Answer:

x = 12 cm and y = 24 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Three sides of the first triangle are 10 cm, 12 cm and 12 cm.

Three sides of second triangle are 20 cm, 12+x cm and y cm.

As these two triangles are similar, it means,

$\dfrac{10}{20}=\dfrac{12}{12+x}=\dfrac{12}{y}\\\\\dfrac{1}{2}=\dfrac{12}{12+x}=\dfrac{12}{y}\\\\\dfrac{1}{2}=\dfrac{12}{y}\ \text{and}\ \dfrac{1}{2}=\dfrac{12}{12+x}\\\\y=24\ cm\ \text{and}\ 24=12+x,x=12 cm$

So, the value of x is 12 cm and that of y is 24 cm.

paul earns 25.50 for every lawn he mows. this week he moved L lawns. he spends 3.50 per lawn on gasoline. write an expression to

notsponge [240]

If Paul mows the lawn once, he earns 1*25.50. If he mows it twice, he earns 2*25.50, and so on. So, he earns L*25.50. But, he spends 3.50. So the equation is:

$L*25.50-3.50$

The graphs of the polar curves r = 4 and r = 3 + 2cosθ are shown in the figure above. The curves intersect at θ = π/3 and θ = 5π

Gennadij [26K]

(a)

$\displaystyle \frac{1}{2} \cdot \int_{\frac{\pi}{3}}^{\frac{5\pi}{3}} \left(4^2 - (3 + 2\cos\theta)^2 \right) \, d\theta$

or, via symmetry

$\displaystyle\frac{1}{2} \cdot 2 \int_{\frac{\pi}{3}}^{\pi} \left(4^2 - (3 + 2\cos\theta)^2 \right) \, d\theta$

____________

(b)

By the chain rule:

$\displaystyle \frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{ dy/ d\theta}{ dx/ d\theta}$

For polar coordinates, x = rcosθ and y = rsinθ. Since
r = 3 + 2cosθ, it follows that

$x = (3 + 2\cos\theta) \cos \theta \\ 
y = (3 + 2\cos\theta) \sin \theta$

Differentiating with respect to theta

$\begin{aligned}
\displaystyle \frac{dy}{dx} &= \frac{ dy/ d\theta}{ dx/ d\theta} \\
&= \frac{(3 + 2\cos\theta)(\cos\theta) + (-2\sin\theta)(\sin\theta)}{(3 + 2\cos\theta)(-\sin\theta) + (-2\sin\theta)(\cos\theta)} \\ \\
\left.\frac{dy}{dx}\right_{\theta = \frac{\pi}{2}}
&= 2/3
\end{aligned}$

2/3 is the slope

____________

(c)

"distance between the particle and the origin increases at a constant rate of 3 units per second" implies dr/dt = 3

Angle θ and r are related via r = 3 + 2cosθ, so implicitly differentiating with respect to time

 $\displaystyle\frac{dr}{dt} = -2\sin\theta \frac{d\theta}{dt} \quad \stackrel{\theta = \pi/3}{\implies} \quad 3 = -2\left( \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}}\right) \frac{d\theta}{dt} \implies \\ \\ \frac{d\theta}{dt} = -\sqrt{3} \text{ radians per second}$
