Solution

I will now go through the questions listed in the image one by one. Let’s begin with the first question:


  1. State the cosine and sine laws which are used to solve practical problems involving triangles and angles.
    • Cosine Law: In any triangle, the cosine of an angle is related to the lengths of the sides of the triangle by the formula:
      c2=a2+b22abcos(C)c^2 = a^2 + b^2 - 2ab \cdot \cos(C) where aa, bb, and cc are the lengths of the sides of the triangle, and CC is the angle opposite side cc.
    • Sine Law: The sine law relates the sides of a triangle to the sines of its angles: asin(A)=bsin(B)=csin(C)\frac{a}{\sin(A)} = \frac{b}{\sin(B)} = \frac{c}{\sin(C)} where aa, bb, and cc are the sides, and AA, BB, and CC are the respective opposite angles.

  1. In a geometric progression, insert 4 geometric terms that are between 2 and 6250.
    • Let the terms be 2,a2,a3,a4,62502, a_2, a_3, a_4, 6250.
      We know that in a geometric progression, the ratio between consecutive terms is constant. Let rr be the common ratio. Then: 2r3=6250r3=62502=31252 \cdot r^3 = 6250 \quad \Rightarrow \quad r^3 = \frac{6250}{2} = 3125 Taking the cube root of both sides: r=15r = 15 Therefore, the geometric terms are: 2,215=30,3015=450,45015=6750,62502, 2 \cdot 15 = 30, 30 \cdot 15 = 450, 450 \cdot 15 = 6750, 6250 Hence, the terms are: 2,30,450,67502, 30, 450, 6750.

  1. Solve ex18ex3=0e^{x} - 18e^{x} - 3 = 0.
    • The equation is ex18ex3=0e^{x} - 18e^{x} - 3 = 0.
      First, collect like terms: 17ex=3ex=317-17e^{x} = 3 \quad \Rightarrow \quad e^{x} = -\frac{3}{17} However, this leads to a contradiction, since the exponential function exe^x cannot be negative for real xx.
      Therefore, there are no real solutions.

  1. Find the differential equation of all straight lines passing through the origin.
    • The general equation of a straight line passing through the origin is: y=mxy = mx where mm is the slope. Differentiating this with respect to xx: dydx=m\frac{dy}{dx} = m Therefore, the differential equation is: dydx=m\frac{dy}{dx} = m where mm is a constant. Since the line passes through the origin, mm can vary.

  1. Find the vector, parametric, and symmetric equations of the line ll passing through the point A(3,2,4)A(3, -2, 4) with direction vector u=(2,3,5)\mathbf{u} = (2, 3, 5).
    • The vector equation of the line is: r(t)=A+tu=(3,2,4)+t(2,3,5)\mathbf{r}(t) = \mathbf{A} + t\mathbf{u} = (3, -2, 4) + t(2, 3, 5) which gives the parametric equations: x=3+2t,y=2+3t,z=4+5tx = 3 + 2t, \quad y = -2 + 3t, \quad z = 4 + 5t The symmetric equations are: x32=y+23=z45\frac{x - 3}{2} = \frac{y + 2}{3} = \frac{z - 4}{5}

  1. Find square roots of the complex number 3+4i3 + 4i.
    To find the square roots of 3+4i3 + 4i, we express it in polar form: r=32+42=5,θ=tan1(43)r = \sqrt{3^2 + 4^2} = 5, \quad \theta = \tan^{-1}\left(\frac{4}{3}\right) The square roots of a complex number in polar form rcisθr \text{cis} \theta are given by: rcis(θ+2kπ2),k=0,1\sqrt{r} \text{cis} \left(\frac{\theta + 2k\pi}{2}\right), \quad k = 0, 1 So the square roots of 3+4i3 + 4i are: ±(5cis(θ2))\pm \left( \sqrt{5} \text{cis} \left(\frac{\theta}{2}\right) \right)
