## Asymptote — Breath Math

Asymptote is a straight line that continually approaches a given curve but does not meet it at any finite distance. A rational function has at most one horizontal asymptote or oblique (slant) asymptote, and possibly many vertical asymptotes. The degree of the numerator and degree of the denominator determine whether or not there are any horizontal or […]

## Principle of Mathematical Induction – Class XI – Exercise 4.1[Part 2] — Breath Math

11: Prove the following by using the principle of mathematical induction for all n€ N: 1/1.2.3 + 1/2.3.4 + 1/3.4.5 + … +1/n(n+1)(n+2) = n(n+3)/4(n+1)(n+2) Solution: Let the given statement be P(n), i.e., P(n): 1/1.2.3 + 1/2.3.4 + 1/3.4.5 + … +1/n(n+1)(n+2) = n(n+3)/4(n+1)(n+2) For n = 1, we have P(1): 1/1.2.3 = 1.(1+3)/4(1+1)(1+2) = […]

## Trigonometry Functions – Class XI -Exercise 3.1 — Breath Math

Find the radian measures corresponding to the following degree (i) 25˚ (ii) -47˚30’ (iii) 240˚ (iv) 520˚ Solution: (i) 25˚ We know that 180˚ = π radian 25˚ = π/180 x 25radian = 5π/36 radians (ii) -47˚30’ -47˚30’ = -471/2 = -95/2 degree -95/2 degree = π/180 x -95/2 radians = (-19/36×2) π radian = […]
