Y = (1/4)x^2 - (1/2)lnx..over the interval (1, 7e) ...what is the arc length ?

1 answer:

6 0

So, f[x] = 1/4x^2 - 1/2Ln(x)
thus f'[x] = 1/4*2x - 1/2*(1/x) = x/2 - 1/2x 
thus f'[x]^2 = (x^2)/4 - 2*(x/2)*(1/2x) + 1/(4x^2) = (x^2)/4 - 1/2 + 1/(4x^2) 
thus f'[x]^2 + 1 = (x^2)/4 + 1/2 + 1/(4x^2) = (x/2 + 1/2x)^2 
thus Sqrt[...] = (x/2 + 1/2x)

11. What's the perimeter of a regular heptagon if one side measures 3 inches?

NemiM [27]

When a polygon is regular, that means that all of its sides are the same length and all of its angles are the same. A heptagon has seven sides and you know that all of them measure 3 inches. You can find the perimeter by adding all of the side measures together, so 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3, or 3 x 7. So, the perimeter of the heptagon is 21 inches.

Find the gradient of the line segment between the points (2,-3) and (-3,-8)

Anvisha [2.4K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

gradient=

$\frac{ - 8 - ( - 3)}{ - 3 - 2} = \frac{ - 8 + 3}{ - 5} = \frac{ - 5}{ - 5} = 1$
