If $$\cos ^{-1} \sqrt{\mathrm{p}}+\cos ^{-1} \sqrt{1-\mathrm{p}}+\cos ^{-1} \sqrt{1-\mathrm{q}}=\frac{3 \pi}{4}$$, then $$\mathrm{q}$$ is

The slope of the tangent to a curve $$y=\mathrm{f}(x)$$ at $$(x, \mathrm{f}(x))$$ is $$2 x+1$$. If the curve passes through the point $$(1,2)$$, then the area (in sq. units), bounded by the curve, the $$\mathrm{X}$$-axis and the line $$x=1$$, is

$$A$$ rod $$A B, 13$$ feet long moves with its ends $$A$$ and $$B$$ on two perpendicular lines $$O X$$ and $$O Y$$ respectively. When $$A$$ is 5 feet from $$O$$, it is moving away at the rate of $$3 \mathrm{feet} / \mathrm{sec}$$. At this instant, $$\mathrm{B}$$ is moving at the rate

If $$\mathrm{f}(x)=\left\{\begin{array}{cc}\frac{x-3}{|x-3|}+\mathrm{a} & , \quad x < 3 \\ \mathrm{a}+\mathrm{b} & , \quad x=3 \\ \frac{|x-3|}{x-3}+\mathrm{b}, & x>3\end{array}\right.$$

Is continuous at $$x=3$$, then the value of $$\mathrm{a}-\mathrm{b}$$ is
