For symmetry, if (x, y) is in R, (y, x) must be; since y = x + 5, (5+x, x) is not in R, making it not symmetric. Transitivity is shown if (x, y), (y, z) in R implies (x, z), which fails since no such 'z' exists. Therefore, R is neither reflexive, symmetric, nor transitive.
For a point R dividing the line segment from P to Q externally in the ratio 1:2, the position vector R is given by (mQ - nP) / (m - n), where m:n is the ratio. With P = 2i + aj, Q = -3i + bj, m = 1, n = 2, R = (1*(-3i + bj) - 2*(2i + aj)) / (1 - 2) = (-3i + bj - 4i - 2aj) / -1 = (7i + (2a - b)j) / 1. Verify P is the midpoint of RQ by checking if RP = PQ.
The angle ∠ABC can be found by determining vectors BA = A - B = (2, 2, 3) and BC = C - B = (1, 1, 2). Use the dot product formula cosθ = (BA ⋅ BC) / (|BA||BC|) to find the angle. Calculate the dot product BA ⋅ BC = (2)(1) + (2)(1) + (3)(2) = 10, magnitudes |BA| = √17, |BC| = √6. Thus cosθ = 10 / (√17 * √6), and θ is given by cos^(-1) of this result.
The relation R = {(a, b): a ≤ b^3} is reflexive since for any a, it is true that a ≤ a^3 if a is non-negative. It is not symmetric; if a ≤ b^3, b ≤ a^3 does not necessarily follow. It is also not transitive because for (a, b), (b, c), a ≤ b^3, b ≤ c^3 doesn't imply a ≤ c^3 directly. Thus, R is reflexive but neither symmetric nor transitive.
Two vectors are perpendicular if their dot product is zero. The dot product of vectors a = 2i + 2j + 3k and b = -i + 2j + k is calculated as (2*-1) + (2*2) + (3*1) = -2 + 4 + 3 = 5, which is not zero. Thus, these vectors are not perpendicular.
To simplify the expression tan^(-1)(3√(x - a^2x^3 - 3a^3x^2)/(a (3√a))), factor out constants and use trigonometric identities where possible. Since a > 0, first express in terms of standard identities. Simplify within the domain of all real x using properties of tan^(-1) and the fact that √a, a are constants, focusing on simplifying the radicals and denominators using known a-values.
The area of a parallelogram formed by vectors a and b is given by the magnitude of their cross product. Calculate a × b = |i j k| |3 1 4| |-1 1 1|, resulting in |(1-4)i - (3+4)j + (3+1)k| = |-3i - 7j + 4k|. The area is √((-3)² + (-7)² + 4²) = √74.
The angle θ between vectors a and b is found using the formula cosθ = (a ⋅ b) / (|a||b|). Compute a ⋅ b = (3*-1) + (1*1) + (4*1) = -3 + 1 + 4 = 2. The magnitudes |a| = √(3² + 1² + 4²) = √26 and |b| = √((-1)² + 1² + 1²) = √3. Thus, cosθ = 2 / (√26 * √3), and θ can be determined using cosine inverse.
Three points are collinear if the vectors formed by any two pairs of these points are linearly dependent, meaning one vector is a scalar multiple of the other. Compute AB = B - A = (2-1, 6-2, 3-7) = (1, 4, -4) and BC = C - B = (3-2, 10-6, -1-3) = (1, 4, -4). Since BC = AB, these vectors are linearly dependent, proving that points A, B, and C are collinear.
An equivalence relation must satisfy reflexivity, symmetry, and transitivity. The relation R defined as R = {(x, y) : x and y have the same number of pages} on the set of books satisfies these properties because: for reflexivity, every book has the same number of pages as itself; for symmetry, if x has the same number of pages as y, then y has the same number of pages as x; and for transitivity, if x has the same number of pages as y, and y as z, then x has the same number as z. Thus, R is an equivalence relation on this set.
