Answer:

Therefore the required point A(x₁ , y₁)  = A( -3 , 4 )

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The midpoint of segment AB is M(1,-3)

and B(5,-10),

Let

point A( x₁ , y₁)  

point B( x₂ , y₂) ≡ (5 , -10)

M(x , y) = (1 , -3 )

To Find:

point A( x₁ , y₁)  = ?

Solution:

M is the midpoint of segment AB.    {Given}

BY Mid point Formula we have

M(x,y)=(\frac{x_{1}+x_{2} }{2}, \frac{y_{1}+y_{2} }{2})

Substituting the given values in above equation we get

M( 1, -3)=(\frac{x_{1}+5 }{2}, \frac{y_{1}-10 }{2})\\\\\textrm{on equating  the X coordinate and Y coordinate of M we get}\\1 =\frac{x_{1}+5 }{2}\\\\and\\-3=\frac{y_{1}-10 }{2}\\\\\therefore x_{1}+5=2\ and\ y_{1}-10 =-6\\\\\therefore x_{1} = 2-5=-3\ and\ y_{1}=10-6=4\\\\\therefore x_{1} = -3\ and \ y_{1}=4\\\\\therefore A(x_{1},y_{1})=A(-3,4)

Therefore the required point A(x₁ , y₁)  = A( -3 , 4 )

Use Simpson's Rule with n = 10 to approximate the area of the surface obtained by rotating the curve about the x-axis. Compare y
DiKsa [7]

The area of the surface is given exactly by the integral,

\displaystyle\pi\int_0^5\sqrt{1+(y'(x))^2}\,\mathrm dx

We have

y(x)=\dfrac15x^5\implies y'(x)=x^4

so the area is

\displaystyle\pi\int_0^5\sqrt{1+x^8}\,\mathrm dx

We split up the domain of integration into 10 subintervals,

[0, 1/2], [1/2, 1], [1, 3/2], ..., [4, 9/2], [9/2, 5]

where the left and right endpoints for the i-th subinterval are, respectively,

\ell_i=\dfrac{5-0}{10}(i-1)=\dfrac{i-1}2

r_i=\dfrac{5-0}{10}i=\dfrac i2

with midpoint

m_i=\dfrac{\ell_i+r_i}2=\dfrac{2i-1}4

with 1\le i\le10.

Over each subinterval, we interpolate f(x)=\sqrt{1+x^8} with the quadratic polynomial,

p_i(x)=f(\ell_i)\dfrac{(x-m_i)(x-r_i)}{(\ell_i-m_i)(\ell_i-r_i)}+f(m_i)\dfrac{(x-\ell_i)(x-r_i)}{(m_i-\ell_i)(m_i-r_i)}+f(r_i)\dfrac{(x-\ell_i)(x-m_i)}{(r_i-\ell_i)(r_i-m_i)}

Then

\displaystyle\int_0^5f(x)\,\mathrm dx\approx\sum_{i=1}^{10}\int_{\ell_i}^{r_i}p_i(x)\,\mathrm dx

It turns out that the latter integral reduces significantly to

\displaystyle\int_0^5f(x)\,\mathrm dx\approx\frac56\left(f(0)+4f\left(\frac{0+5}2\right)+f(5)\right)=\frac56\left(1+\sqrt{390,626}+\dfrac{\sqrt{390,881}}4\right)

which is about 651.918, so that the area is approximately 651.918\pi\approx\boxed{2048}.

Compare this to actual value of the integral, which is closer to 1967.

If a snowball melts so that its surface area decreases at a rate of 3 cm2/min, find the rate (in cm/min) at which the diameter d
grin007 [14]

Answer:

The diameter decreases at a rate of 0.053 cm/min.

Step-by-step explanation:

Surface area of an snowball

The surface area of an snowball has the following equation:

S_{a} = \pi d^2

In which d is the diameter.

Implicit differentiation:

To solve this question, we differentiate the equation for the surface area implictly, in function of t. So

\frac{dS_{a}}{dt} = 2d\pi\frac{dd}{dt}

Surface area decreases at a rate of 3 cm2/min

This means that \frac{dS_{a}}{dt} = -3

Tind the rate (in cm/min) at which the diameter decreases when the diameter is 9 cm.

This is \frac{dd}{dt} when d = 9. So

\frac{dS_{a}}{dt} = 2d\pi\frac{dd}{dt}

-3 = 2*9\pi\frac{dd}{dt}

\frac{dd}{dt} = -\frac{3}{18\pi}

\frac{dd}{dt} = -0.053

The diameter decreases at a rate of 0.053 cm/min.
