Find the distance between the points (-3, 11) and (5, 5).

1 answer:

5 0

Formula for distance between two points:

d = √((x₂-x₁)² + (y₂-y₁)²)

Let point 1 be (-3, 11) and point 2 be (5, 5)

Therefore x₁ = -3, y₁ = 11, x₂ =5, y₂ = 5, and substituting in the formula above.

d = √((x₂-x₁)² + (y₂-y₁)²)

   = √((5- -3)² + (5-11)²)

   = √((5+3)² + (5-11)²)

   = √((8)² + (-6)²) 8² = 8*8 = 64, (-6)² = -6*-6 = 36

   = √(64 + 36)

= √(100)

= 10

Distance = 10 units.

If f(x) = x4 − x3 + x2 and g(x) = −x2, where x ≠ 0, what is (f ⁄g)(x)?

DerKrebs [107]

<span>The value of (f/g)(x) is determined by dividing the polynomial f(x) by the polynomial g(x) which is only equal to -x2. If we divide the first term of f(x), x4, with -x2, we arrived with an answer of -x2. For the second term, we arrive with the answer x. Similarly for the third term, we derive with an answer that is -1. Combining all the answers, we have -x2 + x - 1.</span>

How do you integrate arctan(x dx? i think that if you simplify the integral you get:?

Temka [501]

Integration by parts will help here. Letting $u=\arctan x$ and $\mathrm dv=\mathrm dx$ , you end up with $\mathrm du=\dfrac{\mathrm dx}{1+x^2}$ and $v=x$ . Now

$\displaystyle\int\arctan x\,\mathrm dx=uv-\int v\,\mathrm du$
$\displaystyle\int\arctan x\,\mathrm dx=x\arctan x-\int\frac x{1+x^2}\,\mathrm dx$

For the remaining integral, setting $y=1+x^2$ gives $\dfrac{\mathrm dy}2=x\,\mathrm dx$ , so

$\displaystyle\int\frac x{1+x^2}\,\mathrm dx=\frac12\int\frac{\mathrm dy}y=\frac12\ln|y|+C=\frac12\ln(1+x^2)+C$

Putting everything together, you end up with

$\displaystyle\int\arctan x\,\mathrm dx=x\arctan x-\frac12\ln(1+x^2)+C$
