Let $$u$$ and $$v$$ be units vectors. If $$w$$ is a vector such that $$w + \left( {w \times u} \right) = v,$$ then prove that $$\left| {\left( {u \times v} \right) \cdot w} \right| \le 1/2$$ and that the equality holds if and only if $$u$$ is perpendicular to $$v .$$

If for a real number $$y$$, $$\left[ y \right]$$ is the greatest integer less than or
equal to $$y$$, then the value of the integral $$\int\limits_{\pi /2}^{3\pi /2} {\left[ {2\sin x} \right]dx} $$ is

Let $${T_1}$$, $${T_2}$$ be two tangents drawn from (- 2, 0) onto the circle $$C:{x^2}\,\, + \,{y^2} = 1$$. Determine the circles touching C and having $${T_1}$$, $${T_2}$$ as their pair of tangents. Further, find the equations of all possible common tangents to these circles, when taken two at a time.

In a triangle $$PQR,\angle R = \pi /2$$. If $$\,\,\tan \left( {P/2} \right)$$ and $$\tan \left( {Q/2} \right)$$ are the roots of the equation $$a{x^2} + bx + c = 0\left( {a \ne 0} \right)$$ then.
