intdx/sqrt(4x^2-4x+5)

Answer»

Solution :`INTDX/SQRT(4x^2-4x+5)=intdx/(sqrt((2x-1)^2) +2^2)`
=`1/2log(2x-1+sqrt(4x^2-4x+5)+C`

Let X be the soultion set of the equation A^(x)=-I, where A = [[0 , 1, -1],[4, -3, 4],[3, -3, 4]] and I is the corresponding unit matrix and x subseteq N,the minimum value ofsum ( cos ^(x) theta + sin ^(x) theta )theta in R - { (npi)/2 , n in I }is

Answer»


Solution :` because A = [[0,1,-1],[4,-3,4],[3,-3,4]]`
`therefore A^(2) = A cdot A =[[0,1,-1],[4,-3,4],[3,-3,4]][[0,1,-1],[4,-3,4],[3,-3,4]] = [[1,0,0],[0,1,0],[0,0,1]]= I `
`RARR A^(2) = I rArr A^(4) = A^(6) = A^(8) = ... = I`
Now, `A^(X) = I`
`rArr x = 2, 4, 6, 8...`
`therefore sum (cos ^(x) theta + sin ^(x) theta ) = ( cos^(2) theta + sin ^(2) theta) + (cos ^(4) theta + sin^(4) theta ) + (cos^(6) theta + sin ^(6) theta) + ...`
`=(cos^(2) theta + cos^(4) theta + cos ^(6) theta +...) `
`+ (sin^(2) theta + sin^(4) theta + sin^(6) theta + ...)`
`= (cos^(2) theta)/(1- cos^(2) theta) + (sin ^(2) theta)/(1- sin ^(2) theta)`
`= cot^(2) theta + tan ^(2) theta ge 2`
hences, minimumvalue of `sum (cos^(x) theta+ sin ^(x) theta)` is 2.

Let points A,B and C lie on lines y-x=0, 2x-y=0 and y-3x=0, respectively. Also, AB passes through fixed point P(1,0) and BC passes through fixed point Q(0,-1). Then prove that AC also passes through a fixed point and find that point.

Answer»

Solution :Let the coordiantes of points A,B and C be `(alpha, alpha), (beta,2beta) " and " (gamma, 3gamma)`, respectively.
Points A,B, P are COLLINEAR.
`therefore |{:(1,0,1),(alpha,alpha, 1),(beta, 2beta,1):}| = 0`
`rArr alpha-2beta+alphabeta=0 "" (1)`
ALSO, points B,C,Q are collinear.
`therefore |{:(0, -1,1),(beta,2beta,1),(gamma, 3gamma,1):}| = 0`
`rArr beta-gamma +beta gamma = 0`
`rArr beta = (gamma)/(1+gamma) "" (2)`
PUTTING value of `beta` in equation (1), we get `alpha +2alpha gamma = 2gamma.`
Let AC pass through fixed point R(h, K).
Since C, A and R are collinear,
`|{:(alpha,alpha,1),(gamma,3 gamma, 1),(h, k,1):}| = 0`
`rArr h(alpha-3gamma) - k(alpha-gamma) +2alphagamma = 0`
`rArr h(alpha-3gamma) - k(alpha-gamma) +2gamma-alpha = 0`
`rArr alpha(h-k-1) + gamma(-3h+k+2)=0 " for all "alpha,gamma`
`therefore h-k-1=0 " and "-3h+k+2 =0`
`therefore h =(1)/(2), k =-(1)/(2)`
`"Thus, AC passes through the point " ((1)/(2), -(1)/(2)).`

Answer»

`a GT 0, b lt 0`
`a lt , b lt 0`
`a gt 0, b in R`
none of these

Solution :If f(X) is continous then `f(3^(-))=f(3^(+))`
or `-9+12+a=3a+b or 2a+b=3`
Also `f(4^(+)) or 4a+b=-b+6 r 2a+b=3`
Thus f(x) is contnous for infinite values of a and b also
`f(x)={{:(-2x+4,xlt3),(a,3ltxlt4),((-b)/(4),xgt4):}`
For f(x) to be diffentiable
`f(3^(-))=f(3^(+))`
or `a=-2 and -(bb)/(4) =a=-2 or b=8`
But these values do not SATISFY equation (1)
HENCE f(x) cannot be differentiable

If n is a positive integer and (1 + x + x^(2))^(n) = a_(0) + a_(1) x + …. + a_(2 n) x^(2 n). Then, show that, a_(0)^(2) - a_(1)^(2) + ….a_(2n)^(2) = a_(n).

Answer»

Solution :`(1 + x + x^(2))^(N) = a_(0) + a_(1)x + ...+ a_(2N)x^(2n)…(i)`
REPLACING x by `-1//x` , we get
`(1- (1)/( x )+(1)/ x^(2))^(n) = a_(0) - (a_(1))/(x)+(a_(2))/(x^(2))+(a_(3))/(x^(3)) + ...+ (a_(2n))/(x^(2n))….(ii)`
Now , `a_(0)^(2) - a_(1)^(2) + a_(2)^(2) - a_(3)^(2) +...a_(2n)^(2) = ` , COEFFICIENT of the
term independent of x in
` [ a_(0) + a_(1)x + a_(2) x^(2) +...+ a_(2n)x^(2n)] xx[a_(0) - (a_(1))/(x) + (a_(2))/(x^(2))- ... + (a_(2n))/(x^(2n))]`
= Coefficient of the term independent of x in
`(1 + x + x^(2))^(n) (1 - (1)/(x) + (1)/(x^(2)))^(n)`
Now , RHS = ` (1 + x + x^(2))^(n) (1 - (1)/(x) + (1)/(x^(2)))^(n)`
`((1 + x + x^(2))^(n) (x^(2) - x + 1 )^(n))/(x^(2n))=([(x^(2) + 1)^(2)- x ^(2)]^(n))/(x^(2n))`
`((1 + 2x^(2) + x^(4) - x ^(2))^(n))/(x^(2n)) = (1 + x^(2) +x^(4))^(n)/(x^(2n))`
Thus , ` a_(0)^(2) - a_(1)^(2) + a_(2)^(2) - a_(3)^(2) +...+ a_(2n)^(2)`
= Coefficient of the term independent of x in
` (1)/(x^(2n)) (1 + x^(2) + x^(4))^(n)`
= Coefficient of `x^(2n) ` "in" `(1 + x ^(2) + x^(4))^(n)`
= COFFICIENT of ` t^(n)` "in" ` (1 + t + t^(2))^(n) = a_(n)`.
