Answer:

since PQ ||BC,

Angle A is common for both triangles angle P = angle B

triangles ABC, APQ are similar,then their corresponding sides are in proportion

AP/PB =AQ/QC

4/8=x/16

x=8

Do you know basic proportionality theorem ? You can solve the problem easily by this.

In short: BPT is if a line is parallel to a side of the triangle which intersects the other sides imto two distinct points, then the line divides those sides in proportion.

In your problem, it's given that the mutual lines are parallel (PQ || BC), so it makes it divide |AP| with |AB| and |AQ| with |AC| proportionally.

|AP| / |AB| = |AQ| / |QC|

4/12 = x/16+x

4(16+x) = 12x

x=8

Hope it helps!

Use the given transformation x=4u, y=3v to evaluate the integral. ∬r4x2 da, where r is the region bounded by the ellipse x216 y2

exis [7]

The Jacobian for this transformation is

$J = \begin{bmatrix} x_u & x_v \\ y_u & y_v \end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix} 4 & 0 \\ 0 & 3 \end{bmatrix}$

with determinant $|J| = 12$ , hence the area element becomes

$dA = dx\,dy = 12 \, du\,dv$

Then the integral becomes

$\displaystyle \iint_{R'} 4x^2 \, dA = 768 \iint_R u^2 \, du \, dv$

where $R'$ is the unit circle,

$\dfrac{x^2}{16} + \dfrac{y^2}9 = \dfrac{(4u^2)}{16} + \dfrac{(3v)^2}9 = u^2 + v^2 = 1$

so that

$\displaystyle 768 \iint_R u^2 \, du \, dv = 768 \int_{-1}^1 \int_{-\sqrt{1-v^2}}^{\sqrt{1-v^2}} u^2 \, du \, dv$

Now you could evaluate the integral as-is, but it's really much easier to do if we convert to polar coordinates.

$\begin{cases} u = r\cos(\theta) \\ v = r\sin(\theta) \\ u^2+v^2 = r^2\\ du\,dv = r\,dr\,d\theta\end{cases}$

Then

$\displaystyle 768 \int_{-1}^1 \int_{-\sqrt{1-v^2}}^{\sqrt{1-v^2}} u^2\,du\,dv = 768 \int_0^{2\pi} \int_0^1 (r\cos(\theta))^2 r\,dr\,d\theta \\\\ ~~~~~~~~~~~~ = 768 \left(\int_0^{2\pi} \cos^2(\theta)\,d\theta\right) \left(\int_0^1 r^3\,dr\right) = \boxed{192\pi}$
