Given,

A (2,3,4), B (-1, -2,1), C (5,8,7)

Direction ratio of AB= $\begin{array}{l}\left(-1-2\right),\left(-2-3\right),\left(1-4\right)\\ =\left(3,-5,-3\right)\end{array}$

Where, a₁=3, b₁=-5, c₁=-3

Direction ratio of BC= $\begin{array}{l}\left(5-\left(-1\right)\right),\left(8-\left(-2\right)\right),\left(7-1\right)\\ =\left(6,10,6\right)\end{array}$

Where, a₂=6, b₂=10, c₂=6

Now,

$\begin{array}{l}\frac{a_2}{a_1}=\frac{6}{-3}=-2\\ \frac{b_2}{b_1}=\frac{10}{-5}=-2\\ \frac{c_2}{c_1}=\frac{6}{-3}=-2\end{array}$

Here, direction ratio of two-line segments are proportional.

So, A, B, C are collinear.

16. Kindly go through the solution

Direction cosine are 

$\begin{array}{l}\frac{-18}{},\frac{+12}{},\frac{-4}{}\\ =\frac{-18}{22},\frac{12}{22},\frac{-4}{22}\\ =\frac{-9}{11},\frac{6}{11},\frac{-2}{11}\end{array}$

26. Given f (x) = $\{\begin{array}{ll}k{x}^2\hfill & if x\le 2.\hfill \\ 3\hfill & if x>2.\hfill \end{array}$

For continuous at x = 2,

f (2) = k (2)2 = 4x.

L.H.L. = $\underset{x\to 2^{-}}{lim}f(x)=\underset{x\to 2^{-}}{lim}{x}^2=4x$

R.H.L. = $\underset{x\to 2^{+}}{lim}f(x)=\underset{x\to 2^{+}}{lim}3=3$

Then, L.H.L = R.H.L. = f (2)

i e, 4x = 3

$\Rightarrow x=\frac{3}{4}.$

Let the angles be α, β, r which are equal  

Let the direction cosines of the line be l, m, n.

$\begin{array}{l}l=cos\alpha ,m=cos\beta ,n=cosr\\ \alpha =\beta =r\\ l^2+m^2+n^2=1\\ co{s}^2\alpha +co{s}^2\beta +co{s}^{2}r=1\\ co{s}^2\alpha +co{s}^2\alpha +co{s}^2\alpha =1\\ 3co{s}^2\alpha =1\\ co{s}^2\alpha =\frac{1}{3}\\ cos\alpha =\frac{1}{}\end{array}$

Let the direction cosine of the line be l, m, n.

Then,

$\begin{array}{l}l=90^{?}=cos90^{?}=0\\ m=cos135=\frac{-1}{}\\ n=cos45^{?}=\frac{1}{}\end{array}$

 25. Given, f(x) = $\{\begin{array}{cc}\hfill \frac{\pi cosx}{\pi -2x}\hfill & \hfill if x\ne \raisebox{1ex}{$\pi $}\!\left/ \!\raisebox{-1ex}{$2$}\right.\hfill \\ \hfill 3\hfill & \hfill if x=\raisebox{1ex}{$\pi $}\!\left/ \!\raisebox{-1ex}{$2$}\right.\hfill \end{array}$

For continuity at $x=\raisebox{1ex}{$\pi $}\!\left/ \!\raisebox{-1ex}{$2$}\right.$

$\underset{x\to \raisebox{1ex}{${\pi }^{-}$}\!\left/ \!\raisebox{-1ex}{$2$}\right.}{lim}f(x)=\underset{x\to \raisebox{1ex}{$\pi $}\!\left/ \!\raisebox{-1ex}{$2$}\right.}{lim}f(x)=f\left(\raisebox{1ex}{$\pi $}\!\left/ \!\raisebox{-1ex}{$2$}\right.\right).$

$\underset{x\to \raisebox{1ex}{$\pi $}\!\left/ \!\raisebox{-1ex}{$2$}\right.}{lim}\frac{xcosx}{\pi -2x}=\underset{x\to \raisebox{1ex}{$\pi $}\!\left/ \!\raisebox{-1ex}{$2^{+}$}\right.}{lim}\frac{xcosx}{\pi -2x}=3.$

Take $\underset{x\to \raisebox{1ex}{$\pi $}\!\left/ \!\raisebox{-1ex}{$2$}\right.}{lim}\frac{xcosx}{x-2x}=3$ .

Putting x = $\frac{\pi }{2}+h$ such that as $x\to \raisebox{1ex}{$\pi $}\!\left/ \!\raisebox{-1ex}{$2$}\right.,h\to 0.$

So $\underset{h\to 0}{lim}\frac{xcos(\raisebox{1ex}{$\pi $}\!\left/ \!\raisebox{-1ex}{$2$}\right.+h)}{x-2(\raisebox{1ex}{$\pi $}\!\left/ \!\raisebox{-1ex}{$2$}\right.+n)}=\underset{h\to 0}{lim}\frac{x(-sinx)}{-2h}$

$=\underset{h\to 0}{lim}\frac{xsinh}{2h}$

$=\frac{k}{2}\underset{h\to 0}{lim}\frac{sinh}{h}=\frac{k}{2}.$

i e, $\frac{k}{2}=3$

$\Rightarrow$ k = 6

Similarly from $\underset{x\to \raisebox{1ex}{${\pi }^{+}$}\!\left/ \!\raisebox{-1ex}{$2$}\right.}{lim}\frac{xcosx}{\pi -2x}=3$

$\Rightarrow \underset{h\to 0}{lim}\frac{hcos\left(\frac{\pi }{2}+h\right)}{\pi -2\left(\frac{\pi }{2}+h\right)}=\underset{h\to 0}{lim}\frac{-hsinh}{-2h}$

$=\frac{}{2}\underset{h\to 0}{lim}\frac{sinh}{h}$

$=\frac{x}{2}$

So, $\frac{x}{2}=3$

$\Rightarrow$ k = 6

24. Given, f(x) = $\{\begin{array}{cc}\hfill sinx-cosx,\hfill & \hfill if x\ne 0\hfill \\ \hfill -1,\hfill & \hfill if x=0.\hfill \end{array}$

For x = c $\cancel{=}$ 0,

f(c) = sin c cos c.

$\underset{x\to c}{lim}$ f (x) = $\underset{x\to c}{lim}$ (sin x cos x) = sin c cos c = f(c)

So, f is continuous at $x\ne 0$

For x = 0,

f(0) = 1

$\underset{x\to 0}{lim}$ f (x) = $\underset{x\to 0}{lim}$ (sin x cos x) = sin 0 cos 0 = 0 1 = 1

$\underset{x\to 0^{+}}{lim}f(x)=\underset{x\to 0^{+}}{lim}(sinx-corx)=sin0-cos0=-1.$

∴ $\underset{x\to 0-}{lim}$ f(x) = $\underset{x\to 0+}{lim}$ f (x) = f (0)

So, f is continuous at x = 0.

Find the values of $k$ so that the function $f$ is continuous at the indicated point in Exercises 26 to 29.
