The number of real solution of equation `Sin(e^x) = 5^x + 5^(-x)` is :

Answer» `sin(e^x) = 5^x+5^(-x)`
`sin(e^x) :` Maximum value of `sin(e^x)` can be `1` and minimum value can be `-1`.

`5^x+5^-x = 5^x+1/5^x`
Now, `5^x` is always greater than `0` which means,
which means `5^x+1/5^x` will always be greater than or equall to `2`.
so, minimum value of `5^x+5^-x` will be `2`.
So, we can see that in given equation, maximum value of left side is `1` and minimum value of right side is `2`.
It means there is no solution possible that will satisfy the given equation.

`=>h/(CD) = (tanalpha+tantheta)/(1-tanalphatantheta)`
`=>h/40 = ((h/4)/40 +3/5)/(1-(h/4)/40(3/5)`
`=>h/40(1-h/160(3/5)) = h/160+3/5`
`=>h/8(800-3h) = 800(h/32+3)`
`=>3h^2-600h+19200 = 0`
`=>h^2-200h+6400 = 0`
`=>(h-40)(h-160) = 0`
`=>h = 40m or h = 160m`

The number of ordered pairs which satisfy the equation `x^2+2xsin(x y)+1=0`are (where `y in [0,2pi]`)1 (b)2 (c) 3(d) 0

Answer» `x^2+2xsin(xy) +1 = 0`
`=>(x+sin(xy))^2 - sin^2(xy)+1 = 0`
`=>(x+sin(xy))^2 + cos^2(xy) = 0`
`=>x+sin(xy) = 0 and cos(xy) = 0`
When, `cos(xy) = 0, sin(xy) = sqrt(1-cos^2(xy)) = +-1`
When `sin(xy) = 1`
`x+sin(xy) = 0=>x+1 = 0 => x = -1`

Find the number of pairs of integer `(x , y)`that satisfy the following two equations:`{cos(x y)=x ` and `tan(x y)=y`(a)`1` (b)` 2`(c) `4 `(d)` 6`

Answer» `cos(xy) = x and tan(xy) = y`
`=>sin(xy)/cos(xy) = y`
`=>sin(xy)/x = y`
`=>sin(xy) = xy`
Only possible value of `theta` when `sintheta = theta` is `0`.
`:. xy = 0`
`=>x = 0 or y = 0`
When `x = 0`,
`cos(0*y) = 0`
`=>cos0 = 0`, which is not possible.
`:. x = 0` is not possible.
When `y = 0`,
`cos(x*0) = x`
`=>cos0 = x`
`=>x = 1`
`:. x = 1 and y = 0` is the solution for the given equation.
`:.(1,0)` is the only pair that satisfy the given equation.

If `x, y in [0,2pi]` then find the total number of order pair `(x,y)` satisfying the equation `sinx .cos y = 1`

Answer» `sinxcosy = 1`
`=> cosy = 1/sinx`
`=> cosy = cosec x`
Now, there are only two cases when `cos theta and cosec theta ` are equal.When both of them are `1` or `-1`.
Case 1: When `cos y = cosecx = 1`
`=>cos y = 1 , cosecx =1`
`=>y = 0,2pi and x = pi/2`
So, ordered pairs in this case are `(pi/2,0) and (pi/2,2pi)`.
Case 2: When `cos y = cosecx = -1`
`=>cos y = -1 , cosecx = -1`
`=>y = pi and x = (3pi)/2`
So, ordered pair in this case is`((3pi)/2,pi)`.
So, there are `3` ordered pairs that satify the given equation.

Prove that :`sintheta/(cos(3theta)) + (sin3theta ) /(cos9theta) + (sin 9theta) /(cos27theta) =1/2( tan27theta-tantheta)`

Answer» `tan3theta - tan theta =( sin3theta)/(cos3 theta) - sin theta/cos theta`
`= (sin3thetacostheta - sinthetacos3theta)/(cos3thetacos theta)`
`=sin(3theta-theta)/(cos3thetacos theta)`
`=sin(2theta)/(cos3thetacos theta)`
`=(2sinthetacostheta)/(cos3thetacos theta) = (2sintheta)/(cos3theta)`
`:. 1/2(tan3theta - tan theta) = (sintheta)/(cos3theta)`
Similarly,
`1/2(tan9theta - tan 3theta) = (sin3theta)/(cos9theta)`
Similarly,
`1/2(tan27theta - tan 9theta) = (sin9theta)/(cos27theta)`
`:. (sintheta)/(cos3theta)+ (sin3theta)/(cos9theta) +(sin3theta)/(cos9theta) = 1/2(tan3theta - tan theta+tan9theta - tan 3theta+tan27theta - tan 9theta)`
`=> (sintheta)/(cos3theta)+ (sin3theta)/(cos9theta) +(sin3theta)/(cos9theta) = 1/2(tan27 theta - tantheta)`

Prove that `sintheta+sin3theta+sin5theta+.....+sin(2n-1)theta=(sin^2ntheta)/(sintheta)dot`

Answer» Here, we will use,
`sinalpha+sin(alpha+beta)+sin(alpha+2beta)+...+sin(alpha+(n-1)beta) = (sin((nbeta)/2))/(sin(beta/2))**sin(alpha+((n-1)beta)/2)`
Now,
`L.H.S. = sintheta+sin3theta+sin5theta+...+sin(2n-1)theta`
`=sintheta+sin(theta+2theta)+sin(theta+2*2theta)+...sin(theta+(n-1)2theta)`
`=(sin((2ntheta)/2))/(sin((2theta)/2))**sin(theta+((n-1)2theta)/2)`
`=(sin(ntheta)/(sintheta))*sin(theta+ntheta-theta)`
`=sin^2(ntheta)/sintheta = R.H.S.`

If `theta=pi/(4n)` then the value of `tanthetatan(2theta)tan(3theta)....tan((2n-1)theta)` is

Answer» Correct Answer - 1
`2n theta=pi//2`
`:. theta,(2n-1)theta=(pi//2)-theta`
`or 2theta,(2n-2)theta=(pi//2)-2theta,...`
They form complementary angles A and B so that `tanA tanB=tanAcotA=1` for each pair.
Also, `tanntheta=tan. Pi/4=1`
Hence, the value of product is 1

If A,B,C are angles of a triangle, then `2sin(A/2)cosec (B/2)sin(C/2)-sinAcot(B/2)-cosA` is(a)independent of A,B,C(b) function of A,B(c)function of C (d) none of these

Answer» `2sin(A/2)cosec(B/2)sin(C/2) - sinAcot(B/2) - cosA`
`=2sin(A/2)cosec(B/2)sin((pi-(A+B))/2) - 2sin(A/2)cos(A/2)cos(B/2)/sin(B/2) - cosA`
`=2sin(A/2)cosec(B/2)cos((A+B)/2) - 2sin(A/2)cosec(B/2)cos(A/2)cos(B/2) - cosA`
`=2sin(A/2)cosec(B/2)[cos((A+B)/2) - cos(A/2)cos(B/2)] - cosA`
`=2sin(A/2)cosec(B/2)[cos(A/2)cos(B/2)-sin(A/2)sin(B/2) - cos(A/2)cos(B/2)] - cosA`
`=-2sin^2(A/2) - cosA`
`=-(1-cosA) - cosA`
`=-1`
`:. 2sin(A/2)cosec(B/2)sin(C/2) - sinAcot(B/2) - cosA = -1`
So, it is independent of `A,B and C`.

If in a triangle ABC, `sin^4A+sin^4B+sin^4C=sin^2B sin^2C+2 sin^2C sin^2A+2sin^2A sin^2B`, show that, one of the angles of the triangle is `30^@` or `150^@`

Answer» `sin^4A+sin^4B-2sin^2Asin^2B=sin^2Bsin^2C+2sin^2Csin^2Csin^2A-sin^4c`
`(sin^2A-sin^2B)^2=sin^2c(sin^2B+2sin^2A-sin^2(A+B))`
`sin^2(A-B)sin^2C=sin^2C(sin^2B+2sin^2A-sin^2(A+B)`
`sin^2Acos^2B+sin^2Bcos^2A-2sinAcosBsinBcosA= sin^2B+2sin^2A-sin^2Acos^2b-sin^2Bcos^2A-2sinacosBsinBcosA`
`sin^2A[cos^2B+cos^2B-2]=sin^2B[1-cos^2A-cos^2A]`
`2sin^2A[cos^2B-1]=sin^2B[1-2cos^2A]`
`-2sin^2A=1-2cos^2A`
`2(cos^2A-sin2A)=1`
`2A=pi/3,5pi/3`
`A=pi/6,5/6pi`
`A=30^0,150^0`.

In triangle `A B C ,`if `cosA+cosB+cosC=7/4, t h e n R/r`is equal to`3/4`(b) `4/3`(c) `2/3`(d) `3/2`

Answer» Here, we will use,
`cosA+cosB+cosC = 1+4sin(A/2)sin(B/2)sin(C/2)`
`cosA+cosB+cosC = 7/4`
`:. 1+4sin(A/2)sin(B/2)sin(C/2) = 7/4`
`=> 4sin(A/2)sin(B/2)sin(C/2) = 7/4-1`
`=> 4sin(A/2)sin(B/2)sin(C/2) = 3/4->(1)`
Now, `r = 4Rsin(A/2)sin(B/2)sin(C/2)`
`:. r/R = 4sin(A/2)sin(B/2)sin(C/2)->(2)`
From (1) and (2),
`r/R = 3/4`
`:. R/r = 4/3.`

Find the range of `f(x)=sin(cosx).`

Answer» Correct Answer - `[-sin1, sin 1]`
`f(x)=sin(cosx)`
For `AA x in R, theta=cosx in [-1,1]`
Since `sintheta`is increasing from `-pi//2" to"pi//2`, the maximum value occurs at `thet=1` and the minimum value occurs at ` theta=-1`. Hence, rangs is `[-sin1, sin1]`.

Find the range of `12sintheta-9sin^2theta`

Answer» Correct Answer - [-21, 4]
`f(x)=12sintheta-9sin^2theta`
`=-(9sin^2theta-12sintheta)`
`=-(9sin^2theta-12sintheta+4-4)`
`=-((3sintheta-2)^2-4)=4-(3sintheta-2)^2`
Minimum value of `f(theta)` occurs when `(3sintheta-2)^2` is minimum, which is 0.
Hence, range of `f(theta)` is `[4-25,4]-=[-21,4]`.
