Mathematics

Answer:  The correct option is (B) \dfrac{2x+1}{2x^2}.

Step-by-step explanation:  We are given to simplify the following expression :

E=\dfrac{\dfrac{x}{4}+\dfrac{1}{8}}{\dfrac{x^2}{4}}.

We will be using the following property :

\dfrac{\dfrac{a}{b}}{\dfrac{c}{d}}=\dfrac{a}{b}\times\dfrac{d}{c}.

The simplification is as follows :

E\\\\\\=\dfrac{\dfrac{x}{4}+\dfrac{1}{8}}{\dfrac{x^2}{4}}\\\\\\=\dfrac{\dfrac{2x+1}{8}}{\dfrac{x^2}{4}}\\\\\\=\dfrac{2x+1}{8}\times \dfrac{4}{x^2}\\\\\\=\dfrac{2x+1}{2x^2}.

Thus, the required simplified form of the given expression is \dfrac{2x+1}{2x^2}.

Option (B) is CORRECT.

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

x/4 + 1/8

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

x^2/4

Multiply the top and bottom by 8 to clear the fractions

x/4 + 1/8                    8

------------------ *---------------

x^2/4                          8

8*(x/4 + 1/8)  

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

8*x^2/4  

2x+1

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

2x^2

Let f be a continuous function defined on the interval [0,1] such that f(0) = f(1). Show that there exists a number 0 <= a &l
Leni [432]

Explanation:

In order to prove that affirmation, we define the function g over the interval [0, 1/2] with the formula g(x) = f(x+1/2)-f(x) .

If we evaluate g at the  endpoints we have

g(0) = f(1/2)-f(0) = f(1/2) - f(1) (because f(0) = f(1))  

g(1/2) = f(1) - f(1/2) = -g(0)

Since g(1/2) = -g(0), we have one chance out of three

  • g(0) > 0 and g(1/2) < 0
  • g(0) < 0 and g(1/2) > 0
  • g(0) = g(1/2) = 0

We will prove that g has a zero on [0,1/2]. If g(0) = 0, then it is trivial. If g(0) ≠ 0, then we are in one of the first two cases, and therefore g(0) * g(1/2) < 0. Since f is continuous, so is g. Bolzano's Theorem assures that there exists c in (0,1/2) such that g(c) = 0.  This proves that g has at least one zero on [0,1/2].

Let c be a 0 of g, then we have

0 = g(c) = f(c+1/2)-f(c)

Hence, f(c+1/2) = f(c) as we wanted.

If A(-5,7), B(-4,-5), C(-1,-6) and D(4,5) are the vertices of a quadrilateral, find the area of the quadrilateral ABCD.
MrMuchimi
After plotting the quadrilateral in a Cartesian plane, you can see that it is not a particular quadrilateral. Hence, you need to divide it into two triangles. Let's take ABC and ADC.

The area of a triangle with vertices known is  given by the matrix
M = \left[\begin{array}{ccc} x_{1}&y_{1}&1\\x_{2}&y_{2}&1\\x_{3}&y_{3}&1\end{array}\right]

Area = 1/2· | det(M) |
        = 1/2· | x₁·y₂ - x₂·y₁ + x₂·y₃ - x₃·y₂ + x₃·y₁ - x₁·y₃ |
        = 1/2· | x₁·(y₂ - y₃) + x₂·(y₃ - y₁) + x₃·(y₁ - y₂) |

Therefore, the area of ABC will be:
A(ABC) = 1/2· | (-5)·(-5 - (-6)) + (-4)·(-6 - 7) + (-1)·(7 - (-5)) |
             = 1/2· | -5·(1) - 4·(-13) - 1·(12) |
             = 1/2 | 35 |
             = 35/2

Similarly, the area of ADC will be:
A(ABC) = 1/2· | (-5)·(5 - (-6)) + (4)·(-6 - 7) + (-1)·(7 - 5) |
             = 1/2· | -5·(11) + 4·(-13) - 1·(2) |
             = 1/2 | -109 |
<span>             = 109/2</span>

The total area of the quadrilateral will be the sum of the areas of the two triangles:

A(ABCD) = A(ABC) + A(ADC) 
               = 35/2 + 109/2
               = 72

Rearrange the formula A = <br> Θr2<br> 2<br> for Θ.
Lina20 [59]

Answer:

\theta=\frac{2A}{r^2}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The formula A=\frac{\theta r^2}{2}

We have to rearrange the given formula for \theta

Consider the given formula A=\frac{\theta r^2}{2}

Multiply both side by 2, we have,

2A={\theta r^2

Divide both side by r^2 , we have,

\frac{2A}{r^2}= \frac{\theta r^2}{r^2}

Simplify, we get,

\frac{2A}{r^2}=\theta

Thus, \theta=\frac{2A}{r^2}
