Which combination of integers can be used to generate the Pythagorean triple (5,12,13)

Kitty [74]

Answer:

x=3 and y=2

Step-by-step explanation:

The pythagorean triples are generated by two integrers x and y that can be found by solving the following system of equations:

$\left \{ {{x^{2}-y^{2}=5}\atop {2xy=12}} \atop {x^{2}+y^{2}=13}}\right.$

Solve the system of equations, and we get that the solution is x=3 and y=2.

Therefore, the combination of integrers that ca be used to generate the pythagorea triple are: x=3 and y=2

Find the critical numbers of the function. (Enter your answers as a comma-separated list. Use n to denote any arbitrary integer

lyudmila [28]

If

$f(\theta)=10\cos\theta+5\sin^2\theta$

then the derivative is

$f'(\theta)=-10\sin\theta+10\sin\theta\cos\theta$

Critical points occur where $f'(\theta)=0$ . This happens for

$-10\sin\theta+10\sin\theta\cos\theta=0$

$-10\sin\theta(1-\cos\theta)=0$

$\implies-10\sin\theta=0\text{ or }1-\cos\theta=0$

In the first case, we find

$-10\sin\theta=0\implies\sin\theta=0\implies\theta=n\pi$

In the second,

$1-\cos\theta=0\implies\cos\theta=1\implies\theta=2n\pi$

So all the critical points occur at multiples of $\pi$ , or $n\pi$ . (This includes all the even multiples of $\pi$ .)
