The as x approaches 0 of tan^2x/x

Mathematics
1 answer:
uysha [10]3 years ago

L=Lim tan(x)^2/x x->0

Since both numerator and denominator evaluate to zero, we could apply l'Hôpital rule by taking derivatives.

d(tan^2(x))/dx=2tan(x).d(tan(x))/dx = 2tan(x)sec^2(x)

d(x)/dx = 1

=>

L=2tan(x)sec^2(x)/1 x->0

= (2(0)/1^2)/1

=0/1

=0


Another way using series,

We know that tan(x) = x+x^3/3+2x^5/15+.....

then tan^2(x), using binomial expansion gives

x^2+2*x^4/3+.... (we only need two terms)

and again apply l'Hôpital's rule, we have

L=d(x^2+2x^4/3+...)/d(x) = (2x+8x^3/3+...)/1

=0 as x->0

Find the domain and range of the function graphed in the picture.
algol [13]

The domain is the set of allowed x inputs, or x coordinates of a function. In this case, any point on the curve has an x coordinate that is 4 or smaller.

Therefore, the domain is the set of numbers x such that x \le 4

To write this in interval notation, we would write (-\infty, 4] This interval starts at negative infinity and stops at 4. We exclude infinity with the curved parenthesis and include 4 with the square bracket.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

The range is the set of possible y outputs. Every point on this curve has a y coordinate that is either 0 or it is larger than 0.

The range is the set of y values such that y \ge 0

In interval notation, it would be written as [0, \infty) This time we start at 0 (including this endpoint) and "stop" at infinity

note: we always use curved parenthesis at positive or negative infinity because we cannot reach either infinity

Find the length of the radius of the circle, which is inscribed into a right trapezoid with lengths of bases a and b.
egoroff_w [7]

Answer:

  r = (ab)/(a+b)

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the attached sketch. The diagram shows base b at the bottom and base a at the top. The height of the trapezoid must be twice the radius. The point where the slant side of the trapezoid is tangent to the inscribed circle divides that slant side into two parts: lengths (a-r) and (b-r). The sum of these lengths is the length of the slant side, which is the hypotenuse of a right triangle with one leg equal to 2r and the other leg equal to (b-a).

Using the Pythagorean theorem, we can write the relation ...

  ((a-r) +(b-r))^2 = (2r)^2 +(b -a)^2

  a^2 +2ab +b^2 -4r(a+b) +4r^2 = 4r^2 +b^2 -2ab +a^2

  -4r(a+b) = -4ab . . . . . . . . subtract common terms from both sides, also -2ab

  r = ab/(a+b) . . . . . . . . . divide by the coefficient of r

The radius of the inscribed circle in a right trapezoid is r = ab/(a+b).

_____

The graph in the second attachment shows a trapezoid with the radius calculated as above.

Tema [17]
For the first Q the answer is the first square on the left 10 miles divided by 12 hours = 0,83 miles

And the second Q goes with the last square 12 hours divided by 10 miles = 1.2 h which in minutes is 72 minutes or 1h and 12 minutes.
