An angle bisector of a triangle divides the opposite side of the triangle into segments 6 cm and 5 cm long. A second side of the

triangle is 6.9 cm long. Find the longest and shortest possible lengths of the third side of the triangle. Round answers to the nearest tenth of a centimeter.

<span>Based in the information given in the problem, you must apply the The Angle Bisector Theorem. Let's call the triangle: "ABC"; the internal bisector of the angle that divides its opposite side: "AP"; and "x": the longest and shortest possible lengths of the third side of the triangle.

 If BP= 6 cm and CP= 5 cm, we have:

 BP/CP = AB/AC

 We don't know if second side of the triangle (6.9 centimeters long) is AB or AC, so:

 1. If AB = 6.9 cm and AC = x:
 6/5 = 6.9/x
 x = (5x6.9)/6
 x = 5.80 cm

 2. If AC= 6.9 cm and AB= x:
 6/5 = x/6.9
 x = 6.9x6/5
 x = 8.30 cm

 Then, the answer is: 
 The longest possible length of the third side of the triangle is 8.30 cm and the and shortest length of it is 5.80 cm.</span>

Find the Fourier series of f on the given interval. f(x) = 1, ?7 &lt; x &lt; 0 1 + x, 0 ? x &lt; 7
Zolol [24]
f(x)=\begin{cases}1&\text{for }-7

The Fourier series expansion of f(x) is given by

\dfrac{a_0}2+\displaystyle\sum_{n\ge1}a_n\cos\frac{n\pi x}7+\sum_{n\ge1}b_n\sin\frac{n\pi x}7

where we have

a_0=\displaystyle\frac17\int_{-7}^7f(x)\,\mathrm dx
a_0=\displaystyle\frac17\left(\int_{-7}^0\mathrm dx+\int_0^7(1+x)\,\mathrm dx\right)
a_0=\dfrac{7+\frac{63}2}7=\dfrac{11}2

The coefficients of the cosine series are

a_n=\displaystyle\frac17\int_{-7}^7f(x)\cos\dfrac{n\pi x}7\,\mathrm dx
a_n=\displaystyle\frac17\left(\int_{-7}^0\cos\frac{n\pi x}7\,\mathrm dx+\int_0^7(1+x)\cos\frac{n\pi x}7\,\mathrm dx\right)
a_n=\dfrac{9\sin n\pi}{n\pi}+\dfrac{7\cos n\pi-7}{n^2\pi^2}
a_n=\dfrac{7(-1)^n-7}{n^2\pi^2}

When n is even, the numerator vanishes, so we consider odd n, i.e. n=2k-1 for k\in\mathbb N, leaving us with

a_n=a_{2k-1}=\dfrac{7(-1)-7}{(2k-1)^2\pi^2}=-\dfrac{14}{(2k-1)^2\pi^2}

Meanwhile, the coefficients of the sine series are given by

b_n=\displaystyle\frac17\int_{-7}^7f(x)\sin\dfrac{n\pi x}7\,\mathrm dx
b_n=\displaystyle\frac17\left(\int_{-7}^0\sin\dfrac{n\pi x}7\,\mathrm dx+\int_0^7(1+x)\sin\dfrac{n\pi x}7\,\mathrm dx\right)
b_n=-\dfrac{7\cos n\pi}{n\pi}+\dfrac{7\sin n\pi}{n^2\pi^2}
b_n=\dfrac{7(-1)^{n+1}}{n\pi}

So the Fourier series expansion for f(x) is

f(x)\sim\dfrac{11}4-\dfrac{14}{\pi^2}\displaystyle\sum_{n\ge1}\frac1{(2n-1)^2}\cos\frac{(2n-1)\pi x}7+\frac7\pi\sum_{n\ge1}\frac{(-1)^{n+1}}n\sin\frac{n\pi x}7

Suppose that y varies directly with x<br> and y = 10 when x = 20. What is y<br> when x = 15?
tresset_1 [31]

Answer: y = 7.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose that y varies directly with x

That is, y∝x

Convert y∝x to a full equation by introducing a constant k to the right hand side.

Therefore, y = kx

Given that y = 10 and x = 20

Substitute y and x in the equation above. We have;

10 = k(20)

10 = 20k

20k = 10

k = 10/20

k = 0.5

Since k = 0.5, the equation y = kx becomes y = 0.5x

Now, to find y if x = 15, substitute x in equation y = 0.5x

Therefore, y = 0.5(15)

y = 7.5

Determine if the lim f(x) exists using the graph below.. If it does, find its value. If it does not,x 1explain why
Leno4ka [110]

The limit of a function f at a point a exists if:

\lim_{x\to a^-}f(x)=\lim_{x\to a^+}f(x)\begin{gathered} \text{ From the given image, the value of the left limit of f at x=1 } \\ \lim_{x\to a^-}f(x)\lt1 \end{gathered}

Also,

\begin{gathered} \text{ From the given image, the value of the right limit of f at x=1 } \\ \lim_{x\to a^+}f(x)\gt1 \end{gathered}

Therefore,

\lim_{x\to1^-}f(x)\lim_{x\to1^+}f(x)

Hence, the limit does not exist
