Indian Statistical Institute ( ISI ) B.Math & B.Stat : Algebra

Indian Statistical Institute B.Math & B.Stat Solved Problems, Vinod Singh ~ Kolkata Let $a, b$ and $c$ be such that $a+b+c=0$ and \( P =\frac{a^2}{2a^2+bc}+\frac{b^2}{2b^2+ca}+\frac{c^2}{2c^2+ab}\) is defined. What is the value of $P$? $$$$ $Solution: $ \( 2a^2+bc = a^2 + a^2 -(a+c)c\), since $b=-(a+c)$. $$$$ \( \implies 2a^2+bc = a^2 + a^2 -ac-c^2 = (a-c)(a+c)+a(a-c) = (a-c)(2a+c)=(a-c)(2a-a-b)=(a-c)(a-b)\) $$$$ Therefore \( \frac{a^2}{2a^2+bc} = \frac{a^2}{(a-c)(a-b)}\) $$$$ Similarly, \( \frac{b^2}{2b^2+ac} = \frac{b^2}{(b-a)(b-c)} \) and \( \frac{c^2}{2c^2+ab} = \frac{c^2}{(c-a)(c-b)} \) $$$$ Therefore \( P = \frac{a^2}{(a-c)(a-b)} +\frac{b^2}{(b-a)(b-c)}+\frac{c^2}{(c-a)(c-b)} = \frac{1}{a-b} \big( \frac{a^2}{a-c} - \frac{b^2}{b-c} \big)+\frac{c^2}{(c-a)(c-b)}\) $$$$ \( \implies P = \frac{ab-ca-cb}{(c-a)(c-b)}+ \frac{c^2}{(c-a)(c-b)} = \frac{ab-ca-cb+c^2}{(c-a)(c-b)} = \frac{(c-a)(c-b)}{(c-a)(c-b)} = 1\)$$$$

Indian Statistical Institute B.Math & B.Stat Solved Problems, Vinod Singh ~ Kolkata If \( A = \int_{0}^{\pi} \frac{cos x}{(x+2)^2}dx\), then show that \( \int_{0}^{\frac{\pi}{2}} \frac{\sin x \cos x}{(x+1)}dx = \frac{1}{2} \big( \frac{1}{2} +\frac{1}{\pi+2} - A\big)\). $$$$ Solution: \( A = \cos x \int_{0}^{\pi} \frac{dx}{(x+2)^2} - \int_{0}^{\pi} \bigg( \frac{d}{dx} \cos x \int \frac{dx}{(x+2)^2} \bigg) dx \) $$$$ \( \implies A = \frac{-\cos x}{x+2}\mid_{0}^{\pi} - \int_{0}^{\pi} \frac{\sin x}{(x+2)} dx \) $$$$ \( \implies A = \frac{1}{\pi +2} + \frac{1}{2} - \int_{0}^{\pi} \frac{2 \sin \frac{x}{2} \cos \frac{x}{2} }{2(1+\frac{x}{2})} dx \) $$$$ Putting $\frac{x}{2}=t$ in the last integral, we have $dx=2dt$ and $t$ varies from $0$ to $\frac{\pi}{2}$ $$$$ Therefore, \( A = \frac{1}{\pi +2} + \frac{1}{2} - 2 \int_{0}^{\frac{\pi}{2}} \frac{\sin t \cos t}{(1+t)}dt \)$$$$ \( \implies \int_{0}^{\frac{\pi}{2}} \frac{\sin t \cos t}{(1+t)}dt = \frac{1}{2} \bigg( \frac{1}{\pi +2} + \frac{1}{2} -A \bigg) \) $$$$ \( i.e., \) \( \int_{0}^{\frac{\pi}{2}} \frac{\sin x \cos x}{(1+x)}dx = \frac{1}{2} \bigg( \frac{1}{\pi +2} + \frac{1}{2} -A \bigg) \) $$$$

Indian Statistical Institute B.Math & B.Stat Solved Problems, Vinod Singh ~ Kolkata Let $a, b, c$ be real numbers greater than $1.$ Let $S$ denote the sum $S = log_{a}{bc} + log_{b}{ca} + log_{c}{ab}.$ $$$$ Find the smallest possible value of $S.$ $$$$ \( S =log_{a}{\frac{abc}{a}} + log_{b}{\frac{bca}{b}} + log_{c}{\frac{abc}{c}} = log_{a}{abc} + log_{b}{abc} + log_{c}{abc}-3 \) $$$$ \( = log_{a}{e} \times log_{e}{abc} + log_{b}{e} \times log_{e}{abc} + log_{c}{e} \times log_{e}{abc}-3 \) $$$$ \( = log_{e}{abc} \bigg( \frac{1}{log_{e}{a}} +\frac{1}{log_{e}{b}}+\frac{1}{log_{e}{c}} \bigg) -3 \) $$$$ \( = (log_{e}{a}+log_{e}{b}+log_{e}{c}) \bigg( \frac{1}{log_{e}{a}} +\frac{1}{log_{e}{b}}+\frac{1}{log_{e}{c}} \bigg) -3 \) $$$$ Now Using the inequality $A.M \times H.M \geq n^2 $ for $n$ positive real numbers, we see that $$$$ \( (log_{e}{a}+log_{e}{b}+log_{e}{c}) \bigg( \frac{1}{log_{e}{a}} +\frac{1}{log_{e}{b}}+\frac{1}{log_{e}{c}} \bigg) \geq 3^2 = 9 \) $$$$ Thus \( S \geq 9-3 = 6 \). Note \( log_{e}{a},log_{e}{b},log_{e}{c} \) are all positive since $a,b,c > 1$.

Indian Statistical Institute ( ISI ) B.Math & B.Stat : Algebra

Indian Statistical Institute B.Math & B.Stat Solved Problems, Vinod Singh ~ Kolkata Show that the polynomial $x^8 − x^7 + x^2 − x + 15$ has no real root. $$$$ Let $f(x)=x^8 − x^7 + x^2 − x + 15$, we will show that $f(x) >0$ for all $ x \in \mathbb{R}$. $$$$ \( f(x) = x^7(x-1)+x(x-1)+15 = (x-1)x(x^6+1)+15 \) $$$$ Now, \(\mathbb{R} = (- \infty , 0] \cup (0,1] \cup (1, \infty) \). Note that \( f(0)=f(1)=15\) $$$$ When $ x \in (1, \infty), $ \( x,x-1 \quad and \quad x^6+1 > 0 \implies f(x) > 15 \quad \forall \quad x \in (1, \infty)\) $$$$ When $ x \in (- \infty , 0), $ \( x \quad and \quad x-1 < 0 \quad thus \quad x(x-1) > 0\) since $x^6+1 > 0$ for any $x$, $f(x) > 15$ in this case too. $$$$ When $ x \in (0,1) $, $1 < x^6+1 < 2$ and $ 0 < x < 1 $. Since both of them are positive $ 0 < x(x^6+1) < 2$. Further $ -1 < x-1 < 0 $, thus $x(x-1)(x^6+1) < 0$. Again $|x-1| < 1$ this implies $ -2 < x(x-1)(x^6+1) < 0 $. Thus \(f(x) > 13 > 0\). $$$$ Combining all the cases we see that \( f(x) > 0 \quad \forall \quad x \in \mathbb{R} \) which shows $f(x)$ has no real root.

Indian Statistical Institute ( ISI ) B.Math & B.Stat : Number Theory

Indian Statistical Institute B.Math & B.Stat Solved Problems, Vinod Singh ~ Kolkata Consider the equation $x^2 + y^2 = 2007$. How many solutions $(x, y)$ exist such that $x$ and $y$ are positive integers? $$$$ \( 2007 = 2000 + 7 \equiv 0 + 3 \equiv 3 (mod \quad 4) \). Now we know that square on an integer is either divisible by $4$ or leaves a remainder $1$ when divided by $4$, said otherwise \( x \in \mathbb{Z} \implies x^2 \equiv 0 \quad or \quad 1 (mod \quad 4) \). Thus for integers $x$ and $y$, \( x^2+y^2 \equiv 0 \quad or \quad 1 \quad or \quad 2 (mod \quad 4) \). Since we have different remainders $mod \quad 4$ on the two sides, it follows there cannot be any solution in $\mathbb{Z}$ hence no solution in $\mathbb{Z^+}$

Indian Statistical Institute B.Math & B.Stat Solved Problems, Vinod Singh ~ Kolkata Let $z$ be a non-zero complex number such that \( |z −\frac{1}{z}| = 2.\) What is the maximum value of $|z|$? $$$$ Given \( 2 = |z −\frac{1}{z}| \geq \big||z|- |\frac{1}{z}|\big| \) $$$$ Let $t = |z|$ \( \implies \big|t- \frac{1}{t}\big| \leq 2 \) $$$$ \( \implies -2 \leq t- \frac{1}{t} \leq 2 \) $$$$ \( \implies -2t \leq t^2- 1 \leq 2t \) $$$$ \( \implies t^2 +2t- 1 \geq 0 \quad and \quad t^2 -2t- 1 \leq 0 \) $$$$ The first inequality gives \( t \in ( - \infty, -1-\sqrt{2}] \cup [\sqrt{2}-1, \infty)\). Since $t \geq 0$ \(\implies t \in [\sqrt{2}-1, \infty) \). $$$$ The second inequality gives \( t \in [1-\sqrt{2} , 1+\sqrt{2}] \). Again since $t \geq 0$ \(\implies t \in [0,1+\sqrt{2}] \) $$$$ Combining the two case we see \( t \in [\sqrt{2}-1,\sqrt{2}+1] \implies |z| \in [\sqrt{2}-1,\sqrt{2}+1] \). Thus the maximum value of $|z|$ is $\sqrt{2}+1$. $$$$ $Practice-Problem$ Let $z$ be a non-zero complex number such that \( |z +\frac{1}{z}| = a, a \in \mathbb{R^+}.\) What is the maximum and minimum value of $|z|$? $$$$
