Answer:

<u>AP = 13</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

See the attached figure.

CD = 10 and XY = 24

Line XY bisects and is perpendicular to AB and CD

∴ XY bisects at Y

∴ CY = 0.5 CD = 0.5 * 10 = 5

And from the geometry of the shape

P is the midpoint of XY

∴ XP = YP = 0.5 XY = 0.5 * 24 = 12

XY is perpendicular to CD

∴ ΔPYC is a right triangle at Y

∴ PC (hypotenuse) = $\sqrt{PY^2+YC^2} =\sqrt{12^2+5^2}=\sqrt{144+25} =\sqrt{169} =13$

From the figure AP = PC = 13

anygoal [31]

Answer:

t = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

t + 2 = 7 ( isolate t by subtracting 2 from both sides )

t = 7 - 2 = 5

Find the unit tangent vector T and the principal unit normal vector N for the following parameterized curve.

const2013 [10]

Answer:

$T(t) = ( -sin(t^2), cos(t^2) )\\\\N(t) = T'(t) / |T'(t) | = (-cos(t^2) , -sin(t^2))$

$T(t) =r'(t)/|r'(t)| = (2t/ \sqrt{4t^2 + 36} , -6/\sqrt{4t^2 + 36},0)$

$N(t) =T(t)/|T'(t)| = (3/(9 + t^2)^{1/2} , t/(9 + t^2)^{1/2},0)$

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember that for any curve $r(t)$

The tangent vector is given by

$T(t) = \frac{r'(t) }{| r'(t)| }$

And the normal vector is given by

$N(t) = \frac{T'(t)}{|T'(t)|}$

For this case, using the chain rule

$r'(t) = ( -10*2tsin(t^2) , 102t cos(t^2) )\\$

And also remember that

$|r'(t)| = \sqrt{(-10*2tsin(t^2))^2 + ( 10*2t cos(t^2) )^2} \\\\ = \sqrt{400 t^2*( sin(t^2)^2 + cos(t^2) ^2 })\\=\sqrt{400t^2} = 20t$

Therefore

$T(t) = r'(t) / |r'(t) | = ( -10*2tsin(t^2) , 10*2t cos(t^2) )/ 20t\\\\ = ( -10*2tsin(t^2)/ 20t , 10*2t cos(t^2) / 20t )\\= ( -sin(t^2), cos(t^2) )$

Similarly, using the quotient rule and the chain rule

$T'(t) = ( -2t cos(t^2) , -2t sin(t^2))$

And also

$|T'(t)| = \sqrt{ ( -2t cos(t^2))^2 + (-2t sin(t^2))^2} = \sqrt{ 4t^2 ( ( cos(t^2))^2 + ( sin(t^2))^2)} = \sqrt{4t^2} \\ = 2t$

Therefore

$N(t) = T'(t) / |T'(t) | = (-cos(t^2) , -sin(t^2))$

Notice that

1. $|N(t)| = |T(t) | = \sqrt{ cos(t^2)^2 + sin(t^2)^2 } = \sqrt{1} = 1$

2. $N(t)*T(T) = cos(t^2) sin(t^2 ) - cos(t^2) sin(t^2 ) = 0$

Simlarly

$r'(t) = (2t,-6,0) \\$

and

$|r'(t)| = \sqrt{(2t)^2 + 6^2} = \sqrt{4t^2 + 36}$

Therefore

$T(t) =r'(t)/|r'(t)| = (2t/ \sqrt{4t^2 + 36} , -6/\sqrt{4t^2 + 36},0)$

Then

$T'(t) = (9/(9 + t^2)^{3/2} , (3 t)/(9 + t^2)^{3/2},0)$

and also

$|T'(t)| = \sqrt{ ( (9/(9 + t^2)^{3/2} )^2 + ( (3 t)/(9 + t^2)^{3/2})^2 + 0^2 }\\= 3/(t^2 + 9 )$

And since

$N(t) =T(t)/|T'(t)| = (3/(9 + t^2)^{1/2} , t/(9 + t^2)^{1/2},0)$

A photograph is 4 inches high and 5 inches wide. You need to scale it up so it is 10 inches high. How wide should it be?

IrinaK [193]

Answer: 12.5 in. high

Step-by-step explanation: to get from 4 to 10, you have to muliplty by 2.5.

if you multiply 5 by 2.5, the answer is 12.5
