tune vo eqn kaise solve ki distance ki??? differentiation seems too long 😞

vaise to directly even i thot mid pt shld d ans

koi alternate approach batao yaar iska

In a square PQRS, T is the midpoint of PQ and U is any variable point on QR. What is the minimum possible value of 창€˜SU + UT창€™ (in cm) if the side of the square is 2 cm?(a) 2_/2 (b) _/5 +_/2 (c) 1+2_/2 (d) _/13
@rachit_28 said:
Differentiation is not long bro,Let RU = x Then D = SU + UT = 4+x^2 + 1 + (4-x)^2dD/dx = 0 gives x = 1Put the value x=1 and find SU + UT and you are done
4-x
4+x

kaha se aaya :wow:

dude tune SU n UT ka square liya??? dis cant be done here, if it were min ST or UT u can bt here i dont think it's correct

Extremely sorry bhaiyo, blunder kar diya tha ...

how many integral slon are possible fora^2+2*b^2=1947
Crux of the problem: a must be of form 6k+/-1

clearly a has to be an odd number

also 1947 = 3*11*59
=> a cannot be multiple of 3, because in that case a^2 is a multiple of 9. And if a^2 is a multiple of 9 then b^2 must be a multiple of 3 but not a multiple of 9, which is not possible. Hence a must be of form 6k+/-1.

By same logic a cannot be a multiple of 11.

case1: a=6k+1

=>(6k+1)^2 + 2b^2 = 1947
max possible value of k can be k=7 as (6*7+1)^2 =1936 which is just less than 1947
so we try for k=1,2....7
only for k=6,7 we get b=17 and b=7 i.e (37,17) and (43,7)

case2: a = 6k-1

=>(6k-1)^2 + 2b^2 = 1947
again we try for k=1,2,..6,7
only for k=1 and k=6 we get b=31 and b=19 respectively => (5,31) and (35,19)

hence we get 4 solutions
(5,31),(35,19),(37,17) and (43,7)

now each one of them can be -ve (as each number gets squared).
so, from each ordered pair above, we can derive 4 solution (-ve,+ve), (+ve,-ve) and (-ve,-ve).

Hence total no. of integral solutions = 4*4 = 16.

ATDH.

take a projection of the square PQRS about the
edge QR
TU + US
= TU + US €™=TS'
=_/3^2+_/2^2=_/13
