Which of the following measurements could be the side lengths of a right triangle? A. 66 in, 88 in, 110 in

1 answer:

5 0

So the way to figure out the sides of a right triangle, is basically

A^2 + B^2 = C^2

Letter A is the only one that would work, because the first number squared (times itself), added to the second number squared, would equal the third number squared. This is a basic principle of the pythagorean theorem, which I can explain in more detail if you'd like. :)

Use chain rule to find dw/dt w=ln(x^2 + y^2 + z^2)^(1/2) , x=sint, y=cost, z=tant

son4ous [18]

The chain rule states that

$\dfrac{\mathrm dw}{\mathrm dt}=\dfrac{\partial w}{\partial x}\dfrac{\mathrm dx}{\mathrm dt}+\dfrac{\partial w}{\partial y}\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dt}+\dfrac{\partial w}{\partial z}\dfrac{\mathrm dz}{\mathrm dt}$

Since $\ln(x^2+y^2+z^2)^{1/2}=\dfrac12\ln(x^2+y^2+z^2)$ , you have

$\dfrac{\partial w}{\partial x}=\dfrac x{x^2+y^2+z^2}$
$\dfrac{\partial w}{\partial x}=\dfrac y{x^2+y^2+z^2}$
$\dfrac{\partial w}{\partial z}=\dfrac z{x^2+y^2+z^2}$

and

$\dfrac{\mathrm dx}{\mathrm dt}=\cos t$
$\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dt}=-\sin t$
$\dfrac{\mathrm dz}{\mathrm dt}=\sec^2t$

Also, since $x^2+y^2+z^2=\sin^2t+\cos^2t+\tan^2t=1+\tan^2t=\sec^2t$ , the derivative is

$\dfrac{\mathrm dw}{\mathrm dt}=\dfrac{\sin t\cos t}{\sec^2t}-\dfrac{\sin t\cos t}{\sec^2t}+\dfrac{\tan t\sec^2t}{\sec^2t}$
$\dfrac{\mathrm dw}{\mathrm dt}=\tan t$
