Question 12 Marks

Write the domain of the real function $f(x)=\frac{1}{\sqrt{|x|-x}}$

Answer

Case I : When x > 0.Then,we have,
$\begin{array}{l}|x|= x \\
\Rightarrow \frac{1}{\sqrt{|x|-x}}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{x-x}}=\frac{1}{0}=\infty\end{array}$
Case II : When x < 0
$\begin{array}{l}| x |=- x \\ \Rightarrow \frac{1}{\sqrt{|x|-x}}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{-x-x}}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{-2 x}}(\text { exists because when } x <0,-2 x >0)\end{array}$
$\Rightarrow f ( x )$ is defined when $x <0$
Therefore, domain $=(-\infty, 0)$

Question 22 Marks

Find the angles between the pairs of straight lines x - 4y = 3 and 6x - y = 11.

Answer

Given that equations of the lines are,
x - 4y = 3 .... (i)
6x - y = 11 .... (ii)
Let $m_1$ and $m_2$ be the slopes of these lines.
Here, $m_1=\frac{1}{4}, m_2=6$
Let $\theta$ be the angle between the lines.
Then,
$\begin{array}{l}\tan \theta=\left|\frac{m_1-m_2}{1+m_1 m_2}\right| \\
=\left|\frac{\frac{1}{4}-6}{1+\frac{3}{2}}\right| \\
=\frac{23}{10} \\
\Rightarrow \theta=\tan ^{-1}\left(\frac{23}{10}\right)\end{array}$
Therefore, the acute angle between the lines is $\tan ^{-1}\left(\frac{23}{10}\right)$

Question 32 Marks

Differentiate $\frac{x}{\sin x}$ respect to x .

Answer

$\begin{array}{l}\text { Let } f ( x )=\frac{x}{\sin x} \\
\therefore f ( x )=\frac{d}{d x}\left(\frac{x}{\sin x}\right) \\
=\frac{\sin x \frac{d}{d x} x-x \frac{d}{d x} \sin x}{(\sin x)^2} \\
=\frac{\sin x \cdot 1-x \cdot \cos x}{\sin ^2 x}\end{array}$
$\begin{array}{l}=\operatorname{cosec} x-x \cot x \operatorname{cosec} x \\
=(1-x \cot x) \cdot \operatorname{cosec} x\end{array}$

Question 42 Marks

Two sets $A$ and $B$ are, such that $n(A \cup B)=21, n(A)=10, n(B)=15$, find $n(A \cap B)$ and $n(A-B)$.

Answer

Using identity,
$n(A \cup B)=n(A)+n(B)-n(A \cap B)$
$\begin{array}{l}21=10+15-n(A \cap B) \\
\therefore n(A \cap B)=(10+15)-21 \\
=25-21=4 \\
\therefore n(A-B)=n\left(A \cap B^{\prime}\right) \\
=n(A)-n(A \cap B) \\
=10-4 \\
=6\end{array}$

Question 52 Marks

Find the vertex, focus, axis, directrix and latus-rectum of the following parabolas $4 x^2+y=0$.

Answer

We are given that
$\begin{array}{l}4 x^2+y=0 \\
\Rightarrow \frac{-y}{4}=x^2\end{array}$
Comparing the given equation with $x^2=-4 a y$
$\begin{array}{l}4 a=\frac{1}{4} a=\frac{1}{16} \\
\therefore \text { Vertex }=(0,0) \\
\text { Focus }=(0,-a)=\left(0, \frac{-1}{16}\right)\end{array}$
Equation of the directrix:
$\begin{array}{l}y=a \\
\text { i.e. } y=\frac{1}{16} \\
\text { Axis }=x=0\end{array}$
Therefore, length of the latus rectum $=4 a=\frac{1}{4}$

Question 62 Marks

The focus of a parabolic mirror as shown in is at a distance of 5 cm from its vertex. If the mirror is 45 cm deep, find the distance AB

Answer

Since the distance from the focus to the vertex is 5 cm. We have, a = 5. If the origin is taken at the vertex and the axis of the mirror lies along the positive x-axis, the equation of the parabolic section is
$y^2=4(5) x=20 x=\Rightarrow>$ required eqution of parabola $y^2=20 x$
Note that $x=45$. Thus
$y^2=900$
Therefore $y = \pm 30$
Hence $A B=2 y =2 \times 30=60 cm$

Question 72 Marks

Find the domain and range of the real function $f(x)=\sqrt{9-x^2}$.

Answer

It is clear that, $f ( x )=\sqrt{9-x^2}$ is not defined when $\left(9- x ^2\right)<0$, i.e.
When $x^2>9 i$,e when $x>3$ or $x<-3$
$\begin{array}{l}\operatorname{dom}( f )=|x \in R:-3 \leq x \leq 3| \\
\text { Also, } y =\sqrt{9-x^2} \Rightarrow y^2=\left(9-x^2\right) \\
\Rightarrow x=\sqrt{9-y^2}\end{array}$
$\begin{array}{l}\text { clearly, } x \text { is not defined when }\left(9-y^2\right)<0 \\
\text { but }\left(9-y^2\right)<0 \Rightarrow y^2>9 \\ \Rightarrow y>3 \text { or } y<-3 \\
\text { range }(f)=\{y \in R:-3 \leq y \leq 3\}\end{array}$
