Answer; 17, 18 and 19


Explanation:

Number = x , x + 1 , x + 2


x + x + 1 + x + 2 = 54

3x + 3 = 54

3x = 51

x = 17


x = 17

x + 1 = 18

x + 2 = 19

Among all right triangles whose hypotenuse has a length of 12 cm, what is the largest possible perimeter?
Veronika [31]

Answer:

Largest perimeter of the triangle =  

P(6\sqrt{2}) = 6\sqrt{2} + \sqrt{144-72} + 12 = 12\sqrt{2} + 12 = 12(\sqrt2 + 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

Right triangles whose hypotenuse has a length of 12 cm.

Let x and y be the other two sides of the triangle.

Then, by Pythagoras theorem:

x^2 + y^2 = (12)^2 = 144\\y^2 = 144-x^2\\y = \sqrt{144-x^2}

Perimeter of Triangle = Side 1 + Side 2 + Hypotenuse.

P(x) = x + \sqrt{144-x^2} + 12

where P(x) is a function of the perimeter of the triangle.

First, we differentiate P(x) with respect to x, to get,

\frac{d(P(x))}{dx} = \frac{d(x + \sqrt{144-x^2} + 12)}{dx} = 1-\displaystyle\frac{x}{\sqrt{144-x^2}}

Equating the first derivative to zero, we get,

\frac{dP(x))}{dx} = 0\\\\1-\displaystyle\frac{x}{\sqrt{144-x^2}} = 0

Solving, we get,

1-\displaystyle\frac{x}{\sqrt{144-x^2}} = 0\\\\x = \sqrt{144-x^2}}\\\\x^2 = 144-x^2\\\\x = \sqrt{72} = 6\sqrt{2}

Again differentiation P(x), with respect to x, using the quotient rule of differentiation.

\frac{d^2(P(x))}{dx^2} = \displaystyle\frac{-(144-x^2)^{\frac{3}{2}}-x^2}{(144-x)^{\frac{3}{2}}}

At x = 6\sqrt{2},

\frac{d^2(V(x))}{dx^2} < 0

Then, by double derivative test, the maxima occurs at x = 6\sqrt{2}

Thus, maxima occurs at x = 6\sqrt{2} for P(x).

Thus, largest perimeter of the triangle =  

P(6\sqrt{2}) = 6\sqrt{2} + \sqrt{144-72} + 12 = 12\sqrt{2} + 12 = 12(\sqrt2 + 1)

The question is in the screenshot attached. Thank you!
Rzqust [24]

Answer:

Domain: -4 < x < 4

Zeros: (-2, 0), (0, 0) and (2, 0)

The function is positive if: 0 < x < 2

The function is negative if: -4 < x < 0 and 2 < x < 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Domain of the function are those x values where the function is defined, For this case, -4 < x < 4

Zeros of a function are those x values where y = 0, that is, the graph intersect x-axis. For this case, the points are: (-2, 0), (0, 0) and (2, 0)

The function is positive if the graph o the function is above x-axis. For this case, the function is positive at the interval (0, 2)

The function is negative if the graph o the function is below x-axis. For this case, the function is negative at the intervals (-4, 0) and (2, 4)
