y=\ln(6+x^3)\implies y'=\dfrac{3x^2}{6+x^3}

The arc length of the curve is

\displaystyle\int_0^5\sqrt{1+\frac{9x^4}{(6+x^3)^2}}\,\mathrm dx

which has a value of about 5.99086.

Let f(x)=\sqrt{1+\frac{9x^4}{(6+x^3)^2}}. Split up the interval of integration into 10 subintervals,

[0, 1/2], [1/2, 1], [1, 3/2], ..., [9/2, 5]

The left and right endpoints are given respectively by the sequences,

\ell_i=\dfrac{i-1}2

r_i=\dfrac i2

with 1\le i\le10.

These subintervals have midpoints given by

m_i=\dfrac{\ell_i+r_i}2=\dfrac{2i-1}4

Over each subinterval, we approximate f(x) with the quadratic polynomial

p_i(x)=f(\ell_i)\dfrac{(x-m_i)(x-r_i)}{(\ell_i-m_i)(\ell_i-r_i)}+f(m_i)\dfrac{(x-\ell_i)(x-r_i)}{(m_i-\ell_i)(m_i-r_i)}+f(r_i)\dfrac{(x-\ell_i)(x-m_i)}{(r_i-\ell_i)(r_i-m_i)}

so that the integral we want to find can be estimated as

\displaystyle\sum_{i=1}^{10}\int_{\ell_i}^{r_i}p_i(x)\,\mathrm dx

It turns out that

\displaystyle\int_{\ell_i}^{r_i}p_i(x)\,\mathrm dx=\frac{f(\ell_i)+4f(m_i)+f(r_i)}6

so that the arc length is approximately

\displaystyle\sum_{i=1}^{10}\frac{f(\ell_i)+4f(m_i)+f(r_i)}6\approx5.99086

Answer:

  • The number at B is 10.6

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number at B be x.

We know that distance between two points on the number line is the absolute value of the difference of numbers at those points.

Then distances representing the lengths of segments AB and BC are:

  • AB = x - 9
  • BC = 13 - x

We are given the ratio of segments:

  • AB/BC = 2/3

Substitute and solve for x:

  • (x - 9)/(13 - x) = 2/3
  • 3(x - 9) = 2(13 - x)
  • 3x - 27 = 26 - 2x
  • 3x + 2x = 26 + 27
  • 5x = 53
  • x = 53/5
  • x = 10.6

Help asappppp? i’m having trouble on wat the 1/4 point is
blagie [28]

Answer:

  (-14, 5.5)

Step-by-step explanation:

Perhaps the easiest way to find the 1/4 point is to find (x, y), then find the midpoint between that and M.

  (x, y) = 2M -(13, 25) = 2(-5, 12) -(13, 25) = (-23, -1)

Then the 1/4 point is ...

  ((-23, -1) +M)/2 = ((-23, -1) +(-5, 12))/2 = (-28, 11)/2 = (-14, 5.5)

_____

If we call the end points A(x, y) and B(13, 25), then we know ...

  M = (A+B)/2

  A = 2M -B . . . . we'll need this in a bit

and the 1/4 point Q is such that ...

  (Q -A)/(B -A) = 1/4

  4Q -4A = B -A . . . . cross multipliy

  Q = (B +3A)/4 = (B +3(2M -B))/4 = (6M -2B)/4 . . . . solve for Q

  Q = (3M -B)/2 . . . . reduce the fractions

  Q = (3(-5, 12) -(13, 25))/2 = (-28, 11)/2 = (-14, 5.5) . . . as above
