Answer» an ARC of a circle EQUATION of tangent at M, `x cos theta + y sin theta =r` PUT x=r, to get y-coordinate of point P. `r cos theta + y sin theta =r` `implies y=(r(1-cos theta))/(sin theta)=(r .2.sin^(2)"" theta/2)/(2.sin ""theta/2.cos"" theta/2)=r tan ""theta/2` `:. P=(r,rtan""(theta)/(2))` `:.` Q has y-coordinate same as point P `:. K= r tan""theta/2 impliestan""(theta)/(2)=(K)/(r)` Slope of tangent at `M= - cot theta` Slope of `OQ=(K)/(h)` `:.(K)/(h),(- cot theta)= -h implies than theta =(K)/(h)` `implies (2 tan""(theta)/(2))/(1- tan^(2)""(theta)/(2))=(K)/(h ) implies(2. (K)/(r))/(1-(K^(2))/(r^(2)))=(K)/(h)` `implies (2h)/(r)=1-(K^(2))/(r^(2)) implies(2h)/(r)=(r^(2)-K^(2))/(r^(2))` `implies 2hr=r^(2)-K^(2)` `implies y^(2)=r^(2)-2Kr` `y^(2)= - 2r(x-r//2)` `:.` Parabola |

Draw the graph of f(x) " maximum " {2 sin x, 1 - cos x}, x in (0, pi). Also find the range of g(x) " min " {2 sin x, 1 - cos x}, x in (0, pi) |
|
Answer» Solution :Let us first DRAW graphs of `g_(1)(x) = 2 sin x` and `g_(2)(x) = 1 - cos x` `g_(1)(0) = g_(1)(pi) = 0, g_(1)(pi//2) = 2` `g_(2)(x) = sin x gt 0, AA x in (0, pi)` So `g_(2)' (x)` is increasing. `g_(2)(0) = 0, g_(2)(pi//2) = 1, g_(2)(pi) = 2` Graph of functions are as shown in the FOLLOWING figure. Curves y = 2 sin x and y = 1 - cos x intersect when `4 sin^(2)x = (1 - cos x)^(2)` `rArr` `4(1 + cos x) = (1 - cos x)` `rArr` `4 + 4 cos x = 1 - cos x` `rArr` `cos x = -3//5` `rArr` `x = cos^(-1) (-3//5)` `THEREFORE` `f(x) = {{:(2sinx",", 0 LT x lt pi - "cos"^(-1)(3)/(5)),(1- cos x",", pi - "cos"^(-1)(3)/(5) lt x lt pi):}` Also the range of `g(x) = min {2 sin x, 1-cosx}` is `[0,1 - cos cos^(-1)(-(3)/(5))] -=[1, 8//5].` |
