For (2n+1) observations x_(1), x_(2),-x_(2),..,x_(n),-x_(n) and 0, where all x's are distinct, let SD and MD denote the standard deviation and median, respectively. Then which of the following is always true ?

Answer»

`SD lt MD`
`SD GT MD`
SD=MD
Nothing can be said in general about the relationship between SD and MD

Solution :On ARRANGING the given observations in ascending order, we get All NEGATIVE terms `ubrace("0")_((n+1)^(th)"term")` All positive terms
Median of given observations =(n+1)th term=0
`therefore SD gt MD`

Solution :2
a. We GET COMMON NORMAL perpendicular to y=x.
So, slope `=-1rArrx+y=3a`
b. Tangent to the parabola y=mx+a/m passes through the point P(h,k).
`rArrm^(2)h-mk+a=0`
If its roots are `m_(1)andm_(2)`, then `m_(1)m_(2)-+1`
Thus, locus is x=a.
c. The tangents are
`y=m(x+a)+a//m`(1)
`andy=(-1)/(m)(x+2a)-2am`(2)
Subtracting (1) from (2), we get
x+3a=0
d. If chord joining `t_(1)andt_(1)` subtends angle of `90^(@)` at vertex then `t_(1)t_(2)=-4`. Point of intersection of tangents is `(-at_(1)t_(1),-a(t_(1)+t_(1)))`. So, the locus is x=4a.

If1/4x +2y = 11/4 and -6y -x=7, what is half

Answer»


Solution :START by clearing the fractions from the first equation (by multiplying by 4) to MAKE the numbers easier to work with. Then use combination to SOLVE for y:
`x + 8y=11`
`(+ -x-6y=7)/(2y=18)`
`y =9`
TAKE half of 9 to get `9/2,` then GIRD in `9/2` or 4.5.

Solution :Let `x+sqrt(1+x^(2))=t`
`+x^(2)=t^(2)+x^(2)-2txrArr1=t^(2)-2txrArrx=(1)/(2)(t-(1)/(t))rArrdx=(1)/(2)(1+(1)/(t^(2)))dt`
Now,`OVERSET(oo)underset(1)(f)(1)/(t^(5))(1)/(2)(1+(t)/(t^(2)))dt=(1)/(2)overset(oo)underset(1)(f)((1)/(t^(5))+(1)/(t^(4)))dt`
`I=(-1)/(2)((1)/(4T^(4))+(1)/(6t^(6)))underset(1)overset(oo)| `
`I=(5)/(24)=(m)/(n)` (given)
So,(m+n)=29.

If theta is tbe acute angle between the diagonals of a cube, then which one of the following is correct?

Answer»

Solution :
LET there be cube of side 'a'. Co-ordinates of its vertices O,A,B,C,D,E,F have be marked in the figure. Diagonals are OE, FC, GB and AD. Direction ratios `(dr_3)` of these diagonals are : `OE((a-0),(a-0),(a-0))=(a,a,a)FC((-a,a,-a),GB((-a,a,a))and AD((a,a,-a))`
Their dcs are:
`OE,{a/sqrt(a^2+a^2+a^2),a/sqrt(a^2+a^2+a^2),a/sqrt(a^2+a^2+a^2)}`
`=(1/sqrt3,1/sqrt3,1/sqrt3)`
`AD,(:a/sqrt(Sigmaa^2),a/sqrt(Sigmaa^2),(-a)/sqrt(Sigmaa^2),:)=(:1/sqrt3,1/sqrt3,(-1)/sqrt3:)`
Angle ,`theta`, between AD and OE is given by
`costheta=pm(1/sqrt3xx1/sqrt3+1/sqrt3xx1/sqrt3-1/sqrt3xx1/sqrt3)/sqrt({(1/sqrt3)^2+(1/sqrt3)^2+(1/sqrt3)^2}{(1/sqrt3)^2+(1/sqrt3)^2+(-1/sqrt3)^2})`
`=(1/3)/(1xx1)=pm1/3`
Since the cube is in positive OCTANT, we take `+1/3`
So, `costheta=1/3rArrthetagt60`
[Since value of `costheta` DECREASES as `theta` increases in 0 to `90^@.costheta=1" when "theta=0^@ and costheta=0" when "theta=90^@]`
