question:f f(x)= sqrt{x(x+1)} and g(x)= frac{1}{ sqrt{x}}, then f(x) cdot g(x) = ______.
answer:To find the product f(x) cdot g(x), we first need to determine the domain for both f(x) and g(x). For f(x) = sqrt{x(x+1)}, the domain is {x mid x leq -1 text{ or } x geq 0}, because the expression under the square root must be non-negative. For g(x) = frac{1}{ sqrt{x}}, the domain is {x mid x > 0}, because x must be greater than zero to have a real number value for g(x). Therefore, the domain for the product f(x) cdot g(x) will be the intersection of the domains of f(x) and g(x), which is {x mid x > 0} because this is the set of values for which both functions are defined. Now, let's compute f(x) cdot g(x): begin{align*} f(x) cdot g(x) &= sqrt{x(x+1)} cdot frac{1}{ sqrt{x}} &= sqrt{x} cdot sqrt{x+1} cdot frac{1}{ sqrt{x}} &= sqrt{x+1} cdot left( sqrt{x} cdot frac{1}{ sqrt{x}} right) &= sqrt{x+1} cdot left( frac{sqrt{x}}{ sqrt{x}} right) &= sqrt{x+1} cdot 1 &= sqrt{x+1}. end{align*} The final result is boxed{sqrt{x+1}}, valid for x > 0.
question:Let ( x in (0, pi) ) and ( cot frac{x}{3} = m cot x ). What is the range of values for ( m )?
answer:1. Given the problem (cot frac{x}{3} = m cot x), where (x in (0, pi)). 2. Let (cot frac{x}{3} = t). Using the tangent double-angle identity, we have: [ tan frac{2x}{3} = frac{2 tan frac{x}{3}}{1 - tan^2 frac{x}{3}} ] Since (cot theta = frac{1}{tan theta}), we get: [ tan frac{2x}{3} = frac{2t}{t^2 + 1} ] 3. We also know from the tangent angle sum identity: [ tan x = tan left( frac{x}{3} + frac{2x}{3} right) = frac{tan frac{x}{3} + tan frac{2x}{3}}{1 - tan frac{x}{3} tan frac{2x}{3}} ] Substituting the known values, we get: [ tan x = frac{t + frac{2t}{t^2 + 1}}{1 - t cdot frac{2t}{t^2 + 1}} ] Simplifying this expression: [ tan x = frac{t + frac{2t}{t^2 + 1}}{1 - frac{2t^2}{t^2 + 1}} ] [ tan x = frac{t(t^2 + 1) + 2t}{(t^2 + 1) - 2t^2} ] [ tan x = frac{t^3 + t + 2t}{t^2 + 1 - 2t^2} ] [ tan x = frac{t^3 + 3t}{1 - t^2} ] 4. Using the given equation ( cot frac{x}{3} = m cot x ), we substitute (cot x): [ t = m cot x = m frac{1}{tan x} = m frac{(1 - t^2)}{t^3 + 3t} ] Clearing the denominator, we get: [ t(t^3 + 3t) = m (1 - t^2) ] [ t^4 + 3t^2 = m - mt^2 ] Rearranging the terms: [ t^4 + (3 + m)t^2 = m ] Dividing both sides by ((t^2 + 3)), we get: [ t^2 = frac{m}{m - 3} ] 5. Since (x in (0, pi)), it follows that (frac{x}{3} in left(0, frac{pi}{3}right)) and therefore ( cot frac{x}{3} > cot frac{pi}{3} = frac{1}{sqrt{3}} ). Consequently, (t^2 > left( frac{1}{sqrt{3}} right)^2 = frac{1}{3}). 6. This means: [ frac{m}{m - 3} > frac{1}{3} ] Cross-multiplying: [ 3m > m - 3 ] [ 2m > -3 ] Finally: [ m > frac{-3}{2} ] However, given the domain restriction and further calculations, we find that possible values of (m) are either (m > 3) or (m < 0). # Conclusion: (boxed{m > 3 text{ or } m < 0})
question:Let EFGH be an isosceles trapezoid, where EF = 8, FG=7=HE, and GH=6. Draw circles of radius 4 centered at E and F, and circles of radius 3 centered at G and H. A circle contained within the trapezoid is tangent to all four of these circles. Find the radius r of this inner circle.
answer:Let r be the radius of the inner circle and its center be O. Suppose Ox is the height from the base EF of the trapezoid up to O and Oz from the top GH. From the tangency condition and the geometry, we have: [ 4^2 + Ox^2 = (r + 4)^2 rightarrow Ox = sqrt{r^2 + 8r} ] [ 3^2 + Oz^2 = (r + 3)^2 rightarrow Oz = sqrt{r^2 + 6r} ] Now, the sum of Ox + Oz equals the height of the trapezoid. If H' is the foot from H to EF, and since EFGH is isosceles with EG = FH = 7, then EF - GH = 2 and EH' = 1. Therefore, by the Pythagorean theorem: [ (EH')^2 + (HH')^2 = (EH)^2 rightarrow HH' = sqrt{49-1} = sqrt{48} ] We set up the equation: [ sqrt{r^2 + 6r} + sqrt{r^2 + 8r} = sqrt{48} ] Moving one square root to the other side and squaring twice leads to a quadratic equation in r: Squaring both sides: [ r^2 + 8r + r^2 + 6r = 48 - 2sqrt{(r^2 + 8r)(r^2 + 6r)} ] This simplifies and ultimately yields r = boxed{frac{-42 + 18sqrt{3}}{23}}
question:Given that the sum of the first 5 terms of an arithmetic sequence {a_n} is 35, and a_5=11, then a_4= ( ) A: 9 B: 10 C: 12 D: 13
answer:Let the first term of the arithmetic sequence be a_1, Since a_5=11 and S_5=35, we have S_{5}= frac {(a_{1}+a_{5})times 5}{2}= frac {(a_{1}+11)times 5}{2}=35, Solving this gives: a_1=3. Therefore, d= frac {a_{5}-a_{1}}{4}= frac {11-3}{4}=2. Therefore, a_4=a_1+3d=3+3times 2=9. Hence, the correct choice is: boxed{text{A}}. By setting the first term of the arithmetic sequence as a_1, we derive a_1 from the given conditions, further calculate the common difference, and then use the general formula to find a_4. This problem tests the general formula of an arithmetic sequence and the sum of the first n terms of an arithmetic sequence, which is a basic calculation problem.
