Questions in this section carry 1 mark each.
1. Evaluate ∫ x sin xdx .
Answer: ∫ x sin xdx = x∫ sin xdx −∫(d/dx (x) ∫sin xdx)dx
= −x cos x + ∫1×cos x dx
= −x cos x + sin x +C.
OR
Evaluate ∫sin3 x cos xdx .
Answer: Put sin x = t ⇒ cos xdx = dt
∫sin3 x cos xdx = ∫ t3 dt
= 1/4 t4+ C
=1/4 sin4 x + C.
2. Check if the function f : N → N defined by f (x) = 2 − 3x is one-one or not?
Answer: Let f (x1) = f (x2) for x1, x2 x ∈ N .
⇒ 2 −3x1 = 2 − 3x2
⇒ x1 = x2
Clearly, f (x) is one-one.

4. Find the direction cosines of a line which makes equal angles with the coordinate axes.
Answer: Given that α = β = γ , where α, β, γ are the direction angles made by the line with x, y, z-axes respectively.
As cos2 α + cos2 β + cos2 γ =1
⇒ 3cos2 α =1/3
⇒ cos2 α = 1/3
⇒ cos α = ± 1/√3
Therefore, the direction cosines of line are ± 1/√3 , ± 1/√3 ,± 1/√3

Answer:
26. Find the points on the curve y = x3 – 3x2 – 4x at which the tangent lines are parallel to the line
8x + 2y – 3 = 0 .
Answer: For y = x3 – 3x2 – 4x , we have
dy/dx = 3x2 – 6x – 4
Slope of tangent is ‘–4’ as tangent lines are parallel to 8x + 2y – 3 = 0 , whose slope is ‘–4’.
Note that the parallel lines have same slope.
That is, 3x2 – 6x – 4 = –4
⇒ 3x(x – 2) = 0
∴ x = 0 ; x = 2
Therefore, the required points on the curve are (0, 0); (2, – 12) .
