Hey There!!

STEP 1:

Simplify ——————————

(4x + 3y)2

Equation at the end of step

(4x-3y) 1

——————————————————————————— ÷ ————————

(((16•(x2))+24xy)+(9•(y2))) (4x+3y)2

STEP 2:

Equation at the end of step

(4x-3y) 1

——————————————————————— ÷ ————————

(((16•(x2))+24xy)+32y2) (4x+3y)2

STEP 3:

Equation at the end of step

(4x - 3y) 1

—————————————————————— ÷ ——————————

((24x2 + 24xy) + 32y2) (4x + 3y)2

STEP 4:

4x - 3y

Simplify —————————————————

16x2 + 24xy + 9y2

Trying to factor a multi variable polynomial :

4.1 Factoring 16x2 + 24xy + 9y2

Try to factor this multi-variable trinomial using trial and error

Found a factorization : (4x + 3y)•(4x + 3y)

Detecting a perfect square :

4.2 16x2 +24xy +9y2 is a perfect square

It factors into (4x+3y)•(4x+3y)

which is another way of writing (4x+3y)2

How to recognize a perfect square trinomial:

• It has three terms

• Two of its terms are perfect squares themselves

• The remaining term is twice the product of the square roots of the other two terms

Equation at the end of step

(4x - 3y) 1

—————————— ÷ ——————————

(4x + 3y)2 (4x + 3y)2

STEP 5:

4x-3y 1

Divide ———————— by ————————

(4x+3y)2 (4x+3y)2

5.1 Dividing fractions

To divide fractions, write the divison as multiplication by the reciprocal of the divisor :

4x - 3y 1 4x - 3y (4x + 3y)2

—————————— ÷ —————————— = —————————— • ——————————

(4x + 3y)2 (4x + 3y)2 (4x + 3y)2 1

Canceling Out :

5.2 Cancel out (4x + 3y)2 which appears on both sides of the fraction line.

Final result :

4x - 3y

The harmonic motion of a particle is given by f(t) = 2 cos(3t) + 3 sin(2t), 0 ≤ t ≤ 8. (a) When is the position function decreas

For the last part, you have to find where $f'(t)$ attains its maximum over $0\le t\le8$ . We have

$f'(t)=-6\sin3t+6\cos2t$

so that

$f''(t)=-18\cos3t-12\sin2t$

with critical points at $t$ such that

$-18\cos3t-12\sin2t=0$

$3\cos3t+2\sin2t=0$

$3(\cos^3t-3\cos t\sin^2t)+4\sin t\cos t=0$

$\cos t(3\cos^2t-9\sin^2t+4\sin t)=0$

$\cos t(12\sin^2t-4\sin t-3)=0$

So either

$\cos t=0\implies t=\dfrac{(2n+1)\pi}2$

$12\sin^2t-4\sin t-3=0\implies\sin t=\dfrac{1\pm\sqrt{10}}6\implies t=\sin^{-1}\dfrac{1\pm\sqrt{10}}6+2n\pi$

where $n$ is any integer. We get 8 solutions over the given interval with $n=0,1,2$ from the first set of solutions, $n=0,1$ from the set of solutions where $\sin t=\dfrac{1+\sqrt{10}}6$ , and $n=1$ from the set of solutions where $\sin t=\dfrac{1-\sqrt{10}}6$ . They are approximately
