Find the derivative of [tex]tan^{-1} x[/tex] by 1st principle of derivative.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

[tex]\dfrac{\text{d}}{\text{d}x} \tan^{-1}x=\dfrac{1}{1+x^2}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]\boxed{\begin{minipage}{6.5 cm}\underline{Trigonometric Identity}\\\\$\tan^{-1}(A)-\tan^{-1}(B) \equiv \tan^{-1}\left(\dfrac{A-B}{1+AB}\right)$\\\end{minipage}}[/tex]

[tex]\boxed{\begin{minipage}{3 cm}$\displaystyle \lim_{h \to 0} \left[\dfrac{\tan^{-1} \theta}{\theta} \right]=1$\\\end{minipage}}[/tex]

[tex]\boxed{\begin{minipage}{5.6 cm}\underline{Differentiating from First Principles}\\\\$\text{f}\:'(x)=\displaystyle \lim_{h \to 0} \left[\dfrac{\text{f}(x+h)-\text{f}(x)}{(x+h)-x}\right]$\\\end{minipage}}[/tex]

Given function:

[tex]\text{f}(x)=\tan^{-1}x[/tex]

[tex]\implies \text{f}(x+h)=\tan^{-1}(x+h)[/tex]

Differentiating from first principles:

[tex]\begin{aligned}\text{f}\:'(x) & =\displaystyle \lim_{h \to 0} \left[\dfrac{\text{f}(x+h)-\text{f}(x)}{(x+h)-x}\right]\\\\& =\lim_{h \to 0} \left[\dfrac{\tan^{-1}(x+h)-\tan^{-1}x}{(x+h)-x}\right]\end{aligned}[/tex]

Using the trigonometric identity to rewrite the numerator:

       [tex]\begin{aligned}& =\lim_{h \to 0} \left[\dfrac{\tan^{-1}\left(\dfrac{x+h-x}{1+x(x+h)}\right)}{(x+h)-x}\right]\\\\& =\lim_{h \to 0} \left[\dfrac{\tan^{-1}\left(\dfrac{h}{1+x^2+xh)}\right)}{h}\right]\end{aligned}[/tex]

[tex]\textsf{Multiply the denominator by }\dfrac{1+x^2+xh}{1+x^2+xh}:[/tex]

       [tex]= \displaystyle \lim_{h \to 0} \left[\dfrac{\tan^{-1}\left(\dfrac{h}{1+x^2+xh)}\right)}{\dfrac{h(1+x^2+xh)}{(1+x^2+xh)}}\right][/tex]

Separate:

       [tex]= \displaystyle \lim_{h \to 0} \left[\dfrac{\tan^{-1}\left(\dfrac{h}{1+x^2+xh)}\right)}{\dfrac{h}{(1+x^2+xh)}} \right] \cdot \displaystyle \lim_{h \to 0} \left[\dfrac{1}{1+x^2+xh}\right][/tex]

[tex]\textsf{Use }\displaystyle \lim_{h \to 0} \left[\dfrac{\tan^{-1} \theta}{\theta} \right]=1:[/tex]

       [tex]= 1 \cdot \displaystyle \lim_{h \to 0} \left[\dfrac{1}{1+x^2+xh}\right][/tex]

As h gets close to zero:

       [tex]= 1 \cdot \left[\dfrac{1}{1+x^2}\right][/tex]

Simplify:

       [tex]=\dfrac{1}{1+x^2}[/tex]

Answer 2

Answer:

To find the derivative of [tex]\tan^{-1} x[/tex] using the first principle of derivative, we need to use the definition of the derivative:

f'(x) = lim(h->0) [(f(x + h) - f(x)) / h]

where f(x) = [tex]\tan^{-1} x[/tex].

Substituting f(x) into the definition of the derivative, we get:

f'(x) = lim(h->0) [([tex]\tan^{-1}[/tex](x + h) - [tex]\tan^{-1}/tex) / h]

To simplify this expression, we can use the formula for the inverse tangent of a sum:

[tex]\tan^{-1}[/tex](a + b) = [tex]\tan^{-1}[/tex]a + [tex]\tan^{-1}[/tex]b - [tex]\pi[/tex]/2

Using this formula, we can rewrite the numerator of the expression above as:

([tex]\tan^{-1}[/tex](x + h) - [tex]\tan^{-1}/tex) = [tex]\tan^{-1}[/tex]((x + h) / (1 + (x + h)^2)) - [tex]\tan^{-1}[/tex](x / (1 + x^2))

Now, substituting this expression back into the definition of the derivative, we get:

f'(x) = lim(h->0) [[tex]\tan^{-1}[/tex]((x + h) / (1 + (x + h)^2)) - [tex]\tan^{-1}[/tex](x / (1 + x^2))] / h

We can simplify this expression using algebra and trigonometry, and we get:

f'(x) = lim(h->0) [h / (1 + x^2 + hx + h^2 + x^2h + xh^2)] / h

f'(x) = lim(h->0) 1 / (1 + x^2 + hx + h^2 + x^2h + xh^2)

Now we can simplify this expression by dropping the terms that contain h^2 or higher powers of h, since they will approach zero faster than h as h approaches zero. We also drop the term containing x^2h, since it is a second-order term and will also approach zero faster than h. This leaves us with:

f'(x) = lim(h->0) 1 / (1 + x^2 + hx)

Now we can evaluate the limit as h approaches zero:

f'(x) = 1 / (1 + x^2)

Therefore, the derivative of [tex]\tan^{-1} x[/tex] by first principle of derivative is:

[tex]\frac{d}{dx}[/tex][tex]\tan^{-1} x[/tex] = 1 / (1 + x^2)

A blimp, suspended in the air at a height of 600 feet, lies directly over a line from a sports stadium to a planetarium. If an angle of depression from the blimp to the stadium is 37 degrees and from the blimp to the planetarium is 29 degrees, find the distance between the sports stadium and the planetarium.

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

so, this sounds like the blimp is located between the stadium and the planetarium.

we have a triangle :

the ground distance between the stadium and the planetarium is the baseline.

and the 2 lines of sight from the blimp on one side to the stadium and on the other side to the planetarium are the 2 legs.

we know the height of this triangle is 600 ft.

the angle of depression down to the stadium is 37°. which makes the inner triangle angle at the ground point at the stadium also 37°.

and the angle of depression down to the planetarium is 29°. which makes the inner triangle angle at the ground point at the planetarium also 29°.

and because the sum of all angles in a triangle is always 180°, we know the angle at the blimp is

180 - 37 - 29 = 114°

in order to solve this triangle, we need to split it into 2 right-angled triangles by using the height of the main triangle as delimiter.

we get a stadium side and a planetarium side triangle.

the baselines (Hypotenuses) of the 2 triangles are the corresponding lines of sight from the blimp.

the height of the large triangle is also a height and a leg in each small triangle.

and the stadium side part of the large baseline (between ground point and intersection with the height) is the second leg for the stadium side triangle.

and correspondingly, the planetarium side part of the large baseline (between ground point and intersection with the height) is the second leg for the planetarium side triangle.

the inner blimp angle of the stadium side triangle is

180 - 37 - 90 = 53°

and the inner blimp angle of the planetarium side triangle is

180 - 29 - 90 = 61°

now we can use the law of sine to get the lengths of the 2 parts of the baseline of the large triangle.

and when we add these 2 numbers we get the distance between stadium and planetarium.

law of sine is

a/sin(A) = b/sin(B) = c/sin(C)

with the sides being opposite of the associated angles.

for the stadium side triangle we get

part1/sin(53) = 600/sin(37)

part1 = 600×sin(53)/sin(37) = 796.226893... ft

for the planetarium side triangle we get

part2/sin(61) = 600/sin(29)

part2 = 600×sin(61)/sin(29) = 1,082.428653... ft

the distance between the stadium and the planetarium is

part1 + part2 = 1,878.655546... ft

Hi Student!

Looking at this problem, it's fairly simple and just asks us to determine whether x = 1 is a solution to the expression that was provided.  The first step that we must take to solving this is to plug in the value 1 for each of the places that we have x.  Then we simplify and look at the final expression and if it evaluates to true than x = 1 is a solution to the expression.

Plug in the values

[tex]x^3 + 3 \ge 8 - 4[/tex][tex](1)^3 + 3 \ge 8 - 4[/tex]

Simplify both sides

[tex]1 + 3 \ge 8 - 4[/tex][tex]4 \ge 4[/tex]

Looking at the final expression that is shown, we can see that it states that 4 is greater than or equal to 4 which evaluates to true since 4 is equal to 4.  Therefore, x = 1 would be considered a solution of the expression that was provided in this problem.

how to find the length of sides using pythagorean theorem​

Answers

Answer:

Pythagorean theorem is mainly used for finding the length of the third side of a right angled triangle if the lengths of other two sides are known.

For this, it is more useful if the theorem is stated in terms of the length of the sides of the triangle.

Consider a right angled triangle with sides of lengths p,b and h, where p,b and h are the lengths of perpendicular,base and hypotenuse respectively.

Draw squares on each of these sides.These squares have areas p²,b² and h².

For any right angled triangle with sides of length p,b and h;

[tex] \: \: \: \: \: \: \: {h}^{2} = {p}^{2} + {b}^{2} ....................(i)[/tex]

[tex] \therefore \: h = \sqrt{ {p}^{2} + {b}^{2} } [/tex]

From (i); p²=h²-b²

[tex] \therefore \: p = \sqrt{ {h}^{2} - {b}^{2} } [/tex]
