Question 1 to 7 carries 3 scores each. Answer any six questions. [6 * 3 = 18]

Question 1[a]: If f (x) = sin x, g (x) = x² ; x ∈ R; then find (fog) (x).

[b] Let u and v be two functions defined on R as u (x) = 2x – 3 and v (x) = (3 + x) / 2 . Prove that u and v are inverse to each other.

Solution:

g (x) = x²

(fog) (x) = f (g (x))

= f (x²)

= sin (x²)

= [2 (3 + x) / 2] – 3 = x

(u o v) = I

(v o u) x = v (u (x))

= v (2x – 3)

= (3 + 2x – 3) / 2 = x

(v o u) = I

Question 2[a]: For the symmetric matrix A = Find the values of x and y.

(b) From Part(a), verify AA’ and A + A’ are symmetric matrices.

Solution:

AA’ and A + A’ are symmetric matrices.

Question 3[a]: Find the slope of the tangent line to the curve y = x² – 2x + 1.

(b) Find the equation of the tangent to the above curve which is parallel to the line 2x – y + 9 = 0.

Solution:

dy / dx = 2x – 2

Slope of tangent line = 2x – 2

2x – y + 9 = 0

y = 2x + 9

Slope = 2 [y = mx + c]

2x – 2 = 2

x = 2 and y = 1

The point is (2, 1).

The equation of the tangent is (y – y₁) = (dy / dx) (x – x₁)

(y – 1) = 2 (x – 2)

y – 2x + 3 = 0

Question 4[a]: If ∫f (x) dx = log |tan x| + C. Find f (x).

[b] Evaluate ∫1 / [√1 – 4x²] dx

Solution:

f (x) = sec² x / tan x or 2 cosec 2x

= ∫1 / [√4 (1 / 4 – x²)] dx

= (1 / 2) ∫1 / [√(1 / 2)² – x²] dx

= (1 / 2) sin^-1 (x / [1 / 2]) + C

= (1 / 2) sin^-1 2x + C

Question 5[a]: Area bounded by the curve y = f (x) and the lines x = a, x = b and the x axis = ______

(i) ∫_a^b x dy (ii) ∫_a^b x² dy (iii) ∫_a^b y dx (iv) ∫_a^b y² dx

Answer: (iii)

[b] Find the area of the shaded region using integration.

Subject to

20x + 30y ≥ 500

15x + 12y ≥ 400

25x + 23y ≥ 300

x, y ≥ 0

Questions 8 to 17 carry 4 scores each. Answer any eight. (8 * 4 = 32)

Question 8[a]: The function P is defined as “To each person on the earth is assigned a date of birth”. Is this function one-one ? Give reason.

(b) Consider the function f : [0, 𝛑 / 2] → R

given by f (x) = sin x and g : [0, 𝛑 / 2] → R

given by g (x) = cos x.

(i) Show that f and g are one-one functions.

(ii) Is f + g one-one? Why?

(c) The number of one-one functions from a set containing 2 elements to a set containing 3 elements is ______

(i) 2 (ii) 3 (iii) 6 (iv) 8

Solution:

f (x₁) = f (x₂)

sin x₁ = sin x₂

x₁ = x₂

Thus f is one to one.

g (x) = cos x

g (x₁) = g (x₂)

cos x₁ = cos x₂

x₁ = x₂

Thus g is one to one.

(f + g) (x₁) = (f + g) (x₂)

sin x₁ + cos x₁ = sin x₂ + cos x₂

sin x₁ – sin x₂ = cos x₂ – cos x₁

cos (x₁ + x₂) / 2 = sin (x₁ + x₂) / 2

x₁ = (𝛑 / 2) – x₂

f + g is not a one-one function.

Question 9: If A = sin^-1 (2x / [1 + x²]), B = cos^-1 [1 – x²] / [1 + x²], C = tan^-1 [2x / 1 – x²] satisfies the condition 3A – 4B + 2C = 𝛑 / 3. Find the value of x.

Solution:

A = sin^-1 (2x / [1 + x²]) = sin^-1 (sin 2θ) = 2θ

B = cos^-1 [1 – x²] / [1 + x²] = cos^-1 (cos 2θ) = 2θ

C = tan^-1 [2x / 1 – x²] = tan^-1 (tan θ) = 2θ

3A – 4B + 2C = 𝛑 / 3

3 (2θ) – 4 (2θ) + 2 (2θ) = 𝛑 / 3

6θ – 8θ + 4θ = 𝛑 / 3

2θ = 𝛑 / 3

tan^-1 x = 𝛑 / 6

x = 1 / √3

Question 10[a]: Write the function whose graph is shown below.

(b) Discuss the continuity of the function obtained in part (a).

(c) Discuss the differentiability of the function obtained in part (a).

Solution:

lim _x→0- f (x) = lim _x→0- (x²) = 0

f (0) = 0

f (x) is continuous at x = 0.

Question 11: A cuboid with a square base and given volume ‘V’ is shown in the figure.

(a) Express the surface area ‘s’ as a function of x.

(b) Show that the surface area is minimum when it is a cube.

Solution:

v = x²y

= 2x² + 4x * (v / x²)

= 2x² + (4v / x)

ds / dx = 0

v = x³

x = (v)^⅓

d²s / dx² = 4 + (8v / x³) = 4 + 8 = 12 > 0

Hence, S is minimum.

y = v / x² = x³ / x² = x

Therefore, cuboid becomes a cube.

Question 12[a]: If 2x + 4 = A (2x + 3) + B, find A and B.

[b] Using part (a) evaluate ∫{(2x + 4) / [x² + 3x +1]}dx.

Solution:

= ∫{(2x + 3) / [x² + 3x + 1]}dx + ∫{1 / [x² + 3x + 1]}dx

= log |x² + 3x + 1| + ∫{1 / [x² + 3x + (9 / 4) – (9 / 4) + 1]}dx

= log |x² + 3x + 1| + ∫1 / [(x + (3 / 2)² – (√5 / 2)²]

= log |x² + 3x + 1| + (1 / 2 * (√5 / 2)) log |(x + (3 / 2) – (√5 / 2)) / (x + (3 / 2) + (√5 / 2))

= log |x² + 3x + 1| + [1 / √5] log |(x + [3 – √5] / 2) / (x + [3 + √5] / 2)|

Question 13: Consider the differential equation cos²x (dy / dx) + y = tan x. Find

(a) its degree

(b) the integrating factor

(c) the general solution.

Solution:

= e^{∫sec^2 x dx}

= e^{tan x}

Put u = tan x

y * e^{tan x} = ∫ue^u du

= tan x e^{tan x} – e^{tan x} + C

Question 14: The position vectors of three points A, B, C are given to be i + 3 j + 3k, 4i + 4k and –2 i + 4 j + 2k, respectively.

(a) Find AB and AC.

(b) Find the angle between AB and AC.

(c) Find a vector which is perpendicular to both AB and AC having a magnitude 9 units.

Solution:

BC = – 3i + j – k

|AC| = √11

cos θ = |[AB . AC] / [|AB| . |AC|]

= |(- 13) / [√19 . √11]|

= 13 / [√19 . √11]

θ = cos^-1 [13 / [√19 . √11]] [c] n = (AB x AC) / |(AB x AC)|

= 2i – 6k

|AB x AC| = √40

The required vector = 9 (2i – 6k) / √40

Question 15[a]: If a, b, c are coplanar vectors, write the vector perpendicular to a.

(b) If a, b, c are coplanar, prove that a + b, b + c, c + a are coplanar.

Solution:

= (a + b) . [(b x c) + (b x a) + (c x c) + (c x a)]

= a . (b x c) + b . (c x a)

= 2 [a b c]

= 0

So, a + b, b + c, c + a are coplanar.

Question 16[a]: Write all the direction cosines of the x-axis.

(b) If a line makes angles ɑ, β, 𝝲 with x, y, z axes respectively, then prove that sin² ɑ + sin² β + sin² 𝝲 = 2.

(c) If a line makes equal angles with the three coordinate axes, find the direction cosines of the lines.

Solution:

(1 – sin² ɑ) + (1 – sin² β) + (1 – sin² 𝝲) = 1

sin² ɑ + sin² β + sin² 𝝲 = 2

cos ɑ = cos β = cos 𝝲

cos² ɑ + cos² β + cos² 𝝲 = 1

3 cos² ɑ = 1

cos ɑ = 1 / √3

Similarly, β = 1 / √3 and 𝝲 = 1 / √3

Question 20: Find dy / dx for the following.

[a] sin²x + cos²y = 1

(b) y = x^x

(c) x = a (t – sin t); y = a (1 + cos t)

Solution:

2 sin x cos x + 2 cos y (- sin y) (dy / dx) = 0

cos y (- sin y) (dy / dx) = – sin x cos x

dy / dx = sin x cos x / sin y cosy

log y = x log x

(1 / y) (dy / dx) = x * (1 / x) + log x

dy / dx = y [1 + log x]

= x^x [1 + log x] [c] x = a (t – sin t); y = a (1 + cos t)

dx / dt = a (1 – cos t)

dy / dt = – a sint

dy / dx = (dy / dt) / (dx / dt)

= – a sint / a (1 – cos t)

= – sint / 1 – cost

= – cot (t / 2)

Question 21: Evaluate the following integrals.

[a] ∫₀^𝛑/2 [(sin x) / [sin x + cos x]] dx

[b] ∫_-𝛑/2^𝛑/2 sin⁷ x dx

[c] ∫x sin 3x dx

Solution:

I = ∫₀^𝛑/2 [(sin x) / [sin x + cos x]] dx

= ∫₀^𝛑/2 [sin (𝛑 / 2 – x)] / [sin (𝛑 / 2 – x + cos (𝛑 / 2 – x)]

= ∫₀^𝛑/2 [cos x / cos x + sin x] dx

2I = ∫₀^𝛑/2 1 dx

= [x]₀^𝛑/2

= 𝛑 / 2

I = 𝛑 / 4

Since it is an odd function.

= x ∫sin 3x dx – ∫1 [∫sin 3x dx] dx

= x . [- cos 3x / 3] – ∫[- cos 3x / 3]dx

= [- x cos 3x / 3] + sin 3x / 9 + C

Solution:

= 4 ∫₀^𝛑/2 sin x dx

= 4 * 1

= 4

The equation of the curve is x² + y² = 9.

y = √9 – x²

Area = ∫_a^b y dx

= ∫₀³ √9 – x² dx

= [(x / 2) √9 – x² + (9 / 2) sin^-1 (x / 3)]₀³

= (9 / 2) sin^-1 (1)

= 9𝛑 / 4 square units

= 9𝛑 square units

7x – 5y + 4z – 8 = 0

r = (3i + 5j + 7k) + 𝛍 (i – 2j + k)

P (E₁ / A) = [P (E₁) * P (A / E₁)] / [P (E₁) * P (A / E₁) + P (E₂) * P (A / E₂)]

= (0.5 * 0.5) / [(0.5 * 0.5) + (0.5 * 0.25)

= 2 / 3

k + 3k + 5k + 7k + 4k = 1

20k = 1

k = 1 / 20

Mean = ∑ x * P(x) = 50 / 20 = 5 / 2
