Just one more request, I realize I've been a burden, sorry about that :(
When do we add +c when integrating, and when not?
NO PROBLEM, jus remember me in your prayers:)
We do not add c when limits are given, like when u r finding area or volume. if limits r not given, we add a c

9i) if OAB is a straight line then OA is a part of OB,
Therefore, by comparing the two vectors we can that OB is twice of OA
p = 2

unit vector = each vector/ magnitude of vector
= (2i+ j + k)/(2^2 +1 +1)[square root]
= (2i+ j + k)/[square root]6

ii) Remember that the dot product of perpendicular vectors is '0'
therefore, OA.AB = 0
(pi + j + k) . ( [4-p]i, j, [p-1]k) = 0
p*(4-p) + (1*1) + (1*(p-1)) = 0
5p - p^2 = 0
solve quadricatically p= 0 or 5

iii) if you can roughly draw the diagram you will realise that AB = OC
therefore c = b-a
I hope you can work that out.

[i may have made some calculation errors in ii but the methods generally correct]

And next time could you please give the link of qp please(y)

when integrating with limits we donot add c.
when integrating without limits we add c

I don't really understand the meaning of limits to be honest.
Limits mean the the values of x between which the graph stretches.
For instance if the dy/dx is given as = 3x^2, the integration of this will give us y=x^3. it is correct however dy/dx= 3x^2 can also be gotten from y=x^3+2 or =x^3+4, there are multiple answers therefore we add "+c".
I hope that makes sense.
