1/6+3/7 least common denominator is 42 so...
7/42+18/42= 25/42
Answer:
The answer is below
Step-by-step explanation:
Calvin school is 2.3 miles directly south of his house. After school, he takes a bus 1.8 miles west of his school to the sport complex.
a) What is the length of a straight line between calvins house and the sports complex? Round to the nearest tenth.
b) Calvin takes piano lessons at a community music school located 3.7 miles directly north of the sports complex. What is the length of a straight line between Calvin's house and the music school? Round to the nearest tenth.
Solution:
a) Calvin school, his house and the sport complex form a right angled triangle. The hypotenuse of the right angled triangle is the length of the line between Calvin's house and the sport complex. Let the length of the line between Calvin's house and the sport complex be x.
Using Pythagoras law for right angled triangle, we get that:
x² = 2.3² + 1.8²
x² = 8.53
x = √8.53
x = 2.9 miles to the nearest tenth
b) This forms a right angled triangle with the hypotenuse = length of a straight line between Calvin's house and the music school. one side of the triangle = 1.8 miles and the other side = 3.7 - 2.3 = 1.4 miles.
Let x = length of a straight line between Calvin's house and the music school. Hence:
x² = 1.8² + 1.4²
x² = 5.2
x = √5.2
x = 2.3 miles to the nearest tenth
The differences between the trapezoidal rule and simpson's rule is -
The trapezoidal rule and Simpson's method, the latter a set of formulas of varying complexity, are both Newton-Cotes formulas, that are used to examine and model complex curves.
<h3>What is
trapezoidal rule?</h3>
The trapezoidal rule is just an integration rule that divides a curve into small trapezoids to calculate the area under it. A area under the curve is calculated by adding the areas of all the small trapezoids.
Follow the steps below to use the trapezoidal rule to determine the area under given curve, y = f. (x).
- Step 1: Write down the total number of sub-intervals, "n," as well as the intervals "a" and "b."
- Step 2: Use the formula to determine the width of the sub-interval, h (or) x = (b - a)/n.
- Step 3: Use the obtained values to calculate this same approximate area of a given curve, ba f(x)dx Tn = (x/2) [f(x0) + 2 f(x1) + 2 f(x2) +....+ 2 f(n-1) + f(n)], where xi = a + ix
<h3>What is
Simpson's method?</h3>
Simpson's rule is used to approximate the area beneath the graph of the function f to determine the value of the a definite integral (such that, of the form b∫ₐ f(x) dx.
Simpson's 1/3 rule provides a more precise approximation. Here are the steps for using Simpson's rule to approximate the integral ba f(x) dx.
- Step 1: Figure out the values of 'a' & 'b' from interval [a, b], as well as the value of 'n,' which represents the number of subintervals.
- Step 2: Determine the width of every subinterval using the formula h = (b - a)/n.
- Step 3: Using the interval width 'h,' divide this same interval [a, b] [x₀, x₁], [x₁, x₂], [x₂, x₃], ..., [xn-2, xn-1], [xn-1, xn] into 'n' subintervals.
- Step 4: In Simpson's rule formula, substitute all of these values and simplify. b∫ₐ f(x) dx ≈ (h/3) [f(x0)+4 f(x1)+2 f(x2)+ ... +2 f(xn-2)+4 f(xn-1)+f(xn)].
Thus, sometimes we cannot solve an integral using any integration technique, and other times we don't have a particular function to integrate. Simpson's rule aids in approximating the significance of the definite integral in such cases.
