2048883 cube root

Answer» THE CUBE ROOT OF 2048883 IS 127.0103
26.

\( x \) and \( y \) are Natural no's when \( x y-4=2 x+y \). Find pairs of \( (x, y) \).

Answer»

\(xy - 4 = 2x + y\)

⇒ \(y = \frac{4+2x}{x - 1}\)

\(= \frac{2(x + 2)}{x -1}\)

\(=2\left(1 + \frac3{x - 1}\right)\)

\( = 2 + \frac6{x -1}\)

Hence, if x = 2, 3, 4 & 7 then y becomes natural numbers.

Hence, (x, y) pairs are (2, 8), (3, 5), (4, 4), (7, 3).

What is a Rational Number?

Answer»

A rational number, in Mathematics, can be defined as any number which can be represented in the form of p/q where q ≠ 0. Also, we can say that any fraction fits under the category of rational numbers, where the denominator and numerator are integers and the denominator is not equal to zero. When the rational number (i.e., fraction) is divided, the result will be in decimal form, which may be either terminating decimal or the repeating decimal.

32.

Find the angle between Tangents \( T_{1}=2 i+2 j-3 k \) and \( T_{2}=-2 i+2 j-3 k \)

Answer»

\(\vec T_1 = 2\hat i + 2\hat j - 3\hat k\)

\(\vec T_2 = -2\hat i + 2\hat j - 3\hat k\) 

\(|\vec T_1|=\sqrt{2^2+2^2+(-3)^2}\) = \(\sqrt{4+4+9}=\sqrt{17}\)

\(|\vec T_2|=\sqrt{-2^2+2^2+(-3)^2}\) = \(\sqrt{4+4+9}=\sqrt{17}\)

Let angle between T1 and T2 is θ.

\(\therefore\) θ = \(\frac{\vec T_1.\vec T_2}{|\vec T_1||\vec T_2|}\) = \(\frac{(2\hat i+2\hat j-3\hat k).(-2\hat i+2\hat j-3\hat k)}{\sqrt{17}{\sqrt{17}}}\)

Answer»

The correct option is (A)

 \(\vec T_1 = 2\hat i + 2\hat j - 3\hat k\)

\(\vec T_2 = -2\hat i + 2\hat j - 3\hat k\)

\(|\vec T_1|=\sqrt{2^2+2^2+(-3)^2}\) = \(\sqrt{4+4+9}=\sqrt{17}\)

\(|\vec T_2|=\sqrt{-2^2+2^2+(-3)^2}\) = \(\sqrt{4+4+9}=\sqrt{17}\)

Let angle between T1 and T2 is θ.

\(\therefore\) θ = \(\frac{\vec T_1.\vec T_2}{|\vec T_1||\vec T_2|}\) = \(\frac{(2\hat i+2\hat j-3\hat k).(-2\hat i+2\hat j-3\hat k)}{\sqrt{17}{\sqrt{17}}}\)

\(=\theta = cos^{-1}\frac1{17}\)

Hence, angle between both tangents is cos-1\(\frac9{17}\).

Find out the square root of 3969?1. 532. 633. 434. 83

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 2 : 63

Given:

The given number = 3969

Concept:

Calculation skills trick

Calculation:

Step(1):

The unit digit in this number is 9, which can be a unit digit of its square root number such as 3 or 7. Because 3 x 3 is 9 and 7 x 7 is 49.

Step(2):

Now let us consider the first two digits that is 39 which comes between the squares of 6 and 7 because 36 < 39 < 49

Step(3):

We can assume that the ten’s digit of the square root of 3969 is the lowest among the two numbers i.e. 6

Step(4):

Now, we need to find among 63 and 67 which is the square root of 3969.

Step(5):

Since the ten’s digit is 6 and the next number is 7, we need to multiply both the numbers like 6 x 7 = 42 and since 42 is greater than 39.

Step(6):

Square root of 3969 will be the smaller number among 63 and 67 i.e. 63.

∴  √3969 = 63

⇒ 16 + A

As the number is divisible by 9, so 16 + A is also divisible by 9

Multiple of 9 nearest to 16 is 18

⇒ 16 + A = 18

⇒ A = 18 – 16

⇒ A = 2

The value of A is 2.

Find out the square root of 6724?1. 882. 623. 824. 725. 81

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 3 : 82

The given number = 6724

Concept:

Calculation skills trick

Calculation:

Step(1):

The unit digit in this number is 4, which can be a unit digit of its square root number such as 2 or 4. Because 2 x 2 is 4 and 8 x 8 is 64.

Step(2):

Now let us consider the first two digits that is 67 which comes between the squares of 8 and 9 because 64 < 67 < 81

Step(3):

We can assume that the ten’s digit of the square root of 6724 is the lowest among the two numbers i.e. 8

Step(4):

Now, we need to find among 82 and 84 which is the square root of 6724.

Step(5):

Since the ten’s digit is 8 and the next number is 9, we need to multiply both the numbers like 8 x 9 = 72 and since 72 is greater than 67.

Step(6):

Square root of 6724 will be the smaller number among 82 and 88 i.e. 82.

∴  √6724 = 82
