problem on scalar triple product stp of vectors

show that [axb bxc cxa] = [a b c]^2
where a,b,c are vectors




use the formula for crossproduct of four vectors


then use the property that if a vector is repeated  in an stp, then the value of the stp is zero

then use the property that interchange of vectors in an stp changes the sign of the stp.

to find the equation of the tangents that can be drawn from a given point to a given hyperbola in standard form

find the equation of the tangents from (1,2) to the hyperbola 2(x^2) -3(y^2) =6

 divide by the term on the rhs to reduce the given equation to standard form
extract the value of a and b
use the equation of the tangent to the hyperbola in standard form and use the values of a and b
use the condition that the tangent passes through the given point to form an equation in m and solve for m
and resubstitute

solving a fourth degree equation with real coefficients if you are given one of the imaginary roots

solving a fourth degree equation with real coefficients if you are given one of the imaginary roots

solve x^4 - 4 x^3  + 11 x^2  -14x +10 =0  given that  1+2i   is  one of the roots.

since the coefficients of the given equation are real, the complex roots will occur in conjugate pairs

so 1-2i is another root.

using this you can find a quadratic factor of the given fourth degree expression.

use long division or comparision of coeffecients to extract the other quadratic factor and solve it

checking consistency of equations using determinants

Solve using determinants (Cramers rule)

2x + 3y = 8

 4x + 6y = 16





n = 2 unknowns
r =1

n-r = 2-1 = 1

therefore one unknown can be chosen arbitrarily

put y = k  (arbitrary ) in the first equation  2x +3y =8

2x + 3k = 8

solving x = (8 - 3k) / 2


so solution is

x = (8 - 3k) / 2

y = k

where k is any number.
