{{:(-13=ay+24x),(9+6bx=5y):} If the system of equations above has no solutions, and a and b are constants, then what is the value of |a+b| ?

Answer»

9

Solution :REARRANGE the equations and write them on TOP of each other so that the x and y variables line up:
`{{:(24 x + ay =-13),(6bx-5y=-9):}`
In a system of equations that has no solution, the x-coefficients must equal each other and the y-coefficients must equal each other. Thus, for the x - coefficients, `24=6b,` which means that `b =4.` for the y-coefficients, `a =-5.` The question asks for the value of `|a+b|, ` which is `|-5+4|=|-1|=1,` CHOICE (B). (Note that if you USED the EQUATION `-bx+5y=9,` you would get `a =5and b =-4,` which still result in the correct answer.)

Solution :We have, `f(x) = {{:(|x|SIN'(1)/(x-a),if x ne 0),(0, if x =a):}` at `x = a`
At `LHL=UNDERSET(xrarra^(-))(lim)|x-a|sin'(1)/(x-a)`
`=underset(hrarr0)(lim) |a-h-a| sin((h)/(a-h-a))`
`= underset(hrarr0)(lim)-hsin(1/h) , [:' sin(-THETA)=-SINTHETA]`
`=0 xx` [an oscillatingnumber between `-1` and 1] = 0
`RHL = underset (xrarra^(+))(lim)|x-a|sin((1)/(x-a))`
`=underset(hrarr0)lim|a+h-a|sin((1)/(a+h-a))=underset(hrarr0)limh sin '1/h`
`= 0xx` [ an oscillatingnumber between` -1` and 1] = 0
and `f(a) = 0`
`:. LHL = RHL = f(a)`
So, `f(x)` is continousat `x = a`.

A weak acid HA (50.0ml) was titrated against 0.1 M NaOH. The pH values when 20 ml & 40 ml base have been added are found to be 4.898 & 5.324 respectively. Calculate the pH of the solution at equivalence point. (Given : log8//3=0.426,log2=0.301,log15=1.176) Mark your answer in single digit to the nearest integral digit, say your answer is 7.213 then mark 0007 or if your answer is 12.567 then mark as 0013.

Answer»


Solution :`4.898=pk_(a)+"log"(2)/(a-2)`
`5.324=pk_(a)+"log"(4)/(a-4)`
`0.426=log[((4)/(a-4))xx((a-2)/(2))]`
`2.66686=(2(a-2))/((a-4))`
`(8)/(3)=(2(a-2))/(a-4)`
`4(a-4)=3(a-2)`
`a=10`
`4.898=pk_(a)+"log"(2)/(8)`
`pk_(a)=505`
`pH=7+(1)/(2)(5.5+"log"(10)/(150))`

Let rbe a real number andn in N be such that the polynomial 2x^(2)+ 2x + 1dividesthe polynomial (x + 1)^(n) - r. Then (n,r)can be-(A)(4000, 4^(1000)) (B)(4000, 1/4^(1000)) (C)(4^(1000),1/4^1000) (D)(4000,1/4000)

Answer»

`(4000, 4^(1000))`
`(4000, (1)/(4^(1000)))`
`(4^(1000),(1)/(4^(1000)))`
`(4000, (1)/(4000))`

Solution :`2X^(2) + 2x + 1 = 0`
`X = (-1+i)/(2), (-1-i)/(2)`
x satisfies `(x + 1)^(N) - r = 0`
`((-1+-i)/(2) + 1)^(n) - r = 0`
`((1+-i)/(2))^(n) -r = 0`
`((1)/(sqrt(2)))^(n) ((1+i)/(sqrt(2)))^(n) = r`
`((1)/(sqrt(2)))^(n)(e^(+-( IPI)/(4)))^(n)= r`
RHS= real
LHS = realonly when n = multiply of 4
`n = 4000`
`r = ((1)/(sqrt(2)))^(4000) = 1/(4^(1000))`

Answer»

`x=(4)/(7),y=(6)/(7)`
`x=(10)/(7),y=(4)/(7)`
`x=(8)/(7),y=(2)/(7)`
`x=2, y=3`

SOLUTION :We have, 2u - V = w
`implies 2(xa+2yb)-(-2ya+3xb)=4a-2b`
`implies (2x+2y-4)a+(-3x+4y+2)b=0`
`implies 2x+2y-4=0 and -3x+4y+2=0`[`because` a, b are non-collinear]

Let Z in C with Im (z) = 10 and it satisfies =(2z-n)/(2z+n)=2i-1 For some natural number n. then

Answer»

n=20 and Re (z) =-10
n=40 and Re (z) =10
n=40 and Re(z)
n=20 and Re (z)=10

Solution :Let z=x+10 I, as Im(z) = 10 ( given )
Since z satisfies
`(2z-n)/(2z +n)=2i -1 , n ne N`
`therefore (2x+20 i-n)=(2i -1)(2x+20 I +n)`
`RARR (2x-n)+20 i=(-2 -n- 40 )+(4x+2N- 20)i`
On comparing real imaginary parts ,we get
`2x-n= -2 x-n 40 and 20 = 4x+2n-20`
`rArr4x = -40 and 20 = 4x 2n = 40 `
`rArr x=-10 and - 40 +2n = 40 rArr n = 40`
So , n = 40 and x= Re (z) = -10
