In the usual notation the value of DeltaV is equal to

Answer»

`DELTA-NABLA`
`Delta+nabla`
`Delta-nabla`
None of these

Solution : `"Now, Delta nablaf(x)=Delta[F(x)-f(x-h)]`
`=Deltaf(x)-Deltaf(x-h)`
`=Deltaf(x)-[f(x)-f(x-h)]`
`=Deltaf(x)-nablaf(x)`
`therefore Delta nabla=Delta -nabla`

Consider point P(x, y) in first quadrant. Its reflection about x-axis is Q(x_(1), y_(1)). So, x_(1)=x and y(1)=-y. This may be written as : {(x_(1)=1. x+0.y),(y_(1)=0. x+(-1)y):} This system of equations can be put in the matrix as : [(x_(1)),(y_(1))]=[(1,0),(0,-1)][(x),(y)] Here, matrix [(1,0),(0,-1)] is the matrix of reflection about x-axis. Then find the matrix of (i) reflection about y-axis (ii) reflection about the line y=x (iii) reflection about origin (iv) reflection about line y=(tan theta)x

Answer»

Solution :(i) Reflection of (X, y) about y-axis is `(x_(1), y_(1)) equiv (-x, y)`.
`:. x_(1)=(-1)x+0y`
and `y_(1)=0x+y`
`:. [(x_(1)),(y_(1))]=[(-1,0),(0,1)][(x),(y)]`
(ii) Reflection of (x, y) about the line `y=x` is `(x_(1), y_(1)) equiv (y, x)`.
`:. x_(1)=0x+y`
`y_(1)=x+0y`
`:. [(x_(1)),(y_(1))]=[(0,1),(1,0)][(x),(y)]`
(III) Reflection of (x, y) about origin is `(x_(1), y_(1)) equiv (-x, -y)`.
`:. x_(1)=-x+0y`
`y_(1)=0x-y`
`:. [(x_(1)),(y_(1))]=[(-1,0),(0,-1)][(x),(y)]`
(iv) Reflecton in line `t=x tan theta` or `(SIN theta)x-(cos theta)y=0`:

We kanow that
`(x_(1)-x)/(sin theta)=(y_(1)-y)/(- cos theta)=(-2((sin theta)x-(cos theta)y))/(sin^(2) theta+cos^(2) theta)`
`:. x_(1)=(1-2 sin^(2) theta)x+(2 sin theta cos theta)y`
or `x_(1)=(cos 2 theta)x+(sin 2 theta) y`
`y_(1)=(2 sin theta cos theta)x+ (1-2 cos^(2) theta)y`
or `y_(1)=(sin 2 theta)x-(cos 2 theta)y`
Thus, `[(x_(1)),(y_(1))]=[(cos 2 theta,sin 2 theta),(sin 2 theta,- cos 2 theta)][(x),(y)]`
By putting `theta=0, pi//2, pi//4`, we can GET the reflection matrices x-axis, y-axis and the line y=x, respectively.

Answer»

`PI`
`-oo,-3cup(3,(29)/(7))`
`-oo,(58)/(14)`
none of these

Solution :`f(x)=x^(3)-3(7-a)x^(2)-3(9-a^(2))x+2`
f(X)=`3x^(2)-6(7-a)x-3(9-a^(2))`
for real root `Dge0`
or `49+a^(2)-14a+9-a^(2)ge0 or ale58/14`
when point of minma is negativepoint of maxima is also negative
Hence equation f(x) =`3xA^(2)-6(7-a)x-3(9-a^(2))` =0 has both roots negative
sum or roots =`2(7-a)lta or a gt 7 ` which is not possible as FORM (1) `ale58/14`
When POINTOF maxima is positive point of minima is also positive ltrbgt Hence equation `f(x) =3x^(2)-6(7-a)x-3(9-a^(2))=0` has both roots positive
sum roots =`2(7-a)GT0 or alt7`
Also product of roots is positive or `-(9-a^(2))gt0 or a^(32)gt9 or a in (-oo,-3)CUP(3,oo)`
From (1),(2) and (3) ain `(-oo,-3)cup(3,58//14)`
For points of extrema of opposite sign equation (1) has roots of opposite sign
Thus a in (-3,3).

Statement-1 is true, statement-2 is true, statement-2 is a correct explanation for statement-1
Statement-1 is true, statement-2 is true, statement-2 is not a correct explanation for statement-1
Statement-1 is true, statement-2 is false
Statement-1 is false, statement-2 is true

Solution :`becauseD_(n)=n!UNDERSET(R=0)OVERSET(n)(sum)((-1)^(r))/(r!)=n!(1-(1)/(1!)+(1)/(2!)-(1)/(3!)+ . . .+((-1)^(n))/(n!))`
`thereforeD_(5)=5!(1-(1)/(1!)+(1)/(2!)-(1)/(3!)+(1)/(4!)-(1)/(5!))`
`=120((1)/(2)-(1)/(6)+(1)/(24)-(1)/(120))`
`=6-20+5-1`
