sqrt(1+sinA)=-("sin"(A)/(2)+"cos"(A)/(2))is true if

Answer»

`(3PI)/(2)ltAlt(5pi)/(2)`only
`(pi)/(2)ltAlt(3pi)/(2)` only
`(3pi)/(2)ltAlt(7pi)/(2)`
`0ltAlt(3pi)/(2)`

Solution :`SQRT(1+sinA)=-("sin"(A)/(2)+"cos"(A)/(2))`
We know ,`1+sinA=("cos"(A)/(2)+"sin"(A)/(2))^(2)`
`thereforesqrt(1+sinA)=|"cos"(A)/(2)+"sin"(A)/(2)|`
We KOW . `|X|={{:(x ifxge0,),(-x iflt0,):}`
`|"sin"(A)/(2)+"cos"(A)/(2)={{:("sin"(A)/(2)+"cos"(A)/(2)",",if2npi-(pi)/(4)le2npi+(3pi)/(4)),(-("sin"(A)/(2)+"cos"(A)/(2))",",if"otherwise"):}`
`thereforesqrt(1+sinA)=-("sin"(A)/(2)+"cos"(A)/(2))` when

If A=[{:(,1,3,3),(,1,4,3),(,1,3,4):}] then verify that A adj A=|A| I. Also find A^(-1)

Answer»

Solution :`"we have" |A|=1(16-9)-3(4-3)+3(3-4)=1ne0`
`"Now" C_(11)=7, C_(12)=-1, C_(13),C_(21)=-3, C_(22)=1, C_(23)=0, C_(31)=-3, C_(32)=0,C_(23)=1`
Therefore ADJ A=`[{:(,7,-3,-3),(,-1,1,0),(,-1,0,1):}]`
Now, A(adj A)=`[{:(,1,3,3),(,1,4,3),(,1,3,4):}]` `[{:(,7,-3,-3),(,-1,1,0),(,-1,0,1):}]`=`[{:(,7-3-3,-3+3+0,-3+0+3),(,7-4-3,--3+4+0,-3+0+3),(,7-3-4,-3+3+0,-3+0+4):}]`
`[{:(,1,0,0),(,0,1,0),(,0,0,1):}]=(1) [{:(,1,0,0),(,0,1,0),(,0,0,1):}]=|A|I`
Also `A^(-1)=(1)/(|A|)=(1)/(1)[{:(,7,-3,-3),(,-1,1,0),(,-1,0,1):}]=[{:(,7,-3,-3),(,-1,1,0),(,-1,0,1):}]`

Solution :`f(x)=4X^(2)-4ax+a^(2)-2a+2`
vertex of this parabola is `((a)/(2),2-2a)`
caseI:`0lta//2lt2`
In this case f(x) will attain the MINIUM value at `x=a/2` .Thus `f(a/2)^(3)`

or `3=-2a+2 or a =-1/2 (rejected)`
CaseII: `(a)/(2)ge2`
In this f(x) attains global minimum value at x =2 thus f(2)=3
`3=16-8a+a^(2)-2a+2 or a =5pm sqrt(10)`
thus `a=5+sqrt(10)`
CaseIII:` (a)/(2)ge0`
In this case f(x) attains the global minimum value at x =0 thus f(0)=3
`therefore3=a^(2)-2a+2 or a =1 pm`
Thus a =1-`sqrt(2)`
Hecne the PERMISSIBEL values of a are `1-sqrt(2) and 2+sqrt(10)`
f(x) =`4x^(2)-49x+a^(2)-2a+2`is monotonic in [0,2]
Hence the point of minima of FUNCITON should not LIE in [0,2]
Now f(x) =0 or 8x-4a=0 or x `=a//2`
`(a)/(2)in [0,2] or a in [0,4]`
For f(x) to be monotomic [0,2], and[0,4] i/e`ale0` or age4

Solution :`F(x)=4x^(2)-4ax+a^(2)-2a+2`
vertex of this parabola is `((a)/(2),2-2a)`
caseI:`0lta//2lt2`
In this case f(x) will attain the minium value at `x=a/2` .THUS `f(a/2)^(3)`

or `3=-2a+2 or a =-1/2 (rejected)`
CaseII: `(a)/(2)ge2`
In this f(x) ATTAINS global minimum value at x =2 thus f(2)=3
`3=16-8a+a^(2)-2a+2 or a =5 pm sqrt(10)`
thus `a=5+sqrt(10)`
CaseIII: `(a)/(2)ge0`
In this case f(x) attains the global minumum value at x =0 thus f(0)=3
`therefore3=a^(2)-2a+2 or a =1 pm`
Thus a =1-`sqrt(2)`
HENCE the permissiable values of a are `1-sqrt(2) and 2+sqrt(10)`
f(x) =`4x^(2)-49x+a^(2)-2a+2`is monotonic in [0,2]
Hence the point of minima of funciton should not lie in [0,2]
Now `f(x) =0 or 8x-4a=0 or x =a//2`
`(a)/(2)in [0,2] or a in [0,4]`
For f(x) to be monotomic [0,2], and[0,4] i/.ea `le 0 or age4`

Solution :`(a)` `S=^(39)P_(19)+^(38)P_(19)+^(37)P_(19)+....+^(20)P_(19)`
`=19!{'^(30)C_(19)+^(38)C_(19)+^(37)C_(19)+....+^(20)C_(19)}`
`=19!{'^(39)C_(19)+^(38)C_(19)+^(37)C_(19)+....+('^(20)C_(19)+^(20)C_(19))-1}`
`=19!{'^(39)C_(19)+^(38)C_(19)+....+('^(21)C_(19)+^(21)C_(19))-1}`
`=19!{'^(40)C_(20)-1}`
`=((41-1)(41-2)(41-3).....(41-20)-20!)/(20)=(41k)/(20)`
`implies` greatest PRIME number is `41`

Answer»

`r= pm3hati+3hatj`
`r=3hati+3hatj`
`r=pm 3hati+3hatj`
None of these

Solution :Here, `m="cos"pi/4=1/sqrt(2)` and `n="cos"pi/2 =0`
Therefore, `l^(2)+m^(2)+n^(2)=1` [GIVEN]
`l^(2)+1/2 +0=1`
`IMPLIES l= pm 1/sqrt(2)`
Hence, the required VECTOR `r=3sqrt(2) (l HAT(i)+m hat(j)+n hat(k))` is given by `r=3sqrt(2) (pm 1/sqrt(2) hat(i) +1/sqrt(2) hat(j) + 0hat(k))=r= pm 3 hat(i)+3hat(j)`
