How does finding the least common multiple of two numbers help you add fractions?

1 answer:

3 0

Because, actually, I'll give an example. 4/5 + 3/4, the LCM of the denominators is 20, so you would get this to be 16/20 + 15/20, which would equal 31/20, which equals 1 11/20.

Replace x with π/2 - x to get the equivalent integral

$\displaystyle \int_{-\frac\pi2}^{\frac\pi2} \cos(\cot(x) - \tan(x)) \, dx$

but the integrand is even, so this is really just

$\displaystyle 2 \int_0^{\frac\pi2} \cos(\cot(x) - \tan(x)) \, dx$

Substitute x = 1/2 arccot(u/2), which transforms the integral to

$\displaystyle 2 \int_{-\infty}^\infty \frac{\cos(u)}{u^2+4} \, du$

There are lots of ways to compute this. What I did was to consider the complex contour integral

$\displaystyle \int_\gamma \frac{e^{iz}}{z^2+4} \, dz$

where γ is a semicircle in the complex plane with its diameter joining (-R, 0) and (R, 0) on the real axis. A bound for the integral over the arc of the circle is estimated to be

$\displaystyle \left|\int_{z=Re^{i0}}^{z=Re^{i\pi}} f(z) \, dz\right| \le \frac{\pi R}{|R^2-4|}$

which vanishes as R goes to ∞. Then by the residue theorem, we have in the limit

$\displaystyle \int_{-\infty}^\infty \frac{\cos(x)}{x^2+4} \, dx = 2\pi i {} \mathrm{Res}\left(\frac{e^{iz}}{z^2+4},z=2i\right) = \frac\pi{2e^2}$

and it follows that

$\displaystyle \int_0^\pi \cos(\cot(x)-\tan(x)) \, dx = \boxed{\frac\pi{e^2}}$

Which two statements are missing in steps 3 and 4?

Snezhnost [94]

Answer:

∠B ≅ ∠Y △ABC ~ △ZYX by the SAS similarity theorem.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. $AB=6$ units

$YZ=3$ units

$BC=8$ units

$XY=4$ units, then

$\dfrac{AB}{ZY}=\dfrac{BC}{YX}=2$

2. $\angle B$ and $\angle Y$ are right angles - given

3. $\angle B\cong \angle Y$ two right angles are always congruent.

4. $\triangle ABC\sim \triangle ZYX$ by SAS similarity theorem.

SAS Similarity Theorem states that if two sides in one triangle are proportional to two sides in another triangle and the included angle in both are congruent, then the two triangles are similar.
