Please, help me with my math homework!

Thank you for the help, Tanthegreat.

With the help of the Badlion community, I will now be able to do my math homework.

I will post solutions now.

1.) I did it in a previous post. Here it is again for completeness:

ax+b = cx+d

(a-c)x = d-b

x=(d-b)/(a-c).
——————————————————————
2.) Solve by elimination: 5(3x+4y) = 15x+20y = 5M; (-3)(5x+6y) = -15x-18y = -3N. Add the two equations: 2y = 5M-3N —> y = (1/2)(5M-3N).

Now, substitute this into the first equation to obtain x: 3x + 4(1/2)(5M-3N) = 3x +10M-6N = M —> 3x = 6N - 9M —> x = 2N - 3M.

Our ordered pair is thus (x = 2N - 3M, y = (5/2)M -(3/2)N).
—————————————————————–
3.) a.) Let R be the radius of the circle with area A. Recall that A = pi*R^2. Equivalently, R = sqrt(A / pi). Hence, the diameter D = 2*sqrt(A/pi).

We know that the perimeter P = 4S, where S is the side length of the square with area B. Then, D = P = 2*sqrt(A/pi) = 4S. So, S = (1/2)*sqrt(A/pi).

Now, B = S^2. Then, B = (1/4)*(A/pi) = A/(4*pi). Hence, A/B = 4*pi.

b.) From a.), we know that B/A = 1/(4*pi). The sum S is a geometric series since 0 < 1/(4*pi) < 1. The resulting sum is S = 1/(1-B/A) = 1/(1-(1/4*pi)) = (4*pi) / (4*pi -1).
—————————————————————–
4.) a.) For an arbitrary quadratic polynomial r(x) = a(x-p)(x-q) = ax^2 -a(p+q)x +apq = Ax^2+Bx+C, we can see that the sum of the zeroes (p+q) = -B/A.

For our polynomials, we can take the independent sum of roots for both p(x) and q(x) and add them to obtain the sum of roots for p(x)q(x).

For p(x), we have the sum -b/a, and for q(x), we have the sum -e/d. Hence, the sum of roots for p(x)q(x) is -(b/a + e/d)

b.) Now, if x = 3 is a zero for both p(x) and q(x), we can easily obtain the other zeroes. Each zero of p(x) is a zero of p(x)q(x), likewise for q(x).

For p(x), Y1 + Y2 = -b/a = 3 + Y2 —> Y2 = -3-b/a.

For q(x), X1 + X2 = -e/d = 3 + X2 —> X2 = -3-e/d.

Therefore, the four roots of p(x)q(x) are 3, 3, -3-b/a, and -3-e/d.
——————————————————————-
5.) a.) To find the average value of a function f on an interval [a,b] we integrate f over the interval and divide by the length of the interval b-a.

First, we integrate: int [a, b] x ln (x^2) dx. Make the substitution u = x^2 ((1/2)du = x dx). Then, we have (1/2) int [a,b] ln(u) du.

Using integration by parts, one easily obtains (1/2) (u ln(u) -u ) |[a,b] = (1/2) (a ln(a) -a -b ln(b) + b) = (1/2) (ln((a^a)/(b^b)) + (b-a)).

Dividing by the length of the interval, we finally obtain the average value (1/2) ((1/(b-a))ln((a^a)/(b^b)) + 1).

b.) Standard limiting algorithms do not apply here since we obtain an indeterminate form 0*(-infinity) by naively substituting in x=0.

Apply L'Hospital's Rule to ln(x^2) / (1/x) = 2ln(x) / (1/x) to obtain lim(x–>0) (2/x) / (-1/x^2) = lim(x–>0) (-x^2/x) = 0. f(x) tends to zero as x approaches 0.

c.) This is an elementary application of differentiation. Calculate the derivative of f(x) with respect to x: f'(x) = 2ln(x) +2.

At x = 5, the slope is thus f'(5) = 2ln(5)+2. The value of the function f(x) at x=5 is f(5) = 10*ln(5).

Recall the slope-intercept form of a line: y=mx+b —> 10*ln(5) = 2(ln(5)+1)(5) +b —> 10*ln(5) -10*ln(5)-10 = b = -10.

The equation of the tangent line is therefore y = 2(ln(5)+1)x -10.

If you guys are going to post random things like 1+1=2, I'm going to delete your post. This guy is asking for help, stop using this as an excuse to shit post.


Thanks.

That's still pretty good and considerably beyond the standard math curriculum at most schools.

Are you planning on doing something math/science-related in college?

lol plz no, also yea my school is like 1/2 years ahead. The town right next to me is so shit, the only thing they are good at is track. Not trying to be racist but you can assume what the majority of the school is :P
