If the integral as written in my comment is accurate, then we have

I=\displaystyle\int_{3/2}^2\sqrt{(x-1)(3-x)}\,\mathrm dx

Expand the polynomial, then complete the square within the square root:

(x-1)(3-x)=-x^2+4x-3=1-(x-2)^2

I=\displaystyle\int_{3/2}^2\sqrt{1-(x-2)^2}\,\mathrm dx

Let x=2-\cos\theta and \mathrm dx=\sin\theta\,\mathrm d\theta:

I=\displaystyle\int_{\pi/3}^{\pi/2}\sqrt{1-(2-\cos\theta-2)^2}\sin\theta\,\mathrm d\theta

I=\displaystyle\int_{\pi/3}^{\pi/2}\sqrt{1-\cos^2\theta}\sin\theta\,\mathrm d\theta

I=\displaystyle\int_{\pi/3}^{\pi/2}\sqrt{\sin^2\theta}\sin\theta\,\mathrm d\theta

Recall that \sqrt{x^2}=|x| for all x, but for all \theta in the integration interval we have \sin\theta>0. So \sqrt{\sin^2\theta}=\sin\theta:

I=\displaystyle\int_{\pi/3}^{\pi/2}\sin^2\theta\,\mathrm d\theta

Recall the double angle identity,

\sin^2\theta=\dfrac{1-\cos(2\theta)}2

I=\displaystyle\frac12\int_{\pi/3}^{\pi/2}(1-\cos(2\theta))\,\mathrm d\theta

I=\dfrac\theta2-\dfrac{\sin(2\theta)}4\bigg|_{\pi/3}^{\pi/2}

I=\dfrac\pi4-\left(\dfrac\pi6-\dfrac{\sqrt3}8\right)=\boxed{\dfrac\pi{12}+\dfrac{\sqrt3}8}

You can determine the more general result in the same way.

I=\displaystyle\int_p^q\sqrt{(x-a)(b-x)}\,\mathrm dx

Complete the square to get

(x-a)(b-x)=-(x-a)(x-b)=-x^2+(a+b)x-ab=\dfrac{(a+b)^2}4-ab-\left(x-\dfrac{a+b}2\right)^2

and let c=\frac{(a+b)^2}4-ab for brevity. Note that

c=\dfrac{(a+b)^2}4-ab=\dfrac{a^2-2ab+b^2}4=\dfrac{(a-b)^2}4

I=\displaystyle\int_p^q\sqrt{c-\left(x-\dfrac{a+b}2\right)^2}\,\mathrm dx

Make the following substitution,

x=\dfrac{a+b}2-\sqrt c\,\cos\theta

\mathrm dx=\sqrt c\,\sin\theta\,\mathrm d\theta

and the integral reduces like before to

I=\displaystyle\int_P^Q\sqrt{c-c\cos^2\theta}\,\sin\theta\,\mathrm d\theta

where

p=\dfrac{a+b}2-\sqrt c\,\cos P\implies P=\cos^{-1}\dfrac{\frac{a+b}2-p}{\sqrt c}

q=\dfrac{a+b}2-\sqrt c\,\cos Q\implies Q=\cos^{-1}\dfrac{\frac{a+b}2-q}{\sqrt c}

I=\displaystyle\frac{\sqrt c}2\int_P^Q(1-\cos(2\theta))\,\mathrm d\theta

(Depending on the interval [<em>p</em>, <em>q</em>] and thus [<em>P</em>, <em>Q</em>], the square root of cosine squared may not always reduce to sine.)

Resolving the integral and replacing <em>c</em>, with

c=\dfrac{(a-b)^2}4\implies\sqrt c=\dfrac{|a-b|}2=\dfrac{b-a}2

because a, gives

I=\dfrac{b-a}2(\cos(2P)-\cos(2Q)-(P-Q))

Without knowing <em>p</em> and <em>q</em> explicitly, there's not much more to say.

Is the function f(x) =(4)^x -2 an exponential function. If so, identify the base. If not, why not?
Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

Yes.

Base: 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have 4 to the power of x, we do indeed have an exponent. The -2 just signifies vertical movement down.

Can someone help me for this question please? I just keep getting wrong answer! Pls someone explain to me step by step! ASAP!!!
Kobotan [32]

Answer:

  84 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

This problem involves several steps. The first step is to realize that the given figure does not show the required number of vertical stringers. It shows 5, but there will be 7 of them. The given diagram is helpful in that it shows a vertical stringer on the centerline of the arches.

The second step is to write a function that will tell you how long the stringer will be. I find it convenient to write the equation for an arch shape such as this using the parent function h(x) = 1-x^2. This parent function gives an arch of height 1 and width 1 from center (a total width of 2). You want an arch that is 16 ft high and 40 ft wide (one side from center), so you must scale this parent function both horizontally (by 40) and vertically (by 16). It becomes ...

  H(x) = 16(1 -(x/40)^2)

The taller arch is twice this height, so the length of a vertical stringer at position x is

  vertical length = 2H(x) -H(x) = H(x)

That is, the function H(x) we defined can be used to find the length of the stringers.

The third step is to find the stringer lengths. It can save some energy if you realize that the problem is symmetrical, so that the stringer at x=-30 is the same length as the one at x=30. We need to find stringer lengths every 10 feet from -40 feet to +40 feet. Of course, the ones at ±40 feet are zero length, because that is where the two arches meet.

  H(-30) = 16(1 -(3/4)^2) = 7

  H(-20) = 16(1 -(1/2)^2) = 12

  H(-10) = 16(1 -(1/4)^2) = 15

  H(0) = 16

Then the fourth step is to add up the stringer lengths, rounding the result as required.

  7 +12 +15 +16 +15 +12 +7 = 16 + 2(34) = 84 . . . . feet (no rounding needed)

Finally, you need to answer the question asked:

  The sum of vertical stringer lengths is 84 feet.
