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

Answer with explanation:

\text{Average}=\frac{\text{Sum of all the observation}}{\text{Total number of Observation}}

Average Height of tallest Building in San Francisco

                    =\frac{260+237+212+197+184+183+183+175+174+173}{10}\\\\=\frac{1978}{10}\\\\=197.8

Average Height of tallest Building in Los Angeles

                    =\frac{310+262+229+228+224+221+220+219+213+213}{10}\\\\=\frac{2339}{10}\\\\=233.9

→→Difference between Height of tallest Building in Los Angeles and  Height of tallest Building in San Francisco

               =233.9-197.8

               =36.1

⇒The average height of the 10 tallest buildings in Los Angeles is 36.1 more than the average height of the tallest buildings in San Francisco.

⇒Part B

Mean absolute deviation for the 10 tallest buildings in San Francisco

 |260-197.8|=62.2

 |237-197.8|=39.2

 |212-197.8|=14.2

 |197 -197.8|= 0.8

 |184 -197.8|=13.8

 |183-197.8|=14.8

 |183-197.8|= 14.8

 |175-197.8|=22.8

 |174-197.8|=23.8

 |173 -197.8|=24.8

Average of these numbers

     =\frac{62.2+39.2+14.2+0.8+13.8+14.8+14.8+22.8+23.8+24.8}{10}\\\\=\frac{231.2}{10}\\\\=23.12

Mean absolute deviation=23.12

Consider the function f(x)=xln(x). Let Tn be the nth degree Taylor approximation of f(2) about x=1. Find: T1, T2, T3. find |R3|
Fynjy0 [20]

Answer:

R3 <= 0.083

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x)=xlnx,

The derivatives are as follows:

f'(x)=1+lnx,

f"(x)=1/x,

f"'(x)=-1/x²

f^(4)(x)=2/x³

Simialrly;

f(1) = 0,

f'(1) = 1,

f"(1) = 1,

f"'(1) = -1,

f^(4)(1) = 2

As such;

T1 = f(1) + f'(1)(x-1)

T1 = 0+1(x-1)

T1 = x - 1

T2 = f(1)+f'(1)(x-1)+f"(1)/2(x-1)^2

T2 = 0+1(x-1)+1(x-1)^2

T2 = x-1+(x²-2x+1)/2

T2 = x²/2 - 1/2

T3 = f(1)+f'(1)(x-1)+f"(1)/2(x-1)^2+f"'(1)/6(x-1)^3

T3 = 0+1(x-1)+1/2(x-1)^2-1/6(x-1)^3

T3 = 1/6 (-x^3 + 6 x^2 - 3 x - 2)

Thus, T1(2) = 2 - 1

T1(2) = 1

T2 (2) = 2²/2 - 1/2

T2 (2) = 3/2

T2 (2) = 1.5

T3(2) = 1/6 (-2^3 + 6 *2^2 - 3 *2 - 2)

T3(2) = 4/3

T3(2) = 1.333

Since;

f(2) = 2 × ln(2)

f(2) = 2×0.693147 =

f(2) = 1.386294

Since;

f(2) >T3; it is significant to posit that T3 is an underestimate of f(2).

Then; we have, R3 <= | f^(4)(c)/(4!)(x-1)^4 |,

Since;

f^(4)(x)=2/x^3, we have, |f^(4)(c)| <= 2

Finally;

R3 <= |2/(4!)(2-1)^4|

R3 <= | 2 / 24× 1 |

R3 <= 1/12

R3 <= 0.083
