i)a_4=a+4d
a_14=a+14d
ii)\frac {a_5}{a}=\frac{a_{15}}{a_5}
\frac {a+4d}{a}= \frac {a+14d}{a+4d}
(a+4d)^2 = a(a+14d)
a^2 +8ad +16d^2 =a^2 +14ad
16d^2 =6ad
8d=3a
iii)r=\frac {a+4d}{a}=\frac {a+1.5a}{a}=\frac {2.5a}{a}=2.5

Son, if you really want something in this life, you have to work for it. Now quiet! They're about to announce the lottery numbers

i have a questions....
1) Find the sets of values of k for which the roots of the equation x^2+kx-k+3=0 are real and of the same sign.
2)Given that y=px^2+2qs+r, shows that y will have same sign for all real values of x if and only if q^2<pr.

can anyone explain this?

1)b^2-4ac=k^2-4*1*(-k+3)>0 and -k>sqrt(k^2-4*1*(-k+3))>0
k^2+4k-12=(k+6)(k-2)>0 so k>6 or k<-2 and k^2>k^2-4*1*(-k+3) so-k+3>0 so k<3

so k>6 or k<-2 anf k<3ie k<-2

")b^2-4ac<0 since y=0 has no roots
(3q)^2-4pr<0 so 4q^2<4pr so q^2<pr.

Q2) Prove this identity

1/cos(theta) + tan(theta) = cos(theta)/1-sin(theta)

first find x

sin-1 2/5 = 23.5

cos2 x = 0.84

and

tan2x = 0.19

just substitute and find it
---
next

(1/cos x + sinx/cosx) = (1+sinx/ cos x) * (1-sinx/1-sinx) = 1-sin2x/cosx - sinxcosx = cos2x/cosx-sinxcosx

= cos2x / cosx(1-sinx) = cosx/1-sinx

x = theta

LHS = RHS

hence proved

Q3)Given that the equation


[sin(theta) - cos(theta)]/[sin(theta)+cos(theta)] =6sin(theta)/cos(theta),

find the exact values of tan(theta).Hence find (theta) for 0<=(theta)<=360

adi how u got cos2=0.84? n same for tan?
