|
Answer» `x ge 0` apparently the x values are always greater than some value. Usethe TRACE function to MOVE the cursoras FAR left on the gaph as it will go this leads to (correct) guessof `x ge-1/4` this can be verified by completing the squre on the x equation `x=(t^(2)+t+1/4)-1/4=(t+1/2)^(2)-1/4` This represent a PARABOLA that opens up with vertex at `(-1/2,-1/4)` Therefore `x ge -1/4` |

Integrate the following functions 1/(cos^2x (1-tanx)^2) |
|
Answer» SOLUTION :`1/(cos^2x(1-tanx)^2) = sec^x/(1-tanx)^2` Let 1-tanx = t Then `DT = -sec^2xdx` `GT sec^2x DX = -dt` therefore` int 1/(cos^2x(1-tanx)^2 dx` =`int -(dt)/t^2 = 1/t+c = 1/(1-tanx)+c` |

Let S be the set of all column matrices [(b_(1)),(b_(2)),(b_(3))] such that b_(1), b_(2), b_(2) in R and the system of equations (in real variables) -x+2y+5z=b_(1) 2x-4y+3z=b_(2) x-2y+2z=b_(3) has at least one solution. The, which of the following system (s) (in real variables) has (have) at least one solution for each [(b_(1)),(b_(2)),(b_(3))] in S ? |
|
Answer» `x+2y+3z=b_(1), 4y+5z=b_(2)` and `x+2y+6z=b_(3)` `Delta=|(-1,2,5),(2,-4,3),(1,-2,2)|=0` Since no pair of planes is parallel, there are infinite NUMBER of solutions. Let `alphaP_(1)+betaP_(2)=P_(3)` `:. P_(1)+7P_(2)=13 P_(3)` `:. b_(1)+7b_(2)=13 b_(3)` (1) `x+2y+3x=b_(1), 4y+5z=b_(2)` and `x+2y+6z=b_(3)`. Since `Delta ne 0`, system has at least one solution for any SET of values of `b_(1), b_(2)` and `b_(3)`. (2) `x+y+3z=b_(1), 5x+2y+6z=b_(2)` and `-2x-y-3z=b_(3)` Since `Delta=0` and `b_(1)+7b_(2) ne 13 b_(3)`, system of equations has no solution. (3) `-x+2y-5z=b_(1), 2x-4y+10z=b_(2)` and `x-2y-5z=b_(1), 2x-4y+10z=b_(2)` and `x-2y+5z=b_(3)`. Since planes are parallel, there is no solution for any set of values of `b_(1), b_(2)` and `b_(3)`. (4) `x+2y+5z=b_(1), 2x+3z=b_(2)` and `x+4y-5z=b_(3)` since `Delta ne 0`, system has at least one solution for any set of values of `b_(1), b_(2)` and `b_(3)`. |

Find the angle between the vectors hat(i)-2hat(j)+3hat(k) and 3hat(i)-2hat(j)+hat(k). |
|
Answer» Solution :Let `vec(a)=HAT(i)-2hat(j)+3hat(k) and vec(b)=3hat(i)-2hat(j)+hat(k)`. Magnitude of `vec(a),|vec(a)|=sqrt(1^2+(-2)^2+3^2)=sqrt(1+4+9)=sqrt(14)`. Magnitude of `vec(b),|vec(b)|=sqrt(3^2+(-2)^2+1^2)=sqrt(9+4+1)=sqrt(14)`. Now, `vec(a)vec(b)=(hat(i)-2hat(j)+3hat(k)).(3hat(i)-2hat(j)+hat(k))=1.3+(-2).(-2)+3.1=3+4+3=10` (Do product of TWO VECTORS is equal to the sum of the products of their corresponding components.) Let `theta` be the required angle between a and b then `cos theta =(vec(a).vec(b))/(|vec(a)||vec(b)|)=(10)/(sqrt(14)sqrt(14))=(10)/(14)=(5)/(7)rArr theta= cos^(-1)((5)/(7))`. |

(a,0) and (b,0) are centres of two circles belonging to a coaxial system of which y-axis is the radical axis. If radius of one of the circle is r then the radius of the other circles is |
|
Answer» `(r^(2) + B^(2) + a^(2))^(1//2)` LET the radius of other circle be `r_(2)` Equation of circles are `(x - a)^(2) + y^(2) = r^(2)` and `(x - b)^(2) + y^(2) = r_(2)^(2)` `implies S -= x^(2) + y^(2) 2ax - r^(2) + a^(2) = 0` and `S^(1) -= x^(2) + y^(2) - 2bx - r_(2)^(2) + b^(2) = 0` Radical AXIS is, `S - S^(1) = 0` `implies -2ax - r^(2) + 2bx + r_(2)^(2) + a^(2) - b^(2) = 0` `implies` since radical axis is y-axis `implies x = 0` `implies r_(2)^(2) = r^(2) + a^(2) - b^(2) = 0` `implies r_(2)^(2) = r^(2) + b^(2) - a^(2)` `:. r_(2) = (r^(2) + b^(2) - a^(2)y^(2))` |

|
Answer» (-5, -6) and `S^(1) -= x^(2) + y^(2) - 6x - 4y - 3 = 0` Equation of coaxial system of circles is `S + lambda L - 0` `L = S - S^(1) = 0` `implies 2X + 2y + 8 = 0` `implies x + y + 4 = 0` `implies x^(2) + y^(2) - 4x - 2y + 5 + lambda x + lambda y +4 lambda = 0` `implies x^(2) + y^(2) + x (lambda - 4) + y (lambda - 2) + (5 + 4 lambda) = 0` centre, `C = [(4 - lambda)/(2), (2 - lambda)/(2)]` and radius, r = 0 `implies (16 - 8lambda + lambda^(2) + 4 - 4 lambda + lambda^(2) - 20 - 16 lambda)/(4) = 0` `implies 2 lambda^(2) - 28 lambda = 0` `implies lambda (lambda - 14) = 0` `implies lambda 0, 14` `implies` centre `C = ((4)/(2), (2)/(2))` (or) `((-10)/(2), (-12)/(2))` `:. C = (2,1)` (or) (-5, -6) |
