a) Let u=(2,3,-1) and w=(3,-1,p). Given that u is perpendicular to w, find the value of p. b)Let v=(1,q,5). Given that modulus v = sqrt(42), find the possible values of q.

a) is perpendicular to w, so =0. This means that 23 + 3(-1) + (-1)*p = 0, so 6-3-p=0, hence p=3. b) The magnitude of v ...

a) Given f(x) = ln(x), use the Mean Value Theorem to show that for 0 <a <b, (b-a)/b < ln(b/a) < (b-a)/a. b)Hence show that ln(1.2) lies between 1/m and 1/n, with m, n consecutive integers to be determined.

a) f(x)=ln(x), so f'(x)=1/x. By MVT, f'(c) = (f(b)-f(a))/(b-a) = (ln b - ln a)/(b-a) = ln(b/a)/(b-a), where c lies between a and b.  Now, since 1/x is a decreasing function, and a < c < b, we get 1/...
