Find all integers a, b, c such that a2 = bc + 4, b2 = ca + 4. |
|
Answer» Suppose a = b. Then we get one equation: a2 = ac + 4. This reduces to a(a - c) = 4. Therefore a = 1, a - c = 4, a = -1, a - c = -4, a = 4, a - c = 1, a = -4, a - c = -1, a = 2, a - c = 2, a = -2, a - c = -2. Thus we get (a, b, c) = (1, 1,-3), (-1,-1, 3), (4, 4, 3), (-4, -4,-3), (2, 2, 0), (-2, -2, 0). If a ≠ b, subtracting the second relation from the first we get a2 - b2 = c(b - a). This gives a + b = -c. Substituting this in the first equation, we get a2 = b(-a - b) + 4. Thus a2 + b2 + ab = 4. Multiplication by 2 gives (a + b)2 + a2 + b2 = 8. Thus (a, b) = (2, -2), (-2, 2), (2, 0), (-2, 0), (0, 2), (0, -2). We get respectively c = 0; 0, -2, 2, -2, 2. Thus we get the triples: (a, b, c) = (1, 1, -3), (-1,-1, 3), (4, 4, 3), (-4, -4, -3), (2, 2, 0),(-2,-2, 0), (2,-2, 0), (-2, 2, 0), (2, 0,-2), (-2, 0, 2), (0, 2,-2), (0,-2, 2). |

Let P(x) = x2 + ax + b be a quadratic polynomial where a is real and b ≠ 2 is rational. Suppose P(0)2, P(1)2, P(2)2 are integers. Prove that a and b are integers. |
|
Answer» We have P(0) = b. Since b is rational and b2 = P(0)2 is an integer, we conclude that b is an integer. Observe that P(1)2 = (1 + a + b)2 = a2 + 2a(1 + b) + (1 + b)2 ∈ Z P(2)2 = (4 + 2a + b)2 = 4a2 + 4a(4 + b) + (4 + b)2 ∈ Z Eliminating a2, we see that 4a(b - 2) + 4(1 + b)2 - (4 + b)2 ∈ Z. Since b ≠ 2, it follows that a is rational. Hence the equation x2 + 2x(1 + b) + (1 + b)2 - (a2 + 2a(1 + b) + (1 + b)2) = 0 is a quadratic equation with integer coeffcients and has rational solution a. It follows that a is an integer. |

Give reasons for the following situations in business 1. Operating cycle is shorter in trading business than in manufacturing business. 2. Shelf life has an impact on the inventory. |
|
Answer» 1.If one is involved in manufacturing activity, one starts with buying raw materials and packing materials etc. These materials are then converted into the end product. During the time required to convert raw material to the end product, various expenses like wages, rent, salary, utility bill, insurance etc are to be paid. Once the end product is ready, it has to be sold and money received from the customer. 2.Items like vegetables, fruits, flowers and fish are perishable in nature. This calls for special storage conditions and equipment – cold storage, freezers etc. These have financial implications. Similarly, some of the manufactured food or medicinal products have expiry dates – beyond which they are not fit for consumption. This imposes certain constraints on inventory management. |

What is pulley? |
|
Answer» It is a simple wooden or metallic machine that uses a wheel and rope to lift heavy loads. Nowadays, plastic pulleys are also available in the market to carry small loads. This can be rotated freely about an axis passing through its center. It can change the direction of a force which makes it much easier for people to lift anything. With this, you can pull down on one end to lift the 10 kgs and one-meter high object. Types of Pulley:
When the block of the pulley is fixed on a high platform, it is known as fixed. An extensible string passes over the groove where its one end is attached to the body to be lifted while the other end is free.
When the block of the pulley is not fixed but carries the load, it is known as Movable. An inextensible string is tied around the groove where its one end is fixed to fixed support while the other end is kept free to apply the effort. As the effort is applied, the block together with the load moves upward. |

Show that the system 2x + 3y = 1, 4x + 6y = 4, has no solutions. |
|
Answer» Given system of equations are 2x + 3y = 1 and 4x + 6y = 4. Comparing given system of equations with a1x + b1y = c1 and a2x + b2y = c2, we get a1 = 2, b1 = 3, c1 = 1 and a2 = 4, b2 = 6, c2 = 4. Now, \(\frac{a_1}{a_2}= \frac{2}{4} = \frac{1}{2},\) \(\frac{b_1}{b_2}\) = \(\frac{3}{6} = \frac{1}{2}\) & \(\frac{c_1}{c_2}\) = \(\frac{1}{4}\) Hence, \(\frac{a_1}{a_2} = \frac{b_1}{b_2}\) = \(\frac{1}{2} \neq \frac{1}{4} = \frac{c_1}{c_2}\) Hence, \(\frac{a_1}{a_2} = \frac{b_1}{b_2}\) \(\neq\) \(\frac{c_1}{c_2}\), which is condition of No Solution. Hence, given system of equations has no solution. Hence proved |

If the probability of winning a game is 0.7, what is the probability of losing it? |
|
Answer» Given that probability of winning a game is 0.7 = P(A) (Let) We know that for a game, there are only two possibility losing and winning. Let the probability of losing the game is P(B). We know that, the sum of probabilities for all possible outcomes is equal to 1. ∴ P(A) + P(B) = 1 ⇒ P(B) = 1 – P(A) = 1– 0.7 = 0.3. (∵ P(A) = 0.7) Hence, the probability of losing the game is 0.3. |
