WAH WAH kya bola :P

Itna kyun khush ho gaye bhai ??? chalo ye solve karo

Find the least value of x² + 4y² + 9z², if x + y + z = 14

@amresh_maverick said:
If a , b, and c are the roots of 2x^3+4x^2 -3x-1=0 find tha value of (1-a)(1-b)(1-c)
1 ?

a + b + c = -4/2
ab + bc + ca = -3/2
abc = 1/2

(1 - a)(1 - b)(1 - c) = 1 - (a + b + c) -abc + ab +bc + ca = 1 - (-4/2) -1/2 - 3/2 = 6 - 4/2 = 1
@amresh_maverick said:
OA =1x^2 + px +3=0 if roots are two successive odd natural nos, find the value of p ?
-4 ?

x^2 + px + 3 = 0
x^2 + 3x + x + 3 = 0
(x + 3)(x + 1) = 0
x = -3,-1

firstly horror flick h 😛 :P
secondly, Apologies

see, .. 2n+1, 2n+3 lo.
product of both should be.. 3

(2n+1)(2n+3)=3
4n^2 + 8n +3=3
or 4n(n+2)=0
n=0,-2
roots can be -1,-3. or 1,3

2n+1+2n+3=-p
4n+4=-p
putting n=0.. p=-4 (roots 1,3)
putting n=-2 ..p=4 (roots, -1,-3... yeh wala daala tha uppar. but this is not the answer as roots has to be odd natural number.)

P.S : deleted the post to show how i did. hit n trial se bhi ho sakta h. :)
@ChirpiBird Horror movie dekhni hai toh GRUDGE ya WOMEN IN THE BLACK dekho.. warna NUMBER 26 is also good :P
@mailtoankit said:
-4 ?x^2 + px + 3 = 0x^2 + 3x + x + 3 = 0(x + 3)(x + 1) = 0x = -3,-1
i think roots 1,3 hone chahiye na.. odd natural numbers cannot be negative integers.
moreover isse p=4 ayega.

p = sum of roots.
but eq mein +p h.
so when u write the eq it'll be -p=-3-1
or p=4. :)
correct me if i am wrong

bhai OA kya hai?
@iLoveTorres said:
bhai OA kya hai?
{x² + (2y)² + (3z)²}{1 + (1/2)² + (1/3)²} ≥{x + 2y(1/2) + 3z(1/3)}²
=> (x² + 4y² + 9z²)≥ (x + y + z)²/{1 + (1/2) + (1/3)}²
=> (x² + 4y² + 9z²)≥ 196/(49/36)
=> (x² + 4y² + 9z²)≥ 144

Cauchy-Schwarz inequality.

agar maximum value dhoondna hai toh wats the modification?
@iLoveTorres said:

No idea

but in this case
(x² + 4y² + 9z²)≥ 144
, its max value will be infinity

PS: sikhne ki badi lalak hai tumme, bahut upar jaaoge

When in need remember @scrabbler
Bhai yeh cauchy-schwarz inequality ko maximum dhoondne ke liye kya modification hai?

Bhai agar kuch sikha nahi toh kya paya? yeh toh aap sab ki kripa hai ki aap itne helpful hai.. baaki hum toh sirf aap ke madad se hi sikhte hai :)

There are 3 states and 3 students representing each state. In how many ways can 5 students be chosen such that at least one student is chosen from each state ?


PS: sabha yahi samapt hoti hai
