Show that the triangles are similar

Mathematics

Answer:

<ACB is supplementary to the < ECD by the definition of supplementary angles. Therefore the first part of your answer is <ACB = <ECD

We know that similar triangles have the same corresponding angle measurements for their angles and therefore one of the triangles is just a scaled up or down version of the original. Triangle EDC is a scaled down version of ABC. Therefore, the corresponding sides of triangle ECD have the same ratio to the corresponding sides of ABC. For example line segment EC and BC are corresponding line segment and lets find the ratio: 14/21 = 2/3

THe ratio of EC to BC is 2/3 and the ratio of CD to AC is also 2/3 (18 / 27=2/3)

Therefore, CE / BC is equal to DC / AC

Your full answer is

<ACB = <ECD, CE / BC = DC / AC

So triangle ABC ~ triangle CDE

A particle travels along the x-axis such that its velocity is given by v(t) = (t^0.7 + 4t) cos (t^2). What is the average accele
Airida [17]

It's not clear to me what the given interval is supposed to be, so I'll use a generic one, [a, b] with a < b.

The average acceleration of the particle over this interval is given by the average rate of change of v(t),

a_{\rm ave} = \dfrac{v(b) - v(a)}{b - a} = \boxed{\dfrac{(b^{0.7}+4b)\cos(b^2) - (a^{0.7}+4a)\cos(a^2)}{b - a}}
