16/[(2+x)^2]



16*[ (2+x)^ -2]

16*[2^ -2 (1+1/2x)^-2]

4*[(1+1/2x)^-2]

now abbpy binomial theoram on the curly brackets

4*[1 +nx + n(n-1)x^2/2!.............]

4*[1 + (-2)(1/2x) + {(-2)(-2-1)(1/2x)^2}/2!].


4*[1 - x + 3/4 x^2]


4 - 4x + 3x^2 Ans



hope it is clear???

m/j 2011 qstn 2

lg2(x+5) = 5 - lg2(x)

lg2(x+5) + lg2(x) = 5

taking lg2 as comman.

lg2{(x+5)*x} = 5

now as L.H.S is with lg base 2 so we have to convert the other side with base 2 as well.

look here....... lg22^5 = 5*lg22 = 5 (as lg22 is always 1 )

means lg22^5 = 5*lg22 = 5 = lg232

put this in the eq.



lg2{(x+5)*x} = lg232

now remove logarithim from both sides u will get
x^2 + 5x = 32 shown Ans

ln ((x + 2) / x) = 2
(x + 2) / x = e^2
x+2= (e^2)*x
((e^2)*x)-x=2
x((e^2)-1) = 2
x = 2/ ((e^2)-1)
= 0.313

i think that is the only mistake. Rest is right. Thank u smzimran.
Yes, i did a little mistake, copied 2 in the denominator instead of x, rest is right!
minato112 has done the correct method, check it out!
