1. If x = 1 is a critical point of the function f(x) = (3x2+ax-2-a)ex, then:
Solution:
f(x) = (3x2+ax-2-a)ex
f’(x) = (3x2+ax-2-a)ex +(6x+a)ex = 0
ex [3x2+(a+6) x-2] =0
at x = 1, 3+a+6-2 = 0
a = -7
f(x) = (3x2-7x+5)ex
f’(x) = (6x-7)ex +(3x2-7x+5)ex
= ex(3x2-x-2) = 0
= 3x2-3x+2x-2 = 0
= (3x+2)(x-1) = 0
x = 1, -2/3
x = 1 is point of local minima.
x = –2/3 is point of local maxima.

4. If L = sin2(π/16) - sin2(π/8) and M = cos2(π/16) - sin2(π/8), then
Solution:
L = sin(3π/16) sin(-π/16)
L = (-1/2)[cos(π/8)-cos(π/4)]
L = (1/2√2)-(1/2)cos (π/8)
M = cos(3π/16)cos(π/16)
M = (1/2)[cos(π/4)+cos(π/8)]
M = (1/2√2)+(1/2)cos(π/8)

7. If the mean and the standard deviation of the data 3,5,7,a,b are 5 and 2 respectively, then a and b are the roots of the equation:
Solution:
S.D =
22 = (83+a2+b2)/5 -(5)2
4 = (83+a2+b2)/5 -(25)
29×5-83 = a2+b2
⇒ a2+b2 = 62
(a+b+15)/5 = 5
⇒ a+b = 10 ..(i)

x = tan θ
u = tan-1(sec θ-1)/tan θ
= tan-1 (tan θ/2)
= θ/2
= (tan-1 x)/2
x = sin θ
v = tan-1(2 sinθ cosθ/cos 2θ) = 2θ
= 2 sin-1x
du/dv = ½(1+x2)×√(1-x2)/2

(1+r+r2)/r4(1+r+r2) = 1/81
r = 3
a(3+9+27) = 3
a = 3/39 = 1/13
S50 = a(r50-1)/(r-1)
