Answer:

Taking square-root of numbers

Step-by-step explanation:

The reason is that the square-root of most numbers is an irrational number because the answer we have can not be written as p/q form. For example, if we take the example of √2 then the answer we have is "1.4142135623730950..." which can not be written in p/q form. Hence taking square-root of numbers will most likely give an irrational number.

the derivative of the function f is given by f'(x)=x^2cos(x^2). How many points of inflection does the graph of f have on the op

Vsevolod [243]

The point of inflection is calculated by equating the second derivative to zero and determining x from there.

f"(x) = -x²2xsinx² + cosx²(2x) = 0

2xcosx² - 2x³sinx² = 0
2x (cosx² - xsinx²) = 0

2x = 0 ⇒ x = 0
cosx² - xsinx² = 0 ⇒ x = 3.82 (if you use shift+solve in your scientific calculator)

Thus, the function only has 1 point of inflection and it is at x = 0.

Determine the length of the leg of a 45o – 45o – 90o triangle with a hypotenuse length of 15 inches. ( ANSWER NEEDS TO BE IN RED

SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer:

The lenghts of both legs: $\frac{15\sqrt{2}}{2}\ inches$

Step-by-step explanation:

By definition, when a triangle has angles that measures 45°, 45° and 90°, its legs are congruent.

Then, knowing the lenght of the hypotenuse, we can find the lenght (in inches) of any leg of the given triangle by applying the Trigonometric Identity $sin\alpha=\frac{opposite}{hypotenuse}$ :
