If aî + bĵ + ck̂ and pî + qĵ + rk̂ are 2 different sides of the rhombus.
Suppose  = aî+bĵ+ck̂ and B = = pî+qĵ+rk̂
Then anyone diagonal of the rhombus is given by 
The other diagonal is given by 
The magnitude of the vector 
The magnitude of the vector diagonal D1
D1 = 7 
The other diagonal is given by 
D2 = - 1î - 2ĵ + 8k̂
The magnitude of the vector diagonal D2
∴ The length of diagonals of a rhombus is 7 and √69.

The volume determined from ∫∫∫v 8 xyz dv for V = [2, 3] × [1, 2] × [ 0,1 ] will be (in integer) ________.
    Correct answer is '15'. Can you explain this answer?

    Sanvi Kapoor answered
    Given
    Integral
    ∫∫∫v 8 xyz dv 
    Limits for x, y and z is given as
    [2, 3] × [1, 2] × [0, 1]
    Volume of the integral
    V = ∫∫∫v 8 xyz dv 
    i.e. V = ∫ ∫ ∫V 8 xyz dxdydz
    V = 5 × 3 × 1
    V = 15 
    ∴ Volume is 15 

    Given the vector A = (cos x)(cos y)âx + (cos x)(cos y) ây, âx & ây denote unit vectors along x,y directions respectively. The curl of A is ________.
    • a)
      (cosx cosy - sinx siny) ) âx 
    • b)
      (- sinx cosy + cosx siny) âz
    • c)
      (sinx cosy - cosx siny) âz
    • d)
      (- sinx cosy + cosx siny) ây
    Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

    The given vector is A = (cos x)(cos y)ax + (cos x)(cos y)ay.

    To find the components of the vector A, we can separate the terms involving ax and ay:

    A = (cos x)(cos y)ax + (cos x)(cos y)ay
    = (cos x)(cos y)(ax + ay)

    Therefore, the x-component of vector A is (cos x)(cos y) and the y-component of vector A is also (cos x)(cos y).

    Green's theorem
    • It converts the line integral to a double integral. 
    • It transforms the line integral in xy - plane to a surface integral on the same xy - plane.
    If M and N are functions of (x, y) defined in an open region then from Green's theorem

    Concept:
    When two points (x1, y1. z1) and (x1, y1. z2) are mentioned find the relation in terms of the third variable in terms of x,y, and z:
    Put the value of z,y, and z and use the end-points of one variable.
    Given:
    I = ∫(2xy2dx + 2x2ydy + dz), A (0, 0, 0) and B(1, 1, 1).
    Equation of line i.e. path
    ∴ x = y = z = t and t : 0 → 1
    ∴ 
    ∴

    Gauss divergence theorem:
    It states that the surface integral of the normal component of a vector function  taken over a closed surface ‘S’ is equal to the volume integral of the divergence of that vector function  taken over a volume enclosed by the closed surface ‘S’.
    Given:
    F = xi + yj + zk

    Concept:
    Let y = f(x) be the equation of a curve, then the slope of the tangent at any point say (x1, y1) is given by:
    Calculation:
    Given curve is xy3 - yx3 = 6
    Now by partially differentiating the equation of curve with respect to x we get;
    The slope(m) i.e. dy/dx of the tangent at (1, -1) is:
    m =  -1
