Ques: If [{\cot ^{ - 1}}x] + [{\cos ^{ - 1}}x] = 0 then find the value of x, where [.] denotes the greatest integer function.

 Sol.
Since [.] gives the integer value and both the functions i.e. {\cot ^{ - 1}}x and {\cos ^{ - 1}}x are always greater than '0'.

 Therefore, sum of [{\cot ^{ - 1}}x] + [{\cos ^{ - 1}}x] = 0 when BOTH are '0'.

 STEPS : We separately find the interval of x for both the expression i.e. {\cot ^{ - 1}}x and {\cos ^{ - 1}}x  for which they are zero and then take the INTERSECTION of both the intervals.
1. First consider [{\cos ^{ - 1}}x] ,

 see the graph,

Clearly, from the graph,
[{\cos ^{ - 1}}x] = 0 , if \cos 1 < x \le 1 or x \in (\cos 1,1]  ..................... (1)

 2. Consider, [{\cot ^{ - 1}}x]

 understand the below graph,

 Clearly from the graph,
[{\cot ^{ - 1}}x] = 0 , if x > \cot 1 or x \in (\cot 1,\infty ) .................... (2)

 Now, we have to take the intersection of (1) and (2) i.e. to find the values of x for which both [{\cos ^{ - 1}}x] and
[{\cot ^{ - 1}}x] are '0'.

 so, x \in (\cot 1,\infty )\bigcap {(\cos 1,1]}

But to take intersection of these two intervals we have to find where these numbers viz. cos1, cot1 and 1 lie on number line.

 since, \cot 1 = \frac{{\cos 1}}{{\sin 1}} and we know that sin1 < 1
therefore, cot1 > cos1

 we know that from above graph cos1 < 1.

 consider the below graph of cot x,
when x = pi/4 , cot x = 1 , and if x = 1 , cot x = cot 1,
clearly cot 1 < 1
x \in (\cot 1,\infty )\bigcap {(\cos 1,1]}

therefore, x \in (\cot 1,1]

Fractional Part function

10. Fractional Part f(x) = {x}  Every number 'x' can be written as the sum of its integer and fractional parts. x = [x] + {x} Therefore fractional part, {x} = x - [x] For example, 4.7 = 4 + 0.7 or, 0.7 = 4.7 - 4 i.e. fractional part = Number - Integral Part x = 4.7 , [x] = [4.7] = 4 and {x} = {4.7} = 0.7 Consider, {-4.7} {-4.7} = -4.7 - [-4.7] = -4.7 - (-5)  or, {-4.7} = 0.3 if the number is integer, its fractional part is obviously zero. {6} = 6 - [6] = 6 - 6 = 0 Note- fractional part is always positive and it never becomes 1. in other words, fractional part of a number is the difference between the number and its integral part. Remember,  i.e. fractional part is always less than 1 and greater than or equal to zero. When x will be an integer fractional part will become zero i.e. integer has no fractional part. How to draw the graph, note this, , if  because the fractional part is equal to the number if n...

LIKE TO JOIN ON FACEBOOK ( click here ) Students are requested to understand this carefully   1. Arg(z) = pi/3 z = 0 is excluded since z = 0 is the only complex number whose argument is not defined 2. Arg(z) > pi/3 Since principal argument belongs to (-pi, pi],  therefore Argument cannot be greater than pi. therefore Arg(z) > pi/3 =>)  z = 0 is excluded 3. |Arg(z)| < pi/4 => -pi/4 < Arg(z) < pi/4 z = 0 is excluded 4. => Arg(z) = pi since, principal argument belongs to  , therefore Argument cannot be greater than pi. z = 0 is excluded 5.  -pi/3 is included z = 0 is excluded 6. Complex number   , equal only when z is purely real number or '0' IMP 7. Arg(|z|) = 0 Since |z| is a Positive Real number , therefore it lies on right side of x - axis i.e. on positive Real axis and x-axis has '0' argument because it makes 0 radian angle from x-axis For z = 0 , argument ...
