Answer:

Correct option is:

{...,-3,-1,1,3,...}

Step-by-step explanation:

The graph is continuous if the left hand limit of the function is equal to the right hand limit and equal to function value at that point.

Here, we can clearly see the function does not satisfy the above definition at the points:

{...,-3,-1,1,3,5,...}

i.e. function is discontinuous at:

{...,-3,-1,1,3,...}

Hence, The correct option is:

{...,-3,-1,1,3,...}

At the end of summer all sandals are marked down by 70%. If a pair of sandals originally cost $19.50, how much will it cost at t

aleksley [76]

70 percent off 19.50 would mean getting a discount of 13.65, so the final price of the sandals by the end of the summer should be 5.85

Please please help ASAP! Classify each angle!

Olenka [21]

Answer:

<h3> Acute Angles: ∠TLS, ∠SLT, ∠ULR</h3><h3> Right Angles: ---------</h3><h3> Obtuse Angles: ∠RLT, ∠SLU, ∠ULS,</h3><h3> Straight Angles: ∠RLS, ∠TLU </h3><h3> Not angles: ∠TRL </h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

The lines intersect at point L, so all angles have a vertex (middle letter) L so there is no angle TRL

Straight angle is a line with dot-vertex, so the straight angles are ∠RLS and ∠TLU.

∠TLS is less than 90° then it is acute angle (∠SLT is the same angle). ∠ULR is vertex angle to ∠TLS, so it's also acute angle.

Two angles adding to straight angle mean that they are both right angles or one is acute and the second is obtuse. ∠TLS is acute so ∠RLT is obtuse (they adding to ∠RLS) and ∠SLU is obtuse (they adding to ∠TLU). ∠ULS is the same angle as ∠SLU.

Help with q25 please. Thanks.

First, I'll make f(x) = sin(px) + cos(px) because this expression shows up quite a lot, and such a substitution makes life a bit easier for us.

Let's apply the first derivative of this f(x) function.

$f(x) = \sin(px)+\cos(px)\\\\f'(x) = \frac{d}{dx}[f(x)]\\\\f'(x) = \frac{d}{dx}[\sin(px)+\cos(px)]\\\\f'(x) = \frac{d}{dx}[\sin(px)]+\frac{d}{dx}[\cos(px)]\\\\f'(x) = p\cos(px)-p\sin(px)\\\\ f'(x) = p(\cos(px)-\sin(px))\\\\$

Now apply the derivative to that to get the second derivative

$f''(x) = \frac{d}{dx}[f'(x)]\\\\f''(x) = \frac{d}{dx}[p(\cos(px)-\sin(px))]\\\\ f''(x) = p*\left(\frac{d}{dx}[\cos(px)]-\frac{d}{dx}[\sin(px)]\right)\\\\ f''(x) = p*\left(-p\sin(px)-p\cos(px)\right)\\\\ f''(x) = -p^2*\left(\sin(px)+\cos(px)\right)\\\\ f''(x) = -p^2*f(x)\\\\$

We can see that f '' (x) is just a scalar multiple of f(x). That multiple of course being -p^2.

Keep in mind that we haven't actually found dy/dx yet, or its second derivative counterpart either.

-----------------------------------

Let's compute dy/dx. We'll use f(x) as defined earlier.

$y = \ln\left(\sin(px)+\cos(px)\right)\\\\y = \ln\left(f(x)\right)\\\\\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{d}{dx}\left[y\right]\\\\\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{d}{dx}\left[\ln\left(f(x)\right)\right]\\\\\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{1}{f(x)}*\frac{d}{dx}\left[f(x)\right]\\\\\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{f'(x)}{f(x)}\\\\$

Use the chain rule here.

There's no need to plug in the expressions f(x) or f ' (x) as you'll see in the last section below.

Now use the quotient rule to find the second derivative of y

$\frac{d^2y}{dx^2} = \frac{d}{dx}\left[\frac{dy}{dx}\right]\\\\\frac{d^2y}{dx^2} = \frac{d}{dx}\left[\frac{f'(x)}{f(x)}\right]\\\\\frac{d^2y}{dx^2} = \frac{f''(x)*f(x)-f'(x)*f'(x)}{(f(x))^2}\\\\\frac{d^2y}{dx^2} = \frac{f''(x)*f(x)-(f'(x))^2}{(f(x))^2}\\\\$

If you need a refresher on the quotient rule, then

$\frac{d}{dx}\left[\frac{P}{Q}\right] = \frac{P'*Q - P*Q'}{Q^2}\\\\$

where P and Q are functions of x.

-----------------------------------

This then means

$\frac{d^2y}{dx^2} + \left(\frac{dy}{dx}\right)^2 + p^2\\\\\frac{f''(x)*f(x)-(f'(x))^2}{(f(x))^2} + \left(\frac{f'(x)}{f(x)}\right)^2 + p^2\\\\\frac{f''(x)*f(x)-(f'(x))^2}{(f(x))^2} +\frac{(f'(x))^2}{(f(x))^2} + p^2\\\\\frac{f''(x)*f(x)-(f'(x))^2+(f'(x))^2}{(f(x))^2} + p^2\\\\\frac{f''(x)*f(x)}{(f(x))^2} + p^2\\\\$

Note the cancellation of -(f ' (x))^2 with (f ' (x))^2

------------------------------------

Let's then replace f '' (x) with -p^2*f(x)

This allows us to form ( f(x) )^2 in the numerator to cancel out with the denominator.

$\frac{f''(x)*f(x)}{(f(x))^2} + p^2\\\\\frac{-p^2*f(x)*f(x)}{(f(x))^2} + p^2\\\\\frac{-p^2*(f(x))^2}{(f(x))^2} + p^2\\\\-p^2 + p^2\\\\0\\\\$

So this concludes the proof that $\frac{d^2y}{dx^2} + \left(\frac{dy}{dx}\right)^2 + p^2 = 0\\\\$ when $y = \ln\left(\sin(px)+\cos(px)\right)\\\\$

Side note: This is an example of showing that the given y function is a solution to the given second order linear differential equation.
