Prove that .^(n)C_(0) +5 xx .^(n)C_(1) + 9 xx .^(n)C_(2) + "…." + (4n+1) xx .^(n)C_(n) = (2m+1) 2^(n).

Answer»

Solution :`S = .^(n)C_(0) + 5 XX .^(n)C_(1)+9xx.^(n)C_(2)+"....."(4n-3)xx.^(n)C_(n-1)+(4n+1)xx.^(n)C_(n)"......"(1)`
`:. S = (4n+1).^(n)C_(n)+(4n-3).^(n)C_(n-1)+"...."+5.^(n)C_(1)+.^(n)C_(n)"....."(2)`
ADDING (1) and(2), we get
`2S = (4n+2)(.^(n)C_(0)+.^(n)C_(1)+"....."+.^(n)C_(n-1)+.^(n)C_(n))`
`= (4n+2)2^(n)`
`RARR S = (2n+1)2^(n)`

Consider vectors veca,vecb,vecc,vecp=(vecb.vecc)veca-(vecc.veca)vecb,vecq=(veca.vecc)vecb-(veca.vecb)vecc,vecr=(vecb.veca)vecc-(vecb.vecc)veca, then

Answer»

<P>`vecp.vecc=0`
`vecp,vecq,VECR` can form a triangle
`/_\A(veca)B(vecb)C(vecc)` and `/_\P(vecp)Q(vecq)R(vecr)` are similar
`vecp,vecq,vecr` are collinear

Solution :`vecp+vecq+vecr=0`
So, `vecp, vecq, vecr` can form a triangle
`vecp.ecc=(vecb.vecc)(veca.vecc)-(vecc.veca)(vecb.vecc)=0`
`:.vecp_|_vecc`
`impliesvecq-\-veca` and `vecr_|_vecb`

If f(x)={(sin(x^(2)-3x),xle0 .^x+5x^(2),xgt0

Answer»

f(x) has a LOCAL minima
f(x) has a local maxima
f(x) has POINT of inflection
NONE of these

Solution :f(x)=sin 0 =0
`f(x)^(+))rarr(0^(+))`
`f(0^(+))=underset(xrarr0)lim sin (x^(2)-3x)=underset(hrarr0)limsin (H^(2)+3h)rarr0^(+)`
Thus `f(x^(+)) and f(0^(-))gtf(x)`
Hence x =0 is point of manima

Find the point of extream of the function f(x) =(12)/(x^(x)).Draw the graph of the function and hence find therange of function .Also detrmine which is bigger,(1)/(pi)^(1/e) or (1)/(e )^((1)/(pi))?

Answer»

Solution :`f(x)=(1/x)^(x)`
`f(x) =(1/x)^(x)(log_(e)(1))/(x)-1`
`f(x) 0 rarr log_(e)(1)/(x)=1 rArr x=(1)/(c )`
Sign scheme of f(x) is as follows:

From the sing scheme `x=(1)/(c )` is point of MAXIMA.
Also `UNDERSET(xrarr0)lim(1/x)^(x)=e^(xrarr0^(limxlog))(1/x)=e^(xrarr0^(-lixxlogx))=e(0)=1`
and `underset(xrarr00)lim (1/x^(x))=0`
so, GRAPH of the function isas SHOWN in the following

From the graph range of the function is `0,f(1//e) or 0,e^(1)`
Now `pigte`
`f(pi)ltf(e)`
`(1)/(pi^(pi))lt(1)/(e^(e))`
`(1)/(pi^(1/e)) lt (1/e^(1))/(pi)`

Draw the graph of f(x) = (sin x)/(sqrt(1 + tan^(2)x))- (cos x)/(sqrt(1 + cot^(2)x)). Then find the range of f(x).

Answer»

SOLUTION :`f(x) = (SIN x)/(|sec x|) - (cos x)/(|"cosec "x|)`
`= sin x *| cos x| - cos x * |sin x|`
`= {{:(0",", x in (0", "pi//2)),(-sin 2x, x in (pi//2, pi)),(0",", x in (pi, 3pi//2)),(sin 2x",", x in (3pi//2, 2pi)):}`
Clearly the domain of f(x) is `R - {(NPI)/(2), nin Z}` and the PERIOD of f(x) is `2pi`.
So the range of f(x) is (-1, 1).

Draw the graph of y=2x^(2)-1 and heance the graph of f(x)=cos^(-1)2x^(2)-1).

Answer»

Solution :`y=2x^(2)-1` is an UPWARD parabola having VERTEX at (0,-1).
It meets the x-axis at `(+-sqrt0)`
For `f(x)=cos^(-1)(2x^(2)-1)`to get defined.
`-1le2x^(2)-1le1`
`or""0le2x^(2)le2`
`or""0lex^(2)le1`
`or""-1lexle1`
Hence the domain of `y=f(x) is [-1,1]`
`Now f(-1)=f(1)=cos^(-1)=0" and "f(0)=cos^(-1)(-1)=pi`
So the inportant points of the graph paper are as FOLLOWS.

`"Now"f'(x)=(4X)/(sqrt(1-(2x^(2)-1))^(2))`
Clearly f'(x) does not EXIST at x=0, heance f(x) is non-differenctiable at x=0
`" Also"f'(x)gt0 "for x in [-1,0]`
`"and"f'(x)lt0 for x in (0, 1]`.
Hence the graph of `y=cos^(-1)(2x^(2)-1)`can be drawn as follows.
