Problem 215

Check out the attached image. Line up the letters ABC and CDE so the first set of letters are over the second set of letters. Order is important here. Note how A corresponds to C (second C), B corresponds to D, and (the first) C corresponds to E.

We have this mapping:

A <--> C

B <--> D

C <--> E

This means...

Angle BAC corresponds to Angle DCE (red angles)

Angle ABC corresponds to Angle CDE (blue angles)

Angle BCA corresponds to Angle DEC (green angles)

It also means...

Side BC corresponds to Side DE (red sides)

Side AC corresponds to Side CE (blue sides)

Side AB corresponds to Side CD (green sides)

Check out the attached image which I hope clears up any confusion you may have. Often I think it helps to represent stuff like this in a visual way.

Problem 216

Answer: True

Since triangle ABC is congruent to triangle DEF, this means that side AB is congruent to side ED. These are corresponding sides. Since AB = 6, this means ED = 6 as well.

Find an equation of the tangent line to the curve 2(x2+y2)2=25(x2−y2) (a lemniscate) at the point (−3,1). An equation of the tan

valina [46]

$2(x^2+y^2)^2=25(x^2-y^2)$

Let $y=y(x)$ , so that differentiating both sides wrt $x$ gives

$4(x^2+y^2)\left(2x+2y\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dx}\right)=25\left(2x-2y\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dx}\right)$

If $x=-3$ and $y=1$ , the above reduces to

$40\left(-6+2\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dx}\right)=25\left(-6-2\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dx}\right)\implies\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dx}=\dfrac9{13}$

This is the slope of the tangent line, which has equation

$y-1=\dfrac9{13}(x+3)\implies\boxed{y=\dfrac{9x+40}{13}}$

Some people think it is unlucky if the 13th day of month falls on a Friday. show that in that there year (non-leap or leap) ther

Vlad1618 [11]

<span>There are several ways to do this problem. One of them is to realize that there's only 14 possible calendars for any year (a year may start on any of 7 days, and a year may be either a leap year, or a non-leap year. So 7*2 = 14 possible calendars for any year). And since there's only 14 different possibilities, it's quite easy to perform an exhaustive search to prove that any year has between 1 and 3 Friday the 13ths. Let's first deal with non-leap years. Initially, I'll determine what day of the week the 13th falls for each month for a year that starts on Sunday. Jan - Friday Feb - Monday Mar - Monday Apr - Thursday May - Saturday Jun - Tuesday Jul - Thursday Aug - Sunday Sep - Wednesday Oct - Friday Nov - Monday Dec - Wednesday Now let's count how many times for each weekday, the 13th falls there. Sunday - 1 Monday - 3 Tuesday - 1 Wednesday - 2 Thursday - 2 Friday - 2 Saturday - 1 The key thing to notice is that there is that the number of times the 13th falls upon a weekday is always in the range of 1 to 3 days. And if the non-leap year were to start on any other day of the week, the numbers would simply rotate to the next days. The above list is generated for a year where January 1st falls on a Sunday. If instead it were to fall on a Monday, then the value above for Sunday would be the value for Monday. The value above for Monday would be the value for Tuesday, etc. So we've handled all possible non-leap years. Let's do that again for a leap year starting on a Sunday. We get: Jan - Friday Feb - Monday Mar - Tuesday Apr - Friday May - Sunday Jun - Wednesday Jul - Friday Aug - Monday Sep - Thursday Oct - Saturday Nov - Tuesday Dec - Thursday And the weekday totals are: Sunday - 1 Monday - 2 Tuesday - 2 Wednesday - 1 Thursday - 2 Friday - 3 Saturday - 1 And once again, for every weekday, the total is between 1 and 3. And the same argument applies for every leap year. And since we've covered both leap and non-leap years. Then we've demonstrated that for every possible year, Friday the 13th will happen at least once, and no more than 3 times.</span>
