Let (S, *) be an algebraic structure and a ∈ S. Assume that the inverse of a exists in S. It is to be proved that the inverse of a is unique. The existence of inverse in S ensures the existence of the identity element e in S.
Let a ∈ S. It is to be proved that the inverse a (if exists) is unique.
Suppose that a has two inverses, say a1, a2
Treating a1 as an inverse of a gives \(a * a_{1}=a_{1} * a=e\) ........(1)
Next treating a2 as the inverse of a gives \(a * a_{2}=a_{2} * a=e\) ........(2)
\(a_{1}=a_{1} * e=a_{1} *\left(a * a_{2}\right)=\left(a_{1} * a\right) * a_{2}=e * a_{2}=a_{2}(\text { by }(1) \text { and }(2))\)
So, a1= a2. Hence the inverse of a is unique which completes the proof.
2.
Let (S, *) be an algebraic structure. Assume that the identity element of S exists in S .
It is to be proved that the identity element is unique. Suppose that e1 and e2 be any two identity elements of S .
First treat e1 as the identity and e2 as an arbitrary element of S.
Then by the existence of identity property \(e_{2} * e_{1}=e_{1} * e_{2}=e_{2}\) ..........(1)
Interchanging the role of e1 and e2 \(e_{2}, e_{1} * e_{2}=e_{2} * e_{1}=e_{1}\) ..........(2)
From (1) and (2), e1 = e2. Hence the identity element is unique which completes the proof.
3.
Given u (x, y) = \(\frac { { x }^{ 2 }+{ y }^{ 2 } }{ \sqrt { x+y } } \)
\(u({ \lambda }x,{ \lambda }y)=\frac { { \lambda }^{ 2 }{ x }^{ 2 }+{ { \lambda } }^{ 2 }{ y }^{ 2 } }{ \sqrt { { \lambda }x+{ \lambda }y } } \)
= \(\frac { { { \lambda } }^{ 2 }({ x }^{ 2 }+{ y }^{ 2 }) }{ \sqrt { { \lambda } } (\sqrt { x+y } ) } \)
= \({ { \lambda } }^{ 2-\frac { 1 }{ 2 } }u(x,y)\)
= \({ { \lambda } }^{ \frac { 3 }{ 2 } }u(x,y)\)
∴ u (x, y) is a homogeneous function of degree \(\frac32\)
∴ By Euler's theorem,
\(x\frac { \partial u }{ \partial x } +y\frac { \partial u }{ \partial y } \) = n.u тЙН \(x\frac { \partial u }{ \partial x } +y\frac { \partial u }{ \partial y } =\frac { 3 }{ 2 } u\)
Hence, proved.
4.
(i) Given that five fair coins are tossed once. Since the coins are fair coins the probability of getting an head in a single coin is
\(p=\frac { 1 }{ 2 } \) and \(q=1-p=\frac { 1 }{ 2 } \)
Let X denote the number of heads that appear in five coins. X is binomial random variable that takes on the values 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 and \(p=\frac { 1 }{ 2 } \) That is \(X\sim B\left( 5,\cfrac { 1 }{ 2 } \right) \)
Therefore the binomial distribution is
\(f(x)=\left( \begin{matrix} n \\ x \end{matrix} \right) p*\left( 1-p \right) ^{ n-x }\), x = 0, 1, 2,..,n
becomes
\(f(x)=\left( \begin{matrix} 5 \\ x \end{matrix} \right) \left( \cfrac { 1 }{ 2 } \right) ^{ x }\left( \cfrac { 1 }{ 2 } \right) ^{ n-x }\), x = 0, 1, 2,..,5
That is
\(f(x)=\left( \begin{matrix} 5 \\ x \end{matrix} \right) \left( \cfrac { 1 }{ 2 } \right) ^{ n }\), x = 0, 1, 2...,n
(ii) A fair die is rolled ten times and X denotes the number of times 4 appeared. X is binomial
random variable that takes on the values 0, 1, 2, 3,...10 , with n = 10 and \(p=\cfrac { 1 }{ 6 } \). That is \(X\sim B\left( 10,\cfrac { 1 }{ 6 } \right) \)
Probability of getting a four in a die is \(p=\frac { 1 }{ 2 } \) and \(q=1-p=\frac { 5 }{ 6 } \)
Therefore the binomial distribution is
\(f(x)=\left( \begin{matrix} 10 \\ x \end{matrix} \right) \left( \cfrac { 1 }{ 6 } \right) ^{ x }\left( \cfrac { 5 }{ 6 } \right) ^{ 10-x }\) x = 0, 1, 2,...,10

5C2 p2q3 = 0.2048
5pq4 = 0.4096 .....(1)
10 p2 q3 = 0.2048 ....(2)
Dividing (2) by (1) we get
\(\cfrac { 5{ pq }^{ 4 } }{ 10{ p }^{ 2 }{ q }^{ 3 } } =2\)
q = 4p
q = 4(1- q)
q = 4 - 4q
5q = 4
q = 4/5
\(p=1-q= p=\frac { 1 }{ 5 } \)

Given E(X + 3) = 10
E(aX + b) = aE(X) + b
⇒ E(X) + 3 = 10
E(X) + 3 = 10

⇒μ = 7 ...(1)
E(X + 3)2 = 116
E(X2 + 6x + 9) 116
E(X2) + 6E(X) + 9 = 116 [роГ E(9) = 9]
E(X2) + 6(7) + 9 = 116
E(X2) + 116 - 42 - 9 116 - 51
E(X2) = 65 ...(2)
Var(X) = E(X2) - [E(X)2]
65 - 72 = 65 - 49 = 16
роГμ = 7 and σ2 = 16.

By (14), Linear approximation is given by
L (x, y, z) = U(x0, y0, z0) + \({ \frac { { \partial }U }{ { \partial x } } | }_{ { x }_{ 0 },{ y }_{ 0 },{ z }_{ 0 } }\) (x-x0)+\({ \frac { { \partial }U }{ { \partial y } } | }_{ { x }_{ 0 },{ y }_{ 0 },{ z }_{ 0 } }\) (y-y0)+\({ \frac { { \partial }U }{ { \partial z } } | }_{ { x }_{ 0 },{ y }_{ 0 },{ z }_{ 0 } }\) (z-z0)
Now Ux = 2x -y, Uy = -xand Uz = 3cos z.
Here (x0, y0, z0) = (2,−1,0 )
hence Ux (2, −1,0) = 5, Uy (2, −1,0) = −2 and Uz (2,-1,0) = 3.
Thus L(x, y, z) = 6 + 5(x − 2) − 2( y +1) + 3(z − 0) = 5x − 2y + 3z − 6 is the required linear approximation for U at (2,−1,0).

log10e = 0.4343 to find log10g 1003
f(1000) = log101000 = log10103 = 3log10103 = 3 log1010
= 3(1) = 3
f'(x) = \(\frac1x\). log10e
f'(1000) = \(\frac{1}{1000}\)(0.4343)
∴ L(x) = f(x0) f'(x0) (x - x0)
= 3 + \(\frac{1}{1000}\) (0.4343) (3)
= 3 + \(\frac{1.3029}{1000}\)
= 3 + 0.0013029
log101003 = 3.0013029

We know that volume of a sphere is given by V = \(\frac43\) π r3. where r > 0 is the radius. So the differential dV = 4 уЕаr2 dr and hence
Δ ≈ dv = 4π(10)2 (9.9-10) cm3
= 4π102 (-0.1) cm3
= −40π cm3
Note that we have used dr = (9.9 −10) cm, because radius decreases from 10 to 9.9. Again the negative sign in the answer indicates that the volume of the sphere decreases about 40π cm3.
10.
Let x be the number
Let y = f(x) = \(x^\frac{1}{n}\)
Then log y = \(\frac1n\) log x
Taking differential on both sides we get,
\(\frac { 1 }{ y } dy=\frac { 1 }{ n } \times \frac { 1 }{ x } dx\)
i.e. \(\frac { \Delta y }{ y } \simeq \frac { dy }{ y } =\frac { 1 }{ n } .\frac { dx }{ x } \)
\(\therefore \frac { \Delta y }{ y } \times 100\simeq \frac { 1 }{ n } \left( \frac { dx }{ x } \times 100 \right) \)
\(\simeq \frac { 1 }{ n } \) times the percentage error in the number. Hence, percentage error in the nth root of a number is approximately \(\frac1n\) times the percentage error in the number
11.
Given absolute error = 2%
⇒ \(\frac { dl }{ l } =2 \% =\frac { 2 }{ 100 } =0.02\)
Given T = 2уЕа\(\sqrt { \frac { 1 }{ g } } \)
Taking logarithm on both sides,
log T = log 2уЕа + \(\frac12\) log l - \(\frac12\) log g
Taking differential on both sides we get,
\(\frac{1}{T}dT=0+\frac{1}{2}.\frac{1}{l}.dl\)
\(\frac { \Delta T }{ T } =\frac { 1 }{ 2 } (.02)\)
\(\frac { \Delta T }{ T } =0\)
роГ Percentage error = \(\frac { \Delta T }{ T } \times100=.01\times100=1 \%\)
12.
Given \(f(x)=\begin{cases} \begin{matrix} kxe^{ -2x } & forx>0 \end{matrix} \\ \begin{matrix} 0 & for\quad x\le 0 \end{matrix} \end{cases}\)
Since the given function is a probability density function
\(\int _{ -\infty }^{ \infty }{ f(x)dx } \) = 1
\(\Rightarrow k\int _{ 0 }^{ \infty }{ { xe }^{ -2x }dx=1 } \)
\(\Rightarrow k \frac { 1! }{ \left( 2 \right) ^{ 2 } } =1\)
[\(\int _{ 0 }^{ \infty }{ { x }^{ n }e^{ -ax } } =\frac { n! }{ { a }^{ +1 } } \), Here a = 2, n = 1]
\(\Rightarrow \frac { k }{ 4 } =1\\ \Rightarrow k=4\)
13.
Volume of sphere = \(\frac43\)πr2
Given r = 10 cm
\(\frac{dr}{dt}\) = - 0.2
V = \(\frac43\)πr3
Change in Volume
= \(\frac{4}{\not 3} \pi . \not 3 r^{2} \frac{d r}{d t}\)
= 4π(10)2 (-0.2)
= 400 π (-0.2) = -80 πcm3
∴ Volume decreases by 80 π cm3
Surface area of sphere = 4πr2
Change 10 surrace area = 4 π2r\(\frac{dr}{dt}\)
= 8π(10) (-0.2)
= -\(\frac{80╧А\times2}{10}\) = -16 π cm2
∴ Surface area decreases by 16 π cm2
14.
Let f(x) = \(f(x)={ x }^{ \frac { 2 }{ 3 } },{ x }_{ 0 }=125,\triangle x=-2\)
∴ (123)\(\frac23\) = f(125) +1'(125) (-2) ... (1)
\(f(125)={ (125) }^{ \frac { 2 }{ 3 } }={ { (5 }^{ 3 }) }^{ \frac { 2 }{ 3 } }\) = 52 = 25
\({ f }^{ ' }(x)={ \frac { 2 }{ 3 } x }^{ \frac { 2 }{ 3 } -1 }={ \frac { 2 }{ 3 } x }^{ \frac { 1 }{ 3 } }=\frac { 2 }{ { 3x }^{ \frac { 1 }{ 3 } } } \)
\({ f }^{ ' }(125)=\frac { 2 }{ { 3(125)x }^{ \frac { 1 }{ 3 } } } =\frac { 2 }{ { 3{ (5 }^{ 3 } })^{ \frac { 1 }{ 3 } } } =\frac { 2 }{ 3(5) } =\frac { 2 }{ 15 } \)
∴ \({ (123) }^{ \frac { 2 }{ 3 } }=25+\frac { 2 }{ 15 } (-2)\)
\(=25-\frac { 4 }{ 15 } =25-0.27\)
\({ (123) }^{ \frac { 2 }{ 3 } }=24.73\)
