Answer:

<h3>AC=96 units.</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given a parallelogram ABCD with diagonals AC and BD intersect at point E.

$AE=x^2-16.$ , and CE=6x .

<em>Note: The diagonals of a parallelogram intersects at mid-point.</em>

Therefore, AE = EC.

Plugging expressions for AE and EC, we get

$x^2-16=6x.$

Subtracting 6x from both sides, we get

$x^2-16-6x=6x-6x$

$x^2-6x-16=0$

Factoriong quadratic by product sum rule.

We need to find the factors of -16 that add upto -6.

-16 has factors -8 and +2 that add upto -6.

Therefore, factor of $x^2-6x-16=0$ quadratic is (x-8)(x+2)=0

Setting each factor equal to 0 and solve for x.

x-8=0 => x=8

x+2=0 => x=-2.

We can't take x=-2 as it's a negative number.

Therefore, plugging x=8 in EC =6x, we get

EC = 6(8) = 48.

<h3>AC = AE + EC = 48+48 =96 units.</h3>

Answer: <span>Newton’s laws can explain the forces that occur between objects every day.

Newton's Laws are known as the "Three Laws of Motion." They address inertia, force, and gravity. Because these are all phenomenons that occur every day, that is the correct answer.

a. Parameterize $C$ by

$\vec r(t)=(1-t)(5\,\vec\imath)+t(2\,\vec\jmath)=(5-5t)\,\vec\imath+2t\,\vec\jmath$

with $0\le t\le1$ .

b/c. The line integral of $\vec F(x,y)=-y\,\vec\imath+x\,\vec\jmath$ over $C$ is

$\displaystyle\int_C\vec F(x,y)\cdot\mathrm d\vec r=\int_0^1\vec F(x(t),y(t))\cdot\frac{\mathrm d\vec r(t)}{\mathrm dt}\,\mathrm dt$

$=\displaystyle\int_0^1(-2t\,\vec\imath+(5-5t)\,\vec\jmath)\cdot(-5\,\vec\imath+2\,\vec\jmath)\,\mathrm dt$

$=\displaystyle\int_0^1(10t+(10-10t))\,\mathrm dt$

$=\displaystyle10\int_0^1\mathrm dt=\boxed{10}$

d. Notice that we can write the line integral as

$\displaystyle\int_C\vecF\cdot\mathrm d\vec r=\int_C(-y\,\mathrm dx+x\,\mathrm dy)$

By Green's theorem, the line integral is equivalent to

$\displaystyle\iint_D\left(\frac{\partial x}{\partial x}-\frac{\partial(-y)}{\partial y}\right)\,\mathrm dx\,\mathrm dy=2\iint_D\mathrm dx\,\mathrm dy$

where $D$ is the triangle bounded by $C$ , and this integral is simply twice the area of $D$ . $D$ is a right triangle with legs 2 and 5, so its area is 5 and the integral's value is 10.
