In triangle ABC, the measure of angle BCA is 90, segment AC is 12 units, and segment BC is 9 units. If D is a point on hypotenus

e AB, such that segment AD is 5 units, what is the length of segment CD? Express your answer is simplest radical form.

Answer:

CD = 6 units

Step-by-step explanation:

In triangle ABC , AB is the hypotenuse then AB =√(BC)² + (AC)² = √(12)² + (9)² = 15

AB = 15

sin ∠ABC 12/15 = 0,8 Then arcsin (0.8) = 53,1°

∠ABC = 53,1° and ∠BAC = 36,9°

Now the hypotenuse is 15 units and we need to find the lenght of segment

CD. If we divide the hypotenuse in three equal segment (of lenght 5 each) we at the same time are dividing the ∠ACB ( 90°), in three equals angles of

30°.

If we now apply sin law

sin 30°/ 5 = sin 36,9°/CD

Then CD = 5 * sin 36.9° / sin 30° ⇒ CD =[ 5* (9/15) ] / 1/2

CD = 6 units

I'm having trouble with #2. I've got it down to the part where it would be the integral of 5cos^3(pheta)/sin(pheta). I'm not sur

Butoxors [25]

$\displaystyle\int\frac{\sqrt{25-x^2}}x\,\mathrm dx$

Setting $x=5\sin\theta$ , you have $\mathrm dx=5\cos\theta\,\mathrm d\theta$ . Then the integral becomes

$\displaystyle\int\frac{\sqrt{25-(5\sin\theta)^2}}{5\sin\theta}5\cos\theta\,\mathrm d\theta$
$\displaystyle\int\sqrt{25-25\sin^2\theta}\dfrac{\cos\theta}{\sin\theta}\,\mathrm d\theta$
$\displaystyle5\int\sqrt{1-\sin^2\theta}\dfrac{\cos\theta}{\sin\theta}\,\mathrm d\theta$
$\displaystyle5\int\sqrt{\cos^2\theta}\dfrac{\cos\theta}{\sin\theta}\,\mathrm d\theta$

Now, $\sqrt{x^2}=|x|$ in general. But since we want our substitution $x=5\sin\theta$ to be invertible, we are tacitly assuming that we're working over a restricted domain. In particular, this means $\theta=\sin^{-1}\dfrac x5$ , which implies that $\left|\dfrac x5\right|\le1$ , or equivalently that $|\theta|\le\dfrac\pi2$ . Over this domain, $\cos\theta\ge0$ , so $\sqrt{\cos^2\theta}=|\cos\theta|=\cos\theta$ .

Long story short, this allows us to go from

$\displaystyle5\int\sqrt{\cos^2\theta}\dfrac{\cos\theta}{\sin\theta}\,\mathrm d\theta$

to

$\displaystyle5\int\cos\theta\dfrac{\cos\theta}{\sin\theta}\,\mathrm d\theta$
$\displaystyle5\int\dfrac{\cos^2\theta}{\sin\theta}\,\mathrm d\theta$

Computing the remaining integral isn't difficult. Expand the numerator with the Pythagorean identity to get

$\dfrac{\cos^2\theta}{\sin\theta}=\dfrac{1-\sin^2\theta}{\sin\theta}=\csc\theta-\sin\theta$

Then integrate term-by-term to get

$\displaystyle5\left(\int\csc\theta\,\mathrm d\theta-\int\sin\theta\,\mathrm d\theta\right)$
$=-5\ln|\csc\theta+\cot\theta|+\cos\theta+C$

Now undo the substitution to get the antiderivative back in terms of $x$ .

$=-5\ln\left|\csc\left(\sin^{-1}\dfrac x5\right)+\cot\left(\sin^{-1}\dfrac x5\right)\right|+\cos\left(\sin^{-1}\dfrac x5\right)+C$

and using basic trigonometric properties (e.g. Pythagorean theorem) this reduces to

$=-5\ln\left|\dfrac{5+\sqrt{25-x^2}}x\right|+\sqrt{25-x^2}+C$

It’s B. because 6•6=36 and B shows a little over six so B would be your answer.
