If f(x)=sqrt("cosec"^2x-2sinx cosx - 1/(tan^2x)) x in ((7pi)/4,2pi), then f.((11pi)/6)=

Answer»

`(1-sqrt3)/2`
`(sqrt3-1)/2`
`(1+sqrt3)/2`
NONE of these

SOLUTION :`f(x)=sqrt("cosec"^2x-cot^2x-2sin x cos x)`
`=sqrt((cosx-sinx)^2)`

f(x)=cos x -sin x
`RARR` f.(x)=-sin x - cos x
`f.((11pi)/6)=-[sin (11pi)/6 + cos(11pi)/6]`
`rArr f.((11pi)/6)=-[(-1)/2+sqrt3/2]=(1-sqrt3)/2`

There are 5 bags, each containing 5 white balls and 3 black balls. Also, there are 6 bags, each containing 2 white balls and 4 black balls. A white balls is drawn at random. Find the probability that this white ball is from a bag of the first group.

Answer»

<P>

SOLUTION :Let `E_1` = event of selecting a bag from the first group,
`E_2` = event of selecting a bag from the second group, and
E = event of drawing a WHITE ball.
Then, `P(E_1)=5/11and P(E_2)=6/11`.
`P(E//E_1)`= probability of GETTING a white ball, given that it is from a bag of the first group
`=5/8`.
`P(E//E_2)` = probability of getting a white ball, given that it is from a bag of the second group
`=2/6=1/3`
Probability of getting the ball from a bag of the first group, given that it is white
`P(E_1//E)`
`=(P(E//E_1).P(E_1))/(P(E//E_1).P(E_1)+P(E//E_2).P(E_2))`[by Bayes's theorem]
`=((5/8xx5/11))/((5/8xx5/11)+(1/3xx6/11))=75/123`.

Solution :`F(x) le0` and `F^(')(x)=f(x)`
Now, `f(x) ge cF(x)`
or `e^(-cx)F^(')(x) -ce^(-cx)F(x) ge0`
THUS, `e^(-cx)F(x)` is an increasing function
`therefore e^(-cx) F(x) ge e^(-c(0))F(0)`
or `e^(-cx)F(x) ge`
or `F(x) ge0` [as `f(x) ge cF(x)` and c is POSITIVE.
Also, `(dg(x))/(dx) lt g (x) AA x gt 0`
or `(d/(dx)) e^(-x)g(x) lt 0`
Thus, `e^(-x)g(x)` has ONE solution, `x=0`

` IMPLIES| BA|= sqrt((2) ^(2)+(2)^(2)+(3)^(2))=sqrt(4+4+9)=sqrt(17)`
`implies BC=PVofC-PV of B `
`=(0 hati +1 hatj + 2 hatk)-(-hati +0hatj+0hatk)=hati +hatj+2hatk`
`implies |BC|=sqrt((1)^(2) +(1)^(2)+(2)^(2))=sqrt(1+1+4)= sqrt(6)`
