Answer:

Indefinite integration acts as a tool to solve many physical problems.

There are many type of problems that require an indefinite integral to solve.

Basically indefinite integration is required when we deal with quantities that vary spatially or temporally.

As an example consider the following example:

Suppose that we need to calculate the total force on a object placed in a non- uniform field.

As an example let us consider a rod of length L that posses an charge 'q' per meter length and suppose that we place it in a non uniform electric field which is given by

$E(x)=\frac{E_{o}}{e^{kx}}$

Now in order to find the total force on the rod we cannot use the similar procedure as we can see that the force on the rod varies with the position of the rod.

But if w consider an element 'dx' of the rod at a distance 'x' from the origin the force on this element will be given by

$dF=E(x)\times qdx\\\\dF=\frac{qE_{o}}{e^{kx}}dx$

Now to find the whole force on the rod we need to sum this quantity over the whole length of the rod requiring integration, as shown

$\int dF=\int \frac{qE_{o}}{e^{kx}}dx$

Similarly there are numerous problems considering motion of particles that require applications of indefinite integration.

Answer:

Given the triangle RST with Coordinates R(2,1), S(2, -2) and T(-1 , -2).

A dilation is a transformation which produces an image that is the same shape as original one, but is different size.

Since, the scale factor $\frac{5}{3}$ is greater than 1, the image is enlargement or a stretch.

Now, draw the dilation image of the triangle RST with center (2,-2) and scale factor $\frac{5}{3}$

Since, the center of dilation at S(2,-2) is not at the origin, so the point S and its image $S{}'$ are same.

Now, the distances from the center of the dilation at point S to the other points R and T.

The dilation image will be $\frac{5}{3}$ of each of these distances,

$SR=3$ , so $S{}'R{}'$ =5 ;

$ST=3$ , so $S{}'T{}'=5$

Now, draw the image of RST i.e R'S'T'

Since, $RT=3\sqrt{2}$ [By using hypotenuse of right angle triangle] and $R{}'T{}'=5\sqrt{2}$ .

(a)

Disagree with the given statement.

Side Angle Side postulate (SAS) states that:

If two sides and the included angle of one triangle are congruent to two sides and the included angle of another triangle then these two triangles are congruent.

Given: B is the midpoint of $\overline{AC}$ i.e $\overline{AB}\cong \overline{BC}$

In the triangle ABD and triangle CBD, we have

$\overline{AB}\cong \overline{BC}$ (SIDE) [Given]

$\overline{BD}\cong \overline{BD}$ (SIDE) [Reflexive post]

Since, there is no included angle in these triangles.

∴ $\Delta ABD$ is not congruent to $\Delta CBD$ .

Therefore, these triangles does not follow the SAS congruence postulates.

(b)

SSS(SIDE-SIDE-SIDE) states that if three sides of one triangle are congruent to three sides of another triangle, then the triangles are congruent.

Since it is also given that $\overline{AD}\cong \overline{CD}$ .
