Choice 1. He did not square 40, he just multiplied by 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:

According to the Pythagorean theorem, the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides.

The hypotenuse measures c cm while the other sides are 40 cm and 9 cm each.

Step 2:

According to the Pythagorean theorem,

9^{2} +40^{2} = c^{2}.

81 + 1600 = c^{2} .

1681 = c^{2} .

\sqrt{1681} = c.

This is the correct solution to the given problem. Hans did not square 40, he just multiplied by 2. Which is the first option.

What does it mean to "model with mathematics"?
Sergeu [11.5K]

Answer:

See below.  To model with mathematics is to test ideas using math and computer programs to simulate an object or action.

Step-by-step explanation:

To "model with mathematics" means that equations and mathematical relationships will be employed to simulate an object or action instead of using the actual object or action.  One example would be the design of a roller coaster.  The forces inherent on a roller coaster design can be predicted using Newton's laws and other principles of physics.  F=ma may be used to predict the force pulling the car down the initial incline and that can be used to calculate speed at the bottom.  A change in the car's direction will also produce forces that may be calculated,  One might ask "Will this turn produce more force than the seat belt can safely handle?"  Rather than building a coaster and testing it with your business partner in the seat, a mathematical model can be used to determine the risks and maximum forces.  You'll have a much better chance of keeping your friend intact on the actual coaster.  Mathematical models are also used to predict weather, the impact of monetary policy of the economy, and even which Netflix movie you are most likely to enjoy.  The design of aircraft, ships, cars, and many other items are done using computer-aided design programs where the various forces can be modeled to determine optimum design without actually building the item.  This can save enormous amounts of time and money to be able to test ideas on the computer before starting actual assembly.

Find an equation for the line tangent to the curve at the point defined by the given value of t. Also, find the value of d^2y/dx
nikdorinn [45]

Answer:

Differentiation will give you the gradient for the tangent at any point, and you use the product rule whenever a function can be thought of as two functions multiplied together.

If

f

(

x

)

=

g

(

x

)

×

h

(

x

)

then

f

'

(

x

)

=

g

'

(

x

)

h

(

x

)

+

g

(

x

)

h

'

(

x

)

so if

y

=

x

×

sin

x

then

d

y

d

x

=

1

×

sin

x

+

x

×

cos

x

=

sin

x

+

x

cos

x

We know that

x

=

π

2

, so the gradient is

m

=

sin

(

π

2

)

+

π

2

cos

(

π

2

)

=

1

+

π

2

×

0

=

1

Therefore, we can say that

y

=

m

x

+

c

y

=

(

1

)

x

+

c

y

=

x

+

c

So all we really need to find now is the value for

c

, the

y

intercept. We do this by working out a point

(

x

,

y

)

on the graph. We are already given that

x

=

π

2

, so

y

=

x

sin

x

=

π

2

sin

(

π

2

)

=

π

2

×

1

=

π

2

∴

(

x

,

y

)

=

(

π

2

,

π

2

)

Now we substitute this into the equation we already have for the tangent,

y

=

x

+

c

,

(

x

,

y

)

=

(

π

2

,

π

2

)

π

2

=

π

2

+

c

c

=

π

2

−

π

2

=

0

∴

y

=

x

+

c

=

x

+

(

0

)

=

x

which means the tangent to the curve

y

=

x

sin

x

at

(

π

2

,

π

2

)

is simply

y

=

x

.
