Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that the length of triangle base is 26, then let ABC  be the triangle and BC be the base of the triangle=26.Let DE be the parallel line to the base that divides triangle ABC into two equal area parts.

Now, Let AD=a, DB=b, DE=c, AE=d and EC=e, then

Since,  triangle ABC is similar to triangle ADE, thus using basic proportions, we get

\frac{AD}{AB}=\frac{DE}{BC}=\frac{AE}{AC}

\frac{AD}{AD+DB}=\frac{DE}{BC}=\frac{AE}{AE+EC}

\frac{a}{a+b}=\frac{c}{26}=\frac{d}{d+e}

Taking the first two equalities,we get

\frac{a}{a+b}=\frac{c}{26}

c=\frac{26a}{a+b}

Thus, the length of the segment between triangle legs is \frac{26a}{a+b}

Find the formula for the area of the shaded region in the figure.<br> x² = 4py<br> ہے
Alexandra [31]

The formula for the area of the shaded region in the figure.

x² = 4py is mathematically given as

A=\frac{8}{3} \sqrt{p h} \cdot h

<h3>What is the formula for the area of the shaded region in the figure?</h3>

Parameters

$x^{2}=4 p y$

$y=h$

\therefore x^{2}=4 p h \Rightarrow x=2 \sqrt{p h} \\

Generally, the equation for the Area is mathematically given as

& A=2 \int_{0}^{2 \sqrt{p h}}\left(h-\frac{x^{2}}{4 p}\right) d x \\\\& A=2\left(h x-\frac{x^{3}}{12 p}\right]_{0}^{2 \sqrt{p h}} \\\\& A=2\left[\left[h 2 \sqrt{p h}-\frac{1}{12 p} \cdot(2 \sqrt{p h})^{3}-0\right]\right. \\

&A=2\left[2 h^{3 / 2} \sqrt{p}-\frac{8(\sqrt{p})^{3}(\sqrt{h})^{3}}{12 p}-0\right] \\\\&A=2\left[2 h^{k / 2} \sqrt{p}-\frac{2}{3} \sqrt{p} \cdot h^{3 / 2}\right] \\\\&A=2 \times \frac{4 \sqrt{p} \cdot h^{3 / 2}}{3} \\\\&A=\frac{8}{3} \cdot \sqrt{p} \cdot \sqrt{h} \cdot h \\\\&A=\frac{8}{3} \sqrt{p h} \cdot h

A=\frac{8}{3} \sqrt{p h} \cdot h

In conclusion,  the equation for the Area is

   

A=\frac{8}{3} \sqrt{p h} \cdot h

Evaluate the integral. (sec2(t) i t(t2 1)8 j t7 ln(t) k) dt
polet [3.4K]

If you're just integrating a vector-valued function, you just integrate each component:

\displaystyle\int(\sec^2t\,\hat\imath+t(t^2-1)^8\,\hat\jmath+t^7\ln t\,\hat k)\,\mathrm dt

=\displaystyle\left(\int\sec^2t\,\mathrm dt\right)\hat\imath+\left(\int t(t^2-1)^8\,\mathrm dt\right)\hat\jmath+\left(\int t^7\ln t\,\mathrm dt\right)\hat k

The first integral is trivial since (\tan t)'=\sec^2t.

The second can be done by substituting u=t^2-1:

u=t^2-1\implies\mathrm du=2t\,\mathrm dt\implies\displaystyle\frac12\int u^8\,\mathrm du=\frac1{18}(t^2-1)^9+C

The third can be found by integrating by parts:

u=\ln t\implies\mathrm du=\dfrac{\mathrm dt}t

\mathrm dv=t^7\,\mathrm dt\implies v=\dfrac18t^8

\displaystyle\int t^7\ln t\,\mathrm dt=\frac18t^8\ln t-\frac18\int t^7\,\mathrm dt=\frac18t^8\ln t-\frac1{64}t^8+C
