Answer:

The measure of segment AC is 36 units

Step-by-step explanation:

- The mid-point divides the segment into two equal parts in length

- B is the mid point of segment AC

- That means B divides segment AC into two equal parts in length

∴ AB = BC

∵ AC = 5x - 9

∵ AB = 2x

- The two parts AB and BC are equal in length

∴ BC = 2x

∵ AC = AB + BC

- Substitute the values of AB and BC in the expression of AC

∴ AC = 2x + 2x

∴ AC = 4x

∵ AC = 5x - 9

- Equate the two values of AC

∴ 5x - 9 = 4x

- Add 9 to both sides

∴ 5x = 4x + 9

- Subtract 4x from both sides

∴ x = 9

- Substitute the value of x in any expression of AC

∵ AC = 4x

∵ x = 9

∴ AC = 4(9) = 36

* The measure of segment AC is 36 units

What is the maximum value of the function f(x)= 12 - 3sin (3pi/2 x)

Natali [406]

The lowest value of sinα is -1.

When x=1, you get:

$f\left( x \right) =12-3\sin { \left( \frac { 3 }{ 2 } \pi \right) } \\ \\ =12-3\left( -1 \right) \\ \\ =12+3\\ \\ =15$

So the maximum value of the function is 15.

Suppose that surface σ is parameterized by r(u,v)=⟨ucos(3v),usin(3v),v⟩, 0≤u≤7 and 0≤v≤2π3 and f(x,y,z)=x2+y2+z2. Set up the sur

Bad White [126]

Looks like you have most of the details already, but you're missing one crucial piece.

$\sigma$ is parameterized by

$\vec r(u,v)=\langle u\cos3v,u\sin3v,v\rangle$

for $0\le u\le7$ and $0\le v\le\frac{2\pi}3$ , and a normal vector to this surface is

$\dfrac{\partial\vec r}{\partial u}\times\dfrac{\partial\vec r}{\partial v}=\left\langle\sin3v,-\cos3v,3u\right\rangle$

with norm

$\left\|\dfrac{\partial\vec r}{\partial u}\times\dfrac{\partial\vec r}{\partial v}\right\|=\sqrt{\sin^23v+(-\cos3v)^2+(3u)^2}=\sqrt{9u^2+1}$

So the integral of $f(x,y,z)=x^2+y^2+z^2$ is

$\displaystyle\iint_\sigma f(x,y,z)\,\mathrm dA=\boxed{\int_0^{2\pi/3}\int_0^7(u^2+v^2)\sqrt{9u^2+1}\,\mathrm du\,\mathrm dv}$
