If $y^2 = ax^2 +bx+c$, then $y^2 \dfrac{d^2y}{dx^2}$ is

  1. a constant function

  2. a function of x only

  3. a function of y only

  4. a function of both x and y

A Correct answer
Explanation

Differentiating y^2 = ax^2 + bx + c gives 2y*y' = 2ax + b. Differentiating again gives 2(y')^2 + 2y*y'' = 2a. Substituting y' = (2ax+b)/(2y) into the equation allows one to solve for y^2*y''. The result is a constant.

A Correct answer
Explanation

This is an integration problem involving parts. Integrating ln(1 + 1/x) = ln((x+1)/x) = ln(x+1) - ln(x) leads to the form provided. Comparing the result with the given expression identifies p(x).

Multiple choice business maths sets some functions and their graphs -i graphs of the form y=ax^2+bx+c introduction to sets

Let $\displaystyle f(x)=ax^{2}+bx+c,$ where $a,b,c$ are rational, and $f: Z\rightarrow Z,$ where $Z$ is the set of integers. Then $a+b$ is

  1. a negative integer

  2. an integer

  3. nonintegral rational number

  4. none of these

B Correct answer
Explanation

$f:Z \rightarrow Z$ is defined as $f(x)=ax^2+bx+c$

which implies for integer inputs, the function gives integer outputs.

$ \Rightarrow f(0)=c=Z _1$ ...(1) (where $Z _1$ is some integer)

Similarly, $f(1)=a+b+c=Z _2$ ...(2) (where $Z _2$ is some integer)

(2) - (1) gives $a+b =Z _2-Z _1$, which is also an integer.

  1. none relation

  2. 0 < c < b/2

  3. $\left| c \right| <\frac { \left| b \right| }{ \sqrt { 2 } } $

  4. $\left| c \right| >\sqrt { 2 } \left| b \right| $
