Answer:

  • x = - 1.5

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Given vertices:</u>

  • A(x, 1), B(5,3) and C(4,-3)

<u>Use distance formula to find the side lengths:</u>

  • AB = \sqrt{(5 - x)^2+(3-1)^2} = \sqrt{x^2-10x + 25 + 4} = \sqrt{x^2-10x + 29}
  • AC = \sqrt{(4-x)^2+(-3-1)^2} = \sqrt{x^2-8x+16+16} =\sqrt{x^2-8x + 32}

<u>Since AB = AC, compare the squares and solve for x:</u>

  • x² - 10x + 29 = x² - 8x + 32
  • 10x - 8x = 29 - 32
  • 2x = - 3
  • x = - 1.5

\\ \rm\longmapsto AB=AC

\\ \rm\longmapsto \sqrt{(x-5)^2+(1-5)^2}=\sqrt{(x-4)^2+(1+3)^2}

\\ \rm\longmapsto (x-5)^2+(-2)^2=(x-4)^2+4^2

\\ \rm\longmapsto (x-5)^2+4=(x-4)^2+16

\\ \rm\longmapsto (x-5)^2-(x-4)^2=16-4=12

\\ \rm\longmapsto x^2-10x+25-x^2+8x-16=12

\\ \rm\longmapsto -2x+9=12

\\ \rm\longmapsto -2x=12-9=3

\\ \rm\longmapsto x=\dfrac{3}{-2}=-1.5

lord [1]

Answer:

a) 17.5

b) 15.6

c) 13.3

d) 21.51

Step-by-step explanation:

The given function is equal to:

f(x)=kx^2

where

\int\limits^y_0 {kx^{2} } \, =1

where y=23

Clearing k=0.00025

a) Ex=\int\limits^y_0 {xf(x)} \, dx =\int\limits^y_0 {x*0.00025x^{2} } \, dx =17.5

b)Vx=Ex^{2} -(Ex)^{2} =\int\limits^y_0 {x^{2}f(x) } \, dx-17.5^{2}  =\int\limits^y_0 {x^{2} *0.00025x^{2} } \, dx -17.5^{2} =321.82-306.25=15.6

c) The function is equal to:

f(x)=k(1+2x)

\int\limits^y_0 {k(1+2x)} \, =1

where y=20

k=0.0024

Ex=\int\limits^y_0 {xf(x)} \, dx =\int\limits^y_0 {x*0.0024(1+2x)} \, dx =13.3

d) Vx=Ex^{2} -(Ex)^{2} =\int\limits^y_0 {x^{2} f(x)} \, dx -13.3^{2}=\int\limits^y_0 {x^{2} *0.0024(1+2x)} \, dx-13.3^{2}   =198.4-176.89=21.51

5. What is the importance of axioms? Describe what happens if it is missing
marta [7]

Answer:

Axioms are important to get right, because all of mathematics rests on them. If there are too few axioms, you can prove very little and mathematics would not be very interesting. If there are too many axioms, you can prove almost anything, and mathematics would also not be interesting...
