If `x=at^(4)`, `y=bt^(3)`, then find ` (dy)/(dx)`.

Answer» This is called implicit differentiation or indirect differentiation. Here , both the given terms are differentiated independently w.r.t. a third variable and then combined together. Differentiating x and y w.r.t. t, we get
`(dx)/(dy)=4at^(3), " " (dy)/(dt)=3bt^(2)`
Dividing `(dy)/(dt)` by `(dx)/(dt)` , we get
`(dy)/(dx)=(dy)/(dt)xx(dt)/(dx)=(3bt^(2))/(4at^(3))=(3b)/(4at)`

(D2-2D+5)y = e2x ​​​​sin x​​​​​

Answer»

(D2 - 2D + 5)y = e2x sinx

For C.F, use m in place of D

m2 - 2m + 5 = 0

 ⇒ m = \(\frac{2 ± \sqrt{4-20}}{2}\)

 = \(\frac{2±4c}{2}\)

= 1 ± 2c

\(\therefore\) C.F = ex (C1cos 2x + c2 sin 2x)

P.I = \(\frac{1}{D^2 - 2D +5}\) e2x sinx

= e2x \(\frac{1}{(D+2)^2 -2(D+2) + 5} sinx\)

\(\bigg(\therefore \frac{1}{f(D) }e^{ax}V = e^{ax} \frac{1}{f(D+a)V}\bigg)\)

= e2x \(\frac{1}{D^2+2D + 5} sinx\)

= e2x \(\frac{1}{-1+2d+5}sinx\)

\(\bigg(\therefore \frac{1}{f(D^2)} sinax = \frac{1}{f(-a^2)} sinax\bigg)\)

 = e2x \(\frac{1}{2D + 4}\) sinx

\(\frac{e^{2x}}{2} \frac{D-2}{D^2 -4} sinx\)

 = \(\frac{e^{2x}}{2}\) \(\frac{(D-2)sinx}{-1-4}\)

\(\frac{e^{2x}}{-10}(Dsinx - 2sinx)\)

\(\frac{-e^{2x}}{10}(cos x -2sinx)\)

Complete solution y = ex (c1cos 2x + c2 sin2x)

 = \(\frac{-e^{2x}}{10}\) (cosx -2sinx)

Find the equation of the plane passing through the intersection of the planes 3x - y + 2z - 4 = 0 and x + y + z + 2 = 0 and the point (2, 2, 1)

Answer»

Equation of plane passing through intersection of the plane is (3x - y + 2z - 4) + λ (x + y + z + 2) = 0 

This plane pass through (2, 2, 1) 

3(2) - 2 + 2(1) -4 + λ(2 + 2 + 1 + 2) = 0 

2 + 7λ = 0 

λ = -2/7

Required equation of plane is 

(3x - y + 2z - 4) + (x + yz + 2) + 0 [xly by 7] 

21x - 7y + 14z - 28 - 2x - 2y - 2z - 4 = 0 

19x - 9y + 12z = 32

6.

A= i bar +2j bar +2k bar. Calculate angle between A bar and y axis.\(\vec A=\hat i+2\hat j+2\hat k\)

Answer»

\(\vec A=\hat i+2\hat j+2\hat k\)

Equation of  y-axis is \(\vec y=0\hat i+\hat j + 0\hat k\)

|\(\vec A\)| = \(\sqrt{1+4+4}=3\)

|\(\vec y\)| = \(\sqrt{0+1+0}=1\)

\(\vec A.\vec y=(\hat i+2\hat j+2\hat k).(0\hat i+\hat j+0\hat k)\)

⇒ |\(\vec A\)||\(\vec y\)| cos θ = 2, where θ is angle between \(\vec A\) and y - axis.

⇒ cos θ = \(\frac2{|\vec A||\vec y|}=\frac23\)

⇒ θ  = cos-1(2/3) ≈ 48.2°

P.T. 3cos-1x = cos-1(4x3 – 3x) x ∈ 1/2, 1

Answer»

cos-1 x = A Now 1/2≤ x ≤ 1 

cosA = x 

cos3A = 4cos3 A – 3cosA ⇒ 1/2 ≤ A < 1 

cos3A = 4x3 – 3x 

3A = cos-1(4x3 – 3x) ⇒ 0 ≤ A ≤ π/3

3cos-1x = cos-1 [4x3 – 3x] ⇒ 0 ≤ 3A ≤ π

8.

Find gof and fog if 1:R → R and g: R → R are given by f(x) = cosx and g(x) = 3x2 show that gof ≠ fog.

Answer»

f(x) = cosx 

g(x) = 3x2 

gof(x) = g[f(x)] 

= g[cosx] 

= 3cos2

fog(x) = f[g(x)] 

= f[3x2

= cos3x

fog ≠ gof

दो बहुभुजों में भुजाओ की संख्याओं का अनुपात `5:4` है । यदि बहुभुजों के आंतरिक कोणो का अंतर `6^(@)` हो , तो भुजाओं की संख्या ज्ञात करे ?A. 15,12B. 5,4C. 10,8D. 20,16

Answer» Correct Answer - A
Let the no. of sides is 5x and 4x
According to the question
`(180^(@) - 360^(@)/(5x)) - (180^(@)-360^(@)/(4x)) = 6^(@)`
`180^(@)-360^(@)/(5x) - 180^(@) + 360^(@)/(4x) = 6^(@)`
`360^(@)(1/(4x)-1/(5x)) = 6^(@)`
`1/(20x) = 1/60`, x=3
No. of sides are 5x and 4x = 15,12
17.

किसी बहुभुज के आंतरिक कोणो का योग 1080 है । बहुभुज की भुजाओं की संख्याए ज्ञात करे ?A. 6B. 8C. 10D. 12

According to question
Sum of interior angle =`(n-2) xx 180^(@)`
sum of interior of angle =`1080^(@)`
`(n-2) xx 180^(@)=1080^(@)`
`(n-2) = 1080^(@)/180`
`(n-2) = 1080^(@)/180`
`(n-2) = 6`
`n=6+2=8`
No. of sides n=8

According to question
Given: Interior angle- exterior angle = `150^(@)`…………..(i)
Interior angle + Exterior angle = `180^(@)`…………..(ii)
Interior angle= `165^(@)`
Exterior angle`=15^(@)`
`therefore =360^(@)/("Exterior angle")`
`=360^(@)/15^(@) = 24`

Answer» Correct Answer - A
Ratio of their radius
`r_(1)/r_(2) = 1/3`
Ratio of their arc = `2:1`
Let angle subtended by the arc of 2nd circle is `theta`
Then,
`30/theta=(2//1)/(1//3) = 6/1`
`theta=5^(@)`
22.

किसी बहुभुज में , बाह्य तथा अन्तः कोण का अनुपात 1:4 है । बहुभुज में भुजाएं ज्ञात करे ?A. 5B. 10C. 3D. 8

Answer» Correct Answer - B
According to question, `("Exterior angle")/("Interior angle")=1/4=x/(4x)`
Exterior angle + =`180^(@)` Exterior angle = `360^(@)/("No of sides" )`
`therefore x+4x = 180^(@)`
`5x = 180^(@)`
`x=36^(@)`
no. of sides =`360^(@)/("exterior angle")`
No. of sides = `360^(@)/36^(@)=10` = 10
24.

The circumference of a circle is 100 cm. The side of a square inscribed in the circle is (a) 50√2 cm(b) 100/π cm(c) 50√2/π cm(d) 100√2/π cm

Answer»

Correct answer is: (c) 50√2/π cm

2πr =100. So Diameter = 2r =100/π = diagonal of the square.

side√2 = diagonal of square = 100/ π 

\(\therefore\) side = 100/√2π = 50√2/π cm

26.

The number of solutions of 3x+y = 243 and 243x-y = 3 is (a) 0(b) 1(c) 2(d) infinite

Answer»

Correct answer is: (b) 1

3x+y = 243 = 35

So x + y =5----------(1)

243x-y = 3

(35)x-y = 31

So 5x -5y =1---------(2)

Since : \(\cfrac{a_1}{a_2}\neq\cfrac{b_1}{b_2}\), so unique solution

The parabola \( y=4-x^{2} \) has vertex \( P \). It intersects \( x \)-axis at \( A \) and \( B \). If the parabola is translated from its initial position to a new position by moving its vertex along the line \( y=x+4 \), so that it intersects \( x \)-axis at \( B \) and \( C \), then abscissa of \( C \) will be : (a) 3 (b) 4 (c) 6 (d) 8

Answer»

y = 4- xintersects x- axis at A and B

∵ 4 - x= 0 gives x = -2 or 2

Hence, (-2 ,0) & (2 ,0) are coordinates of A& B

Replace x by x + y in equation (i), we get 

y = 4- (x+ 4)2

⇒ 4 - (4 + 4)2  = 0 gives intersection points with x- axis

⇒ (x+4) 4 = (+/- 2)2 

⇒ x + 4 = -2 or x+4 = 2

⇒ x = -6 or x = -2

Hence, (-2,0)  & (-6,0) are coordinates of B & C

∴ B = (-20) , A (2,0)  C & (-6,0)

∴ abscissa of c will be -6
