16.	(x) \( f(x)=\left\{\begin{array}{r}(x-a)^{2} \cos \frac{1}{x-a}, x \neq a \\ 1, x=a\end{array}\right. \) at \( x=a \)
Answer» \( f(x) = \begin{cases} (x-a)^2 & cos\,\frac{1}{x-a},x≠a\\ & 1,x=a\\ \end{cases} \) Now, \(\lim_{x\to a}\) f(x) = \(\lim_{x\to a}\) (x - a)² cos\((\frac{1}{x-a})\) = \(\lim_{x\to a}\) (x - a)² x l (where l = \(\lim_{x\to a}\) cos\((\frac{1}{x-a})\) ∴ l \(\leq\) l \(\leq\) 1 (bounded value) = (a - a)² x l = 0 x l = 0 \(\neq\) 1 \(\lim_{x\to a}\) f(x) \(\neq\) f(a) \(\Rightarrow\) f(x) is not continuous at x = a

16.

(x) \( f(x)=\left\{\begin{array}{r}(x-a)^{2} \cos \frac{1}{x-a}, x \neq a \\ 1, x=a\end{array}\right. \) at \( x=a \)

Answer»

\( f(x) = \begin{cases} (x-a)^2 & cos\,\frac{1}{x-a},x≠a\\ & 1,x=a\\ \end{cases} \)

Now,

\(\lim_{x\to a}\) f(x) = \(\lim_{x\to a}\) (x - a)² cos\((\frac{1}{x-a})\)

= \(\lim_{x\to a}\) (x - a)² x l

(where l = \(\lim_{x\to a}\) cos\((\frac{1}{x-a})\)

∴ l \(\leq\) l \(\leq\) 1 (bounded value)

= (a - a)² x l

= 0 x l

= 0 \(\neq\) 1

\(\lim_{x\to a}\) f(x) \(\neq\) f(a)

\(\Rightarrow\) f(x) is not continuous at x = a

18.

Solve the system of equations by Cramer's rule:3x + 2y - 2z = 1-x + y - 4z = 132x - 3y + 4z = 8

Answer»

Matrix form of given linear programming is AX = B,

Where A = \(\begin{bmatrix}3&2&-2\\-1&1&-4\\2&-3&4\end{bmatrix},\) x = \(\begin{bmatrix}x\\y\\z\end{bmatrix},\) B = \(\begin{bmatrix}1\\13\\8\end{bmatrix}\)

\(\therefore\) D = |A| = \(\begin{vmatrix}3&2&2\\-1&1&-4\\2&-3&4\end{vmatrix}\) = \(3\begin{vmatrix}1&-4\\-3&4\end{vmatrix}-2\begin{vmatrix}-1&-4\\2&4\end{vmatrix}\)\(-2\begin{vmatrix}-1&1\\2&-3\end{vmatrix}\)

= 3(4 - 12) - 2(-4 + 8) -2 (3 - 2)

= -24 - 8 - 2 = -34

D_x = \(\begin{vmatrix}1&2&-2\\13&1&-4\\8&-3&4\end{vmatrix}\) = \(1\begin{vmatrix}1&-4\\-1&4\end{vmatrix}-2\begin{vmatrix}13&-4\\8&4\end{vmatrix}\)\(-2\begin{vmatrix}13&1\\8&-3\end{vmatrix}\)

= (4 - 12) - (52 + 32) - 2(-39 - 8)

= -8 - 168 + 94 = -176 + 94 = -82

D_y = \(\begin{vmatrix}3&1&-2\\-1&13&-4\\2&8&4\end{vmatrix}\) = \(3\begin{vmatrix}13&-4\\8&4\end{vmatrix}-1\begin{vmatrix}-1&-4\\2&4\end{vmatrix}\)\(-2\begin{vmatrix}-1&13\\2&8\end{vmatrix}\)

= 3(52 + 32) - 1(-4 + 8) - 2(-8 - 26)

= 252 - 4 + 68 = 320 - 4 = 316

D_z = \(\begin{vmatrix}3&2&1\\-1&1&13\\2&-3&8\end{vmatrix}\) = \(3\begin{vmatrix}1&13\\-3&8\end{vmatrix}-2\begin{vmatrix}-1&13\\2&8\end{vmatrix}\)\(1\begin{vmatrix}-1&1\\2&-3\end{vmatrix}\)

= 3(8 + 39) - 2(-8 - 26) + (3 - 2)

= 141 + 68 + 1 = 210

\(\therefore\) x = \(\frac{Dx}D=\frac{-82}{-34}=\frac{41}{17}\)

y = \(\frac{Dy}D=\frac{316}{-34}=\frac{-158}{17}\)

z = \(\frac{Dz}D=\frac{210}{-34}=\frac{-105}{17}\)

Hence, solution of given linear programming is

x = 41/17, y = -158/17 and -105/17.

50.	Give reasons to prove that the future generations remember easily the Victor more than the Vanquished with relevant references from King Richard’s speech.
Answer» Unusually future generations remember victors. But there are rare instances of just rulers falling due to the conspiracy and greed of an aggressor. On such occasions, future generations remember the vanquished. A Shiva devotee king was very generous. His enemies entered his kingdom under the guise of Shiva devotees in saffron clothes and slew the king and captured his kingdom. Alexander, King Richard was a just ruler. He was loved by his subjects and loyal nobles. He was defeated by his rebellious cousin simply because he wanted to be a king. When Richard was thinking about the welfare of his subjects, Bolingbroke was secretly raising an army to dethrone him. People who are mad after power resort to unjust means. So, British subjects respected and loved the vanquished but were helpless. Defeated Porus had fought so valiantly and wanted to be treated with respect befitting a king. Alexander himself respected him and returned his kingdom and sealed a life time friendship with him. From King Richard’s speech one understands that he was good at heart but in the strategy of war, he was not good. Like a crooked end of a straight walking stick, a ruler has to have some secret deals with neighbouring countries to be protected during crisis.

50.

Give reasons to prove that the future generations remember easily the Victor more than the Vanquished with relevant references from King Richard’s speech.

Answer»

Unusually future generations remember victors. But there are rare instances of just rulers falling due to the conspiracy and greed of an aggressor. On such occasions, future generations remember the vanquished. A Shiva devotee king was very generous. His enemies entered his kingdom under the guise of Shiva devotees in saffron clothes and slew the king and captured his kingdom. Alexander, King Richard was a just ruler. He was loved by his subjects and loyal nobles.

He was defeated by his rebellious cousin simply because he wanted to be a king. When Richard was thinking about the welfare of his subjects, Bolingbroke was secretly raising an army to dethrone him. People who are mad after power resort to unjust means. So, British subjects respected and loved the vanquished but were helpless. Defeated Porus had fought so valiantly and wanted to be treated with respect befitting a king. Alexander himself respected him and returned his kingdom and sealed a life time friendship with him. From King Richard’s speech one understands that he was good at heart but in the strategy of war, he was not good.

Like a crooked end of a straight walking stick, a ruler has to have some secret deals with neighbouring countries to be protected during crisis. Bolingbroke turned out to be a more assertive and Shrewd king. But people would remember a just and noble person more even if defeated.
