Simplify the expression by following steps: - step0: : \(e^{x}\cos\left(y\right)\) Solve the equation \( x+y+z=a \). Solve the equation by following steps: - step0: Solve for \(x\): \(x+y+z=a\) - step1: Move the expression to the right side: \(x=a-\left(y+z\right)\) - step2: Remove the parentheses: \(x=a-y-z\) Solve the equation \( (x^{2} D^{2}-2 x D-4) y=32(\text{\log} x)^{2} \). Let's solve the problems step by step. ### Problem 12: Reduce the quadratic form The quadratic form given is: \[ Q(x_1, x_2, x_3) = x_{1}^{2}+2 x_{2}^{2}+x_{3}^{2}-2 x_{1} x_{2}+2 x_{2} x_{3} \] To reduce this quadratic form to canonical form, we need to express it in matrix form and then perform an orthogonal transformation. 1. **Matrix Representation**: The quadratic form can be represented as: \[ Q(\mathbf{x}) = \mathbf{x}^T A \mathbf{x} \] where \(\mathbf{x} = \begin{pmatrix} x_1 \\ x_2 \\ x_3 \end{pmatrix}\) and \(A\) is the symmetric matrix corresponding to the quadratic form. The matrix \(A\) can be constructed as follows: \[ A = \begin{pmatrix} 1 & -1 & 0 \\ -1 & 2 & 1 \\ 0 & 1 & 1 \end{pmatrix} \] 2. **Finding Eigenvalues and Eigenvectors**: To find the canonical form, we need to find the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of the matrix \(A\). This will allow us to diagonalize the matrix. 3. **Orthogonal Transformation**: Once we have the eigenvalues and eigenvectors, we can form an orthogonal matrix \(P\) from the normalized eigenvectors. The canonical form will be given by: \[ Q' = P^T A P \] 4. **Positive Semidefiniteness**: A quadratic form is positive semidefinite if all its eigenvalues are non-negative. 5. **Finding Values for Zero**: To find a non-zero set of values \((x_1, x_2, x_3)\) that makes the quadratic form zero, we can set \(Q(x_1, x_2, x_3) = 0\) and solve for the variables. ### Problem 13: Solve the differential equation The differential equation is: \[ \frac{d^{2} y}{d x^{2}} + a^{2} y = \tan(a x) \] Using the method of variation of parameters, we first solve the homogeneous equation: \[ \frac{d^{2} y}{d x^{2}} + a^{2} y = 0 \] The characteristic equation is: \[ r^2 + a^2 = 0 \implies r = \pm ai \] The general solution to the homogeneous equation is: \[ y_h = C_1 \cos(ax) + C_2 \sin(ax) \] Next, we find a particular solution \(y_p\) using variation of parameters. The particular solution can be found using: \[ y_p = -\frac{W(y_1, y_2)}{W(y_1, y_2)} \int \frac{y_2 g(x)}{W(y_1, y_2)} dx + \frac{W(y_1, y_2)}{W(y_1, y_2)} \int \frac{y_1 g(x)}{W(y_1, y_2)} dx \] where \(g(x) = \tan(ax)\). ### Problem 14: Solve the equation The equation is: \[ (x^{2} D^{2} - 2x D - 4) y = 32(\log x)^{2} \] This is a differential equation where \(D\) represents differentiation with respect to \(x\). We can solve this by finding the complementary function and a particular solution. ### Problem 15: Examine for extreme values The function is: \[ f(x, y) = x^{3} + 3xy^{2} - 15x^{2} - 15y^{2} + 72x \] To find extreme values, we need to compute the first partial derivatives and set them to zero: \[ \frac{\partial f}{\partial x} = 0, \quad \frac{\partial f}{\partial y} = 0 \] Then, we can analyze the second derivatives to determine the nature of the critical points. ### Problem 16: Expand and find maximum value (a) To expand \(e^{x} \cos(y)\) in powers of \(x\) and \(y\) up to the third degree, we can use the Taylor series expansion. (b) To find the maximum value of \(x^{m} y^{n} z^{p}\) under the constraint \(x + y + z = a\), we can use the method of Lagrange multipliers. ### Problem 17: Change the order of integration To change the order of integration in the integral \(\int \sqrt{a^{2}-y^{2}} dy dx\), we need to determine the limits of integration for \(x\) and \(y\) and then evaluate the integral.
