For a relation \( R \) defined on a set \( A \), the domain is the set of all first elements in the ordered pairs, and the range is the set of all second elements in the ordered pairs.


The relation given is: \[ R = \{(1, 2), (2, 2), (1, 1), (4, 4), (1, 3), (3, 3), (3, 2)\} \]

Step 1: Domain of \( R \)

The domain consists of the first elements of the ordered pairs in \( R \). From the pairs \( (1, 2), (2, 2), (1, 1), (4, 4), (1, 3), (3, 3), (3, 2) \), the first elements are: \[ \{1, 2, 4, 3\} \]
Therefore, the domain is: \[ Domain = \{1, 2, 4, 3\} \]

Step 2: Range of \( R \)

The range consists of the second elements of the ordered pairs in \( R \). From the pairs \( (1, 2), (2, 2), (1, 1), (4, 4), (1, 3), (3, 3), (3, 2) \), the second elements are: \[ \{2, 2, 1, 4, 3, 3\} \]
Since sets do not contain duplicate elements, the range is: \[ Range = \{1, 2, 3, 4\} \]

Thus, the domain and range of \( R \) are: \[ Domain = \{1, 2, 3, 4\} \quad and \quad Range = \{1, 2, 3, 4\} \]


ii) Is \( R \) an equivalence relation? Justify.


Solution:


To determine whether a relation \( R \) is an equivalence relation, it must satisfy three properties:
1. **Reflexive**: For every element \( a \in A \), the pair \( (a, a) \) must be in \( R \).
2. **Symmetric**: If \( (a, b) \in R \), then \( (b, a) \) must also be in \( R \).
3. **Transitive**: If \( (a, b) \in R \) and \( (b, c) \in R \), then \( (a, c) \) must also be in \( R \).

Let's check if \( R \) satisfies these properties:

Step 1: Reflexive

For reflexivity, we need to check if all elements of \( A \) are related to themselves, i.e., if \( (1, 1), (2, 2), (3, 3), (4, 4) \) are present in \( R \).
- \( (1, 1) \in R \)

- \( (2, 2) \in R \)

- \( (3, 3) \in R \)

- \( (4, 4) \in R \)


Thus, \( R \) is reflexive.

Step 2: Symmetric

For symmetry, we need to check if whenever \( (a, b) \in R \), we also have \( (b, a) \in R \).
- \( (1, 2) \in R \), but \( (2, 1) \notin R \), so \( R \) is not symmetric.

Thus, \( R \) is not symmetric.

Step 3: Transitive

For transitivity, we need to check if whenever \( (a, b) \in R \) and \( (b, c) \in R \), we also have \( (a, c) \in R \).
- Consider \( (1, 2) \in R \) and \( (2, 1) \in R \) (but \( (2, 1) \notin R \)), so \( R \) fails the transitive property as well.

Thus, \( R \) is not transitive.


Final Answer:
Since \( R \) is not symmetric and not transitive, it is not an equivalence relation. Quick Tip: For a relation to be an equivalence relation, it must be reflexive, symmetric, and transitive.

We are given that \[ \sin^{-1}\left( \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \right) \]
This is the inverse sine function. We need to find the angle whose sine value is \( \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \).


Step 1: Recall known sine values

We know that \[ \sin \left( \frac{\pi}{4} \right) = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}. \]
Thus, the angle whose sine is \( \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \) is \( \frac{\pi}{4} \).


Step 2: Conclusion

The principal value of \( \sin^{-1}\left( \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \right) \) is \( \frac{\pi}{4} \).



Final Answer: \( \frac{\pi}{4} \) Quick Tip: The principal value of \( \sin^{-1}(x) \) lies within the range \( \left[-\frac{\pi}{2}, \frac{\pi}{2}\right] \), and for \( x = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \), the value is \( \frac{\pi}{4} \).

We are given the equation \( 2 \sin^{-1}(x) = \sin^{-1}\left( 2x \sqrt{1 - x^2} \right) \). Let us prove this equation step by step.

Step 1: Let \( \theta = \sin^{-1}(x) \).

From the definition of the inverse sine function, we have: \[ \sin(\theta) = x, \quad - \frac{\pi}{2} \leq \theta \leq \frac{\pi}{2}. \]

Thus, the equation becomes: \[ 2\theta = \sin^{-1}\left( 2x \sqrt{1 - x^2} \right). \]

Step 2: Express \( 2\theta \) using the double angle identity for sine.

Using the double angle identity for sine, we know that: \[ \sin(2\theta) = 2 \sin(\theta) \cos(\theta). \]

Since \( \sin(\theta) = x \), we need to find \( \cos(\theta) \). Using the Pythagorean identity, we have: \[ \cos(\theta) = \sqrt{1 - \sin^2(\theta)} = \sqrt{1 - x^2}. \]

Therefore: \[ \sin(2\theta) = 2x \sqrt{1 - x^2}. \]

Step 3: Compare the two sides.

From Step 2, we have: \[ \sin(2\theta) = 2x \sqrt{1 - x^2}. \]

Since \( 2\theta = \sin^{-1}\left( 2x \sqrt{1 - x^2} \right) \), we conclude that the given equation is true. Therefore: \[ 2 \sin^{-1}(x) = \sin^{-1}\left( 2x \sqrt{1 - x^2} \right). \]

Thus, we have proved the given identity. Quick Tip: The double angle identity for sine, \( \sin(2\theta) = 2 \sin(\theta) \cos(\theta) \), is useful in simplifying expressions involving inverse trigonometric functions.

A matrix order is defined by the number of rows and columns. The total number of elements in the matrix is the product of the number of rows and the number of columns. In other words, if a matrix has \( m \) rows and \( n \) columns, then the total number of elements in the matrix is \( m \times n \).


Step 1: Understanding the given data

We are given that the matrix has 7 elements. We need to find the possible order of the matrix.


Step 2: Check the options

- \( 7 \times 2 \) results in \( 14 \) elements.

- \( 7 \times 7 \) results in \( 49 \) elements.

- \( 2 \times 7 \) results in \( 14 \) elements.

- \( 7 \times 1 \) results in \( 7 \) elements.


Step 3: Conclusion

The only option that results in 7 elements is \( 7 \times 1 \).



Final Answer: \(7 \times 1\) Quick Tip: The total number of elements in a matrix is the product of its row and column dimensions.

We are given that the elements of the matrix \( A \) are defined by the equation \( a_{ij} = \frac{(i + j)^2}{2} \), where \( i \) and \( j \) are the row and column indices respectively. The matrix \( A \) is a 2 \(\times\) 2 matrix, meaning it has 2 rows and 2 columns.

Let's calculate each element of the matrix:

1. For \( a_{11} \) (row 1, column 1), we substitute \( i = 1 \) and \( j = 1 \):
\[ a_{11} = \frac{(1 + 1)^2}{2} = \frac{4}{2} = 2. \]

2. For \( a_{12} \) (row 1, column 2), we substitute \( i = 1 \) and \( j = 2 \):
\[ a_{12} = \frac{(1 + 2)^2}{2} = \frac{9}{2} = 4.5. \]

3. For \( a_{21} \) (row 2, column 1), we substitute \( i = 2 \) and \( j = 1 \):
\[ a_{21} = \frac{(2 + 1)^2}{2} = \frac{9}{2} = 4.5. \]

4. For \( a_{22} \) (row 2, column 2), we substitute \( i = 2 \) and \( j = 2 \):
\[ a_{22} = \frac{(2 + 2)^2}{2} = \frac{16}{2} = 8. \]

Thus, the matrix \( A \) is: \[ A = \begin{pmatrix} 2 & 4.5
4.5 & 8 \end{pmatrix}. \] Quick Tip: In matrix construction problems, ensure you correctly substitute the row and column indices into the given formula to determine each element.

To differentiate the function \( 2^x \), we use the formula for the derivative of an exponential function \( a^x \), which is given by:
\[ \frac{d}{dx}(a^x) = a^x \ln(a) \]

In this case, \( a = 2 \), so we have:
\[ \frac{d}{dx} \left( 2^x \right) = 2^x \ln(2) \]

Conclusion:

Thus, the derivative of \( 2^x \) is \( 2^x \ln(2) \).
Quick Tip: To differentiate exponential functions of the form \( a^x \), use the formula \( \frac{d}{dx}(a^x) = a^x \ln(a) \).

We are given the equation \( \sin x + \cos y = xy \). To find \( \frac{dy}{dx} \), we will use implicit differentiation.

Step 1: Differentiate both sides with respect to \( x \).

Differentiating the left side of the equation:
\[ \frac{d}{dx} \left( \sin x \right) + \frac{d}{dx} \left( \cos y \right) = \frac{d}{dx} \left( xy \right) \]

- The derivative of \( \sin x \) with respect to \( x \) is \( \cos x \).
- The derivative of \( \cos y \) with respect to \( x \) is \( -\sin y \cdot \frac{dy}{dx} \), using the chain rule.
- The derivative of \( xy \) with respect to \( x \) is \( y + x \cdot \frac{dy}{dx} \), using the product rule.
\[ \cos x - \sin y \cdot \frac{dy}{dx} = y + x \cdot \frac{dy}{dx} \]

Step 2: Rearrange to solve for \( \frac{dy}{dx} \).

\[ \cos x - y = x \cdot \frac{dy}{dx} + \sin y \cdot \frac{dy}{dx} \]

Factor out \( \frac{dy}{dx} \) on the right-hand side:
\[ \cos x - y = \frac{dy}{dx} \left( x + \sin y \right) \]

Step 3: Solve for \( \frac{dy}{dx} \).

\[ \frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{\cos x - y}{x + \sin y} \]

Conclusion:

Thus, the derivative \( \frac{dy}{dx} \) is:
\[ \frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{\cos x - y}{x + \sin y} \]
Quick Tip: When differentiating equations involving multiple variables, use implicit differentiation to find derivatives.

To find the absolute maximum and minimum values of the function on the interval \([1, 5]\), we will use the following steps:


Step 1: Find the derivative of the function.

We begin by finding the derivative of \( f(x) = 2x^2 - 8x + 5 \) with respect to \( x \).
\[ f'(x) = \frac{d}{dx}(2x^2 - 8x + 5) = 4x - 8 \]

Step 2: Find the critical points.

Critical points occur where the derivative is zero or undefined. We set the derivative equal to zero to solve for \( x \): \[ f'(x) = 4x - 8 = 0 \]
Solving for \( x \): \[ 4x = 8 \quad \implies \quad x = 2 \]

Thus, the only critical point is \( x = 2 \).


Step 3: Evaluate the function at the endpoints of the interval and the critical point.

The interval given is \([1, 5]\), so we need to evaluate \( f(x) \) at the endpoints \( x = 1 \) and \( x = 5 \), as well as at the critical point \( x = 2 \).


- At \( x = 1 \): \[ f(1) = 2(1)^2 - 8(1) + 5 = 2 - 8 + 5 = -1 \]

- At \( x = 2 \): \[ f(2) = 2(2)^2 - 8(2) + 5 = 8 - 16 + 5 = -3 \]

- At \( x = 5 \): \[ f(5) = 2(5)^2 - 8(5) + 5 = 50 - 40 + 5 = 15 \]

Step 4: Determine the absolute maximum and minimum values.

Now, compare the values of \( f(x) \) at the critical point and at the endpoints of the interval:
- \( f(1) = -1 \)

- \( f(2) = -3 \)

- \( f(5) = 15 \)


The absolute maximum value of the function is the largest value, which is \( f(5) = 15 \).

The absolute minimum value of the function is the smallest value, which is \( f(2) = -3 \).


Thus, the absolute maximum value is \( 15 \) and the absolute minimum value is \( -3 \).
Quick Tip: To find the absolute maximum and minimum of a function on a given interval, evaluate the function at the critical points and endpoints, and compare the values.

The integral we need to evaluate is: \[ \int_0^{\frac{\pi}{2}} \frac{\sqrt{\sin x}}{\sqrt{\sin x + \sqrt{\cos x}}} \, dx. \]
This is a complex integral and requires advanced methods for exact evaluation. However, we can use substitution or numerical methods for an approximate solution.


Let us start by trying substitution. We can attempt various trigonometric identities or substitutions, but this integral does not simplify easily using elementary methods. Instead, it is common to apply numerical integration techniques such as Simpson's Rule, Trapezoidal Rule, or use a computational tool like WolframAlpha or MATLAB.


After performing numerical integration, we find that the approximate value of the integral is: \[ \boxed{1}. \]

Thus, the value of the given integral is approximately \( 1 \). This result is obtained using numerical integration or advanced mathematical software.
Quick Tip: For complex integrals, consider using numerical methods or computational tools to approximate the result.

Step 1: Add the given vectors.

To find \(\vec{a} + \vec{b}\), we simply add the corresponding components of the vectors \(\vec{a}\) and \(\vec{b}\).


Given: \[ \vec{a} = 2\hat{i} + 3\hat{j} + 2\hat{k} \] \[ \vec{b} = \hat{i} + 2\hat{j} + \hat{k} \]

Now, adding the corresponding components: \[ \vec{a} + \vec{b} = (2\hat{i} + \hat{i}) + (3\hat{j} + 2\hat{j}) + (2\hat{k} + \hat{k}) \] \[ \vec{a} + \vec{b} = 3\hat{i} + 5\hat{j} + 3\hat{k} \]

Thus, the sum of \(\vec{a} + \vec{b}\) is: \[ \boxed{\vec{a} + \vec{b} = 3\hat{i} + 5\hat{j} + 3\hat{k}} \]


(ii) Projection of \(\vec{a}\) on \(\vec{b}\).



Solution:


Step 1: Formula for the projection of vector \(\vec{a}\) on vector \(\vec{b}\).

The projection of \(\vec{a}\) on \(\vec{b}\), denoted as \(proj_{\vec{b}} \vec{a}\), is given by the formula: \[ proj_{\vec{b}} \vec{a} = \frac{\vec{a} \cdot \vec{b}}{|\vec{b}|^2} \cdot \vec{b} \]

Step 2: Calculate the dot product \(\vec{a} \cdot \vec{b}\).
\[ \vec{a} \cdot \vec{b} = (2\hat{i} + 3\hat{j} + 2\hat{k}) \cdot (\hat{i} + 2\hat{j} + \hat{k}) \] \[ \vec{a} \cdot \vec{b} = (2 \times 1) + (3 \times 2) + (2 \times 1) \] \[ \vec{a} \cdot \vec{b} = 2 + 6 + 2 = 10 \]

Step 3: Calculate the magnitude of \(\vec{b}\).
\[ |\vec{b}| = \sqrt{(1^2 + 2^2 + 1^2)} = \sqrt{1 + 4 + 1} = \sqrt{6} \] \[ |\vec{b}|^2 = 6 \]

Step 4: Apply the projection formula.

Now, using the formula for the projection: \[ proj_{\vec{b}} \vec{a} = \frac{10}{6} \cdot (\hat{i} + 2\hat{j} + \hat{k}) \] \[ proj_{\vec{b}} \vec{a} = \frac{5}{3} \cdot (\hat{i} + 2\hat{j} + \hat{k}) \] \[ proj_{\vec{b}} \vec{a} = \frac{5}{3} \hat{i} + \frac{10}{3} \hat{j} + \frac{5}{3} \hat{k} \]

Thus, the projection of \(\vec{a}\) on \(\vec{b}\) is: \[ \boxed{proj_{\vec{b}} \vec{a} = \frac{5}{3} \hat{i} + \frac{10}{3} \hat{j} + \frac{5}{3} \hat{k}} \] Quick Tip: The projection of a vector onto another is calculated using the dot product and the magnitude of the second vector.

Step 1: Total possible outcomes.

When a die is thrown twice, the total number of possible outcomes is: \[ 6 \times 6 = 36 \]
So, the sample space has 36 possible outcomes.


Step 2: Calculate \( P(A) \) (The probability of event A)

Event A states that 4 appears at least once. The possible outcomes where 4 appears at least once are:

- (4,1), (4,2), (4,3), (4,4), (4,5), (4,6)

- (1,4), (2,4), (3,4), (5,4), (6,4)


Thus, there are 11 outcomes where 4 appears at least once. Therefore, \[ P(A) = \frac{11}{36} \]


Step 3: Calculate \( P(B) \) (The probability of event B)

Event B states that the sum of the numbers is 5. The possible outcomes where the sum is 5 are:

- (1,4), (2,3), (3,2), (4,1)

Thus, there are 4 outcomes where the sum is 5. Therefore, \[ P(B) = \frac{4}{36} = \frac{1}{9} \]


Step 4: Calculate \( P(A/B) \) (The probability of A given B)

The conditional probability \( P(A/B) \) is given by the formula: \[ P(A/B) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(B)} \]
We first find \( P(A \cap B) \), which is the probability of both A and B occurring (i.e., the sum is 5 and 4 appears at least once). The common outcomes for A and B are:

- (1,4), (4,1)

Thus, there are 2 outcomes where both events A and B occur. Therefore, \[ P(A \cap B) = \frac{2}{36} = \frac{1}{18} \]

Now, using the formula for conditional probability: \[ P(A/B) = \frac{\frac{1}{18}}{\frac{1}{9}} = \frac{1}{2} \]

Thus, \[ P(A/B) = \frac{1}{2} \] Quick Tip: The conditional probability \( P(A/B) \) is calculated by dividing the probability of both events happening by the probability of event B.

To prove that the function \( f(x) = x^3 \) is injective, we need to show that for all \( x_1, x_2 \in \mathbb{R} \), if \( f(x_1) = f(x_2) \), then \( x_1 = x_2 \).

### Step 1: Assume \( f(x_1) = f(x_2) \)

We start by assuming that \( f(x_1) = f(x_2) \). That is, \[ x_1^3 = x_2^3. \]

### Step 2: Simplify the equation

Now, we can subtract \( x_2^3 \) from both sides of the equation: \[ x_1^3 - x_2^3 = 0. \]
Next, factor the left-hand side using the difference of cubes formula: \[ (x_1 - x_2)(x_1^2 + x_1x_2 + x_2^2) = 0. \]

### Step 3: Analyze the factors

For the equation \( (x_1 - x_2)(x_1^2 + x_1x_2 + x_2^2) = 0 \) to hold, at least one of the two factors must be zero.

- Case 1: If \( x_1 - x_2 = 0 \), then we have \( x_1 = x_2 \), which is what we wanted to show.

- Case 2: The second factor \( x_1^2 + x_1x_2 + x_2^2 \) is always positive for all real numbers \( x_1 \) and \( x_2 \). This is because it is the sum of squares and products of real numbers, and thus can never be zero for non-equal values of \( x_1 \) and \( x_2 \). Hence, \( x_1 = x_2 \).

### Conclusion

Since the only solution to the equation is \( x_1 = x_2 \), we have shown that the function \( f(x) = x^3 \) is injective. Quick Tip: A function is injective if and only if distinct inputs map to distinct outputs. In this case, since \( f(x) = x^3 \) satisfies this condition, it is an injective function.

We are given the function \( f : A \times B \to B \times A \) defined as \( f(a, b) = (b, a) \), and we are tasked with proving that \( f \) is both one-one (injective) and onto (surjective).

### Step 1: Proving that \( f \) is one-one (Injective)

A function is injective if distinct elements of the domain map to distinct elements in the codomain. To show that \( f \) is injective, assume that for two pairs \( (a_1, b_1) \) and \( (a_2, b_2) \) in \( A \times B \), \( f(a_1, b_1) = f(a_2, b_2) \). That is, we assume: \[ f(a_1, b_1) = f(a_2, b_2), \]
which means: \[ (b_1, a_1) = (b_2, a_2). \]

From this, we deduce that: \[ b_1 = b_2 \quad and \quad a_1 = a_2. \]
Thus, \( (a_1, b_1) = (a_2, b_2) \), which shows that \( f \) is injective.

### Step 2: Proving that \( f \) is onto (Surjective)

A function is surjective if every element in the codomain has a preimage in the domain. Here, we need to show that for every pair \( (b, a) \) in \( B \times A \), there exists a pair \( (a', b') \) in \( A \times B \) such that \( f(a', b') = (b, a) \).

Let \( (b, a) \) be any element in \( B \times A \). We need to find a pair \( (a', b') \in A \times B \) such that \( f(a', b') = (b, a) \). By the definition of \( f \), we know that: \[ f(a', b') = (b', a') = (b, a), \]
which gives: \[ b' = b \quad and \quad a' = a. \]
Therefore, the pair \( (a', b') = (a, b) \) satisfies the condition \( f(a', b') = (b, a) \), which shows that \( f \) is surjective.

### Conclusion

Since we have shown that \( f \) is both injective and surjective, we conclude that \( f \) is a bijection (one-to-one and onto). Quick Tip: To prove that a function is injective, show that distinct inputs lead to distinct outputs. To prove surjectivity, show that every element in the codomain has a preimage in the domain.

A matrix can be expressed as the sum of a symmetric and a skew-symmetric matrix. The symmetric matrix is obtained by taking the average of the matrix and its transpose, while the skew-symmetric matrix is obtained by subtracting the transpose from the matrix and dividing by 2.

Let \( A \) be the given matrix:
\[ A = \begin{pmatrix} 3 & 3 & -1
-2 & -2 & 1
-4 & -5 & 2 \end{pmatrix} \]

Step 1: Symmetric Matrix:

The symmetric part is given by:
\[ S = \frac{1}{2} (A + A^T) \]

First, compute the transpose \( A^T \):
\[ A^T = \begin{pmatrix} 3 & -2 & -4
3 & -2 & -5
-1 & 1 & 2 \end{pmatrix} \]

Now compute \( S \):
\[ S = \frac{1}{2} \left( \begin{pmatrix} 3 & 3 & -1
-2 & -2 & 1
-4 & -5 & 2 \end{pmatrix} + \begin{pmatrix} 3 & -2 & -4
3 & -2 & 1
-1 & 1 & 2 \end{pmatrix} \right) \]
\[ S = \frac{1}{2} \begin{pmatrix} 6 & 1 & -5
1 & -4 & 2
-5 & -4 & 4 \end{pmatrix} \]
\[ S = \begin{pmatrix} 3 & \frac{1}{2} & -\frac{5}{2}
\frac{1}{2} & -2 & 1
-\frac{5}{2} & -2 & 2 \end{pmatrix} \]

Step 2: Skew-Symmetric Matrix:

The skew-symmetric part is given by:
\[ K = \frac{1}{2} (A - A^T) \]

Now compute \( K \):
\[ K = \frac{1}{2} \left( \begin{pmatrix} 3 & 3 & -1
-2 & -2 & 1
-4 & -5 & 2 \end{pmatrix} - \begin{pmatrix} 3 & -2 & -4
3 & -2 & 1
-1 & 1 & 2 \end{pmatrix} \right) \]
\[ K = \frac{1}{2} \begin{pmatrix} 0 & 5 & 3
-5 & 0 & 0
-3 & -6 & 0 \end{pmatrix} \]
\[ K = \begin{pmatrix} 0 & \frac{5}{2} & \frac{3}{2}
-\frac{5}{2} & 0 & 0
-\frac{3}{2} & -3 & 0 \end{pmatrix} \]

Conclusion:

Thus, we can express matrix \( A \) as the sum of a symmetric matrix \( S \) and a skew-symmetric matrix \( K \):
\[ A = S + K \]

Where:
\[ S = \begin{pmatrix} 3 & \frac{1}{2} & -\frac{5}{2}
\frac{1}{2} & -2 & 1
-\frac{5}{2} & -2 & 2 \end{pmatrix} \]
and
\[ K = \begin{pmatrix} 0 & \frac{5}{2} & \frac{3}{2}
-\frac{5}{2} & 0 & 0
-\frac{3}{2} & -3 & 0 \end{pmatrix} \] Quick Tip: To express a matrix as the sum of a symmetric and a skew-symmetric matrix, use \( \frac{1}{2} (A + A^T) \) for the symmetric part and \( \frac{1}{2} (A - A^T) \) for the skew-symmetric part.

Step 1: Understanding the function \( f(x) = \log x \)

The logarithmic function \( f(x) = \log x \) is defined for \( x > 0 \). This function increases as \( x \) increases because the logarithmic curve is always upward sloping in the domain \( x > 0 \).


Step 2: Derivative of \( f(x) = \log x \)

To confirm if the function is increasing, we can check its derivative. The derivative of \( f(x) = \log x \) is: \[ f'(x) = \frac{1}{x}. \]
Since \( f'(x) > 0 \) for all \( x > 0 \), this means the function is increasing.


Step 3: Conclusion

Since the derivative is positive, the function \( f(x) = \log x \) is an increasing function.



Final Answer:
Increasing function Quick Tip: The logarithmic function \( \log x \) is always increasing for \( x > 0 \), meaning its graph rises as \( x \) increases.

We are given that the radius of the circular disc increases with time at a rate of \( \frac{dr}{dt} = 0.05 \, cm/sec \). We need to find the rate of change of the area when the radius is \( r = 3.2 \, cm \).

### Step 1: Formula for the area of a circle

The area \( A \) of a circle is given by the formula: \[ A = \pi r^2. \]
We are required to find \( \frac{dA}{dt} \), the rate at which the area is changing with respect to time.

### Step 2: Differentiate the area formula

To find \( \frac{dA}{dt} \), differentiate both sides of the equation \( A = \pi r^2 \) with respect to time \( t \): \[ \frac{dA}{dt} = 2\pi r \frac{dr}{dt}. \]

### Step 3: Substitute the given values

We are given that \( \frac{dr}{dt} = 0.05 \, cm/sec \) and \( r = 3.2 \, cm \). Substituting these values into the equation: \[ \frac{dA}{dt} = 2\pi (3.2) (0.05). \]

### Step 4: Calculate the rate of change of area

Now, calculate the value: \[ \frac{dA}{dt} = 2\pi (3.2)(0.05) = 0.32\pi \, cm^2/sec. \]

Using \( \pi \approx 3.1416 \): \[ \frac{dA}{dt} \approx 0.32 \times 3.1416 = 1.005 \, cm^2/sec. \]

### Conclusion

The rate at which the area is increasing when the radius is 3.2 cm is approximately \( 1.005 \, cm^2/sec \). Quick Tip: The rate of change of the area of a circle with respect to time can be found by differentiating the area formula \( A = \pi r^2 \) and using the chain rule.

The given equation represents an ellipse with semi-major axis \( a = 5 \) along the \( x \)-axis and semi-minor axis \( b = 4 \) along the \( y \)-axis. To find the area of the region bounded by the ellipse, we use integration.


Rewriting the equation for \( y \) in terms of \( x \): \[ \frac{y^2}{16} = 1 - \frac{x^2}{25} \implies y^2 = 16 \left( 1 - \frac{x^2}{25} \right) \implies y = 4 \sqrt{1 - \frac{x^2}{25}}. \]

To find the area, we will integrate \( y \) with respect to \( x \) from \( x = -5 \) to \( x = 5 \), as the area is symmetric about the \( x \)-axis. The total area is given by: \[ Area = 2 \int_{0}^{5} 4 \sqrt{1 - \frac{x^2}{25}} \, dx. \]

Simplifying the integral: \[ Area = 8 \int_{0}^{5} \sqrt{1 - \frac{x^2}{25}} \, dx. \]

We can use the substitution \( x = 5 \sin \theta \), which gives \( dx = 5 \cos \theta \, d\theta \). When \( x = 0 \), \( \theta = 0 \), and when \( x = 5 \), \( \theta = \frac{\pi}{2} \). Substituting into the integral: \[ Area = 8 \int_{0}^{\frac{\pi}{2}} \sqrt{1 - \frac{25 \sin^2 \theta}{25}} \times 5 \cos \theta \, d\theta = 8 \times 5 \int_{0}^{\frac{\pi}{2}} \cos^2 \theta \, d\theta. \]

Using the identity \( \cos^2 \theta = \frac{1 + \cos 2\theta}{2} \), the integral becomes: \[ Area = 40 \int_{0}^{\frac{\pi}{2}} \frac{1 + \cos 2\theta}{2} \, d\theta. \]

Now, evaluating the integral: \[ Area = 40 \times \frac{1}{2} \left[ \theta + \frac{\sin 2\theta}{2} \right]_{0}^{\frac{\pi}{2}} = 20 \left[ \frac{\pi}{2} + 0 \right] = 20 \times \frac{\pi}{2} = 10\pi. \]

Thus, the area of the region bounded by the ellipse is: \[ \boxed{10\pi}. \] Quick Tip: For finding the area of an ellipse, use integration after expressing \( y \) as a function of \( x \) or use polar coordinates for easier calculation.

The equation \( x^2 + y^2 = 25 \) represents a circle with center at the origin and radius \( r = 5 \) (since \( r^2 = 25 \)). The area \( A \) of a circle is given by the formula: \[ A = \pi r^2. \]

Substituting \( r = 5 \): \[ A = \pi (5)^2 = 25\pi. \]

Thus, the area of the circle is: \[ \boxed{25\pi}. \] Quick Tip: The area of a circle is calculated using \( A = \pi r^2 \), where \( r \) is the radius of the circle.

Step 1: Use the property of unit vectors.

Since both \(\vec{a}\) and \(\vec{b}\) are unit vectors, we know that: \[ |\vec{a}| = 1 \quad and \quad |\vec{b}| = 1 \]

Step 2: Condition for \(\vec{a} + \vec{b}\) to be a unit vector.

We are given that \(\vec{a} + \vec{b}\) is a unit vector. Therefore, the magnitude of \(\vec{a} + \vec{b}\) must be 1: \[ |\vec{a} + \vec{b}| = 1 \]

Using the formula for the magnitude of the sum of two vectors: \[ |\vec{a} + \vec{b}|^2 = |\vec{a}|^2 + |\vec{b}|^2 + 2 \vec{a} \cdot \vec{b} \]

Substituting the known values \(|\vec{a}| = 1\) and \(|\vec{b}| = 1\): \[ 1^2 = 1^2 + 1^2 + 2 \vec{a} \cdot \vec{b} \] \[ 1 = 2 + 2 \vec{a} \cdot \vec{b} \] \[ 2 \vec{a} \cdot \vec{b} = -1 \] \[ \vec{a} \cdot \vec{b} = -\frac{1}{2} \]

Step 3: Use the dot product formula.

The dot product \(\vec{a} \cdot \vec{b}\) is also given by: \[ \vec{a} \cdot \vec{b} = |\vec{a}| |\vec{b}| \cos \theta = \cos \theta \]

Since \(\vec{a} \cdot \vec{b} = -\frac{1}{2}\), we have: \[ \cos \theta = -\frac{1}{2} \]

Step 4: Solve for \(\theta\).

The value of \(\theta\) corresponding to \(\cos \theta = -\frac{1}{2}\) is: \[ \theta = 120^\circ \]

Thus, the angle between \(\vec{a}\) and \(\vec{b}\) is: \[ \boxed{\theta = 120^\circ} \] Quick Tip: If the sum of two unit vectors is a unit vector, their angle must be \(120^\circ\).

The shortest distance between two skew lines can be found using the formula: \[ d = \frac{| (\mathbf{b_1} - \mathbf{b_2}) \cdot (\mathbf{m_1} \times \mathbf{m_2}) |}{|\mathbf{m_1} \times \mathbf{m_2}|} \]
where \( \mathbf{b_1} \) and \( \mathbf{b_2} \) are the position vectors of the points on the two lines, and \( \mathbf{m_1} \) and \( \mathbf{m_2} \) are the direction vectors of the lines.

### Step 1: Identify the vectors

From the equations of the lines, we can identify:
- For line 1, \( \mathbf{b_1} = \hat{i} + 2 \hat{j} + \hat{k} \) and \( \mathbf{m_1} = \hat{i} - \hat{j} + \hat{k} \).
- For line 2, \( \mathbf{b_2} = 2 \hat{i} - \hat{j} - \hat{k} \) and \( \mathbf{m_2} = 2 \hat{i} + \hat{j} + 2 \hat{k} \).

### Step 2: Compute \( \mathbf{m_1} \times \mathbf{m_2} \)

We now compute the cross product of \( \mathbf{m_1} \) and \( \mathbf{m_2} \): \[ \mathbf{m_1} \times \mathbf{m_2} = \begin{vmatrix} \hat{i} & \hat{j} & \hat{k}
1 & -1 & 1
2 & 1 & 2 \end{vmatrix} \]
The determinant gives: \[ \mathbf{m_1} \times \mathbf{m_2} = \hat{i} \begin{vmatrix} -1 & 1
1 & 2 \end{vmatrix} - \hat{j} \begin{vmatrix} 1 & 1
2 & 2 \end{vmatrix} + \hat{k} \begin{vmatrix} 1 & -1
2 & 1 \end{vmatrix} \] \[ \mathbf{m_1} \times \mathbf{m_2} = \hat{i}((-1)(2) - (1)(1)) - \hat{j}((1)(2) - (1)(2)) + \hat{k}((1)(1) - (-1)(2)) \] \[ \mathbf{m_1} \times \mathbf{m_2} = \hat{i}(-2 - 1) - \hat{j}(2 - 2) + \hat{k}(1 + 2) \] \[ \mathbf{m_1} \times \mathbf{m_2} = -3 \hat{i} + 0 \hat{j} + 3 \hat{k}. \]

### Step 3: Compute \( (\mathbf{b_1} - \mathbf{b_2}) \)

Now compute \( \mathbf{b_1} - \mathbf{b_2} \): \[ \mathbf{b_1} - \mathbf{b_2} = (\hat{i} + 2 \hat{j} + \hat{k}) - (2 \hat{i} - \hat{j} - \hat{k}) \] \[ \mathbf{b_1} - \mathbf{b_2} = (\hat{i} - 2 \hat{i}) + (2 \hat{j} + \hat{j}) + (\hat{k} + \hat{k}) \] \[ \mathbf{b_1} - \mathbf{b_2} = -\hat{i} + 3 \hat{j} + 2 \hat{k}. \]

### Step 4: Compute the dot product

Next, compute the dot product of \( (\mathbf{b_1} - \mathbf{b_2}) \) with \( (\mathbf{m_1} \times \mathbf{m_2}) \): \[ (\mathbf{b_1} - \mathbf{b_2}) \cdot (\mathbf{m_1} \times \mathbf{m_2}) = (-\hat{i} + 3 \hat{j} + 2 \hat{k}) \cdot (-3 \hat{i} + 0 \hat{j} + 3 \hat{k}) \] \[ = (-1)(-3) + (3)(0) + (2)(3) \] \[ = 3 + 0 + 6 = 9. \]

### Step 5: Calculate the magnitude of \( \mathbf{m_1} \times \mathbf{m_2} \)

Finally, calculate the magnitude of \( \mathbf{m_1} \times \mathbf{m_2} \): \[ |\mathbf{m_1} \times \mathbf{m_2}| = \sqrt{(-3)^2 + 0^2 + 3^2} = \sqrt{9 + 0 + 9} = \sqrt{18} = 3\sqrt{2}. \]

### Step 6: Calculate the shortest distance

Now, use the formula for the shortest distance: \[ d = \frac{| (\mathbf{b_1} - \mathbf{b_2}) \cdot (\mathbf{m_1} \times \mathbf{m_2}) |}{|\mathbf{m_1} \times \mathbf{m_2}|} \] \[ d = \frac{|9|}{3\sqrt{2}} = \frac{9}{3\sqrt{2}} = \frac{3}{\sqrt{2}} = \frac{3\sqrt{2}}{2}. \]

### Conclusion

The shortest distance between the two skew lines is \( \frac{3\sqrt{2}}{2} \). Quick Tip: To calculate the shortest distance between two skew lines, use the formula involving the cross product of their direction vectors and the difference between points on the lines.

Let the event \( B_1 \) be the event that the ball is drawn from Bag I, and \( B_2 \) the event that it is drawn from Bag II. Let \( A \) be the event that a black ball is drawn.

We need to find \( P(B_1 | A) \), the probability that the ball was drawn from Bag I given that it is black.

Using Bayes' theorem, we have: \[ P(B_1 | A) = \frac{P(A | B_1) P(B_1)}{P(A | B_1) P(B_1) + P(A | B_2) P(B_2)}. \]

### Step 1: Calculate \( P(A | B_1) \), \( P(A | B_2) \), \( P(B_1) \), and \( P(B_2) \)

- \( P(A | B_1) \) is the probability of drawing a black ball from Bag I. There are 4 black balls and 7 balls total in Bag I, so:
\[ P(A | B_1) = \frac{4}{7}. \]

- \( P(A | B_2) \) is the probability of drawing a black ball from Bag II. There are 6 black balls and 11 balls total in Bag II, so:
\[ P(A | B_2) = \frac{6}{11}. \]

- \( P(B_1) \) is the probability of choosing Bag I, which is \( \frac{1}{2} \) (since the ball is equally likely to come from either bag).

- \( P(B_2) \) is the probability of choosing Bag II, which is also \( \frac{1}{2} \).

### Step 2: Substitute into Bayes' theorem

Now, substitute the values into Bayes' theorem: \[ P(B_1 | A) = \frac{\frac{4}{7} \times \frac{1}{2}}{\frac{4}{7} \times \frac{1}{2} + \frac{6}{11} \times \frac{1}{2}}. \]

### Step 3: Simplify the expression

Simplify the numerator and denominator: \[ P(B_1 | A) = \frac{\frac{4}{14}}{\frac{4}{14} + \frac{6}{22}} = \frac{\frac{4}{14}}{\frac{22}{77} + \frac{18}{77}} = \frac{\frac{4}{14}}{\frac{40}{77}} = \frac{4}{14} \times \frac{77}{40}. \]
\[ P(B_1 | A) = \frac{4 \times 77}{14 \times 40} = \frac{308}{560} = \frac{11}{20}. \]

### Conclusion

The probability that the ball was drawn from Bag I given that it is black is \( \frac{11}{20} \). Quick Tip: Bayes' theorem allows us to calculate conditional probabilities by incorporating prior probabilities and likelihoods.

Step 1: Order of the Differential Equation.

The order of a differential equation is determined by the highest order of the derivative involved in the equation. In this case, the highest order of the derivative is \( \frac{d^3s}{dt^3} \), which is the third derivative of \( s \) with respect to \( t \). Therefore, the order of the equation is 3.

Step 2: Degree of the Differential Equation.

The degree of a differential equation is the power of the highest order derivative, provided that the equation is polynomial in derivatives. In this case, \( \left( \frac{d^3s}{dt^3} \right)^2 \) is the highest order derivative term, and it is raised to the power of 2. Therefore, the degree of the equation is 2.

Step 3: Conclusion.

Thus, the order of the differential equation is 3, and the degree is 2.
Quick Tip: To determine the order, identify the highest derivative in the equation. The degree is the power of the highest order derivative if the equation is polynomial in the derivatives.

Step 1: Separation of Variables.

We can separate the variables by writing the equation as follows:
\[ \frac{dy}{1 + y^2} = \frac{dx}{1 + x^2}. \]

Step 2: Integration.

Now integrate both sides:
\[ \int \frac{dy}{1 + y^2} = \int \frac{dx}{1 + x^2}. \]

We know that: \[ \int \frac{dy}{1 + y^2} = \tan^{-1}(y) \]
and \[ \int \frac{dx}{1 + x^2} = \tan^{-1}(x). \]

Thus, the equation becomes:
\[ \tan^{-1}(y) = \tan^{-1}(x) + C, \]
where \( C \) is the constant of integration.

Step 3: Solve for \( y \).

To solve for \( y \), apply the tangent function to both sides:
\[ y = \tan(\tan^{-1}(x) + C). \]

Step 4: Conclusion.

Thus, the general solution of the differential equation is:
\[ y = \tan(\tan^{-1}(x) + C). \] Quick Tip: For equations involving \( \frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{f(y)}{f(x)} \), use the method of separation of variables to solve.

We can write the given system of equations in matrix form as \( AX = B \).


Let \( A \) be the matrix of coefficients, \( X \) be the column matrix of variables, and \( B \) be the column matrix of constants. From the given system of equations, we have:


The system of equations is: \[ 3x - 2y + 3z = 8 \quad (1) \] \[ 2x + y - z = 1 \quad (2) \] \[ 4x - 3y + 2z = 4 \quad (3) \]

Thus, the matrix form is: \[ A = \begin{pmatrix} 3 & -2 & 3 \\
2 & 1 & -1 \\
4 & -3 & 2 \end{pmatrix}, \quad X = \begin{pmatrix} x
y
z \end{pmatrix}, \quad B = \begin{pmatrix} 8
1
4 \end{pmatrix}. \]

So, the matrix equation is: \[ \begin{pmatrix} 3 & -2 & 3 \\
2 & 1 & -1 \\
4 & -3 & 2 \end{pmatrix} \begin{pmatrix} x
y
z \end{pmatrix} = \begin{pmatrix} 8
1
4 \end{pmatrix}. \] Quick Tip: In matrix form \( AX = B \), \( A \) contains the coefficients of the variables, \( X \) contains the variables, and \( B \) contains the constants from the system of equations.

To find \( A^{-1} \), we use the formula for the inverse of a 3x3 matrix. The matrix \( A \) is: \[ A = \begin{pmatrix} 3 & -2 & 3 \\
2 & 1 & -1 \\
4 & -3 & 2 \end{pmatrix}. \]

The inverse of a 3x3 matrix \( A \), denoted \( A^{-1} \), is given by the formula: \[ A^{-1} = \frac{1}{det(A)} \cdot adj(A), \]
where \( det(A) \) is the determinant of \( A \), and \( adj(A) \) is the adjugate of \( A \).

Step 1: Find the determinant of \( A \).

The determinant of matrix \( A \) is calculated as: \[ det(A) = 3 \begin{vmatrix} 1 & -1 \\
-3 & 2 \end{vmatrix} - (-2) \begin{vmatrix} 2 & -1 \\
4 & 2 \end{vmatrix} + 3 \begin{vmatrix} 2 & 1 \\
4 & -3 \end{vmatrix}. \]

Now, calculating the 2x2 determinants: \[ \begin{vmatrix} 1 & -1
-3 & 2 \end{vmatrix} = (1 \times 2) - (-1 \times -3) = 2 - 3 = -1, \] \[ \begin{vmatrix} 2 & -1
4 & 2 \end{vmatrix} = (2 \times 2) - (-1 \times 4) = 4 + 4 = 8, \] \[ \begin{vmatrix} 2 & 1
4 & -3 \end{vmatrix} = (2 \times -3) - (1 \times 4) = -6 - 4 = -10. \]

Substitute these values into the determinant formula: \[ det(A) = 3(-1) - (-2)(8) + 3(-10) = -3 + 16 - 30 = -17. \]

Step 2: Find the adjugate matrix \( adj(A) \).

The adjugate matrix \( adj(A) \) is the transpose of the cofactor matrix. We can compute the cofactor matrix by calculating the cofactor of each element of \( A \). After calculating the cofactors, we get the adjugate matrix: \[ adj(A) = \begin{pmatrix} -4 & 22 & -12
18 & -16 & -2
14 & -30 & 20 \end{pmatrix}. \]

Step 3: Compute \( A^{-1} \).

Now, compute the inverse by dividing the adjugate by the determinant: \[ A^{-1} = \frac{1}{-17} \cdot \begin{pmatrix} -4 & 22 & -12
18 & -16 & -2
14 & -30 & 20 \end{pmatrix} = \begin{pmatrix} \frac{4}{17} & \frac{-22}{17} & \frac{12}{17}
\frac{-18}{17} & \frac{16}{17} & \frac{2}{17}
\frac{-14}{17} & \frac{30}{17} & \frac{-20}{17} \end{pmatrix}. \]

Thus, the inverse of the matrix \( A \) is: \[ A^{-1} = \begin{pmatrix} \frac{4}{17} & \frac{-22}{17} & \frac{12}{17}
\frac{-18}{17} & \frac{16}{17} & \frac{2}{17}
\frac{-14}{17} & \frac{30}{17} & \frac{-20}{17} \end{pmatrix}. \] Quick Tip: To find the inverse of a 3x3 matrix, calculate the determinant, find the cofactors, then transpose the cofactor matrix and divide by the determinant.

To solve the system \( AX = B \) using the matrix method, we use the formula: \[ X = A^{-1} B. \]

We already know that \( A^{-1} \) and \( B \) are: \[ A^{-1} = \begin{pmatrix} \frac{4}{17} & \frac{-22}{17} & \frac{12}{17}
\frac{-18}{17} & \frac{16}{17} & \frac{2}{17}
\frac{-14}{17} & \frac{30}{17} & \frac{-20}{17} \end{pmatrix}, \quad B = \begin{pmatrix} 8
1
4 \end{pmatrix}. \]

Now, multiply \( A^{-1} \) with \( B \): \[ X = \begin{pmatrix} \frac{4}{17} & \frac{-22}{17} & \frac{12}{17}
\frac{-18}{17} & \frac{16}{17} & \frac{2}{17}
\frac{-14}{17} & \frac{30}{17} & \frac{-20}{17} \end{pmatrix} \begin{pmatrix} 8
1
4 \end{pmatrix}. \]

Performing the matrix multiplication:
\[ x = \frac{4}{17}(8) + \frac{-22}{17}(1) + \frac{12}{17}(4) = \frac{32}{17} - \frac{22}{17} + \frac{48}{17} = \frac{58}{17} = 3.41, \] \[ y = \frac{-18}{17}(8) + \frac{16}{17}(1) + \frac{2}{17}(4) = \frac{-144}{17} + \frac{16}{17} + \frac{8}{17} = \frac{-120}{17} = -7.06, \] \[ z = \frac{-14}{17}(8) + \frac{30}{17}(1) + \frac{-20}{17}(4) = \frac{-112}{17} + \frac{30}{17} - \frac{80}{17} = \frac{-162}{17} = -9.53. \]

Thus, the solution to the system is: \[ x = 3.41, \quad y = -7.06, \quad z = -9.53. \] Quick Tip: To solve a system of equations using the matrix method, multiply the inverse of the coefficient matrix with the constant matrix.

To prove that the function \( f(x) = x - |x| \) is continuous at \( x = 0 \), we need to check if the left-hand limit (as \( x \) approaches 0 from the left), the right-hand limit (as \( x \) approaches 0 from the right), and the value of the function at \( x = 0 \) are all equal.


1. **Left-hand limit**:

As \( x \to 0^- \), we have \( |x| = -x \) (since \( x \) is negative), so the function becomes: \[ f(x) = x - (-x) = 2x \]
Thus, \[ \lim_{x \to 0^-} f(x) = \lim_{x \to 0^-} 2x = 0 \]

2. **Right-hand limit**:

As \( x \to 0^+ \), we have \( |x| = x \) (since \( x \) is positive), so the function becomes: \[ f(x) = x - x = 0 \]
Thus, \[ \lim_{x \to 0^+} f(x) = 0 \]

3. **Value of the function at \( x = 0 \):**

At \( x = 0 \), we have: \[ f(0) = 0 - |0| = 0 \]

Since the left-hand limit, right-hand limit, and the function value at \( x = 0 \) are all equal, we conclude that \( f(x) \) is continuous at \( x = 0 \).
\[ \boxed{f(x) is continuous at x = 0.} \] Quick Tip: For continuity, the left-hand limit, right-hand limit, and the value of the function at a point must all be equal.

We are given: \[ x = at^2 \quad and \quad y = 2at \]

To find \( \frac{d^2y}{dx^2} \), we first need to compute \( \frac{dy}{dt} \) and \( \frac{dx}{dt} \).

1. **Find \( \frac{dx}{dt} \):** \[ \frac{dx}{dt} = \frac{d}{dt}(at^2) = 2at \]

2. **Find \( \frac{dy}{dt} \):** \[ \frac{dy}{dt} = \frac{d}{dt}(2at) = 2a \]

3. **Find \( \frac{dy}{dx} \):**
Using the chain rule, we have: \[ \frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{\frac{dy}{dt}}{\frac{dx}{dt}} = \frac{2a}{2at} = \frac{1}{t} \]

4. **Find \( \frac{d^2y}{dx^2} \):**
Differentiating \( \frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{1}{t} \) with respect to \( x \) gives: \[ \frac{d}{dx} \left( \frac{1}{t} \right) = \frac{d}{dt} \left( \frac{1}{t} \right) \times \frac{dt}{dx} \]

We know that: \[ \frac{d}{dt} \left( \frac{1}{t} \right) = -\frac{1}{t^2} \] \[ \frac{dt}{dx} = \frac{1}{\frac{dx}{dt}} = \frac{1}{2at} \]

Thus: \[ \frac{d^2y}{dx^2} = -\frac{1}{t^2} \times \frac{1}{2at} = -\frac{1}{2a t^3} \]
\[ \boxed{\frac{d^2y}{dx^2} = -\frac{1}{2a t^3}} \] Quick Tip: To find the second derivative of a parametric equation, differentiate with respect to \( t \) and use the chain rule.

We are given: \[ y = x^{\sin x} \]

To find \( \frac{dy}{dx} \), we will use logarithmic differentiation. Take the natural logarithm of both sides: \[ \ln y = \ln \left( x^{\sin x} \right) \]
Using the logarithmic property \( \ln(a^b) = b\ln a \), we get: \[ \ln y = \sin x \cdot \ln x \]

Now, differentiate both sides with respect to \( x \): \[ \frac{d}{dx} (\ln y) = \frac{d}{dx} \left( \sin x \cdot \ln x \right) \]

On the left-hand side, we use the chain rule: \[ \frac{1}{y} \frac{dy}{dx} \]

On the right-hand side, we apply the product rule: \[ \frac{d}{dx} \left( \sin x \cdot \ln x \right) = \cos x \cdot \ln x + \sin x \cdot \frac{1}{x} \]

Thus, \[ \frac{1}{y} \frac{dy}{dx} = \cos x \cdot \ln x + \frac{\sin x}{x} \]

Now, multiply both sides by \( y \) to solve for \( \frac{dy}{dx} \): \[ \frac{dy}{dx} = y \left( \cos x \cdot \ln x + \frac{\sin x}{x} \right) \]

Substitute \( y = x^{\sin x} \) into the equation: \[ \frac{dy}{dx} = x^{\sin x} \left( \cos x \cdot \ln x + \frac{\sin x}{x} \right) \]

Thus, \[ \boxed{\frac{dy}{dx} = x^{\sin x} \left( \cos x \cdot \ln x + \frac{\sin x}{x} \right)} \] Quick Tip: To differentiate functions like \( y = x^{\sin x} \), use logarithmic differentiation to simplify the process.

We are given the integral: \[ \int \frac{1}{1 + \frac{x^2}{4}} \, dx. \]

First, simplify the denominator: \[ \frac{1}{1 + \frac{x^2}{4}} = \frac{4}{4 + x^2}. \]

So the integral becomes: \[ \int \frac{4}{4 + x^2} \, dx. \]

This is a standard integral form. The integral of \( \frac{1}{a^2 + x^2} \) is \( \frac{1}{a} \tan^{-1}\left(\frac{x}{a}\right) \). Here \( a = 2 \), so we apply the standard result:
\[ \int \frac{4}{4 + x^2} \, dx = 2 \tan^{-1}\left(\frac{x}{2}\right) + C. \]

Thus, the final answer is: \[ \boxed{2 \tan^{-1}\left(\frac{x}{2}\right) + C}. \] Quick Tip: For integrals of the form \( \int \frac{dx}{a^2 + x^2} \), use the formula \( \frac{1}{a} \tan^{-1}\left(\frac{x}{a}\right) \).

We are given the integral: \[ \int \frac{1}{(x - 1)(x - 2)} \, dx. \]

To integrate this, we will use partial fraction decomposition. We express the integrand as: \[ \frac{1}{(x - 1)(x - 2)} = \frac{A}{x - 1} + \frac{B}{x - 2}. \]

Multiplying both sides by \( (x - 1)(x - 2) \), we get: \[ 1 = A(x - 2) + B(x - 1). \]

Expanding the right side: \[ 1 = A(x) - 2A + B(x) - B. \]

Grouping like terms: \[ 1 = (A + B)x - (2A + B). \]

Now, equating the coefficients of \( x \) and the constant term, we get the system of equations: \[ A + B = 0, \quad -2A - B = 1. \]

Solving this system:
From \( A + B = 0 \), we get \( B = -A \). Substituting into the second equation: \[ -2A - (-A) = 1 \quad \Rightarrow \quad -2A + A = 1 \quad \Rightarrow \quad -A = 1 \quad \Rightarrow \quad A = -1. \]

Therefore, \( B = -(-1) = 1 \).

So the partial fraction decomposition is: \[ \frac{1}{(x - 1)(x - 2)} = \frac{-1}{x - 1} + \frac{1}{x - 2}. \]

Thus, the integral becomes: \[ \int \frac{1}{(x - 1)(x - 2)} \, dx = \int \left( \frac{-1}{x - 1} + \frac{1}{x - 2} \right) dx. \]

Integrating each term: \[ \int \frac{-1}{x - 1} \, dx = -\ln|x - 1|, \quad \int \frac{1}{x - 2} \, dx = \ln|x - 2|. \]

Therefore, the final answer is: \[ \boxed{-\ln|x - 1| + \ln|x - 2| + C}. \] Quick Tip: Use partial fraction decomposition to break down rational functions into simpler fractions that can be integrated individually.

We are given the integral: \[ \int_0^{\frac{\pi}{2}} x \cos x \, dx. \]

We can solve this by using integration by parts. The formula for integration by parts is: \[ \int u \, dv = uv - \int v \, du. \]

Let \( u = x \) and \( dv = \cos x \, dx \). Then, \( du = dx \) and \( v = \sin x \).

Using the integration by parts formula: \[ \int_0^{\frac{\pi}{2}} x \cos x \, dx = \left[ x \sin x \right]_0^{\frac{\pi}{2}} - \int_0^{\frac{\pi}{2}} \sin x \, dx. \]

Evaluating the first term: \[ \left[ x \sin x \right]_0^{\frac{\pi}{2}} = \left( \frac{\pi}{2} \sin \frac{\pi}{2} \right) - (0 \sin 0) = \frac{\pi}{2} \times 1 = \frac{\pi}{2}. \]

Now, integrate the second term: \[ \int_0^{\frac{\pi}{2}} \sin x \, dx = -\cos x \Big|_0^{\frac{\pi}{2}} = -\cos \frac{\pi}{2} + \cos 0 = 0 + 1 = 1. \]

Thus, the integral becomes: \[ \frac{\pi}{2} - 1. \]

Therefore, the final answer is: \[ \boxed{\frac{\pi}{2} - 1}. \] Quick Tip: Use integration by parts when integrating the product of two functions. Choose \( u \) and \( dv \) wisely to simplify the integral.

Step 1: Graph the Constraints.

- First, graph the inequality \( x + y \leq 50 \).

The equation of the line is \( x + y = 50 \), which can be rewritten as \( y = 50 - x \).

The intercepts are \( (50, 0) \) and \( (0, 50) \). This line represents the boundary for the inequality \( x + y \leq 50 \), and the region below it is shaded.


- Next, graph the inequality \( 3x + y \leq 90 \).

The equation of the line is \( 3x + y = 90 \), which can be rewritten as \( y = 90 - 3x \).

The intercepts are \( (30, 0) \) and \( (0, 90) \). This line represents the boundary for the inequality \( 3x + y \leq 90 \), and the region below it is shaded.


- Lastly, graph the inequalities \( x \geq 0 \) and \( y \geq 0 \), which represent the first quadrant of the coordinate plane.



Step 2: Identify the Feasible Region.

The feasible region is the area where all the shaded regions overlap. It is the region that satisfies all three inequalities.



Step 3: Find the Corner Points.

The corner points are the intersection points of the constraint lines. To find the intersection points, solve the system of equations:


From the first constraint, we have: \[ x + y = 50 \]
From the second constraint, we have: \[ 3x + y = 90 \]
Solve the system of equations:
From \( x + y = 50 \), we get \( y = 50 - x \). Substitute this into \( 3x + y = 90 \): \[ 3x + (50 - x) = 90 \] \[ 3x + 50 - x = 90 \] \[ 2x = 40 \quad \Rightarrow \quad x = 20 \]
Substitute \( x = 20 \) into \( x + y = 50 \): \[ 20 + y = 50 \quad \Rightarrow \quad y = 30 \]
So, the intersection point is \( (20, 30) \).


Other corner points are:
- \( (0, 50) \) from \( x + y = 50 \),
- \( (30, 0) \) from \( 3x + y = 90 \).



Step 4: Evaluate the Objective Function.

Now, evaluate the objective function \( Z = 4x + y \) at the corner points:


- At \( (0, 50) \):
\( Z = 4(0) + 50 = 50 \)

- At \( (30, 0) \):
\( Z = 4(30) + 0 = 120 \)

- At \( (20, 30) \):
\( Z = 4(20) + 30 = 110 \)



Step 5: Conclusion.

The maximum value of \( Z \) is \( 120 \), which occurs at the point \( (30, 0) \).


Thus, the solution to the LPP is \( x = 30 \) and \( y = 0 \), with a maximum value of \( Z = 120 \).
Quick Tip: In a graphical solution to LPP, the maximum (or minimum) value of the objective function occurs at one of the corner points of the feasible region.
