*Harmonic Points*

Algebra Level 4

Here is the definition of Harmonic Points : If point A A and B B are on the graph of function f ( x ) f(x) and g ( x ) g(x) respectively and A A and B B are symmetric along the x x -axis, then A A and B B are called a pair of Harmonic Points for the function f ( x ) f(x) and g ( x ) g(x) .

If f ( x ) = { 2 x e x + 1 , x 0 x 2 2 x , x > 0 f(x)=\begin{cases} 2xe^{x+1}, & x \leq 0 \\ \dfrac{x^2}2-x, & x>0 \end{cases} , g ( x ) = e 2 a x g(x)= \dfrac{\sqrt{e}}{2}-ax , and f ( x ) f(x) and g ( x ) g(x) have exactly 4 4 pairs of Harmonic Points , find the range of a a .

The range can be expressed as ( l , r ) (l,r) . Submit 1000 ( 2 r l ) \lfloor 1000(2r-l) \rfloor .


The answer is 3013.

to find the no of harmonic points we take mirror of the f(x) and see where its cuts g(x) then find the limits by finding the tangent to the equation from the point(0, e ) \sqrt{e}) /2) see this graph for visualisation.
