This discussion board is a place to discuss our Daily Challenges and the math and science related to those challenges. Explanations are more than just a solution — they should explain the steps and thinking strategies that you used to obtain the solution. Comments should further the discussion of math and science.

When posting on Brilliant:

  • Use the emojis to react to an explanation, whether you're congratulating a job well done , or just really confused .
  • Ask specific questions about the challenge or the steps in somebody's explanation. Well-posed questions can add a lot to the discussion, but posting "I don't understand!" doesn't help anyone.
  • Try to contribute something new to the discussion, whether it is an extension, generalization or other idea related to the challenge.
  • Stay on topic — we're all here to learn more about math and science, not to hear about your favorite get-rich-quick scheme or current world events.

All of are Very very Elementry Questions..... As Solution of 3rd is already posted by shashwat... So i give rest of 2

1) Let A=xi+yj+zk.B=ai+bj+ck.A.BABax+by+czpx2+y2+z2a2+b2+c2\displaystyle{\vec { A } =xi+yj+z\overset { . }{ k } \\ \vec { B } =ai+bj+c\overset { . }{ k } \\ \vec { A } .\vec { B } \le \left| \vec { A } \right| \left| \vec { B } \right| \\ \underbrace { ax+by+cz }_{ p } \le \sqrt { { x }^{ 2 }+y^{ 2 }+{ z }^{ 2 } } \sqrt { { a }^{ 2 }+{ b }^{ 2 }+{ c }^{ 2 } } }

2)- Clearly Such Question is tackle by using boundedness of function... LHS=tan2(x+y)+cot2(x+y)RHS=2(x+1)2LHS2&RHS2LHS=RHS=2x=1&tan2(x+y)=1y+1=nπ±π4y=(n±14)π1\displaystyle{LHS=\tan ^{ 2 }{ (x+y) } +\cot ^{ 2 }{ (x+y) } \\ RHS=2-{ (x+1) }^{ 2 }\\ LHS\ge 2\quad \& \quad RHS\le 2\\ \Rightarrow LHS=RHS=2\\ \therefore \boxed { x=-1 } \quad \& \quad \tan ^{ 2 }{ (x+y) } =1\\ \\ y+1=n\pi \pm \cfrac { \pi }{ 4 } \\ \boxed { y=(n\pm \cfrac { 1 }{ 4 } )\pi -1 } }

3) Let the number of heads that appear in a trial be nn.

Then there will be n+1n+1 'gaps' created.

Thus for a particular number of heads(=n), the number of ways of this happening will be equal to the number of solutions of the equation: x1+x2+x3...xn+1=10nx_{1}+x_{2}+x_{3}...x_{n+1}=10-n

(as after n heads occur, 10-n positions are left)

The two gaps at the 'end' of the sequence can have zero elements in them while the other gaps must contain at least one element as the heads are not consecutive.

Thus, we have to find the solutions of
x1+x2+x3...xn+1=2+10n=12nx_{1}+x_{2}+x_{3}...x_{n+1}=2+10-n=12-n

in the naturalnatural numbers.

The number of solutions is (11nn)\binom{11-n}{n}.

Now n can vary from 0 to 5 (as 11-n has to be greater than or equal to n)and thus we sum up all the corresponding number of solutions. This divided by 2102^{10} is the required probability

I did the same in the exam... I did not get the right answer :/ I guess I made some careless mistake. Also, this was a previous JEE problem right? It is there in archive...

Don't remember if this was in the archive...But I guess you must have miscalculated during the exam.

Shashwat Shukla - 6 years, 1 month ago

The answers are 1) p2a2+b2+c2\frac{p^2}{a^2+b^2+c^2} 2) x=1x=-1 3) 11.

Plz i want the solution.

Not sure about this, but couldn't you use Lagrange Multipliers for the first question? I thought of this since it is an optimization question with constraints. Haven't had time to try it though... @Ronak Agarwal @Shashwat Shukla

Sure, that would also work...But that would be tad bit lengthy. More importantly, the geometric interpretation is lost in the process.

@Shashwat Shukla Alright, thanks a lot!

User 123 - 6 years, 1 month ago

First question is very easy, the second equation can be considered as an equation of a plane in 3-D space, with x,y,z being the co-ordinate axes. You just have to find square of shortest distance of said plane from origin.

these problems are from some aiits... i will answer rest after lunch

Sorry Tanishq actually I am mobile hence unable to post long comments or solutions

My laptop is broken and I will keep it damaged till Jee Advanced.

Raghav do you give fiitjee aits, or aiits

Did you write AITS 8 (last Sunday)? How did it go for you?

Shashwat Shukla - 6 years, 1 month ago

@Shashwat Shukla Got 303/360 not good enough first paper went bad could get more in first paper surprisingly got 3 rd rank.

Did you write for AITS -7 last sunday

@Shashwat Shukla

Ronak Agarwal - 6 years, 1 month ago

@Ronak Agarwal 303 is a veryvery good score in my opinion especially as this is AITS.

Do you mean AITS-8?

Shashwat Shukla - 6 years, 1 month ago

@Shashwat Shukla I belive last paper was Fiitjee AITS Full Test -7 Advanced.

Surprisingly last AITS was not very tough.

Ronak Agarwal - 6 years, 1 month ago

@Ronak Agarwal Ahh...it was 7 after all...And yes, the paper this time was easier than the previous ones....But I made too many careless mistakes and am getting only about 250 :/

@Shashwat Shukla I also made many careless mistakes and that decreasedy score.

Ronak Agarwal - 6 years, 1 month ago

@Shashwat Shukla Okay tommorow's AITS too best of luck.

@Ronak Agarwal Good luck to you as well.

1) we can solve the problem by simply finding the distance of origin from the given line as given line is tangent to the equation of sphere.

3) Not a full solution But the number of cases are given by the Fibonacci recurrence relation. Let P(n) be the number of possibilities . We can have either a head or a tail at the end. If we have a tail then possibilities are P(n-1) and if we have a head then we certainly have a tail before it. so possibilities are P(n-2). Therefore we have the recuurence relation P(n) = P(n-1) + P(n-2) @Raghav Vaidyanathan
