If foci of an ellipse are (-2,3),(5,9) & 2x+3y+15=0 is tangent to the ellipse. Then find the point of contact the tangent cannot be

Answer»

`((7)/(2),-1)`
`(-(9)/(2),-2)`
`(-1,(9)/(2))`
`(-1,(7)/(2))`

SOLUTION :As we know that the ray PASSING thorugh on FOCUS will pass through the another after reflection So point `S_(1)` P. `S_(2)^(')` will be collinear.
where `S_(2)^(')` is the point of reflection of `S_(2)` inL.
`S_(2)^(')=(-11,-15)`
So line joining `S_(1)&S_(2)^(')` is given by
`(y-3)=2(x+2)`
`y-3=2x+4`
`2x-y+7=0`
So point `P` will be the point of intersection of
`2x-y+7=0&2x+3y+15=0`
so point P will be the point of intersection of `2x-y+7=0&2x+3y+15=0`
i.e., `(-(9)/(2),-2)`

Lattice energy of Na_(2)CO_(3) is -205 kJ/mole and hydration energy of Na^(+) ion & CO_(3)^(2-) ion are -80kJ/mole and -40kJ/mole respectively. What can be predicted about solubility of Na_(2)CO_(3) in water from the above data.

Answer»

The SOLUBILITY of `Na_(2)CO_(3)` will increase will increase in temperature
The solubility of `Na_(2)CO_(3)` will decrease with increase in temperature
The solubility of `Na_(2)CO_(3)` will REMAIN constant.

Solution :(A)

`=205+(-2 xx80-40)`
`=+5`
`IMPLIES `The process is endothermic
So, the solubility will increase with increase in temperature .

The polynomial P(x)=x^(3)+ax^(2)+bx+c has the property that the mean of its roots, the product of its roots, and the sum of its coefficients are all equal. If the y-intercept of the graph of y=P(x) is 2, The value of P(1) is

Answer»

`0`
`-1`
`2`
`-2`

Solution :The `y`-INTERCEPT is at `x=0`, so we have `c=2`, meaning that the product of the roots is `-2`.
We know that `-a` is the sum of the roots.
The average of the roots is equal to the product, so the sum of the roots is `-6`, and `a=6`.
FINALLY, `1+a+b+c=2` as well, so we have `1+6+b+2=-2`
`impliesb=-11`
`:.P(x)=x^(3)+6X^(2)-11x+2`
`:.P(1)=1+6-11+2=-2`

If vec(beta) is perpendicular to both vec(alpha) and vec(lambda) where vec(alpha)=hat(k) and vec(lambda)=2hat(i)+3 hat(j)+4 hat(k), then what is vec(beta) equal to ?

Answer»

`3HAT(i)+2hat(J)`
`-3hat(i)+2hat(j)`
`2hat(i)-3hat(j)`
`-2hat(i)+3hat(j)`

Solution :Let `VEC(beta)=a hat(i)+b hat(j)+c hat(k)`
Since `vec(beta).vec( ALPHA)=0 and vec(beta).vec(lambda)=0`
`:. C=0 and 2a + 3b=0 rArr a = - (3b)/(2)`
Hence, `vec(beta)=-(3 b)/(2) vec(i)+b hat(j)=0 rArr -3 hat(i)+2 hat(j)=0`
