MCQ

The number that exceeds its square by the greatest amount is

A
$-1$
B
$0$
✓
${1 \over 2}$
D
$1$

✓

Answer

Correct option: C.

${1 \over 2}$

c
(c) Let the number is $x,$ then $y = x - {x^2}$

==>$\frac{dy}{d{{x}^{{}}}}$ and $\frac{{{d^2}y}}{{d{x^2}}} = - 2( < 0)$

==> $1 - 2x = 0 \Rightarrow x = \frac{1}{2}$.

Two adjacent sides of a parallelogram $\mathrm{ABCD}$ are given by $\overrightarrow{A B}=2 \hat{i}+10 \hat{j}+11 \hat{k}$ and $\overrightarrow{A D}=-\hat{i}+2 \hat{j}+2 \hat{k}$. The side $\mathrm{AD}$ is rotated by an acute angle $\alpha$ in the plane of the parallelogram so that $\mathrm{AD}$ becomes $\mathrm{AD}^{\prime}$. If $\mathrm{AD}^{\prime}$ makes a right angle with the side $\mathrm{AB}$, then the cosine of the angle $\alpha$ is given by
