The area (in sq. units) in the first quadrant bounded by the parabola, y = x² + 1, the tangent to it at the point (2, 5) and the coordinate axes is :

Let $$\alpha $$ and $$\beta $$ be the roots of the quadratic equation x² sin $$\theta $$ – x(sin $$\theta $$ cos $$\theta $$ + 1) + cos $$\theta $$ = 0 (0 < $$\theta $$ < 45^o), and $$\alpha $$ < $$\beta $$. Then $$\sum\limits_{n = 0}^\infty {\left( {{\alpha ^n} + {{{{\left( { - 1} \right)}^n}} \over {{\beta ^n}}}} \right)} $$ is equal to :

Let the length of the latus rectum of an ellipse with its major axis along x-axis and centre at the origin, be 8. If the distance between the foci of this ellipse is equal to the length of its minor axis, then which one of the following points lies on it?

Let $$\sqrt 3 \widehat i + \widehat j,$$    $$\widehat i + \sqrt 3 \widehat j$$  and   $$\beta \widehat i + \left( {1 - \beta } \right)\widehat j$$ respectively be the position vectors of the points A, B and C with respect to the origin O. If the distance of C from the bisector of the acute angle between OA and OB is $${3 \over {\sqrt 2 }}$$, then the sum of all possible values of $$\beta $$ is :
