In triangle $ABC$, let angle bisectors $BD$ and $CE$ intersect at $I$. The line through $I$ parallel to $BC$ intersects $AB$ and

$AC$ at $M$ and $N$, respectively. If $AB = 17$, $AC = 24$, and $BC = 33$, then find the perimeter of triangle $AMN$.
Thanks!

Answer:

41

Step-by-step explanation:

If you work through a series of obscure calculations involving area and the radius of the incircle, they boil down to a simple fact:

... For MN║BC, perimeter ΔAMN = perimeter ΔABC - BC = AB+AC

.. = 17+24 = 41

Wow! Thank you for an interesting question with a not-so-obvious answer.

<em>A little more detail</em>

The point I that you have defined is the incenter—the center of an inscribed circle in the triangle. Its radius is the distance from I to any side, such as BC, for example.

If we use "Δ" to represent the area of the triangle and "s" to represent the semi-perimeter, (AB+BC+AC)/2, then the incircle has radius Δ/s. The area Δ can be computed from Heron's formula by ...

... Δ = √(s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c)) . . . . where a, b, c are the side lengths

For this triangle, the area is Δ = √38480 ≈ 196.1632 units². That turns out to be irrelevant.

The altitude to BC will be 2Δ/(BC), so the altitude of ΔAMN = (2Δ/(BC) -Δ/s). Dividing this by the altitude to BC gives the ratio of the perimeter of ΔAMN to the perimeter of ΔABC, which is 2s.

Putting these ratios and perimeters together, we get ...

... perimeter ΔAMN = (2Δ/(BC) -Δ/s)/(2Δ/(BC)) × 2s

... = (2/(BC) -1/s) × BC × s = 2s -BC

... perimeter ΔAMN = AB +AC

Explain why x and 4x - 10 are factors of the expression x(4x - 10)3 rather than terms of the expression. What are the terms of t
andriy [413]

Solution :-  Let p(x) be the polynomial  such that

p(x) = x(4x-10)^3\\\text{and let f(x) be another polynomial such that }\\f(x)=4x-10\\\text{To find , Put } f(x)=0\\\Rightarrow4x-10=0\\\Rightarrow4x=10\\\Rightarrow x=5/2\\\text{Now substituting value of x in p(x),we get}\\p(x)=\frac{5}{2} .(4(5/2)-10)^3\\\Rightarrow\frac{5}{2}.(10-10)^3=0\\\text{Similarly let g(x)=x ,we get x=0 by putting g(x)=0}\\\text{now f(x)=0 for x=0}\\\text{So by Factor theorem f(x) and g(x) are the factors of polynomial p(x)}\\

\text{Now} p(x) = x(4x-10)^3\\=64x^4-480x^3+1200x^2-1000x\\\text{so the terms of terms of } p(x) \text{are} 64x^4,-480x^3,1200x^2,-1000x\\\text{here, by using Factor theorem x is a factor of all the terms but 4x-10 is not. }

\text{And the terms of the factor 4x-10 are 4x and -10}

Consider a sequence defined by the recursive rule f(1) = 15; f(n)=f(n - 1) - 6 for n 2. Choose True or
Shkiper50 [21]

Answer:

The second term of the sequence is 8  False ⇒ B

The third term of the sequence is 3  True ⇒ A

The fourth term of the sequence is -3  True ⇒ A

Step-by-step explanation:

The form of the recursive rule is:

f(1) = first term; f(n) = f(n - 1) + d, where

  • f(1) is the first term
  • f(n) is the nth term
  • f(n - 1) is the term before the nth term
  • d is the common difference

∵ f(1) = 15, f(n) = f(n - 1) - 6 for n ≥ 2

∴ The first term = 15

∴ d = -6

let us find the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th terms

∵ n = 2

∴ f(2) = f(1) - 6

∵ f(1) = 15

∴ f(2) = 15 - 6 = 9

∴ The second term is 9

∴ The second term of the sequence is 8  False

∵ n = 3

∴ f(3) = f(2) - 6

∵ f(2) = 9

∴ f(3) = 9 - 6 = 3

∴ The third term is 3

∴ The third term of the sequence is 3 True

∵ n = 4

∴ f(4) = f(3) - 6

∵ f(3) = 3

∴ f(4) = 3 - 6 = -3

∴ The fourth term is -3

∴ The fourth term of the sequence is -3 True
