Find the general solution of the differential equation dy/dx + y.cotx = 2x + x2.cotx

Answer»

dy/dx + y.cot x = 2x + x2 .cotx

Let P = cot x, Q = 2x + x2cot x 

I.F = e∫pdx = e∫cotxdx = e∫log(sin x) = sin x 

Sol is 

y (I.F) = ∫ (QxI.F) dx +C 

y sinx = ∫(2x + x2cotx)sin dx + c 

= ∫(2x + x2 cotx) dx +c 

= 2 ∫ x sin xdx + ∫x2 cosx dx + c 

= 2[x(-cosx)-(1)(-sinx)] +[x2 sinx - 2x(-cosx) + 2c(-sinx)] =2xcos x + 2sin x + x2sinx y sin x 

= x2 sinx + c 

This is the Required General solution for the given differential Equation.

Verify the following rules (as we did above). Here, \( a, b \) are non-zero integers and \( m, n \) are any integers.1. Product of same powers to power of product rule: \( a^{m} \times b^{m}=(a b)^{m} \)2. Quotient of same powers to power of quotient rule: \( \frac{a^{m}}{b^{m}}=\left(\frac{a}{b}\right)^{m} \)3. Zero exponent rule: \( a^{0}=1 \).

Answer»

(i) am x bm = [a x a x ... x a (m times)] x [b x b x ... x b (m times)]

= ab x ab x ... x ab (m times)

= (ab)m

(ii) (a/b)m = a/b x a/b x ... x a/b (m times)

\(=\frac{a\times a\times ...\times a(\text{m times})}{b\times b\times...\times b(\text{m times})}=\frac{a^m}{b^m}\)

(iii) ∵ am.a-m = am x 1/am = 1

⇒ am-m = 1 (∵ am.an = am+n)

⇒ a0 = 1

Why dimensional methods are applicable only up to three quantities?

Answer»

Understanding dimensions is of utmost importance as it helps us in studying the nature of physical quantities mathematically. The basic concept of dimensions is that we can add or subtract only those quantities which have same dimensions. Also, two physical quantities are equal if they have same dimensions, these basic ideas help us in deriving the new relation between physical quantities, it is just like units.

Write any four postulates of Kinetic theory of gases?

Answer»

1. A gas consists of a very large number of molecules. Each one is a perfectly identical elastic sphere. 

2. The molecules of a gas are in a state of continuous and random motion. They move in all directions with all possible velocities. 

3. The size of each molecule is very small as compared to the distance between them.

Hence, the volume occupied by the molecule is negligible in comparison to the volume of the gas:

4. There is no force of attraction or repulsion between the molecules and the walls of the container.

If a drop of water falls on a very hot iron, it takes long time to evaporate. Explain why?

Answer»

When a drop of water falls on a very hot iron it gets insulated from the hot iron due to a thin layer of water vapour which is a bad conductor of heat. It takes quite long to evaporate as heat is conducted from hot iron to the drop through the insulating layer of water vapour very slowly.

The surface area of a balloon of spherical shape being inflated, increases at a constant rate. If initially, the radius of balloon is 3 units and after 5 seconds, it becomes 7 units, then its radius after 9 seconds is :(A) 9(B) 10(C) 11(D) 12

Answer»

Correct option is (A) 9

Let r be the radius of spherical balloon

S = Surface area

S = 4πr2

\(\frac{dS}{dt}=8πr \times\frac{dr}{dt}=k(constant)\)

4πr2 = kt + C (C is constant of integration)

For t = 0, r = 3 ⇒ 36π = C

For t = 5, r = 7 ⇒ K = 32π

4πr2 = 32πt + 36π

r2 = 8t + 9

for t = 9

r2 = 81

r = 9

Explain several key points related to important aspects of customer service.

Answer»

1. Know your product: The executive must know what products/service you are offering. In other words, be an information expert. It is okay to say ‘I don't know’, but it should always be followed up by "but let me find out" or possibly "but my friend knows!" Whatever the situation may be, make sure that you don't leave your customer with an unanswered question. 

2. Body Language/Communication: Most of the communication is done through executive’s body language. If he/she has a negative body language when he/she interact with others it can show his/her lack of care. Two of the most important aspects of positive body language are smile and eye contact. Make sure to look in the eyes of customers. It shows that he/she is listening to them. And then of course, smiling makes the conversion more positive. 

3. Anticipate Guest Needs: Nothing surprises a customer more than an employee going the extra mile to help them. Always look for ways to serve any customer in more ways than they expect. In doing so it helps them to know that the executive care and it will leave them with the "Feel Good Factor" that they were searching for.
