Find x so that the points (x,x+1), (x+2,x+3) and (x+3,2x+4) form a right-angled triangle.

Answers

Answer 1

Let a, b, and c be vectors each starting at the origin and terminating at the points (x, x + 1), (x + 2, x + 3), and (x + 3, 2x + 4), respectively.

Then the vectors a - b, a - c, and b - c are vectors that point in directions parallel to each of the legs formed by the triangle with these points as its vertices.

If this triangle is to contain a right angle, then exactly one of these pairs of vectors must be orthogonal. In other words, one of the following must be true:

(a - b) • (a - c) = 0

or

(a - b) • (b - c) = 0

or

(a - c) • (b - c) = 0

We have

a - b = (x, x + 1) - (x + 2, x + 3) = (-2, -2)

a - c = (x, x + 1) - (x + 3, 2x + 4) = (-3, -x - 3)

b - c = (x + 2, x + 3) - (x + 3, 2x + 4) = (-1, -x - 1)

Case 1: If (a - b) • (a - c) = 0, then

(-2, -2) • (-3, -x - 3) = (-2)×(-3) + (-2)×(-x - 3) = 2x + 12 = 0   ==>   x = -6

which would make a - c = (-3, 3) and b - c = (-1, 5), and their dot product is not zero. Then the triangles vertices are at the points (-6, -5), (-4, -3), and (-3, -8).

Case 2: If (a - b) • (b - c) = 0, then

(-2, -2) • (-1, -x - 1) = (-2)×(-1) + (-2)×(-x - 1) = 2x + 4 = 0   ==>   x = -2

which would make a - c = (-3, -1) and b = (-1, 1), and their dot product is also not zero. The vertices are the points (-2, -1), (0, 1), and (1, 0).

Case 3: If (a - c) • (b - c) = 0, then

(-3, -x - 3) • (-1, -x - 1) = (-3)×(-1) + (-x - 3)×(-x - 1) = x ² + 4x + 6 = 0

but the solutions to x here are non-real, so we throw out this case.

So there are two possible values of x that make a right triangle, x = -6 and x = -2.

Step-by-step explanation:

(17). g(x) = x³ + 4x

f(x) = 4x + 1

( f × g )( x ) = ( x³ + 4x )( 4x + 1 ) = 4 [tex]x^{4}[/tex] + x³ + 16x² + 4x

(19). f(t) = 4t - 4

g(t) = t - 2

( 4f + 3g )( t ) = 4(4t - 4) + 3(t - 2) = 16t - 16 + 3t - 6 = 19t - 22

g(t) = 4t + 1

h(t - 2) + g(t - 2) = ( t - 2 ) + 3 + 4( t - 2 ) + 1 = t + 4t - 2 + 3 - 8 + 1 = 5t - 6

Answer:

k = -10

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to solve for k, we need to isolate the variable. This means we need k to be on one side of the equation by itself.

We are given:

[tex]-\frac{6}{5}k=12[/tex]

The first thing I would do is multiply both sides of the equation by 5:

[tex](5)-\frac{6}{5}k=12(5)[/tex]

This leaves us with:

[tex]-6k=60[/tex]

Now, in order to get k by itself, we need to divide by -6 on both sides:

[tex]\frac{-6k}{-6}=\frac{60}{-6}[/tex]

Therefore:

[tex]k=-10[/tex]

Recall that ab   ⇔   ¬ab. So we can write

Then the negation of this would be, for instance,

…   ⇔   q ∧ (¬p ∨ ¬r )
