We are looking for the length of a curve, also known as the arc length. Before we get to the formula for arc length, it would help if we re-wrote the equation in y = form.

We are given: 36 y^{2} =( x^{2} -4)^3
We divide by 36 and take the root of both sides to obtain: y = \sqrt{ \frac{( x^{2} -4)^3}{36} }

Note that the square root can be written as an exponent of 1/2 and so we can further simplify the above to obtain: y =  \frac{( x^{2} -4)^{3/2}}{6} }=( \frac{1}{6} )(x^{2} -4)^{3/2}}

Let's leave that for the moment and look at the formula for arc length. The formula is L= \int\limits^c_d {ds} where ds is defined differently for equations in rectangular form (which is what we have), polar form or parametric form.

Rectangular form is an equation using x and y where one variable is defined in terms of the other. We have y in terms of x. For this, we define ds as follows: ds= \sqrt{1+( \frac{dy}{dx})^2 } dx

As a note for a function x in terms of y simply switch each dx in the above to dy and vice versa.

As you can see from the formula we need to find dy/dx and square it. Let's do that now.

We can use the chain rule: bring down the 3/2, keep the parenthesis, raise it to the 3/2 - 1 and then take the derivative of what's inside (here x^2-4). More formally, we can let u=x^{2} -4 and then consider the derivative of u^{3/2}du. Either way, we obtain,

\frac{dy}{dx}=( \frac{1}{6})( x^{2} -4)^{1/2}(2x)=( \frac{x}{2})( x^{2} -4)^{1/2}

Looking at the formula for ds you see that dy/dx is squared so let's square the dy/dx we just found.
( \frac{dy}{dx}^2)=( \frac{x^2}{4})( x^{2} -4)= \frac{x^4-4 x^{2} }{4}

This means that in our case:
ds= \sqrt{1+\frac{x^4-4 x^{2} }{4}} dx
ds= \sqrt{\frac{4}{4}+\frac{x^4-4 x^{2} }{4}} dx
ds= \sqrt{\frac{x^4-4 x^{2}+4 }{4}} dx
ds= \sqrt{\frac{( x^{2} -2)^2 }{4}} dx
ds=  \frac{x^2-2}{2}dx =( \frac{1}{2} x^{2} -1)dx

Recall, the formula for arc length: L= \int\limits^c_d {ds}
Here, the limits of integration are given by 5 and 9 from the initial problem (the values of x over which we are computing the length of the curve). Putting it all together we have:

L= \int\limits^9_5 { \frac{1}{2} x^{2} -1 } \, dx = (\frac{1}{2}) ( \frac{x^3}{3}) -x evaluated from 9 to 5 (I cannot seem to get the notation here but usually it is a straight line with the 9 up top and the 5 on the bottom -- just like the integral with the 9 and 5 but a straight line instead). This means we plug 9 into the expression and from that subtract what we get when we plug 5 into the expression.

That is, [(\frac{1}{2}) ( \frac{9^3}{3}) -9]-([(\frac{1}{2}) ( \frac{5^3}{3}) -5]=( \frac{9^3}{6}-9)-( \frac{5^3}{6}-5})=\frac{290}{3}

If x=7+root 40 ,find the value of root x+1by the root of x​
Luda [366]

Chapter : Algebra

Study : Math in Junior high school

x = 7 + √40

find √x of √x + 1

= √x + 1

= √(7+√40) + 1

in Formula is :

= √7+√40 = √x + √y

= (√7+√40)² = (√x + √y)²

= 7+√40 = x + 2√xy + y

= 7 + √40 = x + y + 2√xy

→ 7 = x + y → y = 7 - x ... Equation 1

→ √40 = 2√xy → √40 = 2.2√10 = 4√10

= xy = 10 ... Equation 2

substitution Equation 1 to 2 :

= xy = 10

= x(7-x) = 10

= 7x - x² = 10

= x² - 7x + 10 = 0

= (x - 5)(x - 2) = 0

= x = 5 or x = 2

Subsitution x = 5 and x = 2, to equation 1

#For x = 5

= y = 7 - x

= y = 7 - (5)

= y = 2

#For x = 2

= y = 7 - x

= y = 7 - (2)

= y = 5

and his x and y was find :

#Equation 1 :

= x = 5 and y = 2

#Equation 2 :

= x = 2 and y = 5

So that :

√7+√40 = √x + √y

= √7+√40 = √2 + √5

And that is answer of question :

= √2 + √5 + 1

The Powerball lottery is decided every Wednesday and Saturday night by drawing five white balls out of a drum with 69 balls and
Doss [256]

Answer: a) 11,238,513 and b) 292,201,338

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of white balls = 69

Number of white balls drawn = 5

Number of red balls = 26

Number of red balls drawn = 1

According to question, The Powerball jackpot is won by matching all five white balls in any order and the red Powerball.

So, a) Possible different ways of Powerball tickets can be purchased is given by

^{69}C_5\\\\=11,238,513

And

b) Number of possible ways of different winning Poweball tickets are there would be

26\times ^[69}C_5\\\\=292,201,338

Hence, a) 11,238,513 and b) 292,201,338

Answer:

  1. ∠EDF = 104°

  2. arc FG = 201°

  3. ∠T = 60°

Step-by-step explanation:

There are a couple of angle relationships that are applicable to these problems.

  • the angle where chords meet is half the sum of the measures of the intercepted arcs
  • the angle where secants meet is half the difference of the measures of the intercepted arcs

The first of these applies to the first two problems.

1. ∠EDF = 1/2(arc EF + arc UG)

  ∠EDF = 1/2(147° +61°) = 1/2(208°)

  ∠EDF = 104°

__

2. ∠FHG = 1/2(arc FG + arc ES)

  128° = 1/2(arc FG +55°) . . . substitute given information

  256° = arc FG +55° . . . . . . multiply by 2

  201° = arc FG . . . . . . . . . subtract 55°

__

3. For the purpose of this problem, a tangent is a special case of a secant in which both intersection points with the circle are the same point. The relation for secants still applies.

  ∠T = 1/2(arc FS -arc US)

  ∠T = 1/2(170° -50°) = 1/2(120°)

  ∠T = 60°
