Answer:

p = -2, r = -2 and p-r = 0.

Step-by-step explanation:

(x - 1/2)(x - 2)

= x^2 - 2x - 1/2x + 1

= x^2 - 5/2x + 1

= 2x^2 - 5x + 2

= -2x^2 + 5x - 2

Comparing this with

px^2 + 5x + r

we see that p = -2, r = -2 and p-r = 0.

In the triangle pictured, let A, B, C be the angles at the three vertices, and let a,b,c be the sides opposite those angles. Acc

Troyanec [42]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

(a)

Consider the following:

$A=\frac{\pi}{4}=45°\\\\B=\frac{\pi}{3}=60°$

Use sine rule,

$\frac{b}{a}=\frac{\sinB}{\sin A}
\\\\=\frac{\sin{\frac{\pi}{3}}
}{\sin{\frac{\pi}{4}}}\\\\=\frac{[\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}]}{\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}}\\\\=\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}\times \frac{\sqrt{2}}{1}=\sqrt{\frac{3}{2}}$

Again consider,

$\frac{b}{a}=\frac{\sin{B}}{\sin{A}}
\\\\\sin{B}=\frac{b}{a}\times \sin{A}\\\\\sin{B}=\sqrt{\frac{3}{2}}\sin {A}\\\\B=\sin^{-1}[\sqrt{\frac{3}{2}}\sin{A}]$

Thus, the angle B is function of A is, $B=\sin^{-1}[\sqrt{\frac{3}{2}}\sin{A}]$

Now find $\frac{dB}{dA}$

Differentiate implicitly the function $\sin{B}=\sqrt{\frac{3}{2}}\sin{A}$ with respect to A to get,

$\cos {B}.\frac{dB}{dA}=\sqrt{\frac{3}{2}}\cos A\\\\\frac{dB}{dA}=\sqrt{\frac{3}{2}}.\frac{\cos A}{\cos B}$

When $A=\frac{\pi}{4},B=\frac{\pi}{3}$ , the value of $\frac{dB}{dA}$ is,

$\frac{dB}{dA}=\sqrt{\frac{3}{2}}.\frac{\cos {\frac{\pi}{4}}}{\cos {\frac{\pi}{3}}}\\\\=\sqrt{\frac{3}{2}}.\frac{\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}}{\frac{1}{2}}\\\\=\sqrt{3}$

In general, the linear approximation at x= a is,

$f(x)=f'(x).(x-a)+f(a)$

Here the function $f(A)=B=\sin^{-1}[\sqrt{\frac{3}{2}}\sin{A}]$

At $A=\frac{\pi}{4}$

$f(\frac{\pi}{4})=B=\sin^{-1}[\sqrt{\frac{3}{2}}\sin{\frac{\pi}{4}}]\\\\=\sin^{-1}[\sqrt{\frac{3}{2}}.\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}]\\\\\=\sin^{-1}(\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2})\\\\=\frac{\pi}{3}$
