Given r x a = b x r, which means r x a + r x b = 0, so r x (a+b) = 0.
This implies r is parallel to (a+b). So, r = λ (a+b).
a = I + 2j - 3k, b = 2i - 3j + 5k
a+b = 3i - j + 2k.
r = λ (3i - j + 2k).
Given r ⋅ (αi + 2j + k) = 3. The OCR is unclear, but the equation appears to be r ⋅ (αi + 2j + k) = 3. The solution works with r ⋅ (αi + 2j + k) = 3, but theOCR says r. (ai+2j+k). Let's assume it's α.
λ (3i - j + 2k) ⋅ (αi + 2j + k) = 3
λ (3α - 2 + 2) = 3 => λα = 1.
Given r ⋅ (2i + 5j - αk) = -1.
λ (3i - j + 2k) ⋅ (2i + 5j - αk) = -1
λ (6 - 5 - 2α) = -1 => λ (1 - 2α) = -1.
From λα = 1, α = 1/λ.
λ (1 - 2/λ) = -1 => λ

f (x) = (4a - 3) (x + ln5) + 2 (a - 7)cot (x/2)sin² (x/2)
= (4a - 3) (x + ln5) + (a - 7)sin (x)
f' (x) = (4a - 3) + (a - 7)cos (x)
For critical points f' (x) = 0
cos (x) = - (4a - 3) / (a - 7) = (3 - 4a) / (a - 7)
⇒ -1 ≤ (3 - 4a) / (a - 7) ≤ 1
Solving this inequality leads to:
⇒ a ∈ [4/3, 2]

(|x| - 3)|x + 4| = 6

(-x - 3) (- (x + 4) = 6
(x + 3) (x + 4) = 6 ⇒ x² + 7x + 12 = 6 ⇒ x² + 7x + 6 = 0
(x + 1) (x + 6) = 0 ⇒ x = -6 (since x < -4)
Case (ii) -4 ≤ x < 0
(-x - 3) (x + 4) = 6
⇒ -x² - 7x - 12 = 6
⇒ x² + 7x + 18 = 0
The discriminant is D = 7² - 4 (1) (18) = 49 - 72 < 0, so no real solution.
Case (iii) x ≥ 0
(x - 3) (x + 4) = 6
⇒ x² + x - 12 = 6
⇒ x² + x - 18 = 0
x = [-1 ± √ (1² - 4 (1) (-18)] / 2 = [-1 ± √73] / 2
Since x ≥ 0 ⇒ x = (√73 - 1) / 2
Only two solutions.

Variance of a, b, c & a+2, b+2, c+2, are same.
Given: b = a + c (i)
d² = (1/3) (a² + b² + c²) - [ (a+b+c)/3]²
as a + c = b
d² = (1/3) (a² + b² + c²) - (2b/3)²
9d² = 3 (a² + b² + c²) - 4b²
⇒ b² = 3 (a² + c²) - 9d²

log? /? [ (|z|+11)/ (|z|-1)²] < 2
(|z|+11)/ (|z|-1)² > (1/2)²
(|z|+11)/ (|z|-1)² > 1/4
⇒ 4|z| + 44 > |z|² - 2|z| + 1
⇒ |z|² - 6|z| - 43 < 0
⇒ |z| - 7 ≤ 0
∴ |z|max = 7

P (x) = x² + bx + c.
Given ∫? ¹ P (x) dx = 1.
∫? ¹ (x² + bx + c) dx = [x³/3 + bx²/2 + cx] from 0 to 1 = 1/3 + b/2 + c = 1.
2 + 3b + 6c = 6 => 3b + 6c = 4 - (i)
When P (x) is divided by (x-2), the remainder is 5. So, P (2) = 5.
(2)² + b (2) + c = 5 => 4 + 2b + c = 5 => 2b + c = 1 - (ii)
From (ii), c = 1 - 2b. Substitute into (i):
3b + 6 (1 - 2b) = 4
3b + 6 - 12b = 4
-9b = -2 => b = 2/9.
c = 1 - 2 (2/9) = 1 - 4/9 = 5/9.
We need to find 9 (b+c).
9 (2/9 + 5/9) = 9 (7/9) = 7.
