    MHB Partial fractions (5x^2+1)/[(3x+2)(x^2+3)]

    Trouble here in the below partial fraction (Bug) $\frac{5x^2+1}{(3x+2)(x^2+3)}$ One factor in the denominator is a quadratic expression Split this into two parts A&B $\frac{5x^2+1}{(3x+2)(x^2+3)}=\frac{A}{(3x+2)}+\frac{Bx+c}{(x^2+3)}$...

    MHB Partial fraction problem (x^2)/[(x-2)(x+3)(x-1)]

    Hello Everyone , I need some help in solving this partial fraction $\frac{x^2}{(x-2)(x+3)(x-1)}$ I am using this method in which the partial fraction is broken into 3 parts namely A,B &C $\frac{x^2}{(x-2)(x+3)(x-1)}=\frac{A}{(x-2)}+\frac{B}{(x+3)}+\frac{C}{(x-1)}$...

    MHB Prove Equal Area Triangle & Parallelogram, $\angle ADC=90^{\circ}$

    That's what was exactly missing here, ADFC is the cyclic quadrilateral and from there AFD= FDC and ADF= DFC ADF + FDC=ADC AFD+DFC=AFC AFD+DFC+ADF+FDC=180 2ADF + 2FDC = 180 dividing both sides by 2 ADF+FDC=90 ADC=90 Taking it the alternative way, Both squares and rectangles have...

    MHB Prove Equal Area Triangle & Parallelogram, $\angle ADC=90^{\circ}$

    :D A little bit confused here, A cyclic quadrilateral is a quadrilateral whose vertices all touch the circumference of a circle. But here there is no circle around the figure Many Thanks :)

    MHB Prove Equal Area Triangle & Parallelogram, $\angle ADC=90^{\circ}$

    The triangle ADC exactly one half of the area of the triangle ABC and the parallelogram ADCF is twice the area of triangle ADC and triangle ABC is twice the area of triangle ABC Now what remains is, Show that if $DE=AE$, then $\angle ADC=90^{\circ}$ Many THanks :)

    MHB Prove Equal Area Triangle & Parallelogram, $\angle ADC=90^{\circ}$

    Workings $\triangle ADE \cong \triangle CFE \left(AAS\right)$ $\angle AED = \angle CEF $( vertically opposite angles ) $\angle CFE= \angle EDA $( alternate angles ) $AE=EC $( E midpoint ) $ii.$ADCF is a parallelogram because diagonals bisect each other. Where is help needed How should...

    MHB ACT Problem: Finding The x-Intercept Of Given Line

    Re: ACT problem To find the x intercept of the graph of the function $y = x^2 – 4x + 4$ We may either use the completing the square method or we may use the formula $x=\frac{-b}{2a}$ The easiest way is to use $x=\frac{-b}{2a}$ From $y = x^2 – 4x + 4$ which is in the form of $ax^2+bx+c$ we...

    MHB Sum of First 20 Terms of Arithmetic Progression with Even Terms Removed

    The first term is 3 & the common difference as calculated above is +8. And I guess you are supposed to find the sum of first 20 terms of the above arithmetic progression in which all the 20 terms are odd numbers (Thinking)

    MHB Sum of First 20 Terms of Arithmetic Progression with Even Terms Removed

    From the first 20 term the number of odd numbers would be 10. (Thinking)

    MHB Sum of First 20 Terms of Arithmetic Progression with Even Terms Removed

    The third term $T_3=3+(3-1)4=8+3=11$ The difference between the first and the third term is $3 {\underbrace{\phantom{2d) + (3e}}_{\text{+8}}} 11$ The fifth term $T_5=3+(5-1)4=16+3=19$ The difference between the first and the third term is $11 {\underbrace{\phantom{2d) + (3e}}_{\text{+8}}}...

    MHB Proving Perpendicularity of Two Segments

    I was just taking a look again at this problem and how can we say that $\measuredangle XEB$ = 90 degrees , I know that $\measuredangle XEB$ = 90 degrees but how can we prove that ? as nowhere in the problem mentions that line XE is a perpendicular drawn $\measuredangle ADC$ can be proved 90...
