AlphaMaximus:

20-(60*(0.1/100)*20)=18.8 square feet of grass left.....dont really see what was complicated about the question. Open to correction though

bolkay47:
the question is on GP....it should somehow form a sequence. That's what I don't understand.

AlphaMaximus:

alright.....well in that case, this is how it goes:
We have info that field is depleted by 0.1% with each swipe of the cutlass, thus each swipe leaves the field devoid of 1/1000th its preceding area.
Therefore, mathematically, the first term, a=20, the ratio , r=1/1000, and the number of terms/swipes, n=60........in this case since we are interested in the amount left from whole, we subtract "r" from 1 and we have : 1-1/1000= 999/1000.....lets call 999/1000 "R".....then we use the formula S_remainder= a (R)ⁿ and we have:
S_remainder= 20*(999/1000)⁶⁰=18.83472524
To further corroborate the validity of the formula, lets examine a case where each flow of a pipe depletes a 1,000,000litre tank by 1/4.......the first time, 250,000(one-fourth of 1,000,000) will be removed leaving 750,000,the second time, 187,500 (one-fourth of 750,000), leaving 562,500, the third time,140,625(one-fourth of 562,500), will be removed leaving 461,875
.....instead of this rather cumbersome approach, the previously used formula can be used to attain the 461,875 litres left......a=1,000,000 and n=3, and R=1-r=1-1/4=3/4....therefore;
S_remainder=a(R)ⁿ=1,000,000*(3/4)³=421,875 litres. Thus, the method is justified.

bolkay47:
this is just excellent.... Although I don't know the answer yet cos its an assignment but WAO.#respect..

Q1)Use Lagrange multiplier to find the values of x,y,z that minimises the objective function f(x,y,z) =11xy+14yz+15xz, subject to the constrain xyz=147840

Q2) A rectangular box open at the top is to have a volume of 32cm-cube , what must be the dimension of the box so that the total surface is maximum .

bolkay47:
thanks so much sir...but why did you assume "a" to be 20?

efficiencie:



Given that:
arcsina+arcsinb+arcsinc=π

arcsina=π-arcsinb-arcsinc

Take the cosine of both sides:

cos(arcsina)=cos(π-arcsinb-arcsinc)

cos(arcsina)=cos(π-(arcsinb+arcsinc))

cos(arcsina)=
-cos(arcsinb+arcsinc)

cos(arcsina)=
-cos(arcsinb)cos(arcsinc)+ sin(arcsinb)sin(arcsinc)

√(1-sin^2(arcsina))=
-(√(1-sin^2(arcsinb))
√(1-sin^2(arcsinc)))+
sin(arcsinb).sin(arcsinc)

a√(1-a^2)=-a.√(1-b^2).√(1-c^2)+abc...1

and similarly the following is derived:

b√(1-b^2)=-b√(1-a^2).√(1-c^2)+abc...2

c√(1-c^2)=-c√(1-b^2).√(1-a^2)+abc...3

On adding up:

a√(1-a^2)+b√(1-b^2)+c√(1-c^2) =-a.√(1-b^2).√(1-c^2)
-b.√(1-a^2).√(1-c^2)
-c.√(1-b^2).√(1-a^2)+3abc ...4

Going back to the original equatn:
arcsina+arcsinb+arcsinc=π

arcsina+arcsinb=π-arcsinc
On taking the sine of both sides

sin(arcsina+arcsinb)=
sin(π-arcsinc)

sin(arcsina)cos(arcsinb)+ sin(arcsinb)cos(arcsina) =c

a.√(1-b^2)+b.√(1-a^2) =c ...5

and similarly the followin is derivd
a.√(1-c^2)+c.√(1-a^2) =b ...6

c.√(1-b^2)+b.√(1-c^2) =a ...7

And hence multiply 5 by
√(1-c^2), 6 by √(1-b^2) and 7 by √(1-a^2) the followin results:

a.√(1-b^2).√(1-c^2)+b.√(1-a^2).√(1-c^2)=c.√(1-c^2) ...8

a.√(1-c^2).√(1-b^2) +c.√(1-a^2).√(1-b^2) =b√(1-b^2) ...9

c.√(1-b^2).√(1-a^2)+b.√(1-c^2). √(1-a^2)=a.√(1-a^2) ...10

On adding up

2a.√(1-b^2).√(1-c^2)+
2b.√(1-a^2).√(1-c^2)+
2c.√(1-b^2).√(1-a^2) =
a.√(1-a^2)+b.√(1-b^2)+
c.√(1-c^2) ...11

On multiplyn equatn 4 by 2 we av:

2a√(1-a^2)+2b√(1-b^2)+2c√(1-c^2) =-2a.√(1-b^2).√(1-c^2)
-2b.√(1-a^2).√(1-c^2)
-2c.√(1-b^2).√(1-a^2)+6abc

on substituting the value of:
2a.√(1-b^2).√(1-c^2)+
2b.√(1-a^2).√(1-c^2)+
2c.√(1-b^2).√(1-a^2) from equatn 11

The following results:
2a√(1-a^2)+2b√(1-b^2)+2c√(1-c^2) =-a.√(1-a^2)-b.√(1-b^2)-
c.√(1-c^2) +6abc

3a√(1-a^2)+3b√(1-b^2)+3c√(1-c^2) =6abc

a√(1-a^2)+b√(1-b^2)+c√(1-c^2) =2abc

QED!

Too long! Any shortcut solutions!?

AlphaMaximus:

It wasnt an assumption......"a" represents the initial term, which in this case is 20.

efficiencie: the partial derivative of (δx/δy) with respect to 'x' is equal to what?

solve these?if x=sin@,simplify x/(1-x^2).note that @ stands for tita.

bolkay47:
sin@/1-sin^2@
But Sin^2@+cos^2@=1
So,cos^2@=1-sin^2@
: sin@/cos^2@
Sin@/cos@*1/cos@
Sin@/cos@=tan@
and 1/cos@=sec@
tan@*sec@
=tan@sec@...

Umartins1:


Hi,,, well done.

Do you know me? This is Umartins on myschool. We do compete together in the classroom. I don't have time for that again cos of poor network.

Anyway, I think you should re-visit the guy's question. The denominator is inside a square root.

neighy:
It might seem simple but guys please do justice to this Questions and give me a mention after every solving... Am Preparing For an Exam Thou... Thanks...


1) If 12 root e = X root 7 Find X where e=12

2) What is the area enclosed by the curve Y=4x-x^2, X=1,X=2, and the X axis

3) the factor of X^99+1

4)If F(x)=x/x-1, what is f(x+1)...

5) Find Lim 4+h-2/h... H}2...

Youngsage:

x + y =5 -------- eqn i.
x^x + y^y=31 ----- eqn ii.
From equatns i & ii, take the log of both sides
(xlog^x + ylog^y) = log 31------ eqn iii.
log(x+y) = log 5 ------------ eqn iv.
xylogxy= log 31 -------- eqn v.
log xy = log 5 --------- eqn vi.
(Using elimination method);
xylog5 = log31
xy = log 31/log 5 =6.2 approx. 6.

Recall, from eqn i, x + y = 5.
So x = 6/y or y = 6/x.
Therefore x=2 when y=3.
ans: x=2, and y=3.
