DEFINITIONS GALLERY
Define Direction cosines and Direction ratios of a line.
Direction cosines: If a directed'line makes angles 0,B,y with the 3 coordinate axes then
Sol:
Sol:
Jcosot, m=cosB, n=cosy are called the direction cosines (d.c’s) of the line.
Direction ratios : An ordered triple of numbers which are proportional to the d.c’s of a line,
is called the ‘direction ratios’ (d.r’s) of that line.
2] Write the equation of a plane in the normal form and explain the terms.
Sol: The equation of a plane in the normal form is /x+my-nz=p Here /,m,n denote the d.c's of the
normal’and p denotes the distance of the plane from the origin.
3] What is First principle?
Sol: _ First Principle: If f(x) is a derivable function for every x in its domain, then its derivative
is fxy= Le $+N= FO)
hoo h
4] What is differential of y?
Sol: The differential of y is denoted by dy and it is given by dy = f'(x)dx .
5] What is error, relative error and percentage error in y? xp ofl) Mg) for x x96 [a,b]
‘A real function f(x)is said to be a strictly decreasing function in an interval [a,b]
iff xy >xq = £(%)) AX Y)SHXg) Lor x xQ0 [0b]
What ls a monotonte fimetion?:
A function which is either increasing or decrensing is called a monotonic function,
Sok Apoint
in the domain of the funetion fis said to be a critic:
al point of the function fif either
'C)=0 or fc) does not exist,
M1} Define Stationary point of n funetion AP J-19)
Sol: A point x=c in the domain of the function Cis said to bea stationary point of y=ttx) if f'(c)-0
12] Define local maxima and local minima (or) What Is second derivative test?
Sol: Let lx) be a differentiable function in a Biven interval 1, n€ 1, C(x), Cx) exist at a then
(Ro) isn local maxima if P(a)e0, Pa)<0 Gi) fa) is a local minima if t(a)~0, e(ay>0
13] Define Rolles mean value theorem,
Rolle's Theorem:
fa function fx) is (® continuous on
n [a,b] (ii) derivable ‘on (a,b) and
then there exists ce (@.b) such that Fo)=0
1ous on (a,b) and
on (Gb) then there exists ce (a,b) such that %(c) = [b)= fay
(ii) derivable
