Answer:

Equilateral triangle implies each angle is 60 degree.

And any median is the altitude.

So, NT perpendicular LM, where T is the midpoint of [ML];

We use the Pythagorean Theorem in right triangle NTL ( NT = h; NL = a;

LT = a / 2 );

h² = a² - (a/2)² = a² - a²/4 = 4a²/4 - a²/4 = 3a²/4 ;

It follows that

h = √(3a²/4) = a√3/2 ≈ 0,866*a;

But, a = 8;

h ≈ 0,866 * 8 ≈ 6,928;

Determine the values of the constants B and C so that the function given below is differentiable.
laila [671]
For the function to be differentiable, its derivative has to exist everywhere, which means the derivative itself must be continuous. Differentiating gives

f'(x)=\begin{cases}24x^2&\text{for }x1\end{cases}

The question mark is a placeholder, and if the derivative is to be continuous, then the question mark will have the same value as the limit as x\to1 from either side.

\displaystyle\lim_{x\to1^-}f'(x)=\lim_{x\to1}24x^2=24
\displaystyle\lim_{x\to1^+}f'(x)=\lim_{x\to1}B=B

So the derivative will be continuous as long as B=24

For the function to be differentiable everywhere, we need to require that f(x) is itself continuous, which means the following limits should be the same:

\displaystyle\lim_{x\to1^-}f(x)=\lim_{x\to1}8x^3=8
\displaystyle\lim_{x\to1^+}f(x)=\lim_{x\to1}Bx+C=24+C

24+C=8\implies C=-16

So, the function should be

f(x)=\begin{cases}8x^3&\text{for }x\le1\\24x-16&\text{for }x>1\end{cases}

with derivative

f'(x)=\begin{cases}24x^2&\text{for }x
