If the quadratic equation a_(1)x^(2)-a-(2)x+a_(3)=0 where a_(1),a_(2),a_(3) in N has two distinct real roots belonging to the interval (1,2) then least value of a_(1) is_______

Answer»


Solution :`alpha+beta=(a_(2))/(a_(1)), alpha beta=(a_(3))/(a_(1)), alpha, beta epsilon (1,2)`
`implies alpha-1, beta-1, 2-alpha, 2-beta epsilon (0,1)`
A.M. `ge` G.M. `implies((alpha-1)+(2-alpha))/2 ge sqrt((alpha-1)(2-alpha))`
`implies(alpha-1)(2-alpha) le 1/4` SIMILARLY `(beta-1)(2-beta) le 1/4`
`0 lt (alpha-1)(2-alpha)(beta-1)(2-beta) lt 1/16` (Both can't equal to `1/4` simultaneously `(alpha !=beta)`
`0 lt ((a_(3))/(a_(1))-(a_(2))/(a_(1))+1)(4-(2a_(2))/(a_(1))+(a_(3))/(a_(1))) lt 1/16`
`0 lt ((a_(1)-a_(2)+a_(3))(4a_(1)-2a_(2)+a_(3)))/(a_(1)^(2)) lt 1/16`
`(a_(1)^(2))/16 gt (a_(1)-a_(2)+a_(3)(4a_(1)-2a_(2)+a_(3))`
`(a_(1)^(2))/16 gt f(1).f(2)implies(a^(2))/16 gt 1`
`implies` Least integral alue of `a` is 5

A circle passing through the vertex C ofa rectangle ABCD and touching its sides AB and AD at M and N, respectively. If the distance from C to the line segment MN is equal to 5 units, then find the area of the reactangle ABCD.

Answer»

<P>

Solution :Let us take AB and AD as coordinate axes.

If r is the radius of CIRCLE , then equation of circle touching both the axes is
`(x-r)^(2)+(y-r)^(2)=r^(2)`
or `x^(2)+y^(2)-2rx-2ry+r^(2)=0`
Let point C be (p,q)
Equation of line MN is `x+y-r=0`
DISTANCE of MN from C is 5 units.
`:. (|p+q-r|)/(sqrt(2))=5`
`implies (p+q-r)^(2)=50`
Since (p,q) lies on the circle , we have
`p^(2)+q^(2)-2rp-2rq+r^(2)=0`
`implies (p+q-r)^(2)-2pq=0`
`implies 50-2pq=0`
`implies pq=25`
Therefore, area of rectangle `25sq.` units.

Equation of the circles |z-1-i|=1 & |z-1+i|=1 touches internally a circle of radius 2. The equation of the circle touching all the circles can be

Answer»

`3zbarz+z+barz-1=0`
`3zbarz-7(z+barz)+15=0`
`zbarz-z-barz-3=0`
`3zbarz+(z+barz)+1=0`

Solution :GIVEN circle touches externally at real AXIS So, the centre `C` of the DESCRIBED circles lies on real axis which has radius `R` then `"CC"_(1)="CC"_(2)=1+r`
`C_(1)C_(3)=C_(2)C_(3)=1`
`"CC"_(3)=2-r`
`:.(1+r)^(2)=1^(2)+(2-r)^(2)`
`impliesr=2//3`
`:.` Centre of described circle is
`-1+2/3=(-1)/3` or `3-2/3=7/3`

`:.` Required equation of circle are
`|z+1/3|=2/3` & `|z-7/3|=2/3`

A sample space consists of 9 elementary outcomes outcomes E_(1), E_(2),…, E_(9) whose probabilities are:P(E_(1))=P(E_(2)) = 0.09, P(E_(3))=P(E_(4))=P(E_(5))=0.1P(E_(6)) = P(E_(7)) = 0.2, P(E_(8)) = P(E_(9)) = 0.06 If A = {E_(1), E_(5), E_(8)}, B= {E_(2), E_(5), E_(8), E_(9)} then (a) Calculate P(A), P(B), and P(A nnB).(b) Using the addition law of probability, calculate P(A uu B).(c ) List the composition of the event A uu B, and calculate P(A uu B) by adding the probabilities of the elementary outcomes. (d) Calculate P(barB) from P(B), also calculateP(barB) directly from the elementarty outcomes of B.

Answer»

<P>

Solution :(a) `P(A) = P(E_(1)) + P(E_(5)) + P(E_(8))`
`=0.09 + 0.1 + 0.06 = 0.25`
(b)`P(B) = P(E_(2)) + P(E_(5)) + P(E_(8)) = P(E_(9))`
`= 0.09 + 0.1 + 0.06 + 0.06 = 0.31`
`P(A UU B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A NN B)`
Now, `A nn B = {E_(5), E_(8)}`
`therefore P(A nn B) = P(E_(5)) + P(E_(8)) = 0.1 + 0.06= 0.16`
`therefore P(A uu B) = 0.25+ 0.31 - 0.16 = 0.40`
(c )`A uu B = {E_(1), E_(2), E_(5), E_(8), E_(9)}`
`P(A uu B) = P(E_(1)) + P(E_(2)) + P(E_(5)) + P(E_(8)) + P(E_(9))`
`=0.09 + 0.09 + 0.1 +0.06 + 0.06 = 0.40`
(d) `because P(bar(B)) = 1- P(B) = 1 - 0.31 = 0.69`
and `bar(B) = {E_(1), E_(3), E_(4), E_(6), E_(7)}`
`therefore P(bar(B)) = P(E_(1)) + P(E_(3)) + P(E_(4)) + P(E_(6)) + P(E_(7))`
= 0.09 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.2 + 0.2 = 0.69
