The similarities are;

  • Compass and a straight edge required for both construction
  • Both construction includes a line drawn from the intersection of arcs to bisect a segment or an angle
  • The bases for the construction of both bisector are the ends of segment and the angle to be bisected
  • The width of the compass when drawing intersecting arcs, is more than half the width of the segment or angle being bisected

The differences are;

  • Two points of intersection of arcs are used in the segment bisector while only one is requited in an angle bisector
  • The bisecting line crosses the segment in a segment bisector, while it stops at the vertex of the angle being bisected in an angle bisector

The sources of the above equations are as follows;

The steps to construct a segment bisector are;

  • Place the needle of the compass at one of the ends of the line segment to be bisected
  • Widen the compass so as to extend more than half of the length of the segment to be bisected
  • Draw two arcs, one above, and the other below the line
  • Place the compass needle at the other end and with the same compass width draw arcs that intersects with the arcs drawn in the above step
  • Draw a line segment by placing the ruler on the points of intersection of the arcs above and below the line

The steps to construct an angle bisector are;

  • With the compass needle at the vertex, open the pencil end such that arcs can be drawn on the rays (lines) forming the angle
  • Draw an arc on both lines forming the angle
  • Place the compass needle at one of the intersection points and draw an arc in between the lines forming the angle
  • Repeat the above step with the same compass width from the other intersection point with the rays forming the angle
  • Join the point of intersection of the two arcs to the vertex of the angle to bisect the angle

Therefore, we have;

The similarities are;

  • A compass and a straight edge can be used for both construction
  • A straight line is drawn from the point of intersection of arcs to bisect the segment or the angle
  • The arcs are drawn from the ends of the segment or angle to be bisected
  • The width of the compass is more than half the width of the line or angle when drawing the arcs

The differences are;

  • In a segment bisector, the intersection point is above and below the line, while in an angle bisector only one pair of arcs are drawn to intersect above the line
  • The bisecting line passes through the segment being bisected, while the line stops at the vertex in an angle bisector

If f(x) = 1 – x, which value is equivalent to |f(i)|? options are:
g100num [7]
We have to determine which value is equivalent to | f ( i ) | if the function is: f ( x ) = 1 - x. We know that for the complex number: z = a + b i , the absolute value is: | z | = sqrt( a^2 + b^2 ). In this case: | f ( i )| = | 1 - i |. So: a = 1, b = - 1. | f ( i ) | = sqrt ( 1^2 + ( - 1 )^2) = sqrt ( 1 + 1 ) = sqrt ( 2 ). Answer: <span>C. sqrt( 2 )</span>

Find the point (x,y) of x2+14xy+49y2=100 that is closest to the origin and lies in the first quadrant.
Gala2k [10]

Notice that

x^2+14xy+49y^2=(x+7y)^2

so the constraint is a set of two lines,

(x+7y)^2=100\implies\begin{cases}x+7y=10\\x+7y=10\end{cases}

and only the first line passes through the first quadrant.

The distance between any point (x,y) in the plane is \sqrt{x^2+y^2}, but we know that \sqrt{f(x,y)} and f(x,y) share the same critical points, so we need only worry about minimizing x^2+y^2. The Lagrangian for this problem is then

L(x,y,\lambda)=x^2+y^2+\lambda(x+7y-10)

with partial derivatives (set equal to 0)

L_x=2x+\lambda=0

L_y=2y+7\lambda=0

L_\lambda=x+7y-10=0

We have

L_y-7L_x=2y-14x=0\implies y=7x

which tells us that

x+7y-10=0\iff x+49x=10\implies x=\dfrac15\implies y=\dfrac75

so that \left(\dfrac15,\dfrac75\right) is a critical point. The Hessian for the target function x^2+y^2 is

H(x,y)=\begin{bmatrix}2&0\\0&2\end{bmatrix}

which is positive definite for all x,y, so the critical point is the site of a minimum. The minimum distance itself (which we don't seem to care about for this problem, but we might as well state it) is \sqrt{\left(\dfrac15\right)^2+\left(\dfrac75\right)^2}=2.

What is the 12th term of the sequence? <br> 3, −9, 27, −81, 243, ...
mestny [16]
The answer is 27 because not only does it refer to the number line sequence it doesn't actually mean a big number comes behind it. what ever it starts with,it multiplies the same pass the big number
