The coefficient of λ^n μ^n in the expansion of [(1+λ)(1+μ)(λ+μ)]^n is ?
(1+λ)n = C0 + C1x + ..................................Cnxn
similarly for (1+μ)n and
(λ+μ)n = C0λn + C1λn-1μ + ........................ + Cnμn
On multiplying these 3, we will get the coefficient of λnμn = ∑Cn3 (Here you should remember that C0 = Cn, C1 = Cn-1 and etc)
For getting the value of ∑Cn3 :
multiply the expansions of (1+x)n, (1-x)n and [1-(1/x2)]n and calculate the coefficient of x0, we get ∑Cn3
and if we multiply (1+x)n, (1-x)n and [1-(1/x2)]n, then we get (-1)n(1-x2)2n/x2n so coefficient of x0 in this expression will be (-1)n 2nCn (-1)n = 2nCn
prove that the integral part of binomial expention is even
(5√5 + 11)2n+1
Let x = (5√5 + 11)2n+1 and y = (5√5 - 11)2n+1
so x*y = 42n+1 = even number
similarly x - y = integer
if we consider the value of y , it will be (5*2.3-5)2n+1 = (0.5)2n+1 = fraction number less than 1 (approx)
so definitely y will be the fractional part of x, and difference of x and y is even so integer part of x will be even
The number of roots of equations z15 = 1 and Iarg zI< π/2 is
let z = r(cosθ+i sinθ) and it is given that z15 = 1 => r15(cosθ+i sinθ)15 = 1
or r15(cos15θ+i sin15θ) = 1+0i (Here we use Demoivre's theorem)
on comparison we get sin 15θ = 0 => 15θ = nπ here n is an integer
for n = -7 to +7 we will get 15 answers for which θ will lie between -π/2 to +π/2
Find the number of solutions of the equation 2cos²(x/2)sin²(x) = x² + 1/x² , 0 < x ≤ π/2 .
max of sin and cos are 1 so max of left is 2
but x² + 1/x² ≥ 2x(1/x) = 2
so only solution will be obtained for 2cos²(x/2)sin²(x) = 2
so (1+cosx)(1-cos²x) = 2 which is impossible,so i think no solution
Find the value of 16cos(2π/15)cos(4π/15)cos(8π/15)cos(14π/5).
I think the last term would be cos(14π/15)
We know that cos(14π/15) = -cos(π/15)
so 16cos(2π/15)cos(4π/15)cos(8π/15)cos(14π/15)
= -16cos(π/15)cos(2π/15)cos(4π/15)cos(8π/15)
= -[8/sin(π/15)]2sin(π/15)cos(π/15)cos(2π/15)cos(4π/15)cos(8π/15)
= -[8/sin(π/15)]sin(2π/15)cos(2π/15)cos(4π/15)cos(8π/15)
take the similar steps
The maximum number of real roots of the equation 2x88 + 3x87 − 13x2 + 5x + 9 = 0 is
2x88 + 3x87 − 13x2 + 5x + 9 = 0
implies that 2x88 + 3x87 = 13x2 - 5x - 9
or x87(2x+3) = 13x2 - 5x - 9
now plot the left and right graphs for getting the intersecting points
Hint: Parabola will face in upward direction as a is positive, take x=0 we get -9 so 1 root will be positive and 1 negative,
x87(2x+3) will be 0 for x = -3/2 and x = 0 besides it consider some values as x = 1 and -1
You will get one root between 0 and -1
now check both the graph at x= -2, you will get the idea about the second intersection
Let α, β and γ be the cube roots of p (p < 0). For any real numbers x, y and z, the value of (xα+yβ+zγ) ⁄(xβ+yγ+zα) is
According to the given condition p is a negative number
consider p = -k so cube root of p will be α = -k1/3, β = -k1/3ω, γ = -k1/3ω2
On applying given values you will get the answer as ω or ω2
you should use ω3 = 1
According to the given condition p is a negative number
consider p = -k = (k1/3)3(-1) so cube root of p will be α = -k1/3, β = -k1/3ω, γ = -k1/3ω2 , here -1, -ω, -ω2 are the cube roots of -1
On applying given values on the given expression, you will get
x(-k1/3)+y(-k1/3ω)+z(-k1/3ω2)/x(-k1/3ω)+y(-k1/3ω2)+z(-k1/3)
=x+yω+zω2/xω+yω2+z
first multiply ω in numerator and denominator we get answer as 1/ω = ω2
second interchange the value of α, β, γ for getting answer as ω
you should use ω3 = 1
If A and B are two independent events such that and P(A'∩B)=2/7 and P(A∩B')=1/5, then P(A) is
Let p(A) = x and p(B) = y
we know that p(A∩B) + p(A∩B') = p(A)
and p(A∩B) + p(B∩A') = p(B)
and for independent event p(A∩B) = p(A)p(B)
so on applying all the given conditions relation etween x and y will be
xy + 1/5 = x
xy + 2/7 = y
solve now
Total number of non-negative integral solutions of 2x + y + z = 21 is
You can solve this question by the following method
possile algebric expression for the given equation is
(x0+x2+x4+........+x20)(x0+x1+x2+..................+x21)(x0+x1+x2+x3+....................x21) (i)
Here three brackets are for x , y and z, and powers are based on the range of least to greatest possile values of x, y, z
on solving eq (i) will become (x0+x2+x4+...........+x20)(1-x22)2(1-x)-2
now we have to calculate coefficient of x21 in this expression so (1-x22)2 can be omitted
general term of (1-x)-2 is (r+1)xr
so required coefficient = 22+20+18+16+14+12+10+8+6+4+2 = 132

limit n tends to ∞
then
(x^n)/(n!) equals
let y = lim n->∞ (xn/n!)
or y = x lim n->∞ (1/n) lim n->∞ xn-1/(n-1)!
or y = 0
