. So,$Q = (5, -1/2)$.
The distance $|PQ| = \sqrt{(5 - 2)^2 + (-1/2 - 1)^2} = \sqrt{3^2 + (-3/2)^2} = \sqrt{9 + 9/4} = \sqrt{45/4} = \frac{3\sqrt{5}}{2}$.

(A) The equation is $|\ln x| = px$. Let $f(x) = |\ln x|$ and $g(x) = px$.
For $x \ge 1$,$f(x) = \ln x$. The line $y = px$ is tangent to $y = \ln x$ when the derivative of $\ln x$ equals the slope $p$,i.e.,$1/x = p$.
Since the point of tangency $(x_1, y_1)$ lies on both curves,$y_1 = \ln x_1$ and $y_1 = px_1$.
Thus,$px_1 = \ln x_1$. Substituting $p = 1/x_1$,we get $(1/x_1)x_1 = \ln x_1$,which implies $\ln x_1 = 1$,so $x_1 = e$.
Then $p = 1/e$.
For $x \in (0, 1)$,$f(x) = -\ln x$. The line $y = px$ always intersects $y = -\ln x$ at exactly one point for any $p > 0$.
For $x \ge 1$,the line $y = px$ intersects $y = \ln x$ at two points if $0 < p < 1/e$,at one point if $p = 1/e$,and at zero points if $p > 1/e$.
Therefore,for three distinct roots (one in $(0, 1)$ and two in $(1, \infty)$),we must have $0 < p < 1/e$.

(C) critical point occurs where $f'(x) = 0$ or where $f'(x)$ is undefined.
For $x < 1$,$f'(x) = \frac{3}{5}x^{-2/5} = \frac{3}{5x^{2/5}}$. $f'(x)$ is undefined at $x = 0$. Thus,$x = 0$ is a critical point.
For $x > 1$,$f'(x) = -3(x - 2)^2$. Setting $f'(x) = 0$ gives $x = 2$. Thus,$x = 2$ is a critical point.
At $x = 1$,we check for continuity and differentiability:
$f(1) = 1^{3/5} = 1$.
$\lim_{x \to 1^-} f(x) = 1$ and $\lim_{x \to 1^+} f(x) = -(1 - 2)^3 = 1$. So $f(x)$ is continuous at $x = 1$.
Left-hand derivative at $x = 1$: $f'(1^-) = \frac{3}{5(1)^{2/5}} = \frac{3}{5}$.
Right-hand derivative at $x = 1$: $f'(1^+) = -3(1 - 2)^2 = -3$.
Since $f'(1^-) \neq f'(1^+)$,$f(x)$ is not differentiable at $x = 1$. Thus,$x = 1$ is a critical point.
The critical points are $x = 0, 1, 2$. Therefore,there are $3$ critical points.

(B) To find the number of roots of the equation $x^2 \cdot e^{2 - |x|} = 1$,we analyze the function $f(x) = x^2 \cdot e^{2 - |x|}$.
Since $f(x)$ is an even function $(f(x) = f(-x))$,we first analyze $f(x)$ for $x \ge 0$,where $f(x) = x^2 \cdot e^{2 - x}$.
Taking the derivative: $f'(x) = 2x \cdot e^{2 - x} - x^2 \cdot e^{2 - x} = x(2 - x) \cdot e^{2 - x}$.
Setting $f'(x) = 0$,we find critical points at $x = 0$ and $x = 2$.
At $x = 0$,$f(0) = 0$. At $x = 2$,$f(2) = 2^2 \cdot e^{2 - 2} = 4 \cdot 1 = 4$.
As $x \to \infty$,$f(x) \to 0$. Thus,for $x \ge 0$,the function increases from $0$ to $4$ and then decreases towards $0$.
Since the function is even,the graph is symmetric about the $y$-axis. The maximum value is $4$ at $x = 2$ and $x = -2$,and the minimum value is $0$ at $x = 0$.
We are looking for the number of solutions to $f(x) = 1$. Since $0 < 1 < 4$,the horizontal line $y = 1$ intersects the graph of $f(x)$ at two points for $x > 0$ and two points for $x < 0$.
Therefore,there are $4$ roots in total.

(B) Given $f(x) = x \cos x - \sin x$.
First,check for parity: $f(-x) = (-x) \cos(-x) - \sin(-x) = -x \cos x + \sin x = -f(x)$. Thus,$f$ is an odd function.
Now,find the derivative: $f'(x) = (1 \cdot \cos x - x \sin x) - \cos x = -x \sin x$.
For $x = 0$,$f'(0) = 0$. For $x$ slightly less than $0$ $(x < 0)$,$f'(x) = (-x) \sin x > 0$ (since $\sin x < 0$). For $x$ slightly greater than $0$ $(x > 0)$,$f'(x) = (-x) \sin x < 0$ (since $\sin x > 0$).
Wait,checking the derivative sign again: $f'(x) = -x \sin x$. If $x$ is small positive,$f'(x) = - (\text{positive}) \cdot (\text{positive}) < 0$. If $x$ is small negative,$f'(x) = - (\text{negative}) \cdot (\text{negative}) < 0$. Since $f'(x) < 0$ in the neighborhood of $x=0$,the function is monotonically decreasing at $x=0$. Thus,option $B$ is correct.

(C) Given $f(x) = 2x^3 + 9x^2 + 12x + 1$.
First,find the derivative: $f'(x) = 6x^2 + 18x + 12 = 6(x^2 + 3x + 2) = 6(x + 2)(x + 1)$.
Setting $f'(x) = 0$ gives critical points $x = -2$ and $x = -1$.
For $x < -2$,$f'(x) > 0$ (increasing).
For $-2 < x < -1$,$f'(x) < 0$ (decreasing).
For $x > -1$,$f'(x) > 0$ (increasing).
Thus,the function is non-monotonic (it increases,then decreases,then increases).
Next,find the second derivative for the inflection point: $f''(x) = 12x + 18$. Setting $f''(x) = 0$ gives $x = -18/12 = -3/2$.
Since the function has local maxima and minima,it is a many-to-one function and therefore not bijective.
Statement $A$ is true (it is non-monotonic).
Statement $B$ is true (based on the intervals of increase/decrease).
Statement $D$ is true (inflection point at $x = -3/2$).
Statement $C$ is false because the function is not bijective.

(D) Given $g(x) = \ln(h(x))$.
Differentiating with respect to $x$,we get:
$g'(x) = \frac{h'(x)}{h(x)}$.
Differentiating again with respect to $x$ using the quotient rule:
$g''(x) = \frac{h(x)h''(x) - (h'(x))^2}{(h(x))^2}$.
We are given that $(h'(x))^2 > h''(x) h(x)$,which implies $h(x)h''(x) - (h'(x))^2 < 0$.
Since $(h(x))^2 > 0$ for all $x \in J$,it follows that $g''(x) = \frac{h(x)h''(x) - (h'(x))^2}{(h(x))^2} < 0$.
Since $g''(x) < 0$ for all $x \in J$,the function $g$ is concave down on $J$.

(D) Let the line be $y = c$. The curve is $y = \sqrt{x}$.
At the point of intersection $P(x, y)$,we have $y = \sqrt{x}$,so $x = y^2$. Since $y = c$,the point $P$ is $(c^2, c)$.
The slope of the tangent to the curve $y = \sqrt{x}$ at any point is given by $\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{1}{2\sqrt{x}}$.
At point $P(c^2, c)$,the slope is $m = \frac{1}{2\sqrt{c^2}} = \frac{1}{2c}$.
The angle between the curve and the line $y = c$ (which is parallel to the $x$-axis) is given as $\frac{\pi}{4}$.
The slope of the line $y = c$ is $0$. The angle $\theta$ between the curve and the line is given by $\tan(\theta) = \left| \frac{m_1 - m_2}{1 + m_1 m_2} \right|$.
Here,$\tan\left(\frac{\pi}{4}\right) = \left| \frac{\frac{1}{2c} - 0}{1 + \frac{1}{2c} \cdot 0} \right| = \frac{1}{2c}$.
Since $1 = \frac{1}{2c}$,we get $2c = 1$,which implies $c = \frac{1}{2}$.
Thus,the equation of the line is $y = \frac{1}{2}$.

(A) Given $f(x) = ax^2 - b|x|$.
For $x \geq 0$,$f(x) = ax^2 - bx$. The derivative is $f'(x) = 2ax - b$. At $x=0$,$f'(0) = -b$.
For $x < 0$,$f(x) = ax^2 + bx$. The derivative is $f'(x) = 2ax + b$. At $x=0$,$f'(0) = b$.
Case $1$: If $a > 0$ and $b > 0$,then for $x$ slightly greater than $0$,$f(x) \approx -bx < 0$,and for $x$ slightly less than $0$,$f(x) \approx bx < 0$. Since $f(0) = 0$,$f(x) < f(0)$ for $x$ near $0$. Thus,$f(x)$ has a local maxima at $x = 0$.
Case $2$: If $a > 0$ and $b < 0$,let $b = -k$ where $k > 0$. Then $f(x) = ax^2 + k|x|$. Since $a > 0$ and $k > 0$,$f(x) > 0$ for all $x \neq 0$ and $f(0) = 0$. Thus,$f(x)$ has a local minima at $x = 0$.
Therefore,the correct statement is that $f(x)$ has a maxima whenever $a > 0, b > 0$.

(D) $1$. Analyze the sign changes of $f'(x)$ around critical points:
- At $x = -5$: $f'(x)$ changes from positive to negative. By the First Derivative Test,$f(x)$ has a relative maximum at $x = -5$.
- At $x = 2$: $f'(x)$ changes from negative to positive. By the First Derivative Test,$f(x)$ has a relative minimum at $x = 2$. Since $f'(2)$ is undefined,this is a sharp corner (cusp).
- At $x = 4$: $f'(x)$ changes from positive to negative. By the First Derivative Test,$f(x)$ has a relative maximum at $x = 4$.
$2$. Evaluate the options:
- Option $A$: Incorrect,$x = -5$ is a relative maximum.
- Option $B$: Incorrect,$x = 2$ is a relative minimum.
- Option $C$: Incorrect,$x = 4$ is a relative maximum.
- Option $D$: Correct,since $f'(2)$ is undefined and $f(x)$ is continuous,the graph must have a sharp corner at $x = 2$.

(C) $1$. Analyze the sign of $f'(x)$:
- $f'(x) > 0$ for $x \in (-\infty, -5) \cup (2, 4)$,so $f(x)$ is increasing on these intervals.
- $f'(x) < 0$ for $x \in (-5, 2) \cup (4, \infty)$,so $f(x)$ is decreasing on these intervals.
$2$. Analyze concavity using $f''(x)$:
- Given that $f''(x) < 0$ for all $x \neq 2$,the function is concave down on the intervals $(-\infty, 2)$ and $(2, \infty)$.
- Since the concavity does not change sign (it remains negative everywhere except at the undefined point $x=2$),there are no points of inflection.
$3$. Evaluate the options:
- Option $C$ states the curve is always concave down,which is consistent with $f''(x) < 0$ for all $x \neq 2$ and the continuity of $f(x)$ at $x=2$.

(B) From the given information:
$1$. $f'(-5) = 0$ and $f'(4) = 0$ implies stationary points at $x = -5$ and $x = 4$.
$2$. $f'(x) > 0$ for $x < -5$ and $f'(x) < 0$ for $-5 < x < 2$ implies a local maximum at $x = -5$.
$3$. $f'(2)$ is undefined,indicating a sharp corner or cusp at $x = 2$.
$4$. $f'(x) > 0$ for $2 < x < 4$ and $f'(x) < 0$ for $x > 4$ implies a local maximum at $x = 4$.
$5$. $f''(x) < 0$ everywhere else implies the function is concave down everywhere except at $x = 2$.
Comparing these properties with the given options:
- Option $A$ shows a local minimum at $x = -5$,which is incorrect.
- Option $B$ shows a local maximum at $x = -5$ and a local maximum at $x = 4$,with a cusp at $x = 2$,and the graph is concave down throughout. This matches all conditions.
- Option $C$ shows a local maximum at $x = -5$ but a local minimum at $x = 4$,which is incorrect.
- Option $D$ shows a local maximum at $x = -5$ but a local minimum at $x = 4$,which is incorrect.
Thus,the correct graph is $B$.

(D) Given the curve $y \cot x = y^3 \tan x$.
This can be written as $y \cot x - y^3 \tan x = 0$,or $y (\cot x - y^2 \tan x) = 0$.
This implies $y = 0$ or $y^2 = \frac{\cot x}{\tan x} = \cot^2 x$.
At $x = \frac{\pi}{4}$,$\cot^2(\frac{\pi}{4}) = 1^2 = 1$,so $y^2 = 1$,which gives $y = 1$ or $y = -1$.
Case $1$: $y = 1$. Differentiating $y^2 = \cot^2 x$ with respect to $x$,we get $2y \frac{dy}{dx} = 2 \cot x (-\csc^2 x)$.
At $x = \frac{\pi}{4}, y = 1$,we have $2(1) \frac{dy}{dx} = 2(1)(-(\sqrt{2})^2) = -4$,so $\frac{dy}{dx} = -2$.
The tangent equation is $y - 1 = -2(x - \frac{\pi}{4}) \implies y - 1 = -2x + \frac{\pi}{2} \implies 2x + y = 1 + \frac{\pi}{2} \implies 4x + 2y = 2 + \pi$.
Case $2$: $y = -1$. At $x = \frac{\pi}{4}, y = -1$,we have $2(-1) \frac{dy}{dx} = 2(1)(-2) = -4$,so $\frac{dy}{dx} = 2$.
The tangent equation is $y + 1 = 2(x - \frac{\pi}{4}) \implies y + 1 = 2x - \frac{\pi}{2} \implies 2x - y = 1 + \frac{\pi}{2} \implies 4x - 2y = 2 + \pi$.
Since both $4x + 2y = \pi + 2$ and $4x - 2y = \pi + 2$ are valid tangents,the correct option is $D$.

(C) point of inflection is a point on a curve at which the concavity changes (i.e.,from concave up to concave down or vice versa).
In graph $A$,the function is discontinuous at $x = c$,so it is not a point of inflection.
In graph $B$,the function has a sharp turn (cusp) at $x = c$,which is a local maximum,not a point of inflection.
In graph $C$,the curve changes its concavity at $x = c$ (from concave up to concave down),which is the definition of a point of inflection.
Therefore,the correct graph is $C$.

(B) For $f(x)$ to be continuous at $x = \frac{1}{2}$,the left-hand limit,right-hand limit,and the value of the function must be equal:
$\lim_{x \to \frac{1}{2}^-} \tan^{-1}(\frac{\alpha x + \beta}{\gamma}) = 0$ and $\lim_{x \to \frac{1}{2}^+} \ln(\beta x^2 + 2) = 0$.
From $\ln(\frac{\beta}{4} + 2) = 0$,we get $\frac{\beta}{4} + 2 = 1$,which implies $\beta = -4$.
From $\tan^{-1}(\frac{\alpha/2 + \beta}{\gamma}) = 0$,we get $\frac{\alpha}{2} + \beta = 0$. Substituting $\beta = -4$,we get $\frac{\alpha}{2} - 4 = 0$,so $\alpha = 8$.
For differentiability at $x = \frac{1}{2}$,the derivatives from both sides must be equal:
$\frac{d}{dx} [\tan^{-1}(\frac{\alpha x + \beta}{\gamma})] = \frac{1}{1 + (\frac{\alpha x + \beta}{\gamma})^2} \cdot \frac{\alpha}{\gamma}$. At $x = \frac{1}{2}$,this is $\frac{\alpha}{\gamma}$ (since $\alpha x + \beta = 0$).
$\frac{d}{dx} [\ln(\beta x^2 + 2)] = \frac{2 \beta x}{\beta x^2 + 2}$. At $x = \frac{1}{2}$,this is $\frac{\beta}{-4/4 + 2} = \frac{-4}{1} = -4$.
Thus,$\frac{\alpha}{\gamma} = -4 \Rightarrow \frac{8}{\gamma} = -4 \Rightarrow \gamma = -2$.
Finally,$\alpha + \beta + \gamma = 8 - 4 - 2 = 2$.

(C) Let $f(x) = \frac{e^{e^{x^2}} - e}{x}$. We need to find $\lim_{x \to 0} f'(x)$.
Using the quotient rule,$f'(x) = \frac{x \cdot \frac{d}{dx}(e^{e^{x^2}} - e) - (e^{e^{x^2}} - e) \cdot 1}{x^2}$.
$f'(x) = \frac{x \cdot (e^{e^{x^2}} \cdot e^{x^2} \cdot 2x) - (e^{e^{x^2}} - e)}{x^2}$.
$f'(x) = 2e^{e^{x^2}} \cdot e^{x^2} - \frac{e^{e^{x^2}} - e}{x^2}$.
As $x \to 0$,$2e^{e^{x^2}} \cdot e^{x^2} \to 2e^1 \cdot e^0 = 2e$.
For the second term,let $u = x^2$. As $x \to 0$,$u \to 0$. The limit becomes $\lim_{u \to 0} \frac{e^{e^u} - e}{u} = \lim_{u \to 0} e \cdot \frac{e^{e^u - 1} - 1}{u}$.
Using the standard limit $\lim_{t \to 0} \frac{e^t - 1}{t} = 1$,where $t = e^u - 1$,we get $e \cdot \lim_{u \to 0} \frac{e^u - 1}{u} = e \cdot 1 = e$.
Thus,the limit is $2e - e = e$.

(A) Let $f(x) = a(x-x_1)(x-x_2)\dots(x-x_{10})$ where $x_1 < x_2 < \dots < x_{10}$ are distinct real roots.
Taking the natural logarithm on both sides,we get $\ln|f(x)| = \ln|a| + \sum_{i=1}^{10} \ln|x-x_i|$.
Differentiating with respect to $x$,we have $\frac{f'(x)}{f(x)} = \sum_{i=1}^{10} \frac{1}{x-x_i}$.
Differentiating again with respect to $x$,we get $\frac{f''(x)f(x) - (f'(x))^2}{(f(x))^2} = -\sum_{i=1}^{10} \frac{1}{(x-x_i)^2}$.
This implies $\frac{(f'(x))^2 - f(x)f''(x)}{(f(x))^2} = \sum_{i=1}^{10} \frac{1}{(x-x_i)^2}$.
Since the right-hand side is a sum of squares of real numbers,it is always strictly positive for all $x \neq x_i$.
Thus,$(f'(x))^2 - f(x)f''(x) = (f(x))^2 \sum_{i=1}^{10} \frac{1}{(x-x_i)^2} > 0$ for all $x \neq x_i$.
At $x = x_i$,$(f'(x_i))^2 - f(x_i)f''(x_i) = (f'(x_i))^2 > 0$ because the roots are distinct.
Therefore,the expression $(f'(x))^2 - f(x)f''(x)$ is always strictly positive and has no real roots.

(A) Given $f(x) + \int\limits_0^x g(t)dt = 2\sin x - \frac{\pi}{2}$.
By differentiating both sides with respect to $x$,we get $f'(x) + g(x) = 2\cos x$ .......$(1)$.
We are also given $f'(x)g(x) = \cos^2 x$ .......$(2)$.
From $(1)$,$f'(x) = 2\cos x - g(x)$. Substituting this into $(2)$:
$(2\cos x - g(x))g(x) = \cos^2 x$
$2\cos x \cdot g(x) - g(x)^2 = \cos^2 x$
$g(x)^2 - 2\cos x \cdot g(x) + \cos^2 x = 0$
$(g(x) - \cos x)^2 = 0$,which implies $g(x) = \cos x$.
Substituting $g(x) = \cos x$ into $(1)$,$f'(x) = 2\cos x - \cos x = \cos x$.
Integrating $f'(x) = \cos x$,we get $f(x) = \sin x + C$.
Using the original equation at $x = 0$: $f(0) + \int\limits_0^0 g(t)dt = 2\sin(0) - \frac{\pi}{2} \Rightarrow f(0) = -\frac{\pi}{2}$.
Since $f(0) = \sin(0) + C = -\frac{\pi}{2}$,we have $C = -\frac{\pi}{2}$.
Thus,$f(x) = \sin x - \frac{\pi}{2}$.
The equation $f(x) + g(x) = 0$ becomes $\sin x - \frac{\pi}{2} + \cos x = 0$,or $\sin x + \cos x = \frac{\pi}{2}$.
Dividing by $\sqrt{2}$,we get $\sin(x + \frac{\pi}{4}) = \frac{\pi}{2\sqrt{2}}$.
Since $\frac{\pi}{2\sqrt{2}} \approx \frac{3.14}{2.828} \approx 1.11 > 1$,the equation $\sin(x + \frac{\pi}{4}) = 1.11$ has no real solutions.

(A) Given $f(x) = \begin{cases} -\frac{1}{x}, & x \le -1 \\ ax^2 + b, & -1 < x < 1 \\ \frac{1}{x}, & x \ge 1 \end{cases}$.
Since $f(x)$ is continuous and differentiable everywhere,it must be continuous and differentiable at $x = 1$ and $x = -1$.
For continuity at $x = 1$: $\lim_{x \to 1^-} f(x) = \lim_{x \to 1^+} f(x) = f(1)$.
$a(1)^2 + b = \frac{1}{1} \Rightarrow a + b = 1$.
For differentiability at $x = 1$: $f'(x) = \begin{cases} \frac{1}{x^2}, & x < -1 \\ 2ax, & -1 < x < 1 \\ -\frac{1}{x^2}, & x > 1 \end{cases}$.
Left-hand derivative at $x = 1$: $f'(1^-) = 2a(1) = 2a$.
Right-hand derivative at $x = 1$: $f'(1^+) = -\frac{1}{(1)^2} = -1$.
Since $f'(1^-) = f'(1^+)$,we have $2a = -1 \Rightarrow a = -\frac{1}{2}$.
Substituting $a = -\frac{1}{2}$ into $a + b = 1$: $-\frac{1}{2} + b = 1 \Rightarrow b = \frac{3}{2}$.

(C) Given $f(x) = x|x|$ and $g(x) = \sin x$.
$h(x) = g(f(x)) = \sin(x|x|)$.
Since $x|x| = x^2$ for $x \ge 0$ and $-x^2$ for $x < 0$,we have $h(x) = \begin{cases} \sin(x^2) & x \ge 0 \\ -\sin(x^2) & x < 0 \end{cases}$.
Now,$h'(x) = \begin{cases} 2x \cos(x^2) & x \ge 0 \\ -2x \cos(x^2) & x < 0 \end{cases}$.
At $x = 0$,$LHL = \lim_{x \to 0^-} (-2x \cos(x^2)) = 0$ and $RHL = \lim_{x \to 0^+} (2x \cos(x^2)) = 0$. Since $h'(0) = 0$,$h'(x)$ is continuous at $x = 0$.
Now,check differentiability of $h'(x)$ at $x = 0$ by finding $h''(x)$:
$h''(x) = \begin{cases} 2 \cos(x^2) - 4x^2 \sin(x^2) & x > 0 \\ -2 \cos(x^2) + 4x^2 \sin(x^2) & x < 0 \end{cases}$.
$LHD = \lim_{x \to 0^-} (-2 \cos(x^2) + 4x^2 \sin(x^2)) = -2$.
$RHD = \lim_{x \to 0^+} (2 \cos(x^2) - 4x^2 \sin(x^2)) = 2$.
Since $LHD \neq RHD$,$h'(x)$ is not differentiable at $x = 0$.

(D) Given the function $f(x) = x^3 + 1$.
To check for local extrema,we find the derivative: $f'(x) = 3x^2$.
Setting $f'(x) = 0$,we get $3x^2 = 0$,which implies $x = 0$.
Now,we check the sign of $f'(x)$ around $x = 0$:
For $x < 0$,$f'(x) = 3x^2 > 0$.
For $x > 0$,$f'(x) = 3x^2 > 0$.
Since the derivative $f'(x)$ does not change sign as $x$ passes through $0$,the function $f(x)$ does not have a local extremum at $x = 0$. Thus,Statement $1$ is false.
For Statement $2$: The function $f(x) = x^3 + 1$ is a polynomial function,which is continuous and differentiable everywhere on $( -\infty, \infty )$.
Also,$f'(x) = 3x^2$,so $f'(0) = 3(0)^2 = 0$. Thus,Statement $2$ is true.
Therefore,Statement $1$ is false and Statement $2$ is true.
