The line $$2x + y = 1$$ is tangent to the hyperbola $${{{x^2}} \over {{a^2}}} - {{{y^2}} \over {{b^2}}} = 1$$.

If this line passes through the point of intersection of the nearest directrix and the $$x$$-axis, then the eccentricity of the hyperbola is

If the angles $$A, B$$ and $$C$$ of a triangle are in an arithmetic progression and if $$a, b$$ and $$c$$ denote the lengths of the sides opposite to $$A, B$$ and $$C$$ respectively, then the value of the expression $${a \over c}\sin 2C + {c \over a}\sin 2A$$ is

Let $$ABC$$ be a triangle such that $$\angle ACB = {\pi \over 6}$$ and let $$a, b$$ and $$c$$ denote the lengths of the sides opposite to $$A$$, $$B$$ and $$C$$ respectively. The value(s) of $$x$$ for which $$a = {x^2} + x + 1,\,\,\,b = {x^2} - 1\,\,\,$$ and $$c = 2x + 1$$ is (are)

Let $$f$$ be a real-valued differentiable function on $$R$$ (the set of all real numbers) such that $$f(1)=1$$. If the $$y$$-intercept of the tangent at any point $$P(x,y)$$ on the curve $$y=f(x)$$ is equal to the cube of the abscissa of $$P$$, then find the value of $$f(-3)$$
