Using polar coordinates, evaluate the integral which gives the area which lies in the first quadrant below the line y=5 and betw

vfiekz [6]

First, complete the square in the equation for the second circle to determine its center and radius:

x ² - 10x + y ² = 0

x ² - 10x + 25 + y ² = 25

(x - 5)² + y ² = 5²

So the second circle is centered at (5, 0) with radius 5, while the first circle is centered at the origin with radius √100 = 10.

Now convert each equation into polar coordinates, using

x = r cos(θ)

y = r sin(θ)

Then

x ² + y ² = 100 → r ² = 100 → r = 10

x ² - 10x + y ² = 0 → r ² - 10 r cos(θ) = 0 → r = 10 cos(θ)

y = 5 → r sin(θ) = 5 → r = 5 csc(θ)

See the attached graphic for a plot of the circles and line as well as the bounded region between them. The second circle is tangent to the larger one at the point (10, 0), and is also tangent to y = 5 at the point (0, 5).

Split up the region at 3 angles θ₁, θ₂, and θ₃, which denote the angles θ at which the curves intersect. They are

θ₁ = 0 … … … by solving 10 = 10 cos(θ)

θ₂ = π/6 … … by solving 10 = 5 csc(θ)

θ₃ = 5π/6 … the second solution to 10 = 5 csc(θ)

Then the area of the region is given by a sum of integrals:

$\displaystyle \frac12\left(\left\{\int_0^{\frac\pi6}+\int_{\frac{5\pi}6}^{2\pi}\right\}\left(10^2-(10\cos(\theta))^2\right)\,\mathrm d\theta+\int_{\frac\pi6}^{\frac{5\pi}6}\left((5\csc(\theta))^2-(10\cos(\theta))^2\right)\,\mathrm d\theta\right)$

$=\displaystyle 50\left\{\int_0^{\frac\pi6}+\int_{\frac{5\pi}6}^{2\pi}\right\} \sin^2(\theta)\,\mathrm d\theta+\frac12\int_{\frac\pi6}^{\frac{5\pi}6}\left(25\csc^2(\theta) - 100\cos^2(\theta)\right)\,\mathrm d\theta$

To compute the integrals, use the following identities:

sin²(θ) = (1 - cos(2θ)) / 2

cos²(θ) = (1 + cos(2θ)) / 2

and recall that

d(cot(θ))/dθ = -csc²(θ)

You should end up with an area of

$=\displaystyle25\left(\left\{\int_0^{\frac\pi6}+\int_{\frac{5\pi}6}^{2\pi}\right\}(1-\cos(2\theta))\,\mathrm d\theta-\int_{\frac\pi6}^{\frac{5\pi}6}(1+\cos(2\theta))\,\mathrm d\theta\right)+\frac{25}2\int_{\frac\pi6}^{\frac{5\pi}6}\csc^2(\theta)\,\mathrm d\theta$

$=\boxed{25\sqrt3+\dfrac{125\pi}3}$

We can verify this geometrically:

• the area of the larger circle is 100π

• the area of the smaller circle is 25π

• the area of the circular segment, i.e. the part of the larger circle that is bounded below by the line y = 5, has area 100π/3 - 25√3

Hence the area of the region of interest is

100π - 25π - (100π/3 - 25√3) = 125π/3 + 25√3

as expected.

What is 67% of 296 ? Show your work

seraphim [82]

First, you would get the decimal form of 67% by moving the decimal (At the end of most whole numbers.) over two, giving you .67.
Next, multiply 296 by this new decimal- .67*296=198.32.
There you go! : )

The tax bracket that Monica falls partly into is the $0 - $9,950 bracket. This is because her taxable annual earnings after is less than $9,950. hence she will be paying 10% of what's taxable.

<h3 /><h3>What is a Tax Bracket?</h3>

A tax bracket is a tax group into which a person falls into depending on their annual income, number of dependents, and marital status.

It is important to know that tax brackets are reviewed from time to time.
