Find general solution of (2sinx – cosx)(1 + cosx) = \(sin^2x\)

Solution : (2sinx – cosx)(1 + cosx) – (1 – \(cos^2x\)) = 0 \(\therefore\) (1 + cosx)(2sinx – cosx – 1 + cosx) = 0 \(\therefore\)  (1 + cosx)(2sinx – 1) = 0 \(\implies\) cosx = -1  or  sinx = \(1\over 2\) \(\implies\)  cosx = -1 = cos\(\pi\)  \(\implies\)  x = 2n\(\pi\) + \(\pi\) =

If x + 4y – 5 = 0 and 4x + ky + 7 = 0 are two perpendicular lines then k is

Solution : \(m_1\) = -\(1\over 4\)  \(m_2\) = -\(4\over k\) Two lines are perpendicular if \(m_1 m_2\) = -1 \(\implies\)  (-\(1\over 4\))\(\times\)(-\(4\over k\)) = -1  \(\implies\)  k = -1 Similar Questions If the straight line 3x + 4y + 5 – k(x + y + 3) = 0 is parallel to y-axis, then the value

The mean and variance of 5 observations of an experiment are 4 and 5.2 respectively. If from these observations three are 1, 2 and 6, then remaining will be

Solution : As given \(\bar{x}\) = 4, n = 5 and \({\sigma}^2\) = 5.2. If the remaining observations are \(x_1\), \(x_2\) then \({\sigma}^2\) = \(\sum{(x_i – \bar{x})}^2\over n\) = 5.2 \(\implies\) \({(x_1-4)}^2 + {(x_2-4)}^2 + {(1-4)}^2 + {2-4)}^2 + {(6-4)}^2\over 5\) = 5.2 \(\implies\) \({(x_1-4)}^2 + {(x_2-4)}^2\) = 9  …..(1) Also \(\bar{x}\) = 4 \(\implies\)
