A 70 cm long stick is cut into two parts in such a way that the longer part is 20 cm longer than the shorter part. How long is e

Answer:

Long part= 45

Short part= 25

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the short part of the stick be x

Let the long part be x+20

The total length of the stick is 70cm

x + (x+20)= 70

x+x+20= 70

2x+20= 70

2x= 70-20

2x= 50

x= 50/2

= 25

Longer part length= 20+25

= 45

The short part is 25

There are 3 people pulling on an object, the first person pulls with a force of 226 newtons at a direction of 145 degrees the se

Alona [7]

Answer:

$R=883.74N$

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Force 1 $F_1=226N$

Force 2 $F_2=331N$

Force 3 $F_3=377N$

Direction 1 $\theta_1=145 degrees \approx 35 \textdegree (2nd qudrant)$

Direction 2 $\theta_2=303 degrees \approx 57 \textdegree (3rd qudrant)$

Direction 3 $\theta_3=77 degrees$

Generally Resolving forces to X axis is mathematically given by

$\sum f_x=337cos77+331cos57+226sin35$

$\sum f_x=351.596N$

Generally Resolving forces to Y axis is mathematically given by

$\sum f_y=337sin77+331sin57+226cos35$

$\sum f_x=810.788N$

Generally the equation for Resultant force R is mathematically given by

$R=\sqrt{\sum f_x^2+\sum f_x^2}$

$R=\sqrt{351.596^2+810.788^2}$

$R=883.74N$

In triangle $ABC,$ point $D$ is on $\overline{AC}$ such that $AD = 3CD = 12$. If $\angle ABC = \angle BDA = 90^\circ$, then what

Neporo4naja [7]

Answer:

$BD=4\sqrt{3}\ units$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

$AD=12\ units$

$3CD=12$ ----> $CD=4\ units$

see the attached figure to better understand the problem

Triangles ABD and BCD are similar by AA Similarity Theorem

Remember that

If two figures are similar, then the ratio of its corresponding sides is proportional

so

$\frac{BD}{AD}=\frac{CD}{BD}$

substitute the given values

$\frac{BD}{12}=\frac{4}{BD}$

$BD^2=48$

$BD=\sqrt{48}\ units$

simplify

$BD=4\sqrt{3}\ units$

Because of their connection with secant lines, tangents, and instantaneous rates, limits of the form ModifyingBelow lim With h

Gre4nikov [31]

Answer:

$\dfrac{1}{2\sqrt{x}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$f(x) = \sqrt{x} = x^{\frac{1}{2}}$

$f(x+h) = \sqrt{x+h} = (x+h)^{\frac{1}{2}}$

We use binomial expansion for $(x+h)^{\frac{1}{2}}$

This can be rewritten as

$[x(1+\dfrac{h}{x})]^{\frac{1}{2}}$

$x^{\frac{1}{2}}(1+\dfrac{h}{x})^{\frac{1}{2}}$

From the expansion

$(1+x)^n=1+nx+\dfrac{n(n-1)}{2!}+\ldots$

Setting $x=\dfrac{h}{x}$ and $n=\frac{1}{2}$ ,

$(1+\dfrac{h}{x})^{\frac{1}{2}}=1+(\dfrac{h}{x})(\dfrac{1}{2})+\dfrac{\frac{1}{2}(1-\frac{1}{2})}{2!}(\dfrac{h}{x})^2+\tldots$

$=1+\dfrac{h}{2x}-\dfrac{h^2}{8x^2}+\ldots$

Multiplying by $x^{\frac{1}{2}}$ ,

$x^{\frac{1}{2}}(1+\dfrac{h}{x})^{\frac{1}{2}}=x^{\frac{1}{2}}+\dfrac{h}{2x^{\frac{1}{2}}}-\dfrac{h^2}{8x^{\frac{3}{2}}}+\ldots$

$x^{\frac{1}{2}}(1+\dfrac{h}{x})^{\frac{1}{2}}-x^{\frac{1}{2}}=\dfrac{h}{2x^{\frac{1}{2}}}-\dfrac{h^2}{8x^{\frac{3}{2}}}+\ldots$

$\dfrac{x^{\frac{1}{2}}(1+\dfrac{h}{x})^{\frac{1}{2}}-x^{\frac{1}{2}}}{h}=\dfrac{1}{2x^{\frac{1}{2}}}-\dfrac{h}{8x^{\frac{3}{2}}}+\ldots$

The limit of this as $h\to 0$ is

$\lim_{h\to0} \dfrac{f(x+h)-f(x)}{h}=\dfrac{1}{2x^{\frac{1}{2}}}=\dfrac{1}{2\sqrt{x}}$ (since all the other terms involve $h$ and vanish to 0.)
