Each side of a square has length 4 units and its center is at (3,4). If one of the diagonals is parallel to the line y=x, then anser the following questions. ,brgt The radius of the circle inscribed in the triangle formed by any two vertices of the square and the center is

Answer»

`2(sqrt(2)-1)`
`2(sqrt(2)+1)`
`sqrt(2)(sqrt(2)-1)`
none of these

Solution :It is given that one of the diagonals of the square is parallel to the line `y=x`
Also, the length of the DIAGONAL of the square is `4 sqrt(2)`
Hence, the equation of one of the diagonals is
`(x-3)/(1//sqrt(2))=(y-4)/(1//sqrt(2))=r = +-2 sqrt(2)`
Hence, `x-3= y-4= +- 2`
or `x=5,1` and `y=6,2`
Hence, two of the VERTICES are `(1,2)` and `(5,6)`
The other diagonal is parallel to the line `y= -x` , so that its equation is
`(x-3)/(-1//sqrt(2))=(y-4)/(1 //sqrt(2))=r = +- 2 sqrt(2)`
Hence, the two vertices on this diagonal are (1,6) and (5,2)

`AB =4, AC= 4 sqrt(2)`
`:. AE =2 sqrt(2)`
In first figure, `EF+FA = AE`
or `r +sqrt(2) r = 2 sqrt(2)`
or `r= (2sqrt(2))/( sqrt(2)+1)=2sqrt(2)(sqrt(2)-1)`
In second figure, `EG +FG =EF`
or `sqrt(2)r +r=2`
or `r= (2)/(sqrt(2)+1)=2(sqrt(2)-1)`

Find the minimum integral value of k for which the equation e^(x)=kx^(2) has exactly three real distinct solutions.

Answer»

Solution :Given equation is `e^(x)=kx^(2)`.
`RARR k=e^(x)/x^(2)`
Now let `f(x)=e^(x)/x^(2)`
`THEREFORE f^(')(x) = ((x-2)e^(x))/(x^(3))`
`f^(')(x)=0 therefore x=2`, which is the point of MINIMA.
Also `f(2) =e^(2)/4`
`underset(x to infty)"lim"e^(x)/x^(2)=infty` (using L' Hospital rule twice)
`underset(x to infty) e^(x)/x^(2)=0`
`underset(x to 0)"lim"e^(x)/x^(2)=infty`
Further `f(x) gt 0, AA x in R`.
From this INFORMATION, the graph of `f(x)` is as shown in the following figure.

Thus, three real distinct solutions for `k lt e^(2)/4, k in I`.
So, `k_("min") =2`.

Answer»


ANSWER :(i) `(dx)/(x) - (dy)/(2) = 0` (ii) x dx + y dy = 0

Consider the function f(x) satisfying the identityf(x) +f((x-1)/(x))=1+x AA x in R -{0,1}, and g(x)=2f(x)-x+1. The domain of y=sqrt(g(x)) is

Answer»

`(-oo,(1-sqrt(5))/(2)] CUP [1,(1+sqrt(5))/(2)]`
`(-oo,(1-sqrt(5))/(2)] cup (0,1)cup [(1+sqrt(5))/(2),oo)`
`[(-1-sqrt(5))/(2),0] cup [(-1+sqrt(5))/(2),1)`
None of these

Solution :`f(X)+f((x-1)/(x))=1+x "(1)" `
In (1), replace x by `(x-1)/(x)`. Then
`f((x-1)/(x))+f(((x-1)/(x)-1)/((x-1)/(x)))=1+(x-1)/(x)`
`ORF((x-1)/(x))+f((1)/(1-x))=1+(x-1)/(x) "(2)" `
Now, from `(1) -(2)`, we have
`f(x)-f((1)/(1-x))=x-(x-1)/(x) "(3)" `
In (3), replace x by `(1)/(x-1)`. Then
`f((1)/(1-x))-f((x-1)/(x))=(1)/(1-x)-((1)/(1-x)-1)/((1)/(1-x))`
` orf((1)/(1-x))-f((x-1)/(x))=(1)/(1-x)-x "(4)" `
Now, from `(1)+(3)+(4)`, we have
`2f(x)=1+x+x-(x-1)/(x)+(1)/(1-x)-x`
` orf(x)=(x^(3)-x^(2)-1)/(2x(x-1))`
`g(x)=(x^(3)-x^(2)-1)/(x(x-1))-x+1=(x^(2)-x-1)/(x(x-1))`
Now, for `y=sqrt(g(x)),` we must have `(x^(2)-x-1)/(x(x-1)) GE 0`
`or ((x-(1-sqrt(5))/(2))(x-(1+sqrt(5))/(2)))/(x(x-1)) ge 0`
`orx in (-oo,(1-sqrt(5))/(2)] cup (0,1)cup [(1+sqrt(5))/(2),oo)`
