Find the number of 10-tuples (a1; a2;....., a10) of integers such that |a1| ≤ 1 and a21 + a22 + a23+ ...... + a210 - a1a2 - a2a3 - a3a4 -.... a9a10 - a10a1 = 2. |
|
Answer» Let a11 = a1. Multiplying the given equation by 2 we get (a1 - a2)2 + (a2 - a3)2 + .... (a10 - a1)2 = 4. Note that if ai - ai+1 = ±2 for some i = 1; .....10, then aj - aj+1 = 0 for all j ≠ i which contradicts the equality ∑10i=1(ai - ai+1) = 0. Therefore ai - ai+1 = 1 for exactly two values of i in {1, 2....10}, ai - ai+1 = -1 for two other values of i and ai - ai+1 = 0 for all other values of i. There are (10, 2) x (8, 2) = 45 x 28 possible ways of choosing these values. Note that a1 = -1, 0 or 1, so in total there are 3 x 45 x 28 possible integer solutions to the given equation. |

Let ABC be a triangle with∠A = 900 and AB = AC. Let D and E be points on the segment BC such that BD : DE: EC = 3 : 5: 4. Prove that ∠DAE = 450 |
|
Answer» Rotating the conguraiton about A by 900, the point B goes to the point C. Let P denote the image of the point D under this rotation. Then CP = BD and ∠ACP = ∠ABC = 450, so ECP is a right-angled triangle with CE : CP = 4 : 3. Hence PE = ED. It follows that ADEP is a kite with AP = AD and PE = ED. Therefore AE is the angular bisector of ∠PAD. This implies that ∠DAE = ∠PAD/2 = 450. |

Write the principle differences among plant cell, animal cell and microbial cell. |
|
Answer» Plants and bacteria both have cell walls but they are shaped differently. Unlike bacteria cells, plant cells and animal cells both have membrane bound organelles such as a nucleus, ribosomes, lysosomes, Golgi apparatus, endoplasmic reticulum, the cytoskeleton, microvilli, smooth endoplasmic reticulum and cell membranes. However, plants also have food vacuoles and chlorophylls which most animal cells don't have. Furthermore, plant and animal cells are both eukaryotic cells and bacteria cells are prokaryotes. Bacteria cells lack membrane bound organelles, don't have mitochondria and have a nucleoid where the genetic information is stored instead of a nucleus. Also, bacteria multiply by binary fission instead of mitosis and meiosis which are both used by eukaryotic cells. Bacteria use their cell membrane to produce ATP instead because they lack mitochondria. |
