If a*b denotes the larger of 'a' and 'b' and if a o b = (a*b) + 3, then write the value of (5) o (10), where and o are binary operations.

Solution

(5) o (10) = (5*10) + 3

 = 10 + 3 = 13

If the matrix A = 0a-320-1b10 is skew symmertic, find the values of 'a' and 'b'.

Solution

Given, A is skew-symmetric,

∴ (AT = - A)02ba01-3-100-a3-201-b-10Hence, a12 = -a21  a  = -2and a31 = - a13 b = 3

Find the value of tan-1 3 - cot-1 (-3)

Solution

tan-1 (3) -cot-1 (-3) = yas cot-1 (-x) = π - cot-1 x  y = tan-1 (3) - (π - cot-1(3)) = π3 - π - π6 = π3 -π + π6 = π2 -π = - π2

The total cost C(x) associated with the production of x units of an item is given by C(x) = 0.005x3 - 0.02 x2 + 30 x +5000. Find the marginal cost when 3 units are produced, whereby marginal cost we mean the instantaneous rate of total cost at any level of output.

Solution

Given,

C(x)  = 0.05x3 - 0.02 x2 + 30 x +5000

Marginal cost (CM),

ddx(C(x)) = 0.005x 3x2 - 0.02 x 2x + 30 x = 3CM = 0.005 x 3 x 9 - 0.02 x 2 x 3 + 30= 0.135 - 0.12 = 30.015
