Question 1
Let f and g be defined by f(x) = |x|, xÎ R, and g(x) = x, xÎ R. Find f + g, f - g, fg and f/g.
Ans.
( f + g )( x )
= 2x x ³ 0
  0 x < 0
       
( f - g )( x ) = 0 x ³ 0
  -2x x < 0
       
(fg)(x) = x2 x ³ 0
  -x2 x < 0
       
(f/g)(x) = 1 x > 0
  -1 x < 0
f/g is not defined at x = 0.
Question 2
Find the inverse of the function
F(x) = x + 1, x ¹ 1
             x - 1
Ans.
Let us see whether the given function is invertable
Let               x1 , x2 ¹ 1                      x1 ¹ x2
Then             x1 + 1                    ¹           x2 + 1
And               x1 - 1                  ¹           x2 - 1
\                 x1 + 1              ¹            x2 + 1
                   x1 - 1                ¹            x2 - 1
Þ                f(x1)                  ¹              f(x2)
\                 f is invertable function
Now y = x + 1 or xy - y = x + 1/X - 1

Or x(y - 1) = y + 1 or X = y +1/y - 1

we are given f = {(x,y) : y = x + 1/x - 1}

\            f-1 = {(y,x) : y ¹ 1 , x = y +1/y - 1 }
Question 3
Find fof-1 and f -1of   the function
F(x) = 1/x , x ¹ 0.
Also prove that fof-1 = f-1of
Ans.
            f(x) = 1/x
\          f-1 = { ( 1/x = y,x)}
                 = { (y, 1/y) }
\          f-1 (x) = 1/x
\          fof -1 (x) = f(1/x)     =   1     = x
                                                       1/x
Also       f -1of (x) = f-1 (1/x)   =   1   =  x.
                                                           1/x
\          fof -1 (x)  = f -1 of (x)
Hence f -1 of = f -1 of
Question 4
Evaluate lim     2x2 + 3x
                x®¥          x2 +1
Ans.
Put x = 1/y, so that when x®¥, y®0.
\   lim      2x2 + 3x        = lim       2/y2 + 3/y
    x®¥       x2 +1             y®0        1/y2 +1
                                   = lim       2 + 3y      = 2 + 0    = 2.
                                     y®0      1 +y2          1 + 0
Question 5
The profit function of a manufacturing firm is given by P(x) = -x3/3 + 729x - 2500. Find x so that the firm attains maximum profit, where x is the number of items manufactured.
Ans.
The profit function is
     P(x) = -x3/3 + 729x - 2500
     P1(x) = -x2 + 729; where p 1 is the d(p(x))/dx
\  P1 (x) = 0 give us -x2 + 729 = 0
or x = 27.
[ -27 is rejected as x is number of items]
Now P11 (x) = -2x
Which is -ve at x = 27
\    P(x) attain the maximum value at x = 27
\    Number of items (x) manufactured by firm = 27.
Question 6

          _______________________  
If y = Öcosx + Ö cosx +Ö cosx+ ?..¥ then prove that (2y -1) dy/dx + sinx = 0.
Ans.
we are given that
           _______________________
    y = Öcosx + Ö cosx +Ö cosx+ ?..¥
           _______
       = Öcosx + y
    or y2 = cosx + y
Differentiating both sides w.r.t. x1 we get
     2y dy            = -sinx + dy
         dx                               dx
or 2y dy - dy sinx = 0
        dx   dx
\  (2y - 1) dy/dx + sinx = 0.
Question 7
Show that x/sinx is an increasing function in the intercal 0< x < p/2.
Ans.
Let           f(x) = x/sinx
Then         f1(x) = sinx - xcosx
                              sin2x
Now   sin2x   >0 for     0< x < p/2
                   [ In fact sin2 x> 0 < " x]
we know that
                   tanx > x for 0 < x < p/2
\           sinx > x  for 0 < x < p/2
             cos
\      sinx - x cosx > 0 for 0 < x < p/2
\      f1(x) = sinx - x cosx   > 0 for 0 < x < p/2
                      sin2x
\     f (x) is increasing in the interval { 0, p/2}
Question 8
Find the deviative of cot( 2x +1) w.r.t. x using the first principles.
Ans.
     Let y = cot [ 2 x +1]
\        y +dy = cot {2(x + dx) + 1 }
          or dy = cot {2 (x +dx) +1} - cot (2x +1)
          = cos (2x+1+ 2dx )    -     cos(2x+1)
             sin (2x+1+2dx)             sin (2x+1)

          =  cos (2x+1+2ds) sin (2x+1) - sin(2x+1+2dx) cos (2x+1)
                            sin (2x+1+2fx)   sin ( 2x+1 )
         =  sin (2x +1 - 2x -1 -2dx)
           sin(2x +1 +2dx) sin(2x+1)
\                    dy         =                 -sin (2dx)             
         sx                 sin(2x+1 + 2fx) sin(2x +1)dx
\ lim                                     dy   =     lim   -sin(2dx)     =                   lim-1         
dx ®0                                     dx        dx ®0    sin(2x+1+2dx)       sin(2x+1)dx
\    dy           =           -1                 x 1        x    2
       dx              sin(2x+1) sin(2x +1)
                   =          -2      
                         sin2 (2x +1)
= -2 cosec2 (2x +1)
Question 9
                                                                                                      ____
Use Lagrauge's mean value theorm to determine a point P on the curve y = Ö x - 2 defined in the interval [2,3] where the tangent is parallel to the chord joining the end points on the curve.
Unit - 2 (Integral Calculus)
Ans.           _____
Here f(x) = Ö x - 2
        _____
Now Ö x - 2 is defined for all values of x ³ 2
\     f(x) is defined in the interval [2,3]
again       f1(x)       =       1     
                                 2Ö x - 2
     1         is defined for all values of x > 2.
2Ö x - 2
\ f(x) is derivable in the interval ]2,3[.
Thus both the conditions of LMV therom are satisfied.
\ by LMV theorem there must exists at least one C in the interval ]2,3[ at which the tangent is parallel to the chord joining the end points on the curve, such that.
F1 ( C )         =      f(3) - f(2)
                               3 - 2
or      1              =                   Ö3 -2    -     Ö2 - 2
     2Ö c - 2                          1
\            1            =            1
          2Ö c - 2
or       2Ö c - 2        =             1
\       4(c - 2)        =              1
or         c - 2         =             ¼
\          c = ¼ + 2 = 9/4 E ]2,3[
\ Now f (9/4) = Ö9/4 - 2 = Ö¼ = ½
Hence the tangent is parallel to the chord at the point (9/4, ½).
Question 10
Evaluate : ò14 |x - 2| dx
Ans.
          ½x - 2½ = x - 2 if x ³ 2.
And ½x - 2½ = -x - 2 if x < 2.
\      ò14½x - 2½dx     = ò12 - (x - 2) dx + ò24 (x - 2) dx

= ( -x2/2 + 2x)12 + (x2/2 + 2x)24
= [ (-4/2 + 4 ) - ( -1/2 + 2)] + [(16/2 -8) (4/2 -4)

Question 12
Evaluate
            ______

Ans.
          Let x 3/2 = t. then 3/2 Öx dx = dt
\                             Öx dx = 2/3 dt
\                  I = òÖ x a3 - x3 dx     =        ò Ö2/3 dt/Öa3 - t2
                                                   = 2/3 ò dt/ Ö( a 3/2) 2 - t2

                   = 2/3 - sin-1 t/a3/2 + c {\         ò dx/Öa2-x2 = sin-1 x/a = c}

= 2/3 sin -1 (x/a)3/2 + c.

Question 13
Evaluate ò-11 ex dx as the limit of a sum.
Ans.
Let f (x)         =         ex . Let nh = 1- ( -1) =   2.

        ò -11 exdx =   lim h [ f (-1)+f(-1+h) +f(-1+2h)+ ------+f(-1+n-1h) ]
                   h ® o
              =  lim h[ e-1+e-1+h+e-1+2 h+-------+e-1+(n-1)h ]
                 h ® o
              =  lim h [e-1{ 1+eh+e2h+---------+e +(n+)h } ]
                 h ®o
             = lim h     [e-1{ 1-enh/1-eh } ]
                h ® o
             = lim        h/1-eh .    lim e-1 ( 1-enh)
                h ® o                    h ®o
             = (-1)              [ e-1(1-e2)]
               lim eh-1/h
               h ® o
            = e-1(e2 -1)}e2
                    1
             = e-1
                  e

\ A = ò y dx y = x2
\ Requried area A
= area OSPQ - area ORPQ
= ò01 Öx dx - ò01 x2 dx
=[2/3 x 3/2]01 - [x3/3]01
= 2/3 - 1/3 = 1/3 sq units.

    Let                   I = ò 0 p/4 log(1 + tanq) dQ  
                             = ò0 p/4 log [ 1 + tan(p/4 -Q) dQ
                                 [\       ò0a f(x) dx = ò0a f ( a - x) dx]
                            = ò0 p/4 log [1 - tanQ/1 + tanQ] dQ
                            = ò0 p/4 log [ 2/1 + tanQ ] dQ
                            = ò0 p/4 logdQ  - ò0 0 p/4 log [1 - tanQ] dQ

             \         I          = log 2 [0] 0 p/4 - I
or            2 I         = log 2 [ 0 p/4]
or              I         =          p/8 log 2.

Question 16

                                                                    ò     x2 + 1/x4 + 1 =dx
                   = ò(1+1/x2)/(x2 + 1/x2) dx
                   = ò    1 + 1/x2                dx
                       x2 + 1/ x2 - 2 +2
Let               x - 1/x       =      z, so that ( 1+1/x2) dx = dz
                                                 òx2 + 1/x4 + 1   dx   =     ò  dz/ z2 + 2 =  ò         dz            / z2+(Ö2)2
                  = (1/Ö2)( tan-1    z/Ö2 )+ c [\ ò 1/x2 + a2 dx = 1/a tan -1 x/a]
                  = 1/Ö2 tan-1      x - 1/x/Ö2 + c
                  = 1/Ö2 tan-1      x2 - 1/Ö2x + c

Question 17
Evaluate :

Ans.
Let                   x4                             º                  x4         
                     x4 - 1                              (x-1)(x+1)(x2+1)
                    = 1 +    A    +    B        +       (x + D) ?..(1)
                              x-1       x+1               x+1
Multiplying by x4 - 1   we get
                                          º
  (x4 - 1) + A (x+1) (x2+1) +B (x - 1) (x2 +1)
                   + (x + D) (x + 1) ( x - 1 ) ?. (2)
Putting x = 1, -1 in (II) , we get
1= A (2) (2) And 1 = B(-2)(2)
or A = ¼ and B = -1/4
Equating ¥ efficients of x3 in (2) , we get
A + B +C = 0
But a = ¼ and b = -1/4
\ c = 0
Puuting x = 0 in (2) , we get
0 = -1 + A -B - D
or D = -1 +A -B
= -1 + ¼ + ¼ = -1/2
\from (1)
         x4             =              1           +           1          -       1     -       1 .
       x4 -1                                                 4(x-1)          4(x+1)       2(x2+1)
       x4/x4 -1     dx          =              1           +           1/4(x-1)         -    1/4/x+1      -     1/2(x2+1).dx 
= x + ¼ log (x -1 ) -1/4 log (x + 1) -1/2 tan-1 x + c
= x + ¼ log x - 1 -1/2 tan -1 x + c
                 x+1

Question 18

Ans.
Requried area = shaded area on the figure
= Area (OPR) - area (DPQR)
                 = ò p/4 tanx dx - DPQR ??..(1)
To find DPQR, we proceed as follows :
Now Point P is ( p/4 , 1) Y

\ y = tan x
\ dx/dy = sec2x
\Slope of tangent at P = sec2p/4 = 2
i.e., tanQ = 2
\ QR = PR cot Q
= 1 x ½ = ½
\ Area of DPQR = ½ x ½ x 1 = ¼ sq.unit. q R
\ from (1)
Required area = (log sec x )p/4 - ¼
= log 02 - ¼
=[1/2 log2 - ¼ ] sr.units.

        = òo p/4               cosx + sinx                 dx
                       9+16 { 1-(sinx - cosx)2}
Let     sinx - cosx = t ,                then ( cosx +sinx) dx = dt
When        x = 0, t = -1 and when    x = p/4, t = 0
\            I   =    ò-1o          dt        
                              9 + 16 ( 1 - t2)
                  = ò-1o             dt

                  = ò-1o              dt     
                                    52 - (4t)(4E)2
                  = 1/2x5 x ¼ log [ 5 + 4t/5 - 4t]o-1

                  = 1/40 [log1 - log(1/9)]
                  = 1/40 (log9) = 1/40 log 32
                  = 1/20 log3.

\ K-2 = 7 Þ 6K + 9 = 0 Þ 2K + 3 = 0.
    k+1
\ K = -3/2
This value of k = -3/2 satisties the other two equations.

2x + 3y - 4z - 10 = 0. Is
x + 1 = y + 1 = Z - 3 = r (say)
   2            3           -4
Any point on this line is P1( 2x-1, 3x-1, -4x+3). If this point is the reflection of P in the plane , then mid-point of PP1 lies in the plane.
Midpoint of PP1 is (r-1, 3r-2, -2r +3)
                                            2
This point must lie in the plane 2x +3y - 4z -10 = 0.
\2(r-1) + 3(3r-2) -4 (-2r +3) -10 = 0
                         2
or 4r -4 + 9r -6 _ 16r -24 -20 =0
or 29r -54 =0
or r = 54/29
\ Point P1 is (97/29, 133/29 ,-129/29)

Question 31

Equation of any plane through the point (4,5,1) is ,
a(x-4) +b(y-5) +c (z-1) =0 ??(1)
Let P,Q,R be the points(4,5,1), (3,9,4) and (-4,4,4) respectively.

From (2) the direction ratio of the normal to the plane (1) are 15, -21 and 33.
\putting a = 15, b = -21 , c = 33 in (1), we get
15(x - 4) -21 (y-5) + 33 (z - 1) =0
or 15x - 60 021y + 105+33z - 33 = 0
or 15x -21y + 33z + 12 = 0
Hence 5x-7y + 11z +4 =0 is the equation of the requried plane.

Question 33
                                                   ®                           ®
Prove that the two vectors a and b are equal if and only of their components along the x & y- axes are equal.
Ans.
           ®            ®
Let a = aî1 + a2j and b = b1î + b2j be two vector where a1, a2 and b1 , b2 are the components
    ®     ®
of a and b along x & y-axis respectively.

Necessary Condition :-
  ®   ®
a = b Þ a1î + a2j = b1î + b2j

\ (a1- b1) î = (b2 - a2)j

It shows either (a1 - b1) î and (b1 - b2) î are parallel or each is a zero vector .
But they are not parallel.

\ (a1- b1) î = (b2 - a2) j = 0

\ a1- b1 = 0 and b2 - a2

Sufficient condition :-

In this case a1= b1 and a2 = b2. We have to show
     ®           ®
that a = b.
a1= b1 and a2 = b2.
\a1- b1 = 0 and b2 - a2 = 0

\ (a1- b1) î = 0 = (b2 - a2)j
or a1î + a2j = b1î + b2j
    ®             ®
\ a = b

Question 34
Consider a group of 10 families each having 5 children of which 2 are boys and 3 are grils.One child is selected from each family, each family child of the family being equally likely to be selected. Calculate the prbability that amoung th 10 children so selected there are exactly 5 girls.
Ans.
We may consider this as the case of 10 independent experiments in each of which the probebility of success ( selected child is a girl) is 3/5. The number of success is thus a biominal random variable with distribution B (10,3/5).
Hence the required probability is
C (10,5) (3/5)5 (2/5)5 = 0.2 (approx.)

Question 35
In a bolt factory , A,B andC manufacture respectively 25%, 35% and 40% of the totalk bolts. Of their outputs 5,4 and 2 per centr are respectively from the product.
1. If the bolt drawn is found to be defective, what is the probality that it is manufactured by the machine B?
2. What is probability that the bolt drawn is defective.
Ans.
1.Let the events H1,H2 and H3 be the following:

H1: the bolts is manufactures by machine A.
H2 :the bolts is manufactured by machine B
H3: the bolt is manufactured by machine C.

Clearly H1 , H2 and H3 are mutually exclusive and exhaustive.

Let the event E be :
E: the bolt is defective.

The event E occurs with H1 or with H2 or with H3.
Now P(H1) = Probability that the bolt drawn is manufactured by machine A
                    = 25% = 0.25

Similarly, P(H2) = 0.35
               And P(H3) - 0.40

Again P(E/H1) = Probabily that the bolt drawn is defective given the condition that it is manufactured by machine A
= 5% = 0.05

Similarly
P(E/H2) = 0.04 and P(E/H3) = 0.02

We are requested to find P(H2/E), i.e. given the condition that bolt drawn is defective , what is the probality that it was manufactured by machine B.
We have the Bayes formula
P(H2/E) =                                 P(H2) P(E/H2)                                 
                  P(H1) . P(E/H1) + P(H2) . P(E/H2) +P(H3) . P(E/H3)
Substituting in the above expression.

P(H2/E) =                      0.32. x 0.04                      
                  0.25 x 0.05+0.35 x 0.04 + 0.40 x 0.02
              = 0.0140   = 28
                 0.0345       69
(2)Probability that the bolt drawn is defective = P(E)

= P(H1).P(E/H1)+P(H2).P(E/H2)+P(H3)+ P(H3).P(E/H3)
=0.25 x 0.05 + 0.354 x 0.04 + 0.40 x 0.02
= 0.0345

Question 36
Find the probability distribution of the number of success in two tosses if a die where success is defined as a number greater that 4'. Sketch its graph.
Ans.
Let x be the number of successes .
Then x can take values 0,1 or2
Now P(x = 0) = P (no success)
                        = 4/6 x 4/6 = 4/9
P(x = 1) = P( 1 auccess and 1 faliure)
               = P(success and failure) + P ( failure and success)
               = 2/6 x 4/6 + 4/6 x 2/6 = 4/9

P(x = 2) = P (both successes )
               = 2/6 x 2/6 = 1/9
\ Required probability Distribution is
x      |      0       1         2__

Ans.
Let p be the probability of defective nuts.
\ p = 2/100 = 1/50
and q = 1 - 1/50 = 49/50
Here n= 10
Then the probability distribution is given by (q+p)n
\(q+p)n = (49/50 + 1/50)10
= (49/50)10 + 10C1 (49/50)9 (1/50) + 10C2 (49/50)8 (1/50)2+???.+(1/50)10.

Ans.
Required Probability = P( throwing 2 sixes in first throws and a six in the 6th throw)
= P (throwing six twice in 5 throw) x P ( throwing a six in one throw)
= 5c2  p2q3  x 1/6 ( p = 1/6 \q = 5/6)
= 5 x 4 (1/6)2 (5/6)3 x 1/6
    1 x 2

         =7C3    = 7
           10C3     24
P(x=1) = P(1 bad and 2good articles )

            = 3C1 . 7C2 = 21
                     10C3      40
P(x = 2) = P(2 bad and 2good articles )
               = 3C2 . 7C1 = 7
                  10C3             40
P(x = 3) = P(3 bad articles )
               = 3C3    = 1
                  10C3    120
