Solution :`p=xcostheta-ysintheta`
`q=xsintheta+ycostheta`
Given, `p^(2)+4pq+q^(2)=Ax^(2)+By^(2)`
Letus take`theta=(pi)/(4)`.
`p=x"COS"(pi)/(4)-y" cos"(pi)/(4)=(x+y)/(sqrt(2))`
`q=x" sin"(pi)/(4)+y" cos"(pi)/(4)=(x+y)/(sqrt(2))`
`pq=(x^(2)-y^(2))/(2)rArr2pq=x^(2)-y^(2)rArr4pq=2X^(2)-2y^(2)` . . . (1)
Now, `p^(2)+q^(2)=x^(2)cos^(2)theta+y^(2)sin^(2)theta-2xycosthetasintheta+x^(2)sin^(2)theta+y^(2)cos^(2)theta+2xysinthetacostheta=x^(2)+y^(2)`. . . (2)
From(1) , (2) , `p^(2)+q^(2)+4pq=x^(2)+y^(2)+2x^(2)-2y^(2)=3x^(2)-y^(2)`
Comparingthis with the given from , we get
`theta=(pi)/(4),A=3,B=-1`

Incircle of Delta ABC touches the sides BC, CA and AB at D, E and F, respectively. Let r_(1) be the radius of incircle of DeltaBDF. Then prove that r_(1) = (1)/(2) ((s-b) sin B)/((1+ sin.(B)/(2)))

Answer»

Solution :
`ANGLE DIF = pi -B`
Now, `FD = 2FP = 2r sin ((pi -B)/(2)) = 2r cos.(B)/(2)`
Also, `BD = BF = s - b`
Now, in -radius of `DeltaBDF` is `r_(1)`
`:. r_(1) ("AREA of "DeltaBDF)/("Semiperimeter of " DeltaBDF)`
`= ((1)/(2) (s-b)^(2) sinB)/((1)/(2) (2(s-b) + 2r cos.(B)/(2)))`
`= ((s-b) sin B)/(2(1 + tan.(B)/(2) cos.(B)/(2))) "" ( :' r = (s-b) tan.(B)/(2))`
`= ((s-b) sin B)/(2(1+ sin.(B)/(2))) ( :' r = (s-b) tan.(B)/(2))`

For the final puzzle before the first round, professor McGonagall takes Harry to a dun- geon. The 9 floors of the dungeons are shown below as 9 cards.The floor have gotten out of order, so Harry has to stack them up again. When they are stacked correctly, they will contain a path from the start (S) on the bottom floor to the Finish (F) on the top floor that goes through every up and down stairway. As Harry travels the path, every time he hits an up stairway, he must go to the square with the same coordinates on the floor immediately above the one he's on. Likewise, when he hits a down stairway, he must go to the square with the same coordinates on the floor immediately below the one he's on. Harry cannot cross the enchanted blacl walls or retrace his path. The cards are given the values 1-9 row wise starting from the left for every new row. In the final arrangement, let the card corresponding to ith floor be called ci. The, the value of [(c**c9) +(c2**c8) +(c3**c7)+(c4**c6)+c5] is?

Prove that the image of point P(costheta, sin theta) in the line having slope tan(alpha//2) and passing through origin is Q(cos(alpha-theta),sin(alpha-theta)).

Answer»

SOLUTION :
Clearly, `OP=OQ=1`
Now, we have to prove that Q is the image of P in the LINE OR which has slope tan `(alpha//2)`.
Triangle `POQ` is isosceles triangle.
If Q is the image of P in line OR, then OR is the PERPENDICULAR bisector of PQ.
We have to prove that `angle QOM=alpha-THETA`.
`angle ROQ=angle POR=theta-(alpha//2)`
`THEREFORE angle QOM=angleROM-angle ROQ`
`=(alpha//2)-(theta-(alpha))=alpha-theta`

Consider the system of equations x cos^(3) y+3x cos y sin^(2) y=14 x sin^(3) y+3x cos^(2) y sin y=13 The value/values of x is/are

Answer»

`pm 5sqrt(5)`
`pm sqrt(5)`
`pm 1//sqrt(5)`
NONE of these

Solution :The given equations are
`x cos^(3)y+3x cos y sin^(2) y=14` ...(i)
and `x sin^(2) y+3x cos^(2) y sin y=13` ...(ii)
Adding EQS. (i) and (ii), we have
`x(cos^(3) y+3 cos y sin^(2) y+3 cos^(2) y sin y+ sin^(3) y)=27`
or `x(cos y+ sin y)^(3)=27`
or `x^(1//3) (cos y + sin y) =3` ...(iii)
SUBTRACTING Eq. (ii) from Eq. (i), we have
`x(cos^(3)y+3 cos y sin^(2) y-3 cos^(2) y sin y- sin^(3) y)=1`
or `x(cos y- sin y)^(3)=1`
or `x^(1//3) (cos y- sin y)=1` ...(IV)
Dividing Eq. (iii) by (iv), we get
`cos y+sin y=3 cos y-3 sin y`
or `tan y=1//2`
Case I :
`sin y=1//sqrt(5) and cos y =2//sqrt(5)`
`y=2n pi +alpha`, where `0 lt alpha lt pi//2` and `sin alpha =1//sqrt(5)`
i.e., y lies in the first quadrant
From Eqs. (iii) `x^(1//3) (3//sqrt(5))=3 or x=5 sqrt(5)`
Case II :
`sin y=-1//sqrt(5) and cos y=-2//sqrt(5)`
`y=2npi+(pi+alpha)`, where `0 lt alpha lt pi//2`
and `sin alpha = -1 //sqrt(5)`
i.e., y lies in the third quadrant.
Therefore, from Eq. (iii), `x^(1//3) (-3//sqrt(5))=3 or x=-5sqrt(5)`.
Thus, `sin^(2) y+2 cos^(@) y=1//5+8//5=9//5`.
Also there are exactly six values of `y in [0, 6pi]`, there in 1st quadrant and three in 3rd quadrant.

Letf'(sin x)lt0 and f''(sin x) gt0 forall x in (0,(pi)/(2)) and g(x) =f(sinx)+f(cosx) which of the following is true?

Answer»

g(x) is DECREASING in `((pi)/(4),(pi)/(2))`
g(x) increasing in `(0,(pi)/(4))`
g(x) is nonotonically increasing in `(0,(pi)/(2))`
none of these

Solution :`g(x)=f(SINX)COSX-f(cosx)sinx`
or `g(x)=f(sinx)sinx+COS^(2)xf(sinx)`
`f(cos x)sin^(2)x-f(cosxgt0forall x in (0,pi//2)`
[as it is given `f(sinx)=f(cos x (pi//2-x))lt0`
Thus g(x) is increasing in `(0,pi//2)`. Also` g(pi//4)=0`
or `g(x)gt0forallx in ((pi)/(4),(pi)/(2))`
and `g(x) ltforall x in (0,pi//4)`
Thus g(X) is decreasing in `(0,pi//4)`
