let the quadratic eq ax^2 +bx + c be such that a,b,c are distinct and each of a,b,c belong to {1,2,3.....n} such that x+1 divides ax^2+ bx +c.If such quad.polynomials are < 99,then max(n)=?

a)14  b)15   c)16   d)18   e)none  of these

Since, x+1 satisfies the equation ax^2+ bx+ c=0. Therefore, a(-1)^2+b(-1)+c=0. So, a - b+ c=0.
Now, a + c=b. Minimum value of b is 3. Number of quadratic equations will exceed 99 when b=12. So, the answer is none of these.

The number of non-negative integer solutions of a + b = c ---> c – 1C1 = c - 1. Therefore, number of solutions when c = 2, 3, 4, .., 15 = 1, 2, 3, 4, ... 14 = 105. Out of these we have to remove solutions where a and b are not distinct. it happens when c is even. The number of cases = 7. Therefore, total solutions = 105 - 7 = 98 and answer is b.

if y is an integer such that y>=4 and x=y*y -2y,then  largest number that  divides x*x-8x=?

If you substitute x=y2-2y into x2-8x you will obtain,

x2-8x = (y-4)(y-2)(y)(y+2)

If y is odd:

then x2-8x is divisible by 3

If y is even:

then it has to be divisible by 2 (4!) = 48

For the equation 4x2 - 2xy - 8x + y + 9 = 0, find the number of positive integral solutions.

Hi Tina,

Plese find the solution 

We want to find number of positive integral solutions for (x,y) 4x2 - 2xy - 8x + y + 9 = 0

=>4x- 8x + 9 = (2x - 1)y

=>y = (4x2 - 8x + 9)/(2x - 1) = (2x -3) + 6/(2x-1).

Only two values satisfy. (1,5), (2,3)

Hello Kinshuk !

 

a^19 + 17a - 19 = 0

a^19 = 19 -17a

similarly , b^19 = 19 - 17b ,

c^19 = 19 - 17c .....

So a^19 + b^19 + c^19 +....... = 19 - 17a + 19 - 17b + 19 - 17c +......

 

= 19 × 19 - 17 ( a+ b + c +....)

Sum of roots => 0

 

19 × 19 - 17 × 0 = 361.

The number of quadratic equation with leading coefficient 1 which are unchanged by squaring their roots is?

Hello Yamin , 

 

a and b are roots

So , a + b = a² + b²

and ab = a²b²

 

=> ab(ab - 1)

i) a = 0

=> b = 0 or 1

 

ii) b = 0

=> a = 0 or 1

iii) ab = 1

a + 1/a = a² + 1/a²

=> a⁴ - a³- a + 1 = 0

=> (a³ - 1)(a - 1) = 0

=> a = 1 or w or w²

=> b = 1 or w² or w

 

So, equation are x² = 0

x² - x= 0

x² - 2x + 1 = 0  and x² + x + 1 = 0 

 

4 such equations.

If the roots of x^2 - 2ax + a^2 + a -3  are real and less than 3 then

A. a is less than two

B.  a lies between 2 and 3

C. a is greater than 4

TG Team 26/07/2018 6:12 pm

Hello Yamin, 

put x = 0  in the expression  x² - 2ax + a² + a - 3 

it reduces to

a² + a - 3 = 0 

a = -1/2 + (√13)/2 and -1/2 + √13/2 

Here roots are less than 2 hence option (B) and (C) got eliminated.

Hence , Option (A ) is the correct answer .

If eq x^3 - ax^2 + bx - a =0 has 3 real roots the what is true?

A. a=1

B. b=1

 

C. b not equal to 1

x³ - ax² + bx -a = 0 

x² ( x - a) + b ( x-a) = 0 

if , b = 1 , then the equation reduces to 

x²( x - a) + (x-a) = 0 

(x-a)(x² + 1) = 0 

it has one real root a and two imaginary roots . hence b ≠ 1 . 

Option C.

3x^2 + px + 3 has p greater tha 0. One root is square of other. Then what is the value of p?

TG Team 26/07/2018 5:51 pm

Hello Yamin,

Sum of roots = a + a² = -p/3 ..... (1) 

Product of the roots = a³ = 3/3 = 1 ... (2) 

a³ -1 = 0 

(a-1)( a² + a + 1 ) = 0 

(a-1) = 0 or ( a² + a + 1 ) = 0 

a² + a = - 1 

From equation (1)

-1 = -p/3 

p = 3  🙂

In what positive base b does 4×12=103 hold?

TG Team 26/07/2018 11:08 pm
This post was modified 6 years ago by TG Team

Hello Yamin, 

 

4 × 12 = 103

 

4× ( 1•b + 2) = 1•b² + 0•b + 3 

 

4b + 8 = b²+ 3 

 

b² - 4b - 5 = 0 

 

b² - 5b + b -5 = 0 

 

b ( b -5) + 1 ( b -5) = 0 

 

( b +1) ( b -5) = 0 

 

b = -1 or b = 5

 

b = -1 is inadmissible hence b = 5 .

X=2+2^2/3+2^1/3, then the value of x^3-6x^2+6x?

Hello Tarishi 

 

(x - 2) = 2⅔ + 2⅓ 

Cubing both sides 

(x - 2)³ =( 2⅔ + 2⅓ )³

 

 

= (2⅔)³ + ( 2⅓)³ + 3•2⅔• 2⅓( 2⅔ + 2⅓ )

 

[( a + b)³ = a³ + b³ + 3ab ( a + b )]

 

 

6 + 3 × 2(2⅔ + 2⅓) = 6 + 6(x - 2)

 

x³ - 8 - 6x² + 12x = 6 + 6x - 12

 

x³ - 6x²  + 6x = 6 - 12 + 8 = 2.

If the constant term of (2x-1/x)^n is -160 ! Find n

TG Team 31/07/2018 3:17 pm

Hello Tarishi , 

 

General term of (2x – 1/x) n   = nCr (2x)r (-1/x)(n-r)

= nCr (2r) (-1)(n-r) xr(1/x)(n-r)

Now ,
for constant term , power of x = 0

r = n – r

n = 2r

Constant Term = 2rCr2r (-1)r= - 160

r = 3 satisfies , Hence n = 2r = 6 .
