Important Mathematical Formulas

2012-05-27T23:33:00.001-07:00

(a + b)(a – b) = a² – b²

(a + b + c)² = a² + b² + c² + 2(ab + bc + ca)

(a ± b)² = a² + b²± 2ab

(a + b + c + d)² = a² + b² + c² + d² + 2(ab + ac + ad + bc + bd + cd)

(a ± b)³ = a³ ± b³ ± 3ab(a ± b)

(a ± b)(a² + b² m ab) = a³ ± b³

(a + b + c)(a² + b² + c² -ab – bc – ca) = a³ + b³ + c³ – 3abc =

1/2 (a + b + c)[(a - b)² + (b - c)² + (c - a)²]

when a + b + c = 0, a³ + b³ + c³ = 3abc

(x + a)(x + b) (x + c) = x³ + (a + b + c) x² + (ab + bc + ac)x + abc

(x – a)(x – b) (x – c) = x³ – (a + b + c) x² + (ab + bc + ac)x – abc

a⁴ + a²b² + b⁴ = (a² + ab + b²)( a² – ab + b²)

a⁴ + b⁴ = (a² – √2ab + b²)( a² + √2ab + b²)

aⁿ + bⁿ = (a + b) (a ^n-1 – a ^n-2 b + a ^n-3 b² – a ^n-4 b³ +…….. + b ^n-1)

(valid only if n is odd)

aⁿ – bⁿ = (a – b) (a ^n-1 + a ^n-2 b + a ^n-3 b² + a ^n-4 b³ +……… + b ^n-1)

{where n ϵ N)

(a ± b)²ⁿ is always positive while -(a ± b)²ⁿ is always negative, for any real values of a and b

(a – b)²ⁿ = (b – a)²” and (a – b)²ⁿ⁺¹ = – (b – a)²ⁿ⁺¹

if α and β are the roots of equation ax² + bx + c = 0, roots of cx” + bx + a = 0 are 1/α and 1/β.
if α and β are the roots of equation ax² + bx + c = 0, roots of ax² – bx + c = 0 are -α and -β.

- n(n + l)(2n + 1) is always divisible by 6.
- 3²ⁿ leaves remainder = 1 when divided by 8
- n³ + (n + 1 )³ + (n + 2 )³ is always divisible by 9
- 10²ⁿ ⁺ ¹ + 1 is always divisible by 11
- n(n²- 1) is always divisible by 6
- n²+ n is always even
- 2³ⁿ-1 is always divisible by 7
- 15^2n-1+l is always divisible by 16
- n³ + 2n is always divisible by 3
- 3⁴ⁿ – 4 ³ⁿ is always divisible by 17
- n! + 1 is not divisible by any number between 2 and n
(where n! = n (n – l)(n – 2)(n – 3)…….3.2.1)

Product of n consecutive numbers is always divisible by n!.

If n is a positive integer and p is a prime, then n^p – n is divisible by p.

|x| = x if x ≥ 0 and |x| = – x if x ≤ 0.

Minimum value of a².sec²Ɵ + b².cosec²Ɵ is (a + b)²; (0° < Ɵ < 90°)

for eg. minimum value of 49 sec²Ɵ + 64.cosec²Ɵ is (7 + 8)² = 225.
among all shapes with the same perimeter a circle has the largest area.

if one diagonal of a quadrilateral bisects the other, then it also bisects the quadrilateral.

sum of all the angles of a convex quadrilateral = (n – 2)180°

number of diagonals in a convex quadrilateral = 0.5n(n – 3)

let P, Q are the midpoints of the nonparallel sides BC and AD of a trapezium ABCD.Then,
ΔAPD = ΔCQB.

Bharat Ratna Award

2011-12-31T04:23:00.000-08:00

Bharat Ratna Award

India has produced a legacy of brave hearts since times immemorial. Probably there is not enough space to measure their sacrifices. However, we cannot close our eyes to those people who have made our country proud by excelling in their own fields and bringing us international recognition. Bharat Ratna is the highest civilian honour given for exceptional service towards advancement of Art, Literature and Science, and in recognition of Public Service of the highest order.

The original specifications for the award called for a circular gold medal, 35 mm in diameter, with the sun and the Hindi legend "Bharat Ratna" above and a floral wreath below. The reverse was to carry the state emblem and motto. It was to be worn around the neck from a white ribbon. This design was altered after a year.

The provision of Bharat Ratna was introduced in 1954. The first ever Indian to receive this award was the famous scientist, Chandrasekhara Venkata Raman. Since then, many dignitaries, each a whiz in varied aspects of their career has received this coveted award.

In fact, our former President, Shri A. P. J Abdul Kalam is also a recipient of this esteemed honour (1997). There is no written provision that Bharat Ratna should be awarded to Indian citizens only. The award has been awarded to a naturalized Indian citizen, Agnes Gonxha Bojaxhiu, better known as Mother Teresa (1980) and to two non-Indians – Khan Abdul Ghaffar Khan and Nelson Mandela (1990). It is also not mandatory that Bharat Ratna be awarded every year. The last time this award was given was in 2008, to Pandit Bhimsen Gururaj Joshi.

Answer: A

An Internet Protocol address (IP address) is a numerical label assigned to each device (e.g., computer, printer) participating in a computer network that uses the Internet Protocol for communication. An IP address serves two principal functions: host or network interface identification and location addressing. Its role has been characterized as follows: "A name indicates what we seek. An address indicates where it is. A route indicates how to get there.”

the NeXTSTEP platform. It was later renamed Nexus to avoid confusion with the World Wide Web.

A web browser is a software application for retrieving, presenting, and traversing information resources on the World Wide Web. An information resource is identified by a Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) and may be a web page, image, video, or other piece of content. Hyperlinks present in resources enable users easily to navigate their browsers to related resources. A web browser can also be defined as an application software or program designed to enable users to access, retrieve and view documents and other resources on the Internet.

6. What does HTTP stands for?

1. Hypertext Transfer Protocol

2. Hypertext Transfer Plotter

3. Head Tail Transfer Plot

4. Head Tail Transfer Protocol

Answer: A

What is HTTP?

HTTP, the Hypertext Transfer Protocol, is the application-level protocol that is used

to transfer data on the Web. HTTP comprises the rules by which Web browsers and

servers exchange information. Although most people think of HTTP only in the context

of the World-Wide Web, it can be, and is, used for other purposes, such as distributed

object management systems.

How Does HTTP Work?

HTTP Is a request-response protocol. For example, a Web browser initiates a

request to a server, typically by opening a TCP/IP connection. The request itself

comprises

1. a request line,

2 .a set of request headers, and

3.an entity.

The server sends a response that comprises

1. a status line,

2. a set of response headers, and

3. an entity.

The entity in the request or response can be thought of simply as the payload,

which may be binary data. The other items are readable ASCII characters. When the

response has been completed, either the browser or the server may terminate the

TCP/IP connection, or the browser can send another request.

An Example

As an illustration of HTTP, here is an example exchange between a Web browser and

the Silicon Press server, www.silicon-press.com. In response to a user request to go

to the URL

http://www.silicon.press.com

the browser sends the following HTTP request to www.silicon-press.com:

GET / HTTP/1.1

Connection: Keep-Alive

User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Konqueror/2.2-11; Linux)

www.silicon-press.com

Email: info@silicon-press.com

Tel: 908-273-8919 Fax: 908-273-6149

Accept-Encoding: x-gzip, gzip, identity

Accept-Charset: Any, utf-8, *

Accept-Language: en, en_US

Host: www.silicon-press.com

International Monetary Fund

2011-08-14T06:32:00.000-07:00

International Monetary Fund
Type	International Economic Organization
Headquarters	Washington, D.C. United States
Membership	185 Nations (Founding); 187 Nations (To Date)
Official languages	English, French, and Spanish
Managing Director	Christine Lagarde
Main organ	Board of Governors
Website	http://www.imf.org

The International Monetary Fund was conceived in July 1944 during the United Nations Monetary and Financial Conference. The representatives of 45 governments met in the Mount Washington Hotel in the area of Bretton Woods, New Hampshire, United States, with the delegates to the conference agreeing on a framework for international economic cooperation^. The IMF was formally organized on December 27, 1945, when the first 29 countries signed its Articles of Agreement. The statutory purposes of the IMF today are the same as when they were formulated in 1943 .

The IMF’s influence in the global economy steadily increased as it accumulated more members. The number of IMF member countries has more than quadrupled from the 44 states involved in its establishment, reflecting in particular the attainment of political independence by many developing countries and more recently the dissolution of the USSR. The expansion of the IMF’s membership, together with the changes in the world economy, have required the IMF to adapt in a variety of ways to continue serving its purposes effectively.

Objectives

The objectives are to stabilize international exchange rates and facilitate development through the influence of neoliberal economic policies^. in other countries as a condition of loans, debt relief, and aid. It also offers loans with varying levels of conditionality, mainly to poorer countries. Its headquarters is in Washington, D.C. The IMF’s relatively high influence in world affair s and development has drawn heavy criticism from some sources.
