(b) Find the sum of the first n terms of the above sequence. (2)
Answer:
(a) an = 5n + 1
a1 = -5 + 1 = 6

Question 5.
Find the equation of the circles with radius 5 whose centres lie on the x-axis and passing through the point (2, 3). (3)
Answer:

Let C(h, 0) be the centre.
∴ CP = 5
⇒ \(\sqrt{(h-2)^2+(3-0)^2}\) = 5
⇒ \(\sqrt{(h-2)^2+9}\) = 5
⇒ (h – 2)2 + 9 = 25
⇒ (h – 2)2 = 16
⇒ h – 2 = ±4
⇒ h – 2 = 4 or h – 2 = -4
⇒ h = 6 or h = -2
If the centre is (6, 0), the equation of a circle is (x – 6)2 + y2 = 25
If the centre is (-2, 0), the equation of a circle is (x + 2)2 + y2 = 25

(b) f(x) = 2x – 5
f(0) = 2(0) – 5 = 0 – 5 = -5
Question 11.
Consider the statement
P(n): 1 + 3 + 32 + …… + 3(n-1) = \(\frac{3^n-1}{2}\)
(a) Show that P(1) is true. (1)
(b) Prove by the principle of Mathematical Induction that P(n) is true for all n ∈ N. (3)
Answer:
(a) P(1): 1 = \(\frac{3^{\prime}-1}{2}=\frac{3-1}{2}=\frac{2}{2}\) = 1
∴ P(1) is true.
(b) Let us assume thatp(n) is true for n = k
(i.e) P(k): 1 + 3 + 32 + ……. + 3k-1 = \(\frac{3^k-1}{2}\)
Now we have to prove that P(n) is true for n = k + 1

P(k + 1) is true.
∴ By the principle of Mathematical induction, P(n) is true for all n ∈ N.

(b) There are 9 ways to select units, 8 ways to select 10’s place, 7 ways to select 100’s place, and 6 ways to select 1000’s place.
∴ By fundamental principle of counting, required number of ways = 9 × 8 × 7 × 6 = 3024

Question 14.
The sum of the first three terms of a Geometric Progression is \(\frac{39}{10}\) and their product is 1. Find the common ratio and the terms of the Geometric Progression. (4)
Answer:
Let the terms be \(\frac{a}{r}\), a, ar
∴ \(\frac{a}{r}\) + a + ar = \(\frac{39}{10}\) ……….(1)
\(\frac{a}{r}\) . a . ar = 1 …….(2)
⇒ a3 = 1
⇒ a = 1
Substituting this in equation (1),
\(\frac{1}{r}\) + 1 + r = \(\frac{39}{10}\)
Multiplying throughout by ’10r’
⇒ 10 + 10r + 10r2 = 39r
⇒ 10r2 – 29r + 10 = 0
⇒ 10r2 – 25r – 4r + 10 = 0
⇒ 5r(2r – 5) – 2(2r – 5) = 0
⇒ (2r – 5)(5r – 2) = 0
⇒ r = \(\frac{5}{2}\) or r = \(\frac{2}{5}\)
If a = 1, r = \(\frac{5}{2}\) terms are \(\frac{2}{5}\), 1, \(\frac{5}{2}\)
If a = 1, r = \(\frac{2}{5}\) terms are \(\frac{5}{2}\), 1, \(\frac{2}{5}\)

Answer:
(a) y = 0
(b) (i) Slope = \(\frac{-A}{B}=\frac{-3}{2}\)
(ii) x intercept = \(\frac{-C}{A}=\frac{12}{3}\) = 4
y intercept = \(\frac{-C}{B}=\frac{12}{2}\) = 6

Answer:

Answer any 3 questions from 18 to 22. Each carries 6 scores. (3 × 6 = 18)
Question 18.
(a) Prove that \(\frac{\tan \left(\frac{\pi}{4}+x\right)}{\tan \left(\frac{\pi}{4}-x\right)}=\left(\frac{1+\tan x}{1-\tan x}\right)^2\). (3)
(b) Find the general solution for the equation cos 3x + cos x – cos 2x = 0. (3)
Answer:

(b) cos 3x + cos x – cos 2x = 0
⇒ 2 cos 2x . cos x – cos 2x = 0
⇒ cos 2x (2 cos x – 1) = 0
⇒ cos2x = 0 or 2 cos x – 1 = 0
Now, cos 2x = 0
⇒ 2x = (2n + 1)\(\frac{\pi}{2}\)
⇒ x = (2n + 1)\(\frac{\pi}{4}\); n ∈ Z
and, 2 cos x – 1 = 0
2 cos x = 1
cos x = \(\frac{1}{2}\)
cos x = cos\(\frac{\pi}{3}\)
x = 2nπ ± \(\frac{\pi}{3}\); n ∈ Z
