In the figure BC = 12 ∠D = 90°,Find ∠CBD, ∠ACD, ∠ABC . Find BD, CD, AD, AC, AB. Find the ratio of the sides of the triangle having the angles 30°, 15°, 135° .

Answer»

∠ACD = 180 – (30 + 90) = 60 

∠BCD = 60 – 15 = 45 ∠CBD = 45

∠ABC = 135 [∵ 180 – (30 + 15)]

BD = \(\frac{BC}{\sqrt{2}}=\frac{12}{\sqrt{2}}=6\sqrt{2}\) = 8.48

CD = \(6\sqrt{2}\)

(∵ ∆BCD is an isosceles right angles)

AC = 2 x \(6\sqrt{2}=12\sqrt{2}\)

AD = \(6\sqrt{2}\times\sqrt{3}=6\sqrt{6}=14.69\)

AB = AD - BD = 14.69 - 8.48 = 6.21

The ratio of the sides of the triangle with angles 30°, 15°, 135° are 12 : 6,21 : \(12\sqrt{2}\)

The points A(0, 0), B(10, 0), C(5, 5√3 ) are the vertices of the triangle ABC. Find AB, BC, AC and prove that the triangle is equilateral.

Answer»

A(0, 0), B(10, 0), C (5, 5√3)

AB = 10 unit

BC = \(\sqrt{(10-5)^2+(0-5\sqrt{3})^2}\)

\(\sqrt{25+75}\) = 10 unit

AC = \(\sqrt{(10-5)^2+(0-5\sqrt{3})^2}\)

\(\sqrt{25+75}\) = 10 unit

AB = BC = AC

∴ ΔABC is equilateral

How many (i) straight line (ii) traingle can be formed by 13 points, 6 of which are in straight line...

Answer»

∵ Straight line can be formed by joining two points & triangle can be formed by joining three non-collinear points.

(i) Number of ways in which 2 points are selected from 13 points = \(^{13}C_2\).

But given that 6 points are collinear (in straight line).

Therefore these 6 points can form only one line.

So, we have to subtract (\(^6C_2\) - 1) from the ways of selection 2 points from 13 points.

∴ Total straight lines that can be possible 

\(^{13}C_2\) - (\(^6C_2\) - 1)

\(\frac{13\times 12}{2}\) - \(\frac{6\times 5}{2}\) + 1

= 13 x 6 - 15 + 1

= 78 - 14

= 64.

(ii) Number of ways in which 3 non-collinear points are selected from 13 points = \(^{13}C_3\).

But given that 6 points are collinear that never be formed any triangle.

So, we have to subtract the selection of 3 non-collinear points from these 6 points.

So, total number of triangle = \(^{13}C_3\) - \(^{6}C_3\)

\(\frac{13\times 12\times 11}{3\times 2}\) - \(\frac{6\times 5\times 4}{3\times 2}\)

= 286 - 20

= 266.

what are the points of non differentiability of f(x) = |2x+3|

Answer»

|x| is non-differentiable at x = 0.

Similarly |2x + 3| is non- differentiable at point where 2x + 3 = 0

⇒ \(x = \frac{-3}2\)

Hence, f(x) = |2x + 3| is non-differentiable at \(x = \frac{-3}2\).
