If veca, vecb and vecc are the position vectors of the vertices A,B and C. respectively , of triangleABC. Prove that the perpendicualar distance of the vertex A from the base BC of the triangle ABC is (|vecaxxvecb+vecbxxvecc+veccxxveca|)/(|vecc-vecb|)

Answer»

SOLUTION :`|VEC(BC)xxvec(BA)|=|vecaxxvecb+vecb+vecbxxvecc+veccxxveca|`
`|vec(BC)||vec(BA)|sin B=|vecaxxvecbxxvecbxxvecc+veccxxveca|`
`|vecc-vecb| (ABsinB)=|vecaxxvecb+vecbxxvecc+veccxxveca|`
Therefore, the length of PERPENDICUALR from A on BC is
`AL=ABsinB=(|vecaxxvecb+vecbxxvecc+veccxxveca|)/(|vecb-vecc|)`

Using binomial theorem, prove that 8^(n)-7n always leaves remainder 1 when divided by 49.

Answer»

Solution :For any TWO numbers a and b if we can FIND the numbers q and r such that `a=bq+r`, then we SAY that b divides a with q as QUOTIENT and r as remaindder. Thus, in order to show that `8^(n)-7n` leaves remainer 1 when divided by 49, we prove that `8^(n)-7n=49k+1`, where k is some natural NUMBER.
Now,
`8^(n)-7` can be written as `(1+7)^(n)-7n`
Now, we can write
`(1+7)^(n)+{1+^(n)C_(1)7^(1)+.^(n)C_(2)7^(2)+.^(n)C_(3)7^(3)+ . . .+.^(n)C_(n)7^(n)}-7n`
`={1+7n+7^(2).^(n)C_(2)+7^(3).^(n)C_(3)+. . . .+7^(n)}-7n`
`=1+7^(2)({.^(n)C_(2)+7.^(n)C_(3)+ . . .+7^(n-2)}`
`=1+49{.^(n)C_(2)+7.^(n)C_(3)+ . . .+7^(n-2)}`
`therefore8^(n)-7n=49k+1,` where `K=.^(n)C_(2)+7.^(n)C_(3)+ . . .+7^(n-2)`
this shows that when `8^(n)-7n` is divided by 49 always leaves remainder as 1.

If (9+4sqrt(5))^(n)=p+beta, where n and p are positive integers and beta is a positive proper fraction, prrove that (1-beta)(p+beta)=1 and p is an odd integer.

Answer»

<P>

Solution :We have,
`(9+4sqrt(5))^(n)=p+beta,p` is a +ve integer, `oltbetalt1`
LET `(9-4sqrt(5))^(n)lt1`
ALSO `(9-4sqrt(4))^(n)gt0`
`therefore0ltflt1`
now, `p+beta+f=(9+4sqrt(5))^(n)+(9-4sqrt(5))^(n)=2[.^(n)C_(0)9^(n)+.^(n)C_(2)9^(n-2)80+.^(n)C_(4)9^(n-4)(80)^(2)+ . . . .]`
`impliesp+beta+f`=even integer
`impliesbeta+f=`even integer -p=even integer-integer=an integer.
since `0 lt beta lt 1 and 0 lt f lt 1`
`implies 0 lt beta+ f lt 2, ` but `beta+f=` an integer
`impliesbeta+f=1impliesf=1-beta`
Now `p+beta+f=`ven integer
`impliesp`=even integer-1= odd integer annd `(p+beta)f=(9+4sqrt(5))^(n)(9-4sqrt(5))^(n)`
`=(81-80)^(n)=1`
`implies(p+beta)(1-beta)=1`.

Answer»

(0,1)
`(-oo,1)`
(-1,1)
`(1,oo)`

SOLUTION :`F(x)=x+cosx-a or f(X)=1 -sinx ge 0 forall x in R`
Thus f(X) is increasing in `(-oo,oo)` as for f(x) =0 x is not FORMING an interval also
f(X) =-COS x =0
or `x =(2n+1)(pi)/(2),nin Z`
Hence there are INFINITE points of inflection
Now f(x) =1-a
For positive root `1-alt0 or agt1` for negative root `1-agt 0 or a lt1`

Identical dielectric ...................

Answer»


Solution :When SLAB is removed capacitance of B decreases due to which overall capacitance and part of the charge in steady state flows into the BATTERY and work is done on the battery. As capacitors A and B are in SERIES thus charge on both capacitors are always equal. In the process of removal of slab external agent will do some work but it will not APPEAR as heat as in slow removal or insertion of dielectric slab no heat is PRODUCED. Thus option (D) is correct.

If ax^(2)+bx+c =0 where ane0 is satisfied by alpha,beta,alpha^(2)andbeta^(2) where alphabetane0. Let set S be the set of all possible unordered pairs (alpha,beta). Then match the following lists:

Answer»

`{:(,a,B,c,d),((1),q,s,s,r):}`
`{:(,a,b,c,d),((2),r,s,q,p):}`
`{:(,a,b,c,d),((3),q,s,r,p):}`
`{:(,a,b,c,d),((4),r,s,p,q):}`

Solution :EQUATION is satisfied by `alpha,beta,alpha^(2)andbeta^(2)`. So, we have following POSSIBILITIES:
(1) Let `alpha^(2)=alphaandbeta^(2)=beta`.
`IMPLIES(alpha,beta)-=(1,1)`
(ii) `alpha^(2)=betaandbeta^(2)=alpha`
`impliesalpha^(4)=alpha`
`impliesalpha(alpha^(3)-1)=0`
`impliesalpha=0,1,(-1pmsqrt3i)/(2)`
`implies(alpha,beta)-=((-1-sqrt3i)/(2),(-1+sqrt3i)/(2))`
(iii) `alpha^(2)betaandbeta^(2)=beta(oralpha^(2)=alphaandbeta^(2)=alpha)`
`impliesalpha^(2)=beta^(2)impliesalpha=pmbeta`
`implies(alpha,beta)=(-1,1),(1,1)` Thus, possible unordered pairs `(alpha,beta)` such that that`alphabetane0` is
`(1,1),(-1,1)or((-1-sqrt3i)/(2),(-1+sqrt3i)/(2))`.
