Compare using the quadratic formula to find solutions to a quadratic equation having irrational roots to that of one that has ra

tional roots.

For a general quadratic equation with rational coefficients

ax^2+bx+c=0,\,\,\,\,a,b,c \in Q

the two solutions are:

x_{1,2} = \frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{D}}{2a}

where D is the determinant.

Clearly, a solution will a rational number as long as \sqrt{D} is rational. However, it can be shown that a square root of an integer is only rational if its value is an integer. In other words, \sqrt{D} is rational if and only if the determinant is a perfect square, D=n^2, \,\,\,n\in N, otherwise the square root is irrational. Therefore the coefficients of quadratic equations that are to have rational solutions must satisfy the following condition:

b^2-4ac=n^2\,\,\,n\in N

Find \(\int \dfrac{x}{\sqrt{1-x^4}}\) Please, help

_______________


Evaluate the indefinite integral:

\mathsf{\displaystyle\int\! \frac{x}{\sqrt{1-x^4}}\,dx}\\\\\\ \mathsf{=\displaystyle\int\! \frac{1}{2}\cdot 2\cdot \frac{1}{\sqrt{1-(x^2)^2}}\,dx}\\\\\\ \mathsf{=\displaystyle \frac{1}{2}\int\! \frac{1}{\sqrt{1-(x^2)^2}}\cdot 2x\,dx\qquad\quad(i)}


Make a trigonometric substitution:

\begin{array}{lcl}
\mathsf{x^2=sin\,t}&\quad\Rightarrow\quad&\mathsf{2x\,dx=cos\,t\,dt}\\\\
&&\mathsf{t=arcsin(x^2)\,,\qquad 0\ \textless \ x\ \textless \ \frac{\pi}{2}}\end{array}


so the integral (i) becomes

\mathsf{=\displaystyle\frac{1}{2}\int\!\frac{1}{\sqrt{1-sin^2\,t}}\cdot cos\,t\,dt\qquad\quad (but~1-sin^2\,t=cos^2\,t)}\\\\\\
\mathsf{=\displaystyle\frac{1}{2}\int\!\frac{1}{\sqrt{cos^2\,t}}\cdot cos\,t\,dt}

\mathsf{=\displaystyle\frac{1}{2}\int\!\frac{1}{cos\,t}\cdot cos\,t\,dt}\\\\\\
\mathsf{=\displaystyle\frac{1}{2}\int\!\f dt}\\\\\\
\mathsf{=\displaystyle\frac{1}{2}\,t+C}


Now, substitute back for t = arcsin(x²), and you finally get the result:

\mathsf{\displaystyle\int\! \frac{x}{\sqrt{1-(x^2)^2}}\,dx=\frac{1}{2}\,arcsin(x^2)+C}          ✔

________


You could also make

x² = cos t

and you would get this expression for the integral:

\mathsf{\displaystyle\int\! \frac{x}{\sqrt{1-(x^2)^2}}\,dx=-\,\frac{1}{2}\,arccos(x^2)+C_2}          ✔


which is fine, because those two functions have the same derivative, as the difference between them is a constant:

\mathsf{\dfrac{1}{2}\,arcsin(x^2)-\left(-\dfrac{1}{2}\,arccos(x^2)\right)}\\\\\\
=\mathsf{\dfrac{1}{2}\,arcsin(x^2)+\dfrac{1}{2}\,arccos(x^2)}\\\\\\
=\mathsf{\dfrac{1}{2}\cdot \left[\,arcsin(x^2)+arccos(x^2)\right]}\\\\\\
=\mathsf{\dfrac{1}{2}\cdot \dfrac{\pi}{2}}

\mathsf{=\dfrac{\pi}{4}}         ✔


and that constant does not interfer in the differentiation process, because the derivative of a constant is zero.


I hope this helps. =)

Jack took a test and got 13 out of 17 points. He took a make-up test and got 12 out of 15 points.
andrezito [222]
The answer is choice A, a 3.5% increase.
12/15 = 80%
13/17 = 76.47%

80% - 76.47% = 3.5%

1-cot^2a+cot^4a=sin^2a(1+cot^6a) prove it.​
aliina [53]

Step-by-step explanation:

We have

1-cot²a + cot⁴a = sin²a(1+cot⁶a)

First, we can take a look at the right side. It expands to sin²a + cot⁶(a)sin²(a) = sin²a + cos⁶a/sin⁴a (this is the expanded right side) as cot(a) = cos(a)/sin(a), so cos⁶a = cos⁶a/sin⁶a. Therefore, it might be helpful to put everything in terms of sine and cosine to solve this.

We know 1 = sin²a+cos²a and cot(a) = cos(a)/sin(a), so we have

1-cot²a + cot⁴a = sin²a+cos²a-cos²a/sin²a + cos⁴a/sin⁴a

Next, we know that in the expanded right side, we have sin²a + something. We can use that to isolate the sin²a. The rest of the expanded right side has a denominator of sin⁴a, so we can make everything else have that denominator.

sin²a+cos²a-cos²a/sin²a + cos⁴a/sin⁴a

= sin²a + (cos²(a)sin⁴(a) - cos²(a)sin²(a) + cos⁴a)/sin⁴a

We can then factor cos²a out of the numerator

sin²a + (cos²(a)sin⁴(a) - cos²(a)sin²(a) + cos⁴a)/sin⁴a

= sin²a + cos²a (sin⁴a-sin²a+cos²a)/sin⁴a

Then, in the expanded right side, we can notice that the fraction has a numerator with only cos in it. We can therefore write sin⁴a in terms of cos (we don't want to write the sin²a term in terms of cos because it can easily add with cos²a to become 1, so we can hold that off for later) , so

sin²a = (1-cos²a)

sin⁴a = (1-cos²a)² = cos⁴a - 2cos²a + 1

sin²a + cos²a (sin⁴a-sin²a+cos²a)/sin⁴a

= sin²a + cos²a (cos⁴a-2cos²a+1-sin²a+cos²a)/sin⁴a

= sin²a + cos²a (cos⁴a-cos²a+1-sin²a)/sin⁴a

factor our the -cos²a-sin²a as -1(cos²a+sin²a) = -1(1) = -1

sin²a + cos²a (cos⁴a-cos²a+1-sin²a)/sin⁴a

=  sin²a + cos²a (cos⁴a-1 + 1)/sin⁴a

= sin²a + cos⁶a/sin⁴a

= sin²a(1+cos⁶a/sin⁶a)

= sin²a(1+cot⁶a)

FIRST GETS BRAINLLEST If each 12 feet on the scale drawing below equals 3 cm, what is the actual length of the green line?
ElenaW [278]

Answer:

12 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

You would only have to focus on the green line and then you just have to divide it by 12 and you get 4 and than you multiply 3 cm by 4 and the answer for the actual length of the green line will be 12 cm.
