    any ideas? sin[arccos(-sqrt[3]/2) + arctan(-sqrt[3]/3)] (easy angles)

    . . . . .\sin\left[\arccos\left(-\dfrac{\sqrt{3\,}}{2}\right)\, +\, \arctan\left(-\dfrac{\sqrt{3\,}}{3}\right)\right] so I know these are easy angles and we all know the values, but what if they weren't and I couldn't use a calculator? My teacher said it can be solved using sin(a+b) = sina cosb...

    Vector perpendicular to two skew lines

    PQ is the vector connecting P(point in r) to Q( in s ) . It need to be perpendicular to both lines,therefore the dot product with both direction vectors is 0. PQ = (1-2b - 2 - 3a , 2+b - 2 , b -3 + 2a) Vr = (3,0,-2) vs = (-2,1,1) PQ * vr = 0 PQ * vs = 0 After...

    Vector perpendicular to two skew lines

    a= 5/7 and b = -11/14 l : x = 2+ 15/7 + 2c , y = 2 , z = 3 - 10/7 + 3c I think its right now but i'll try to see if there's a different approach

    Vector perpendicular to two skew lines

    Same thing. The equations i've found is: x =11/3+2c, y=2+c, z=17/9+3c , is you use a point of r. a=5/3 x = 7/3 + 2c , y = 4/3 + c , z = -4/6 + 3c , if you use s , (b = -4/6) So which vector should i use ? it makes sense to me using (2,1,3) because it is perpendicular to two planes that...

    Vector perpendicular to two skew lines

    Like this Xr -Xs = 2 * (k) ? 2+3a -(1- 2b) = 2k 2 - (2+b) = k 3-2a - (b) = 3k Then i've found b = k = 11/12 and a = -1/3. But that a line perpendicular only to r and doesnt intersect s

    Vector perpendicular to two skew lines

    Sorry can you explain again? I still don't know how i gonna find which points of each lines that are part of the third line

    Vector perpendicular to two skew lines

    Line perpendicular to two skew lines I've been given these two lines and need to find the equation of a l line that is perpendicular to BOTH . What i've done so far: r : x = 2+3a , y = 2 , z= 3-2a Checked and they aren't parallel and don't have any commom points. s: x = 1-2b ...

    component of composite function: given fcns (f o g)(x) and g(x), how to find f(x) ?

    Awesome! Found the exact same result as the "guessing" and it is much easier. Thank you!

    component of composite function: given fcns (f o g)(x) and g(x), how to find f(x) ?

    Multiply by x? But in this case wouldnt the x be (2x -3)?

    component of composite function: given fcns (f o g)(x) and g(x), how to find f(x) ?

    I've meant that when you only know (f o g)(x) you have several pairs of equation for f(x) and g(x) , but when you know one of them, you still can have a lot of possibilities for the other one? Like i said i've only tried to fill in the equation : f(2x - 3) = 2x^2 -4x + 1 but i couldnt operate...

    component of composite function: given fcns (f o g)(x) and g(x), how to find f(x) ?

    (f o g)(x) is 2x^2 -4x + 1 and g(x) = 2x - 3. That means f(2x - 3) = 2x^2 -4x + 1 right? How do i get to know the f equation?

    component of composite function: given fcns (f o g)(x) and g(x), how to find f(x) ?

    so lets suppose i know the composite function : (f o g)(x) and one function g(x). How do i calculate the other one? i mean i know that a composite function have several possible pairs of functions,but when i already have one of them stickied it is still many possibilities? (f o g)(x) =...

    help again geometic locus: r: y=-4/3x + 3 and s: y=-1

    Yea sorry english is not my native language . I think Absolute value/Modulus are the right terms. Transformed y=-4/3x + 3 to 4x+3y-9=0 |4x+3y-9|/ Square root 4^2 + 3^2 = |y+1|

    help again geometic locus: r: y=-4/3x + 3 and s: y=-1

    No need to deal with angles. Found a easier way. As of the distance between a the center and both lines are equal(radius),i just needed to equal both distance equations.Just be careful with the module on either side,there are both situations:they are both positive or both negative(eliminate...

    help again geometic locus: r: y=-4/3x + 3 and s: y=-1

    So the line is the bisector angle? I will try to find a point (center) of a circle that matches the two lines and then apply it to the line equation using the half of angle between them(problem is that my teacher hasn't taught that,so i don't know if i supposed to use this,but its very easy...

    help again geometic locus: r: y=-4/3x + 3 and s: y=-1

    I did, like i said it matters only the center of the circumferences, which clearly looks like a line. I've done more simplier exercices before that given a circumference you should find the line tangent to certain point but that looks beyond.

    help again geometic locus: r: y=-4/3x + 3 and s: y=-1

    Consider the family of all circumferences that are simultaneously tangent to the lines r: y=-4/3x + 3 and s: y=-1. What is the geometric locus and its equation formed by all the circumferences center? I think it is a line but how do i get to the equation??
