Answer:

AP = 22

Step-by-step explanation:

In a triangle, the centroid divides the median in the ratio 2:1.

It is given that AD is the median and AD = 33

It is also given that P is the centroid on the median AD.

Therefore, P divides AD in the ratio 2:1.

$\frac{AP}{PD} =\frac{2}{1}$

AP = 2k and PD = k

AD = 33

AP + PD = 33

2k + k = 33

3k = 33

k = 11

So, AP = 2k = 2(11) = 22

<u>Differentiate using the Quotient Rule</u> –

$\qquad$ $\pink{\twoheadrightarrow \sf \dfrac{d}{dx} \bigg[\dfrac{f(x)}{g(x)} \bigg]= \dfrac{ g(x)\:\dfrac{d}{dx}\bigg[f(x)\bigg] -f(x)\dfrac{d}{dx}\:\bigg[g(x)\bigg]}{g(x)^2}}\\$

According to the given question, we have –

f(x) = x^3+5x+2
g(x) = x^2-1

Let's solve it!

$\qquad$ $\green{\twoheadrightarrow \bf \dfrac{d}{dx}\bigg[ \dfrac{x^3+5x+2 }{x^2-1}\bigg]} \\$

$\qquad$ $\twoheadrightarrow \sf \dfrac{(x^2-1) \dfrac{d}{dx}(x^3+5x+2) - ( x^3+5x+2) \dfrac{d}{dx}(x^2-1)}{(x^2-1)^2 }\\$

$\qquad$ $\twoheadrightarrow \sf \dfrac{(x^2-1)(3x^2+5) - ( x^3+5x+2) 2x}{(x^2-1)^2 }\\$

$\qquad$ $\pink{\sf \because \dfrac{d}{dx} x^n = nx^{n-1} }\\$

$\qquad$ $\twoheadrightarrow \sf \dfrac{3x^4+5x^2-3x^2-5-(2x^4+10x^2+4x)}{(x^2-1)^2 }\\$

$\qquad$ $\twoheadrightarrow \sf \dfrac{3x^4+5x^2-3x^2-5-2x^4-10x^2-4x}{(x^2-1)^2 }\\$

$\qquad$ $\green{\twoheadrightarrow \bf \dfrac{x^4-8x^2-4x-5}{(x^2-1)^2 }}\\$

$\qquad$ $\pink{\therefore \bf{\green{\underline{\underline{\dfrac{d}{dx} \dfrac{x^3+5x+2 }{x^2-1}} = \dfrac{x^4-8x^2-4x-5}{(x^2-1)^2 }}}}}\\\\$
