Let a=hat(i)+hat(j)+hat(k), b=hat(i)-hat(j)+hat(k) and c=hat(i)-hat(j)-hat(k) be three vectors. A vector v in the plane of a and b whose projection on c is 1/sqrt(3), is given by

Answer»

`3 hat(i)+hat(J)-3hat(K)`
`3hat(i)-hat(j)+3hat(k)`
`3hat(i)+hat(j)+3hat(k)`
`-3hat(i)+hat(j)+3hat(k)`

Solution :Here, `(v.C)/(|c|) = 1/(sqrt(3))`
`rArr (v.c)/(sqrt(1+1+1)) = 1/(sqrt(3))`
`rArr (v.c)/(sqrt(3)) = 1/(sqrt(3)) rArr v.c = 1`
`rArr v.(hati-hatj -hatk) = 1 "….."(i)`
we get from option (b) `v=3 hati-hatj+3hatk`
` v.c (3HATI -hatj+3hatk)`
`=3+1-3=1`
which satisfies Eq. 9i)
`v=3hati-hatj+3hatk`

Let f(x) and phi(x) are two continuous function on R satisfying phi(x)=int_(a)^(x)f(t)dt, a!=0 and another continuous function g(x) satisfying g(x+alpha)+g(x)=0AA x epsilonR, alpha gt0, and int_(b)^(2k)g(t)dt is independent of b If m,n are even integers and p,q epsilon R, then int_(p+n alpha)^(q+n alpha)g(t)dt is equal to

Answer»

<P>`int_(p)^(q)g(X)dx`
`(n-m)int_(0)^(ALPHA)g(x)dx`
`int_(p)^(alpha)g(x)dx+(n-m)int_(0)^(alpha)g(2X)dx`
`int_(p)^(q)g(x)dx+((n-m))/2int_(0)^(2ALPHA)g(x)dx`

Solution :`int_(p+m alpha)^(q+n alpha) g(t)dt=int_(p+m alpha)^(p)g(x)dx+int_(p)^(q)g(x)dx+int_(q)^(q+n alpha) g(x)dx`
`=-m/2 int_(0)^(2 alpha) g(x)dx+int_(p)^(q)g(x)dx+n/2 int_(0)^(2alpha) g(x)dx`
`=int_(p)^(q)g(x)dx+((n-m)/2)int_(0)^(2alpha) g(x)dx`
