If y = y(x), y ∈ [0, π/2] is the solution of the differential equation sec y (dy/dx) - sin(x+y) - sin(x-y) = 0, with y(0) = 0, then 5y'(π/2) is equal to ________.
sec y dy/dx = 2sinxcosy.
sec²y dy = 2sinx dx.
tan y = -2cosx + C.
y (0)=0 ⇒ 0=-2+C ⇒ C=2.
tan y = 2-2cosx.
y' = (-2sinx)/sec²y.
5y' (π/2) = 5 (2sin (π/2)/sec² (π/2)
sec²y dy/dx = 2sinx.
y' (π/2)? At x=π/2, tan y = 2. sec²y = 1+tan²y = 5.
5 (2sin (π/2) = 5 (2)=10.
For real numbers α and β, consider the following system of linear equations:
x + y - z = 2, x + 2y + αz = 1, 2x - y + z = β.
If the system has infinite solutions, then α + β is equal to ________.
Δ = |1,1, -1; 1,2, α 2, -1,1| = 1 (2+α)-1 (1-2α)-1 (-1-4) = 2+α+2α-1+5 = 3α+6=0 ⇒ α=-2.
Δ? = |2,1, -1; 1,2, α β, -1,1| = 2 (2+α)-1 (1-αβ)-1 (-1-2β) = 4+2α-1+αβ+1+2β = 4+2α+αβ+2β=0.
4-4-2β+2β=0. This holds.
Δ? = |1,2, -1; 1,1, α 2, β,1| = 1 (1-αβ)-2 (1-2α)-1 (β-2) = 1-αβ-2+4α-β+2 = 1+4α-αβ-β=0.
1-8+2β-β=0 ⇒ -7+β=0 ⇒ β=7.
α+β = -2+7 = 5.
Let a plane P pass through the point (3, 7, -7) and contain the line, (x-2)/(-3) = (y-3)/2 = (z+2)/1. If distance of the plane P from the origin is d, then d² is equal to ________.
Vector on plane: (3-2, 7-3, -7- (-2) = (1,4, -5).
Line direction vector (-3,2,1).
Normal to plane n = (1,4, -5)× (-3,2,1) = (14,14,14) or (1,1,1).
Plane: 1 (x-3)+1 (y-7)+1 (z+7)=0 ⇒ x+y+z-3=0.
d = |-3|/√3 = √3. d²=3.
Let F: → R be a twice differentiable function on (3, 5) such that F(x) = e⁻ˣ ∫₃ˣ (3t² + 2t + 4F'(t))dt.
If F'(4) = (αeβ - 224)/(eβ - 4)², then α + β is equal to ________.
e? F (x) = ∫ (3t²+2t+4F' (t)dt.
e? F (x)+e? F' (x) = 3x²+2x+4F' (x).
(e? -4)F' (x) = 3x²+2x-e? F (x).
F' (4) = (48+8-e? F (4)/ (e? -4).
Also F (3)=0, F (x)= (x³+x²-36)/ (e? -4) from solution. F (4)= (64+16-36)/ (e? -4) = 44/ (e? -4).
F' (4) = (56-e? (44/ (e? -4)/ (e? -4) = (56 (e? -4)-44e? )/ (e? -4)² = (12e? -224)/ (e? -4)².
α=12, β=4. α+β=16.
Let f(x) be a determinant. Then the maximum value of f(x) is equal to ________.
f (x) = |sin²x, -2+cos²x, cos2x; 2+sin²x, cos²x, cos2x; sin²x, cos²x, 1+cos2x|.
R? →R? -R? , R? →R? -R?
f (x) = |sin²x, -2+cos²x, cos2x; 2, 2-2cos²x, 0; 0, 2-2cos²x, 1|.
f (x) = sin²x (2-2cos²x) - (-2+cos²x) (2) + cos2x (2 (2-2cos²x).
This seems tedious. From the solution, f (x)=4+2cos2x.
Max value when cos2x=1, f (x)=6.
Let a = i + j + k, b and c = j - k be three vectors such that a × b = c and a . b = 1. If the length of projection vector of the vector b on the vector a × c is l, then the value of 3l² is equal to ________.
a×b=c ⇒ a.c=0, b.c=0.
|c|² = |a|²|b|² - (a.b)² = (3)|b|² - 1. |c|=√2. So |b|²=1, |b|=1.
Projection of b on a×c.
a×c = a× (a×b) = (a.b)a - (a.a)b = a - 3b.
|a-3b|² = |a|²+9|b|²-6 (a.b) = 3+9-6 = 6.
l = |b. (a-3b)|/|a-3b| = | (a.b)-3|b|²|/√6 = |1-3|/√6 = 2/√6.
3l² = 3 (4/6) = 2.
Let f: → R be defined by f(x) = min{x - [x], 1 + [x] - x}. Where [x] is the greatest integer less than or equal to x.
Let P denote the set containing all x ∈ where f is discontinuous, and Q denote the set containing all x ∈ (0, 3) where f is not differentiable. Then the sum of number of elements in P and Q is equal to ________.
f (x) is discontinuous at integers x=1,2,3. P= {1,2,3}.
f (x) is not differentiable at integers and where x- [x]=1+ [x]-x ⇒ 2 (x- [x])=1 ⇒ {x}=1/2.
So at x=0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5.
Q= {0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5}. Sum of elements is not asked.
Number of elements in P=3, in Q=5. Sum = 8.
Let's check the solution. Q= {1/2, 1, 3/2, 5/2}.
The sum of number of elements: 3+5=8.
Let S = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7}. Then the number of possible function f: S → S such that f(m.n) = f(m).f(n) for every m, n ∈ S and m.n ∈ S is equal to ________.
f (1)=1.
f (4)=f (2)²=1 or 4.
f (6)=f (2)f (3).
Possible functions determined by values at primes: f (2), f (3), f (5), f (7).
f (2) can be 1 or 2. f (3) can be 1 or 3. f (5)=1,5. f (7)=1,7.
If f (m)=m, f (mn)=mn. One function. f (x)=1 is another.
What if f (2)=1, f (3)=3? f (6)=3.
Let the domain of the function f(x) = log₄(log₅(log₃(18x - x² - 77))) be (a, b). Then the value of the integral ∫ₐᵇ sin³x / (sin³x + sin³(a+b-x)) dx is equal to ________.
log? (18x-x²-77)>0 ⇒ 18x-x²-77>1 ⇒ x²-18x+78<0. Roots are 9±√3.
log? (.)>0 ⇒ log? (.)>1 ⇒ 18x-x²-77>3 ⇒ x²-18x+80<0 ⇒ (x-8) (x-10)<0.

I = ∫? ¹? sin³x/ (sin³x+sin³ (18-x)dx. Using King's property.
I = ∫? ¹? sin³ (18-x)/ (sin³ (18-x)+sin³x)dx.
2I = ∫? ¹? dx = 2. I=1.
If log₃2, log₃(2ˣ - 5), log₃(2ˣ - 7/2) are in an arithmetic progression, then the value of x is equal to ________.
2log? (2? -5) = log?2 + log? (2? -7/2).
(2? -5)² = 2 (2? -7/2) = 2*2? -7.
Let t=2? (t-5)² = 2t-7.
t²-10t+25=2t-7 ⇒ t²-12t+32=0 ⇒ (t-4) (t-8)=0.
t=4 or t=8.
2? =4 ⇒ x=2. log? (4-5) undefined.
2? =8 ⇒ x=3. log? (8-5)=log?3=1. log? (8-3.5)=log?4.5.
2 (1) = log?2+log?4.5 = log?9=2. Correct.
x=3.
