Draw the graph of f(x)=[cot^(-1)x]," where "[*] representsthe greatest integer funtion.

Answer»

Solution :Given `F(X)=[cos^(-1)x]`
`cot^(-1)x`is a decreasing function in R.
So `[cot^(-1)x]` is discontinuous whn `cot^(-1)x` is an interger.
Now `0lecot^(-1)x lepi" for "x in R`
So `[cot^(-1)x]` is discontinuous when`cot^(-1)x=1,2,3`
or`x=cot1, cot2, cot3`
When `[cot^(-1)x]=0,0lecot^(-1)xlt1:.cot1ltxleoo`
When `[cot^(-1)x]=1,1lecot^(-1)xlt2:.cot2ltxlecot1` ltbrtgt When `[cot^(-1)x]=2,2lecot^(-1)xlt3:.cot3ltxlecot2`
`[cot^(-1)x]=3,3lecot^(-1)xltpi:.-ooltxlecot3`
So the graph of `f(x)[cot^(-1)x]` can be DRAWN as FOLLOWS.

A tangent is drawn at any point on the hyperbola (x^(2))/(a^(2))-(y^(2))/(b^(2)) =1. If this tangent is intersected by the tangents at the vertices at points P and Q, then which of the following is/are true

Answer»

S,S',P and Q are concyclic
PQ is diameter of the circle
S,S', P and Q forms rhombus
PQ is diagonal of acute angle of the rhombus formed by S,S',P and Q

Solution :
Any tangent to the hyperbola is `(X sec THETA)/(a) -(y TAN theta)/(b) =1` Solving this line with the lines `x = +-a`, we get the COORDINATES of points P and Q as
`(a,b tan.(theta)/(2))` and `(-a,-b cot.(theta)/(2))`
Now slopes of the lines PS and QS are
`m_(PS) =(btan.(theta)/(2))/(a(1-e)), m_(QS) =(-b cot.(theta)/(2))/(-a(1+e))`
`rArr m_(PS).m_(QS) =(-b^(2))/(a^(2)(e^(2)-1)) =-1`
Similarly `m_(PS). m_(QS') =-1`
`rArr` line PQ subtends and angle of `(pi)/(2)` at S and S'
`rArr` points P,Q,S and S' are concyclic.
`rArr PQ` is diameter.

Find the centre and radius of the following circles : 4x^2 + 4y^2 - 4x + 12y - 15 = 0

Answer»

Solution :`4X^2 + 4y^2 - 4x + 12y - 15 = 0`
or, `x^2 + y^2 -x + 3y - (15)/4 = 0`
`therefore` 2g = -1, 2F = 3, c = -15/4
`therefore` G = -1/2, f = 3/2
`therefore` Centre at (-g, -f) = (1/2, -3/2)
and radius `sqrt(g^2 + f^2 -c)`
= `sqrt(1/4 + 9/4 + (15)/4)` = 5/2
