Let V=M2(R) denote the vector space 2x2 matrices with real entries over the field. Let T:V→V be defined by T(P) = Pt for any P∈V, where Pt is the transpose of P. If E is the matrix representation of T with respect to the standard basis of V the det(E) is equal to
If the Newton-Raphson method is applied to find a
real root of f(x) = 2x2 + x - 2 = 0 with initial approximation x0 = 1. Then the second approximation x2 is
If
$$
f(x) =
\begin{cases}
\dfrac{1}{|x|}, & |x| > 2 \\
A + Bx^2, & |x| \leq 2
\end{cases}
$$
Then $f(x)$ is differentiable at $x = -2$ for
(a) A = $\tfrac{3}{4}$ ,B = $-\tfrac{1}{16}$
(b) A = $-\tfrac{3}{4}$ , B = $\tfrac{1}{16}$
(c) A = $-\tfrac{3}{4}$ ,B = $-\tfrac{1}{16}$
(d) A = $\tfrac{3}{4}$, B = $\tfrac{1}{16}$
Let $Re(z)$ and $Im(z)$ be the real and imaginary parts of any complex number $z$, and $\arg(z)$ denotes the principal argument of $z$.
Let $z_1$ and $z_2$ be two distinct complex numbers such that
$\operatorname{Re}(z_1) = |z_1 - 2| \quad \text{and} \quad \operatorname{Re}(z_2) = |z_2 - 2|.$
If $\arg(z_1 - z_2) = \frac{\pi}{6},$ then
The condition for the line $x\cos\alpha+y\sin\alpha=p$ to touch the curve $\left(\dfrac{x}{a}\right)^3+\left(\dfrac{y}{b}\right)^3=1$ is $(a\cos\alpha)^t+(b\sin\alpha)^t=p^t$ where $t$ is equal to
