x2 - 3x - 2 = 0
x2 - 3x = 0 (Shifting the Constant to RHS)
x2 - 3x + \({ \left( \frac { 3 }{ 2 } \right) }^{ 2 }\) = 2 + \({ \left( \frac { 3 }{ 2 } \right) }^{ 2 }\) (Add [\(\frac {1}{2}\)(co-efficient of x)]2 to both sides)
\({ \left( x-\frac { 3 }{ 2 } \right) }^{ 2 }=\frac { 17 }{ 4 } \) (writing the LHS as complete square)
\(x-\frac { 3 }{ 2 } =\pm \frac { \sqrt { 17 } }{ 2 } \) (Taking the square root on both sides)
x = \(\frac { 3 }{ 2 } +\frac { \sqrt { 17 } }{ 2 } \) or x = \(\frac { 3 }{ 2 } -\frac { \sqrt { 17 } }{ 2 } \)
Therefore, x = \(\frac { 3+\sqrt { 17 } }{ 2 } , \frac { 3-\sqrt { 17 } }{ 2 } \)

Given points (- 3, - 4), (7, 2) and (12, 5)
Let the points be A (- 3, - 4),8 (2, 2) and C (12, 5)
Slope of a line = \(\frac{y_{1}-y_{2}}{x_{1}-x_{2}}\)
Slope of AB = \(\frac{-4-2}{-3-7}=\frac{-6}{-10}=\frac{3}{5}

Slope of BC = \(\frac{2-5}{7-12}=\frac{-3}{-5}=\frac{3}{5}

Given that, diameter d = 2.8 m and height = 3 m
radius r = 1.4 m
Area covered in one revolution = curved surface area of the cylinder
= 2\(\pi\)rh sq. units
\(2\times \frac { 22 }{ 7 } \times 1.4\times 3=26.4\)
Area covered in 1 revolution = 26.4 m2
Area covered in 8 revolutions = 8 x 26.4 = 211.2
Therefore, area covered is 211.2 m2
57.
First term = a = 20; common difference = d = 8
Arithmetic Progression is a, a + d , a + 2d , a + 3d,....
In this case , we get 20, 20 + 8, 20 + 2 (8), 20 + 3(8),....
So, the required A.P is 20, 28, 36, 44,....

f(x) = x2 - 2 where x \(\in \){ -2, -1, 0, 3}
(i) f( -2) = ( -2)2 - 2 = 2; f( -1) = ( -1)2 - 2 = -1
f(0) = (0)2 - 2 = - 2 ; f(3) = (3)2 - 2 = 7
Therefore, f = {(-2, 2), (-1, -1), (0, -2), (3, 7)}
(ii) We note that each element in the domain of f has a unique image. Therefore f is a function.

A and B represent points on the bank on opposite sides at the river, so that AB is the width of the river. P is a point on the bridge at a height of 3m i.e., DP = 3 m. We are interested to determine the width at the river which is the length at the side AB of the ΔAPB.
Now, AB = AD + DB
In right ΔAPD,
ㄥA = 30o
So, tan 30° = \(\frac { 1 }{ \sqrt { 3 } } =\frac { 3 }{ AD } \)
i.e., \(\frac { 1 }{ \sqrt { 3 } } =\frac { 3 }{ AD } \) (or) AD = 3\(\sqrt { 3 } \)
Also, in right ΔPBD,
B = 45o
So, BD = PD = 3m
Now, AB = BD + AD
= 3 + 3\(\sqrt { 3 } \) = 3(1+\(\sqrt { 3 } \))m
Therefore, the width at the river is 3(+\(\sqrt { 3 } \))m
63.
Radius of the cylinder be r

Let a natural number be x.
The next number = x + 1
x (x + 1) = 20
X2+x-20 = 0
(x + 5)(x - 4) = 0
x=-5,4
∴ x=4
(∵ x≠-5, x is a natural number
The next number = 4 + 1= 5
Two consecutive numbers are 4,5.
66.
Let the ten's digit of the number be x. It is given that the product of the digits is 12.
Unit's digit \(\frac{12}{x}\)
Number =10x+\(\frac{12}{x}\)
It 36 is added to the number the digits interchange their places.
\(\therefore 10x+\frac { 12 }{ x } +36=10\times \frac { 12 }{ x } +x\)
\(\Rightarrow 10x+\frac { 12 }{ x } +36=\frac { 120 }{ x } +x\)
\(\Rightarrow 9x-\frac { 108 }{ x } +36=0\)
⇒9x2 - 108 + 36x = 0
⇒X2+ 4x - 12 = 0
⇒ (x + 6)(x - 2) = 0 (∵ (x + 6) ≠ 0 as x >0)
x=-6,2
But a number can never be (-ve). So, x = 2. The
number is 10x2+\(\frac{12}{2}\)=26

Here a = 24, d = 21-24 = -3, Sn = 78. We need to find n.
We know that,
Sn= \(\frac{n}{2}\) (2a + (n - 1)d)
78 = \(\frac{n}{2}\) 48 + (n -1)(-3))
78 = \(\frac{n}{2}\) 2(51-3n)
or 3n2 - 51n + 156 = 0
n2 -17n + 52 = 0
(n - 4)(n - 13) = 0
n = 4 or 13
The number of terms are 4 or 13.
68.
Here S14 = 1050
n = 14
a = 10
Sn = \(\frac{n}{2}\) 2(2a + (n -1)d)
1050 = \(\frac{14}{2}\)(20 + 13d)
= 140 + 91d
910 = 91d
d = 10
a20 = 10 + (20 - 1) x 10
= 20
∴ 20th term = 200.

A = {1,2,3,4,5}
B = {1,2,3,4, ... }
f: A \(\rightarrow\)B, f(x) = x2
\(\therefore\) f(1) = 12 = 1
f(2) = 22= 4
f(3) = 32 = 9
f(4) = 42= 16
f(5) = 52= 25
\(\therefore\) Range of f = {1, 4, 9, 16, 25}
Elements in A have been connected with different elements in B. Therefore it is one-one function. But not all the elements in B have preimages in A. Therefore it is not on-to function.

Since the given points are collinear, the area a the triangle formed by them must be 0, i.e.,

= \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 } \) [-4k] = 0
k = 0
Area of ΔABC
= \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 } \)[2(0 + 3) + 4(-3 - 3) + 6(3 - 0)] = 0
71.
It is both one-one and onto function

All the elements in A have their separate images in B. All the elements in B have their preimage in A. Therefore it is one-one and onto function.

a = b
Equation of the line in intercepts form is

a = -4
b = -4
Equation of the straight line is
\(\frac{x}{a}+\frac{y}{b}=1

\(\frac{x}{-4}+\frac{y}{-4}=1

x + y + 4 = 0.
