Answer:

x = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use the Angle Bisector of a triangle and proportions to solve this problem. Put the smaller triangle over the larger triangle.

AB x+4

------ = ----------

AC 2x+1

8 x+4

------ = ----------

12 2x+1

Using cross products

8(2x+1) = 12(x+4)

Distribute

16x+8 = 12x+48

Subtract 12x from each side

16x-12x +8 = 12x-12x+48

4x +8 = 48

Subtract 8 from each side

4x+8-8 = 48-8

4x = 40

Divide by 4

4x/4 =40/4

x = 10

You are given the parametric equations x=2cos(θ),y=sin(2θ). (a) List all of the points (x,y) where the tangent line is horizonta

vladimir1956 [14]

Answer:

The solutions listed from the smallest to the greatest are:

x: $-\sqrt{2}$ $-\sqrt{2}$ $\sqrt{2}$ $\sqrt{2}$

y: -1 1 -1 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of the tangent line at a point of the curve is:

$m = \frac{\frac{dy}{dt} }{\frac{dx}{dt} }$

$m = -\frac{\cos 2\theta}{\sin \theta}$

The tangent line is horizontal when $m = 0$ . Then:

$\cos 2\theta = 0$

$2\theta = \cos^{-1}0$

$\theta = \frac{1}{2}\cdot \cos^{-1} 0$

$\theta = \frac{1}{2}\cdot \left(\frac{\pi}{2}+i\cdot \pi \right)$ , for all $i \in \mathbb{N}_{O}$

$\theta = \frac{\pi}{4} + i\cdot \frac{\pi}{2}$ , for all $i \in \mathbb{N}_{O}$

The first four solutions are:

x: $\sqrt{2}$ $-\sqrt{2}$ $-\sqrt{2}$ $\sqrt{2}$

y: 1 -1 1 -1

The solutions listed from the smallest to the greatest are:

x: $-\sqrt{2}$ $-\sqrt{2}$ $\sqrt{2}$ $\sqrt{2}$

y: -1 1 -1 1

olchik [2.2K]

Answer:

x = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

=(-5-√-75)/2=(-5-5i√ 3 )/2= -2.5000-4.3301i

x =(-5+√-75)/2=(-5+5i√ 3 )/2= -2.5000+4.3301i

x = 5
