If cos A = (5)/(13) and A " is not in first quardrant, then find the value of " (sinA-cosA)/(tanA+1).

Answer»

Solution :GIVEN that `cosA=(5)/(13)and A " is not in first quardrant" `
`RARR A " is in fourth quardrant"`.
`SIN A =(-12)/(13)and tanA=(-12)/(13)`
Now, `(sinA-cosA)/(tanA+1)=((-12)/(5)-(5)/(13))/((-12)/(5)+1)=(-17)/(13)xx(-5)/(7)=(85)/(91)`.

Find the common zeroes of the polynomialsx^(3)+x^(2)-2x-2 and x^(3)-x^(2)-2x+2.

Answer»


Solution :For the common zeroes, first we FIND the H.C.F. of GIVEN polynomials by Euclid's DIVISION method (long division method)
Polynomials

Hence, the H.C.F. of the given polynomials is `(x^(2)-2)`. Thus, the common zeroes of the given ploynomials are the zeroes of `x^(2)-2` i.e.., zeroes of `(x+sqrt(2))(x-sqrt(2))`.
So, common zeroes are `sqrt(2)` and `-sqrt(2) ""` Ans.

Answer»


Solution :BC be the tower and CD be thewater tank.
A be the towerpoint of observation. Then, `angleBAC = 30^(@), ANGLEBAD = 45^(@)`and `AB = 40 m`.
From right `DeltaABD `, we have
`(BD)/(AB) = tan 45^(@) = 1 RARR (BD)/(40 m) = 1 rArr BD = 40 m`.
From right `DeltaABC`,we have
`(BC)/(AB) = tan 30^(@) = 1/(sqrt(3)) rArr (BC)/(40 m)=1/(sqrt(3))`.
`rArr BC = (40 m)/(sqrt(3)) rArr BC = (40 m)/(sqrt(3)) xx (sqrt(3))/(sqrt(3))= (40sqrt(3))/(3) m`.
(i) HEIGHT of the tower `= BC = (40sqrt(3))/(3) m = 23.1 m`
(ii) Deapth of tank`= CD = (BD - BC) = (40-23.1) m = 16.9 m`.
