Find the eqation of the plane passing through (a,b,c) and parallel to the plane vecr.(hati+hatj+hatk)=2

Answer»


Answer :`hati+hatj+hatk` is a vector normal to the given plane. Since the required plane and the given plane are PARALLEL, this vector will be a vector noraml to the required plane also. `therefore` The DIRECTION ratios of the normal to the required plane are 1,1,1.
Hence, the required equation is 1(x-a)+1(y-b)+1(z-c)=0
x-a+y-b+z=0 i.e., x+y+z=a+b+c

If f (6-x ) =f (x), for all then 1/5 int _(2)^(3) x [f (x) + f (x+1)]dx is equal to :

Answer»

`INT _(3) ^(4) f (X+z) DX`
`int _(3 )^(4) f (x+1) dx`
` int _(1) ^(2) f (x+1) dx`
`int _(1) ^(3) f (x) dx`

Solution :`I =1/5 int _(2)^(3) x [ f (x) + f (x+1)]dx""…(i)`
`I =1/5 int _(2)^(3) ( 5-x) [f (5-x) + f (6-x)]dx` II)`
Adding (i) and (ii)
`2I =5/5 int _(2)^(3) [f (x) + f(x+1) ]dx`
`2I = int _(2)^(2) f (x) dx + int _(2) ^(3) f (x+1) dx`
`2I = int _(2)^(3) f (x) dx + int _(2)^(3) f [6-x] dx`
`2I = int _(2) ^(3) f (x) dx + int _(2)^(3) f (x) dx`
`I = int _(2)^(3) f (x) dx implies I= int _(1) ^(2) f (x +1) dx`

Examine the continuity of the following functions at indicated points.f(x)={((x^2-a^2)/(x-a),if xnea atx=a),(a, ifx=a):}

Answer»

Solution :`lim_(xtoa)f(X)=lim_(xtoa)(x^2-a^2)/(x-a)`
`lim_(xtoa)((x-a)(x+a))/(x-a)`
`lim_(xtoa)(x+a)=2a`
Now f(a)=a
Hence `lim_(xtoa)f(x)NEF(a)`
So f(x)is not CONTINUOUS at x=a

A company manufactures two types of screws A and B. all the screws have to pass through a threading machine and a slotting machine. A box of type A screw requires 2min on the threading machine and 3 min on the slotting machine. A box of type B screw requires 8 min on the threading machine and 2 min on the slotting machine. In a week each machine is availbale for 60h. On selling these screws, the company gets a profit of 100 box on type A screw and 170 per box on type B screws. Formulate this problem as a LPP given that the objective is to maximise profit.

Answer»


Solution :Let the company manufactures x boxes of TYPES A SCREWS and y boxes of types B screws From the given INFORMATION, we have following correspondingconstraint table

Thus, we see that objective function for maximum proft is Z=100x+170y
Subject to constraints
`2x+8y le 60 XX 60 ["time constraints for threading machine"]`
`Rightarrow x+4y le 1800..(i) `
and `3x+2y le 60xx60["time constraint for slotting machine"]`
`Rightarrow 3x+2y le 3600....(ii)`
Also, `x ge 0, y ge 0 ["non negative contraints"] ...(iii)`
`therefore "REQUIRED LPP is"`
Maximise `Z=100x+170y`
Subject to constraints `x+4y le 1800, 3x+2y le 3600, x ge 0, y le 0`,
