    Mathematics: Post your doubts here!

    You're welcome. Here's Q5: Q5(i): [√(1 + x) +√(1 − x)][√(1 + x) −√(1 − x)] (1 + x) + (1-x)(1+x) - (1-x)(1+x) - (1 - x) (1 + x) - (1 - x) 2x [√(1 + x) +√(1 − x)][√(1 + x) −√(1 − x)] = 2x [√(1 + x) +√(1 − x)] = 2x / [√(1 + x) −√(1 − x)] 1 / [√(1 + x) +√(1 − x)] 1 / { 2x / [√(1 +...

    You're welcome. As far as the other question is concerned, this's how it'll be done: f : x → 3x + a ff(2)=10 y = 3x + a 3 (3x + a) + a = 10 9x + 3a + a = 10 9x + 4a = 10 9(2) + 4a = 10 a = -2 g : x → b − 2x g−1(2) = 3 y = b - 2x 2x = b - y x = (b - y)/2 g−1 = (b - x)/2 y = (b -...

    Q3(i): y=6e^x - e^3x (dy/dx) = 6e^x - 3e^2x 0 = 3e^x ( 2 - e^2x ) 0 = 2 - e^2x e^2x = 2 ln e^2x = ln 2 2x = ln 2 x= 0.35 Q3(ii): (dy/dx) = 6e^x - 3e^2x (d^2y/dx^2) = 6e^x - 9e^3x Substitute the value of 'x=0/35' in the above equation which we've double differentiated. If the answer is...

    You don't have to set both the equations equal to each other. You'll rearrange the equation of the line so as it'll become an expression for 'x' in terms of 'y'. 2y + x = k x = k - 2y Replace 'x' with 'x = k - 2y' in the curve equation. y^2 + 2x = 13 y^2 + 2 (k - 2y) = 13 y^2 + 2k - 4y -...

    Solution: sin 2Ө (dx/dӨ) = (x+1) cos 2Ө [1/(x+1)] dx = [(cos 2Ө)/(sin 2Ө)] dӨ Integrating both the sides. [1/(x+1)] dx = [(cos 2Ө)/(sin 2Ө)] dӨ ln (x+1) = (1/2) ln (sin 2Ө) + c Put x=0 and Ө=(π/12) to find the value of the constant 'c'. ln (x+1) = (1/2) ln (sin 2Ө) + c ln 1 = (1/2) ln...

    Multiply the complex number '2/(-1+ i)' by the conjugate of '-1+ i' to obtain '-1 - i'. Next, find its argument using the formula 'tan x = b/a', tan x = b/a tan x = -1/-1 x = 0.785 'Tan' is positive in the third quadrant therefore we'll add this value of 'x' to that of 'π' to obtain a final...

    This is the answer to a question asked by smzimran (November 2006, P3, Q9iv). First of all, we would've already constructed a circle of radius '1 unit' with centre at (1,1) as we were told to do so in the third part of this question. Coming back to the fourth part, we have to find the least...

    R=√10 a= 71.56 (√10) cos (2x - 71.57) = 2 The range in which we've to find the angle is 0<Θ<90 but we'll be needing to modify it. 0<Θ<90 multiply it by '2'. 0<2Θ<180 Subtract 71.56 from both the limits. -71.56<2Θ<108.44 So according to this range, we'll be needing to find the...

    The points will be different but the overall answer will be correct. (2, 0 ,-1) is just one point, it is a line so there'll be many points on it. For e.g; if you take z=0, the point you'll get is (14/5, -7/5, 0) and this is correct too.

    This is how we'll do this question: 1/(z+2-i) We are given that ' z = 2 cos θ + i ( 1 - 2 sin θ )' so we'll put in this value of 'z' in the above equation. 1/(z+2-i) 1/[2 cos θ + i ( 1 - 2 sin θ )+2-i] Arrange the real numbers and the imaginary numbers. 1/[(2 cos θ + 2) + i ( 1 - 2 sin...
