Find the value of a25 - a15 for the AP: 6, 9, 12, 15, ………..ORIf 7 times the seventh term of the AP is equal to 5 times the fifth term, then find the value of its 12th term.

Answer»

a = 6, d = 3 ; a25 = 6 + 24(3) = 78

a15 = 6 + 14(3) = 48 ; a25 - a15 = 78 - 48 = 30

OR

7(a + 6d) = 5(a + 4d)

⇒ 2a + 22d = 0

⇒ a + 11d = 0

⇒ t12 = 0

If \( f(x+5)=x^{2}-5 x+7 \) find \( f(x) \) A. \( f(x)=x^{2}-15 x+37 \)B. \( f(x)=x^{2}+15 x+57 \) C. \( f(x)=x^{2}-15 x+37 \)D. \( f(x)=x^{2}-15 x+57 \)

Answer»

Correct answer is:- (D) f(x) = x2 - 15x + 57

Explanation:- Let, 

f(x) = ax2 + bx + c... (1)  

Now, f(x + 5) = a(x + 5)2 + b(x + 5) + c

x2 - 5x + 7 = ax2 +10ax + 25a + bx + 5b + c. 

Comparing the coefficient of x2, we get a = 1

x2 - 5x + 7 = x2 + 10x + 25 + bx + 5b + c

-15x - 18 = bx + 5b + c, 

Comparing the coefficient of x, we get b = -15

-15x - 18 = -15x - 75 + c

c = 57

Putting the values of a, b and c in (1) we get, 

f(x) = x2 - 15x + 57. 

Therefore, the required polynomial is x2 - 15x + 57 

(D) x2 - 15x + 57

f(x + 5) = x2 - 5x + 7

\(\therefore\) f(x) = (x - 5)2 - 5(x - 5) + 7 (By taking x -5 as x)

 = x2 - 10x + 25 - 5x + 25 + 7

 = x2 - 15x + 57

29520.

3x + 2 + 3-x = 10

Answer»

3x + 2 + 3-x = 10

⇒ 3x + 3-x - 8 = 0

⇒ 32x + 1 - 8 x 3x = 0

⇒ (3x)2 - 8 x 3x + 1 = 0 which is a quadratic equation in 3x.

∴ 3x\(\frac{-(-8)\pm\sqrt{64-4}}{2}=\frac{8\pm\sqrt{60}}{2}=\frac{8\pm2\sqrt{15}}{2}\) = 4±√15

⇒ x = log3 (4+√15) or x = log3 (4-√15).

29521.

Determine the nature of the roots of the quadratic equation 9x2 - 13x + 4 = 0.

Answer»

9x– 13x + 4 = 0

a = 9, b = −13 and c = 4

∴ Discriminant = b2 – 4ac

= (−13)– 4(9)(4)

= 169 – 144 

= 25

Since 25 is a perfect square.

Since D > 0, then equation has two real and unequal roots.

Why `[BF_(6)]^(2-)` ion does not exist?

Answer» Valence shell electronic configuration of boron is `2s^(2)2p^(1)` i.e. boron can expand its coordination number to `4` only. Due to the absence of low-lying `d`-orbitals in its valence shell, boron cannot expand of low-lying `d`-orbitals in its valence shell, boron cannot expand its coordination number beyond `4`, hence,`[BF_(6)]^(2-)` does not exist.
