Question 1 to 7 carry 3 scores each. Answer any 7 questions.

Question 1.
a) Construct a 2 × 2 matrix whose elements are given aij = 2i + j
b) Find A2.

Question 2.
a) If $$\int \frac{f(x)}{x^{2}+1} d x$$ = log | x2 + 1 | + C, then f(x) = …………
b) Find ∫ xex dx
a) f(x) = 2x
b) ∫ xex dx = x∫ex dx – ∫1 × ex dx
= xex – ex + c = e(x – 1) + c

Question 3.
Form the differential equation of the family of all circles touching the y-axis at origin.
Equation of the family of circle which touches the y-axis at origin is of the form.
(x – a)2 + y2 = a2 ……… (1)

Question 4.
Consider the relation in the set N of Natural numbers defined as R = { (a,b): ab is a factor of 6}. Determine whether the relation is reflexive, symmetric or transitive.
(2, 2) ∉ R, Not reflexive
(x, y) ∈ R ⇒ (y, x) ∈ R ⇒ xy = yx, Symmetric
(3, 2) ∈ R, (2, 3) ∈ R ⇒ (3, 3) ∉ R,
Since 3 × 3 = 9, not transitive.

Question 5.
Find the area bounded by the curve y= cos x and x axis between x = 0 and x = π.
Area = 2 $$\int_{0}^{\pi / 2}$$ cos xdx
= 2 $$[\sin x]_{0}^{\pi / 2}$$ = 2[1 + 0] = 2

Question 6.

A rectangular plot is to be fenced using a rope of length 20 meters with one of its sides is a wall as shown in the figure. Find the maximum area of such rectangle.

Length = 20 – 2x, breadth = x
A = x(20 – 2x) = 20x – 2x2
A'(x) = 20 – 4x ⇒ A'(x) = 0 ⇒ x = 5
A”(x) = -4 < 0
Hence A is maximum at x = 5
Maximum area = 5 × 10 = 50

Question 7.
A manufacture produces nuts and bolts. The time required to produce one packet of nuts and one packet of bolts on machines A and B is given in the following table

 Machine A Machine B Nuts (1 packet) 2 hours 3 hours Bolts (1 packet) 3 hours 1 hour

He earns a profit of Rs. 25 per packet of nuts and Rs. 12 per packet of bolts. He operates his machines for almost 15 hours a day. Formulate a linear programming problem to maximise his profit.
Maximise: Z = 25x + 12y
Subject to
2x + 3y ≤ l5; 3x + y ≤ 5; x, y ≥ 0

Questions 8 to 17 carry 4 scores each. Answer any 8.

Question 8.
Consider the curve y = x3 + 8x + 3
a) Find the point on the curve at which the slope of the tangent is 20.
b) Does there exist a tangent to the curve with negative slope? Justify your answer.
a) $$\frac{d y}{d x}$$ = 3x2 + 8
Slope is given as 20
20 = 3x2 + 8 ⇒ x = ±2
Therefore points (2, 27), (-2, -21)
b) No. 3x2 + 8 ≥ 0 (Always positive for any value of x.)

Question 9.
a) Which of the following functions is not continuous at zero?
i) f(x) = sin x

b) Find the Values of a and b such that the function defined by
f(x) = $$\left\{\begin{array}{cc} 10, & x \leq 3 \\ a x+b, & 3<x<4 \\ 20, & x \geq 4 \end{array}\right.$$
[Here f(x) is oscillating between -1 and 1 as x approaches to 0. In other cases the limit value and function value are same. So continuous.]
b) $$\lim _{x \rightarrow 3^{+}}$$f(x) = 3a + b ⇒ 3a + b = 10
$$\lim _{x \rightarrow 4^{-}}$$ f(x) = 4a + b ⇒ 4a + b = 20
Solving both equations we get a = 10, b = -20

Question 10.
Consider the plane 2x – 3y + z = 5
a) Find the equation of the plane passing through the point (1, 1, 3) and parallel to the above plane.
b) Find the distance between above planes
a) Equation of a plane parallel to the
2x – 3y + z = 5 is of the form 2x – 3y + z = k .
Since it passes through the point (1, 1, 3),
we have 2 – 3 + 3 = k ⇒ k = 2
⇒ 2x – 3y + z = 2

b) Distance between the planes
= $$\left|\frac{5-2}{\sqrt{4+9+1}}\right|=\frac{3}{\sqrt{14}}$$

Question 11.
Consider the vectors
$$\vec{a}$$ = 2i + j + 3k; $$\vec{b}$$ = i + 4j – k
a) Find the projection of $$\vec{a}$$ on $$\vec{b}$$
b) If $$\vec{a}$$ is perpendicular to a vector $$\vec{c}$$ then projection of $$\vec{a}$$ on $$\vec{c}$$
c) Write a vector $$\vec{d}$$ such that the projection of $$\vec{a}$$ on $$\vec{d}$$ = |$$\vec{a}$$|

b) Projection will be zero.
c) Projection of $$\vec{a}$$ on $$\vec{d}$$ = |$$\vec{a}$$|, means the angle between $$\vec{a}$$ and $$\vec{d}$$ is zero. Hence both are parallel. So any vector parallel to $$\vec{a}$$ is $$\vec{d}$$.

Question 12.
a)

In the figure ABCD is a Parallelogram. If
$$\overrightarrow{A B}$$ = 3i – j + 2k; $$\overrightarrow{A D}$$ = i + j + 2k, find $$\overrightarrow{A C}$$ and $$\overrightarrow{D B}$$
b) If $$\vec{a}$$ and $$\vec{b}$$ are adjacent sides of any parallelogram $$\vec{c}$$ and $$\vec{d}$$ are diagonals,
then show that |$$\vec{c}$$ × $$\vec{d}$$| = 2|$$\vec{a}$$ × $$\vec{b}$$|
a) $$\overrightarrow{A C}$$ = $$\overrightarrow{A B}$$ + $$\overrightarrow{A D}$$ = 4i + 4j
$$\overrightarrow{B D}$$ = $$\overrightarrow{A B}$$ – $$\overrightarrow{A D}$$ = 2i – 2j

b) Let $$\vec{c}$$ = $$\vec{a}$$ + $$\vec{b}$$ and d = $$\vec{a}$$ – $$\vec{b}$$
$$\vec{c}$$ × $$\vec{d}$$ = ($$\vec{a}$$ + $$\vec{b}$$) × ($$\vec{a}$$ – $$\vec{b}$$)
= $$\vec{a}$$ × $$\vec{a}$$ – $$\vec{a}$$ × $$\vec{b}$$ + $$\vec{b}$$ × $$\vec{a}$$ – $$\vec{b}$$ × $$\vec{b}$$
= 0 – $$\vec{a}$$ × $$\vec{b}$$ – $$\vec{a}$$ × $$\vec{b}$$ – 0 = -2($$\vec{a}$$ × $$\vec{b}$$)

Question 13.
Find ∫(4x + 7)$$\sqrt{x^{2}+4 x+13}$$dx
4x + 7 = A(2x + 4) + B ⇒ A = 2, B = -1
I = 2∫$$\sqrt{x^{2}+4 x+13}$$dx – ∫$$\sqrt{x^{2}+4 x+13}$$dx
I = 2I1 – I2

Question 14.
a) Write integrating factor of the linear differential equation $$\frac{d y}{d x}+\frac{y}{x}$$ = sin x
b) Slope of the tangent to a curve at any point is twice the x coordinate of the point. If the curve passes through the point (1, 4), find its equation.
IF = $$e^{\int P d x}$$ = $$e^{\log x}$$ = x
b) $$\frac{d y}{d x}$$ = 2x ⇒ dy = 2x dx
Integrating we get;
∫dy = ∫ 2x dx + C ⇒ y = x2 + C
Since passes through (1, 4) we have;
4 = 1 + C ⇒ C = 3
Hence equation is y = x2 +3

Question 15.
Solve the linear programming problem graphically Maximise Z = 3x + 5y
Subject to the constraints
x + 3y ≤ 3
x + y ≤ 2
x, y ≥ 0

 Corner points Z = 3x + 5y O (0, 0) 0 A (2, 0) 6 B$$\left(\frac{3}{2}, \frac{1}{2}\right)$$ 7 C (0, 1) 5

Maximum 7 at B = $$\left(\frac{3}{2}, \frac{1}{2}\right)$$

Question 16.
a) If cos-1 $$\frac{12}{13}$$ = tan-1 x then find x.
b) Show that cos-1 $$\frac{4}{5}$$ + cos-1 $$\frac{12}{13}$$ = tan-1 $$\frac{14}{33}$$

a) Find A-1 using elementary row operations.
b) Find the solution of the system of equations given below:
(A-1 obtained above may be used)
x + 2z + 2; y + 2z + 1; 4y + 9z = 3

$$\left[\begin{array}{lll} 1 & 0 & 2 \\ 0 & 1 & 2 \\ 0 & 4 & 9 \end{array}\right]=\left[\begin{array}{lll} 1 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 1 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & 1 \end{array}\right] A$$

Question 19.
a) Show that
$$\left|\begin{array}{lll} 1 & a & b c \\ 1 & b & a c \\ 1 & c & a b \end{array}\right|$$ = (a – b)(b – c)(c – a)
b) If A = $$\left[\begin{array}{cc} 2 & 3 \\ 4 & -1 \end{array}\right]$$ verift that A × adj A = |A|I

b) Evaluate $$\int_{-\pi / 2}^{\pi / 2}$$ cos x dx
c) Evaluate $$\int_{0}^{1}$$ (x2 + 1)dx as the limit of a sum.

Question 21.
a) Verify mean value theorem for the function f(x) = x2 – 4x – 3 in the interval [1, 4].
b) Consider the function
f(x) = sin-1 2x $$\sqrt{1-x^{2}}$$, $$\frac{-1}{\sqrt{2}} \leq x \leq \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$$
i) Show that f(x) = 2sin-1 x
ii) Find f'(x)
a) f(x) is a continuous function in [1, 4], since it is a polynomial.
f'(x) = 2x – 4, f is differentiable in (1, 4).
f(4) = 16 – 16 – 3 = -3, f(1) = 1 – 4 – 3 = -6

Hence mean value theorem is verified.

b) i) Put x = sinθ
f(x) = sin-1 (2 sin θ$$\sqrt{1-\sin ^{2} \theta}$$)
= sin-1 (2 sin θ cos θ)
= sin-1 (sin 2θ) = 2θ = 2 sin-1 x
ii) f'(x) = $$\frac{2}{\sqrt{1-x^{2}}}$$

Question 22.
a) Show that the lines
$$\frac{x-2}{1}=\frac{y+1}{2}=\frac{z-3}{1} ; \frac{x-3}{2}=\frac{y-1}{1}=\frac{z-4}{2}$$ are coplanar.
b) Find the equation of the plane that contains the above lines.
c) Show that the above lines intersect at the point (3, 1, 4).
a) Points (2, -1, 3) and (3, 1, 4)

Normal direction ratios are 3, 0, -3.
Therefore equation of the plane is
3(x – 2) -3 (z – 3) = 0
3x – 6 – 3z + 9 = 0
x – z + 1 = 0

c) (3, 1, 4) is a point on the second line. Substitute the point in the first line
$$\frac{3-2}{1}=\frac{1+1}{2}=\frac{4-3}{1} \Rightarrow \frac{1}{1}=\frac{2}{2}=\frac{1}{1}$$
Therefore the point (3, 1, 4) satisfies the first line. Hence both interest at (3, 1, 4).

Question 23.
a) A coin is tossed 3 times. Find the probability distribution of the number of heads.
b) A bag contains 5 black and 6 white balls, 4 balls of the same colour (Black or white) are added to the bag, shuffled well and one ball is drawn. If the ball obtained is white. What is the probability that the balls added are black?
a) Let X be the random variable denoting the
number of heads appears. Then X = {0, 1, 2, 3}
P(X = x) = nCPxqn-x; p = $$\frac{1}{2}$$, q = $$\frac{1}{2}$$, n = 3

 X 0 1 2 3 P(X) $$\frac{1}{8}$$ $$\frac{3}{8}$$ $$\frac{3}{8}$$ $$\frac{1}{8}$$

E1 = Balls added are black.
E2 = Balls added are white.
A = Ball drawn is white.
