Let P_(1): x+y+z=0 P_(2)x+2y+3y=0 P_(3): x+3y+5z=0 be three planes L_(1) is theline of intersection of P_(1) & P_(2) LetP(2,1-1) be point on P_(3) If (alpha,beta,lambda) is image of point P in line L_(1) then value of|alpha + beta+ lambda| is

Answer»


Solution :Direction RATIO of line `L_(1)` is `|(HAT(i),hat(j),hat(k)),(1,1,1),(1,2,3)|`
therefore Line `L_(1):(X)/(1)=(y)/(-2)=(z)/(1)`

`(LAMBDA-2)-2(-2lambda-1)+(lambda+1)1=0`
`6lambda=-1implies lambda=(-1)/(6)`
`(alpha+2)/(2)=lambda,(beta+1)/(2)=-2lambda,(lambda-1)/(2)=lambda`
`implies alpha+beta+lambda=-2-1+1+2lambda-41+2lambda=-2`

For any vector vecr = xhati+yhatj+zhatk, prove that vecr = (vecr.hati)hati+(vecr.hatj)hatj+(vecr.hatk)hatk.

Answer»

Solution :Clearly `VECR.i` = X, `vecr.j` = y and `vecr.K` = Z
therefore `vecr` = xi+yj+zk
= (vecr.i)i+(vecr.j)j+(vecr.k)k.

Answer»

`2((4)/(25))^((1)/(3))`
`4((2)/(5))^((1)/(3))`
`4((4)/(25))^((1)/(3))`
`2((2)/(5))^((1)/(3))`

Solution :GIVEN, `S(alpha)={(x,y):y^(2) LE x, 0 le x le alpha} and A(alpha)` is area of theregion `S(alpha)`

Clearly, `A(lambda)=2int_(0)^(lambda)sqrt(x)dx=2[(x^(3//2))/(3//2)]_(0)^(lambda)=(4)/(3)lambda^(3//2)`
Since, `(A(lambda))/(A(4))=(2)/(5),(0 lt lambda lt 4)`
`RARR (lambda^(3//2))/(4^(3//2))=(2)/(5) rArr ((lambda)/(4))^(3)=((2)/(5))^(2)`
`rArr (lambda)/(4)=((4)/(25))^(1//3) rArr lambda=4((4)/(25))^(1//3)`

Solution :`(a)` As `u+V+w=n` and `u,v,w ge 1`
Now, number of solutions of `u+v+w=nimpliesP_(n)=^(n-1)C_(n-3)`
Similarly `P_(n+1)=^(n)C_(n-2)`, `P_(n+2)=^(n+1)C_(n-1)`, `P_(n+3)=^(n+2)C_(n)`, `P_(n+4)=^(n+3)C_(n+1)`.
Now `Delta=|{:(.^(n-1)C_(n-3),.^(n)C_(n-2),.^(n+1)C_(n-1)),(.^(n)C_(n-2),.^(n+1)C_(n-1),.^(n+2)C_(n)),(.^(n+1)C_(n-1),.^(n+2)C_(n),.^(n+3)C_(n+1)):}|`

`Delta=(1)/(2)|{:(1,n(n-1),n),(1,n(n+1),(n+1)),(1,(n+2)(n+1),(n+2)):}|`
(On applying (first) `C_(3) to C_(3)-C_(2)` and `C_(1)toC_(1)-C_(2)` (and then) `C_(1)toC_(1)+C_(3)`)
`=(1)/(2)|{:(1,n(n-1),n),(0,2n,1),(0,2(n+1),1):}|(R_(3)toR_(3)-R_(2) and R_(2)toR_(2)-R_(1))impliesDelta=-1`
