Show that any positive odd integer is of the form (4q + 1) or (4q + 3), where q is a positive integer.
Let a be an positive odd integer, and let b = 4
By, using Euclid's division lemma,
a = 4q + r, where r is an integer such that, 0 ≤ r < 4
So, only four cases are possible
a = 4q or
a = 4q + 1 or
a = 4q + 2 or
a = 4q + 3
But 4q and 4q + 2 are divisible by 2, therefore these cases are not possible, as a is an odd integer.
Therefore,
a = 4q + 1 or a = 4q + 3.
Prove that (5 - √3) is irrational.
Let 5 - √3 be rational,
Then, 5 - √3 can be expressed as where, p and q are co-prime integers and
q ≠ 0,
we have,
As p and q are integers, 5q - p is also an integer
is a rational number.
But √3 is an irrational number, so the equality is not possible.
This contradicts our assumption, that 5 - √3 is a rational number.
Therefore, 5 - √3 is an irrational number.
Prove that is irrational.
Let be rational,
Then, can be expressed as where p and q are co-prime integers and
q ≠ 0,
we have,
As p and q are integers, 5p and 3q are also integers
is a rational number.
But √3 is an irrational number, so the equality is not possible.
This contradicts our assumption, that is a rational number.
Therefore, is an irrational number.
A man can row a boat at the rate of 4 km/hour in still water. He takes thrice as much time in going 30 km upstream as in going 30 km downstream. Find the speed of the stream.
Speed of boat in still water = 4 km/h
Let the speed of stream be 'x'
Therefore,
Speed of the boat upstream = Speed of boat in still water - Speed of stream = 4 - x
Speed of the boat downstream = Speed of boat in still water + Speed of stream = 4 + x
Time taken to go upstream
Time taken to go downstream
Given, time taken in upstream is thrice as in downstream
⇒ 4 + x = 12 - 3x
⇒ 4x = 8
⇒ x = 2
i.e. the speed of stream = x is 2 km/hour.
In a competitive examination, 5 marks are awarded for each correct answer, while 2 marks are deducted for each wrong answer. Jayant answered 120 questions and got 348 marks. How many questions did he answer correctly?
Let the number of correct answers = x
Let the number of wrong answers = y
Total no of questions attempted = x + y = 120
⇒ y = 120 - x ….[1]
Marks for each correct answer = 5
Marks for x correct answers = 5x
As 2 marks are deducted for each wrong question,
Marks deducted for y wrong answers = 2y
Total marks obtained by student will be 5x - 2y,
⇒ 5x - 2y = 348
⇒ 5x - 2(120 - x) = 348
⇒ 5x - 240 + 2x = 348
⇒ 7x = 588
⇒ x = 84
Hence, no of correct answers = x = 84

Now, any quadratic equation having α and β as zeroes will have the form
p(x) = x2 - (α + β)x + αβ
⇒ equation having α and β as zeroes will have the form
p(x) = x2 - (2α + 2β)x + (2α)(2β)
⇒ p(x) = x2 - 2(α + β)x + 4αβ
From [1] and [2]
Hence required equation is x2 + x - 12.

⇒ cos2θ + sin2θ + 2cosθsinθ = 2cos2θ
⇒ 2cosθsinθ = 2cos2θ - cos2θ - sin2θ
⇒ 2cosθsinθ = cos2θ - sin2θ
⇒ 2cosθsinθ = (cosθ - sinθ)(cosθ + sinθ)
⇒ 2cosθsinθ = (cosθ - sinθ)( √2 cosθ) [From [1]]

Let p(x) = 2x4 - 3x3 - 5x2 + 9x - 3 and two of its zeros are √3 and -√3. Find the other two zeros.
Two zeroes are √3 and -√3,
Therefore (x -√3)(x - (-√3) = (x - √3)(x + √3) is a factor of p(x).
Let us divide p(x) by (x - √3)(x + √3) = (x2 - 3)
⇒ (2x4 - 3x3 - 5x2 + 9x - 3) = (x2 - 3)(2x2 - 3x + 1)
= (x - √3)(x + √3)(2x2 - 2x - x + 1)
= (x - √3)(x + √3)(2x(x - 1) - 1(x - 1))
= (x - √3)(x + √3)(2x - 1)(x - 1)
Hence,
2x - 1 = 0 or x - 1 = 0
or x = 1
Hence, other two zeroes are or 1.

In ΔABC and ΔPQR
AB = PQ [Assumed]
BC = QR [Assumed]
AC = PR [Proved above]
⇒ ΔABC ≅ ΔPQR [By Side-Side-Side Criterion]

Solve for x and y:
ax + by-a + b = 0, bx-ay-a-b = O.
Eqn1 : ax + by - a + b = 0
⇒ ax + by = a - b
Multiplying both side by b
⇒ abx + b2y = ab - b2 …[1]
Eqn2 : bx - ay - a - b = 0
⇒ bx - ay = a + b
Multiplying both side by a
⇒ abx - a2y = a2 + ab …[2]
Subtracting [2] from [1]
abx - a2y - (abx + b2y) = a2 + ab - (ab - b2)
⇒ abx - a2y - abx - b2y = a2 + ab - ab + b2
⇒ -y(a2 + b2) = a2 + b2
⇒ -y = 1
⇒ y = 1
Putting value of y in eqn1, we get
ax + b(-1) - a + b = 0
⇒ ax - b - a + b = 0
⇒ ax = a

Dividend 2 – Remainder = 1024 = Divisor × Quotient 2
Prime Factor of 1024 = 24 × 26

AD = 5 cm
DB = 8 cm
AC = 6.5 cm
DE ||BC
In ΔABC & ΔADE

Show that any positive odd integer is of the form (6q + 1) or (6q + 3) or (6q + 5), where q is some integer.
According to Euclid’s algorithm p = 6q + r
where r is any whole number 0< = r<6 and p is a positive integer
Since 6q is divisible by 2 so the value of r will decide whether it is odd or even.
Also since r<6 so only 6 cases are possible
For r = 1 , 3, 5 we get three odd numbers and for r = 0 , 2 , 4 we get three even numbers
So (6q + 1) , (6q + 3) & (6q + 5) represents positive odd integers .

Prove that (3 -√15) is irrational.
Let us assume (3 -√15 ) is rational
(Assume)
where a & b are integers (b≠0)
⇒
⇒
Now let’s solve the R.H.S. Of the above equation
Let
Squaring we get
In The above equation since 15 divides p2 so it must also divide p
so p is a multiple of 15
let p = 15k where k is an integer
Putting in Equation 1 the value of p we get
15q2 = 225k2
⇒ q2 = 15k2
Since 15 divides q2 so it must also divide q
so q is a multiple of 15
But this contradicts our previously assumed data since we had considered p & q has been resolved in their simplest form and they shouldn't have any common factors.
So √15 is irrational and hence
(3 -√15) is also irrational
Hence Proved
Prove that is irrational.
Let us consider to be rational
where a & b are integers (b≠0)
Rearranging we get
The R.H.S of the above expression is a rational number since it can be expressed as a numerator by a denominator

⇒
⇒
Squaring both sides we get
2q2 = p2…Equation 1
Since 2 divides p2 so it must also divide p
so p is a multiple of 2
let p = 2k where k is an integer
Putting in Equation 1 the value of p we get
2q2 = 4k2
⇒ q2 = 2k2
Since 2 divides q2 so it must also divide q
so q is a multiple of 2
But this contradicts our previously assumed data since we had considered p & q has been resolved in their simplest form and they shouldn't have any common factors.
So √2 is irrational and hence
is also irrational
Hence Proved

Also From the Trigonometrical identities
sin2θ + cos2θ = 1
cosec2 θ = 1 + cot2 θ
sec2 θ = 1 + tan2 θ
⇒ 1 + 1 + cot2 θ + 2 + 1 + tan2 θ + 2
⇒ 7 + cot2 θ + tan2 θ
So, L.H.S = R.H.S

∠CGF + ∠GCF = 900 ….Equation 2
Combining Equation 1 & 2 We can say that
∠CGF = ∠DAE
Also ∠CFG = ∠DEA (Perpendicular Angles)
So ΔCGF is similar to ΔADE By A.A. (Angle Angle)axiom of similarity

Since x = √2 & - √2 is a solution so
x- √2 & x + √2 are two factors of p(x)
Multiplying the two factors we get x2-2 …Equation 1

To get the other two factors we need to perform long division
On performing long division we will get

Equation 2 is also a factor of p(x)
To find the other two zeroes of the polynomial we need to solve Equation 2
We use the method of factorization for solving Equation 2
2x2 + 7x -15 = 0
