Answer:

AH = 1 or 4

CH = 4 or 1

Step-by-step explanation:

An altitude divides a right triangle into similar triangles. That means the sides are in proportion, so ...

AH/BH = BH/CH

AH·CH = BH²

The problem statement tells us AH + CH = AC = 5, so we can write

AH·(5 -AH) = BH²

AH·(5 -AH) = 2² = 4

This gives us the quadratic ...

AH² -5AH +4 = 0 . . . . in standard form

(AH -4)(AH -1) = 0 . . . . factored

This equation has solutions AH = 1 or 4, the values of AH that make the factors be zero. Then CH = 5-AH = 4 or 1.

how to integrate <img src="https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=e%5E%7B2s%7D%20%2ACos%20%5Cfrac%7Bs%7D%7B4%7D" id="TexFormula1" title="e^{2s}

Answer:

$\int\limits {e^{2s} cos\frac{s}{4} ds$ = $\frac{4 e^{2s} }{65 } ({8 cos (\frac{1}{4} ) s + sin \frac{1}{4} s} ))$

Step-by-step explanation:

Step(i):-

Given that $f(s) = e^{2s} cos\frac{s}{4}$

Now integrating

$\int\limits {f(s)} \, ds = \int\limits {e^{2s} cos\frac{s}{4} ds$

By using integration formula

$\int\limits { e^{ax} cos b x dx = \frac{e^{ax} }{a^{2}+b^{2} } ( a cos b x + b sin b x )$

Step(ii):-

$\int\limits {e^{2s} cos\frac{s}{4} ds$ = $\frac{e^{2s} }{(2)^{2}+(\frac{1}{4}) ^{2} } ( 2 cos (\frac{1}{4} ) s + \frac{1}{4} sin \frac{1}{4} s ))$

= $\frac{e^{2s} }{(4+\frac{1}{16})} ( 2 cos (\frac{1}{4} ) s + \frac{1}{4} sin \frac{1}{4} s ))$

= $\frac{e^{2s} }{(\frac{65}{16} } ( \frac{8 cos (\frac{1}{4} ) s + sin \frac{1}{4} s}{4} ))$

= $16 X\frac{e^{2s} }{65 } ( \frac{8 cos (\frac{1}{4} ) s + sin \frac{1}{4} s}{4} ))$

= $\frac{4 e^{2s} }{65 } ({8 cos (\frac{1}{4} ) s + sin \frac{1}{4} s} ))$

Final answer:-

$\int\limits {e^{2s} cos\frac{s}{4} ds$ = $\frac{4 e^{2s} }{65 } ({8 cos (\frac{1}{4} ) s + sin \frac{1}{4} s} ))$

Please help me to prove this.

Vanyuwa [196]

<h3>Answer :</h3>

For triangle : A + B + C = π

⇒ A + B = π - C

⇒ cot(A + B) = cot(π - C)

⇒ $\sf\dfrac{cotA\:cotB-1}{cotB+cotA}=-cotA$

⇒ $\bf{cotA\:cotB+cotB\:cotC+cotC\:cotA=1}$

Now 1st part of the given expression!

⇒ $\sf\dfrac{cosA}{sinB\:sinC}$

⇒ $\sf\dfrac{cos(\pi-(B+C))}{sinB\:sinC}$

⇒ $\sf\dfrac{-cosB\:cosC+sinB\:sinC}{sinB\:sinC}$

⇒ 1 - cotB cotC

Similarly 2nd part!

⇒ 1 - cotA cotB

Similarly 3rd part!

⇒ 1 - cotC cotA

LHS :

$\circ\:\sf{3-(cotA\:cotB+cotB\:cotC+cotC\:cotA)}$

$\circ\:\sf{3-1}$

$\circ\:\bf{2}$ = RHS

<h3>Hence Proved!!</h3>
