18
multiply six-eighths by 24
reduce 8 and 24 (divide them both by 8)
and you'd get 3 over 1 multiplied by 6 over 1
and you multiply 6 and 3 to get 18

A rectangular floor is 7 yards long and 3 yards wide. what is the area of the floor in square feet? be sure to include the corre

mario62 [17]

There are a couple ways to do this, but basically you need to convert the units.

7 yards x 3 ft/yard = 21 feet 
4 yards x 3 ft/yard = 12 feet 
So the area (in sq. ft) will be: 
21 x 12 
= 252 sq. ft. 

Alternatively, you can figure the area in square *yards* and then multiply by 9 sq. ft per sq. yard. 
7 yards x 4 yards x 9 sq. ft/sq. yard 
= 252 sq. ft.

hope this helps :)

Replace $x\mapsto \tan^{-1}(x)$ :

$\displaystyle \int_0^{\frac\pi2} \sqrt[3]{\tan(x)} \ln(\tan(x)) \, dx = \int_0^\infty \frac{\sqrt[3]{x} \ln(x)}{1+x^2} \, dx$

Split the integral at x = 1, and consider the latter one over [1, ∞) in which we replace $x\mapsto\frac1x$ :

$\displaystyle \int_1^\infty \frac{\sqrt[3]{x} \ln(x)}{1+x^2} \, dx = \int_0^1 \frac{\ln\left(\frac1x\right)}{\sqrt[3]{x} \left(1+\frac1{x^2}\right)} \frac{dx}{x^2} = - \int_0^1 \frac{\ln(x)}{\sqrt[3]{x} (1+x^2)} \, dx$

Then the original integral is equivalent to

$\displaystyle \int_0^1 \frac{\ln(x)}{1+x^2} \left(\sqrt[3]{x} - \frac1{\sqrt[3]{x}}\right) \, dx$

Recall that for |x| < 1,

$\displaystyle \sum_{n=0}^\infty x^n = \frac1{1-x}$

so that we can expand the integrand, then interchange the sum and integral to get

$\displaystyle \sum_{n=0}^\infty (-1)^n \int_0^1 \left(x^{2n+\frac13} - x^{2n-\frac13}\right) \ln(x) \, dx$

Integrate by parts, with

$u = \ln(x) \implies du = \dfrac{dx}x$

$du = \left(x^{2n+\frac13} - x^{2n-\frac13}\right) \, dx \implies u = \dfrac{x^{2n+\frac43}}{2n+\frac43} - \dfrac{x^{2n+\frac23}}{2n+\frac23}$

$\implies \displaystyle \sum_{n=0}^\infty (-1)^{n+1} \int_0^1 \left(\dfrac{x^{2n+\frac43}}{2n+\frac43} - \dfrac{x^{2n+\frac13}}{2n-\frac13}\right) \, dx \\\\ = \sum_{n=0}^\infty (-1)^{n+1} \left(\frac1{\left(2n+\frac43\right)^2} - \frac1{\left(2n+\frac23\right)^2}\right) \\\\ = \frac94 \sum_{n=0}^\infty (-1)^{n+1} \left(\frac1{(3n+2)^2} - \frac1{(3n+1)^2}\right)$

Recall the Fourier series we used in an earlier question [27217075]; if $f(x)=\left(x-\frac12\right)^2$ where 0 ≤ x ≤ 1 is a periodic function, then

$\displaystyle f(x) = \frac1{12} + \frac1{\pi^2} \sum_{n=1}^\infty \frac{\cos(2\pi n x)}{n^2}$

$\implies \displaystyle f(x) = \frac1{12} + \frac1{\pi^2} \left(\sum_{n=0}^\infty \frac{\cos(2\pi(3n+1)x)}{(3n+1)^2} + \sum_{n=0}^\infty \frac{\cos(2\pi(3n+2)x)}{(3n+2)^2} + \sum_{n=1}^\infty \frac{\cos(2\pi(3n)x)}{(3n)^2}\right)$

$\implies \displaystyle f(x) = \frac1{12} + \frac1{\pi^2} \left(\sum_{n=0}^\infty \frac{\cos(6\pi n x + 2\pi x)}{(3n+1)^2} + \sum_{n=0}^\infty \frac{\cos(6\pi n x + 4\pi x)}{(3n+2)^2} + \sum_{n=1}^\infty \frac{\cos(6\pi n x)}{(3n)^2}\right)$

Evaluate f and its Fourier expansion at x = 1/2 :

$\displaystyle 0 = \frac1{12} + \frac1{\pi^2} \left(\sum_{n=0}^\infty \frac{(-1)^{n+1}}{(3n+1)^2} + \sum_{n=0}^\infty \frac{(-1)^n}{(3n+2)^2} + \sum_{n=1}^\infty \frac{(-1)^n}{(3n)^2}\right)$

$\implies \displaystyle -\frac{\pi^2}{12} - \frac19 \underbrace{\sum_{n=1}^\infty \frac{(-1)^n}{n^2}}_{-\frac{\pi^2}{12}} = - \sum_{n=0}^\infty (-1)^{n+1} \left(\frac1{(3n+2)^2} - \frac1{(3n+1)^2}\right)$
