Three important properties of the diagonals of a rhombus that we need for this problem are:
1. the diagonals of a rhombus bisect each other
2. the diagonals form two perpendicular lines
3. the diagonals bisect the angles of the rhombus

First, we can let O be the point where the two diagonals intersect (as shown in the attached image). Using the properties listed above, we can conclude that ∠AOB is equal to 90° and ∠BAO = 60/2 = 30°. 

Since a triangle's interior angles have a sum of 180°, then we have ∠ABO = 180 - 90 - 30 = 60°. This shows that the ΔAOB is a 30-60-90 triangle.

For a 30-60-90 triangle, the ratio of the sides facing the corresponding anges is 1:√3:2. So, since we know that AB = 10, we can compute for the rest of the sides.

\overline{OB}:\overline{AB} = 1:2
\overline {OB}:10 = 1:2
\overline{OB} = \frac{1}{2}(10) = 5

Similarly, we have

\overline{AO}:\overline{AB} = \sqrt{3}:2
\overline {AO}:10 = \sqrt{3}:2
\overline{AO} = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}(10) = 5\sqrt{3}

Now, to find the lengths of the diagonals, 

\overline{AD} = 2(\overline{AO}) = 10\sqrt{3}
\overline{BC} = 2(\overline{OB}) = 10

So, the lengths of the diagonals are 10 and 10√3.

Answer: 10 and 10√3 units

Find a cubic function f(x) = ax3 + bx2 + cx + d that has a local maximum value of 3 at x = −3 and a local minimum value of 0 at
Amiraneli [1.4K]

Answer:

The cubic function is f(x) = (27/32)·x  - 3/32·x³ - -9/32·x² - 9/32

Step-by-step explanation:

The given function is f(x) = a·x³ + b·x² + c·x + d

By differentiation, we have;

3·a·x² + 2·b·x + c = 0

3·a·(-3)² + 2·b·(-3) + c = 0

3·a·9 - 6·b + c = 0

27·a - 6·b + c = 0

3·a·(1)² + 2·b·(1) + c = 0

3·a + 2·b + c = 0

a·(-3)³ + b·(-3)² + c·(-3) + d = -3

-27·a + 9·b - 3·c + d = -3...(1)

a + b + c + d = 0...(2)

Subtracting equation (1) from equation (2) gives;

28·a - 8·b + 4·c = 3

Therefore, we have;

27·a - 6·b + c = 0

3·a + 2·b + c = 0

28·a - 8·b + 4·c = 0

Solving the system of equations using an Wolfram Alpha gives;

a = -3/32, b = -9/32, c = 27/32 from which we have;

a + b + c + d = 0 3 × (-3/32) + 2 × (-9/32) + (27/32) + d = 0

d = 0 - (0 3 × (-3/32) + 2 × (-9/32) + (27/32)) = -9/32

The cubic function is therefore f(x) = (-3/32)·x³ + (-9/32)·x² + (27/32)·x + (-9/32).
