=`(logx)^2 x^2/2 -int 2 logx XX 1/x xx x^2/2 dx`
=`x^2/2 (logx)^2 - int x logx dx`
=`x^2/2 (logx)^2-[logx xx x^2/2-int 1/x x^2/2 dx]`
=`x^2/2 (logx)^2-x^2/2 (logx) +1/2 x^2/2 +c`

In the following figure, find the locus of centroid of triangle PAB, where AP perpendicular to PB.

Answer»

Solution :`:.`Slope of AP `=(2)/(t)`
`rArr`Slope of BP `=-(t)/(2)`
So, equation of line BP is `y-2t=-(t)/(2)(x-t^(2))`.
Putting y = 0, we get POINT B as `(t^(2)+4,0)`. Now , let centroid of `Delta PAB` be (h,k).
`:.""h=(t^(2)+t^(2)+4)/(3)andk=(2t)/(3)`
Eliminating 't', we get
`3h-4=2((3k)/(2))^(2)`
`:.""3x-4=(9Y^(2))/(2)`, which is the required locus.

If I_(1)=int_(0)^(1)(1-(1-x^(3))^(sqrt(2)))^(sqrt(3)) x^(2)dx and I_(2)(1-(1-x^(3))^(sqrt(2)))^(sqrt(3)+1).x^(2)dx. Then ((I_(1))/(I_(2))-(sqrt(3)-1)/(2sqrt(2))+0.2)/10 is equal to _________

Answer»


SOLUTION :Let `1-x^(3)=t`
`3l_(1)=int_(0)^(1)(1-t^(SQRT(2)))^(sqrt(3)) dt` and `3l_(2)=int_(0)^(1)(1-t^(sqrt(2)))^(sqrt(3)+1).1.dt`
`=int_(0)^(1)(sqrt(3)+1)sqrt(2)(1-t^(sqrt(2)))^(sqrt(3))(1-t^(sqrt(2))-1)dt` (Using integration by parts)
`3l_(2)=-(sqrt(3)+1)sqrt(2).3l_(2)+(sqrt(3)+1)sqrt(2).3l_(1)`
So, `(l_(1))/(l_(2))-(sqrt(3)-1)/(2sqrt(2))+0.2=1+(sqrt(3)-1)/(sqrt(2))-(sqrt(3)-1)/(2sqrt(2))+0.2=1.2`

abs(A xx B) = 6. If (-1,y), (1,x),(0,y) are in A xx B. Write other elements in A xx B , where x ne y.

Answer»

Solution :Let `abs(A XX B)` = 6and (-1,y) (1,x) (0,y) `in A xx B`
`rArr -1, 1,0 in A and x,y in B`
As `abs(A xx B)` = 6 and 3` xx` 2 = 6 We have A = { -1,1,0} and {x,y}
Thus other element of `A xx B`are (-1,x), (1,y) (0,x)
