❓Convert the point left(10, frac{pi}{4}, 8right) in cylindrical coordinates to rectangular coordinates.
💡Okay, so I need to convert the cylindrical coordinates (10, π/4, 8) to rectangular coordinates. Hmm, I remember that cylindrical coordinates have three components: r, θ, and z. Rectangular coordinates are x, y, z. I think the conversion involves some trigonometry because cylindrical coordinates use angles and radii, which relate to circles.First, I should recall the formulas for converting from cylindrical to rectangular coordinates. I think it's something like x equals r times cosine of θ, and y equals r times sine of θ. The z-coordinate stays the same, right? So, z is just 8 in this case.Let me write that down:x = r * cos(θ)y = r * sin(θ)z = zGiven the cylindrical coordinates (10, π/4, 8), I can plug these values into the formulas. So, r is 10, θ is π/4, and z is 8.Calculating x first: x = 10 * cos(π/4). Now, cos(π/4) is a standard angle. I remember that cos(π/4) is √2/2. So, x = 10 * (√2/2). Let me compute that: 10 divided by 2 is 5, so x = 5√2.Next, calculating y: y = 10 * sin(π/4). Similarly, sin(π/4) is also √2/2. So, y = 10 * (√2/2), which is the same as x. Therefore, y = 5√2.And z remains 8, so that's straightforward.Wait, let me double-check my calculations. 10 times √2/2 is indeed 5√2 because 10 divided by 2 is 5. So, both x and y are 5√2. That makes sense because π/4 is 45 degrees, which lies in the first quadrant where x and y should be equal in magnitude.Is there anything else I need to consider? Maybe the units or the quadrants? Since θ is π/4, which is in the first quadrant, both x and y should be positive, which they are. So, I think I did that correctly.Let me visualize this. In cylindrical coordinates, r is the distance from the z-axis, θ is the angle from the positive x-axis, and z is the height. So, with r=10, θ=π/4, and z=8, the point is 10 units away from the z-axis, at a 45-degree angle from the x-axis, and 8 units up along the z-axis. Converting that to rectangular coordinates, it should be somewhere in the first octant where both x and y are positive, and z is positive.So, putting it all together, the rectangular coordinates should be (5√2, 5√2, 8). I think that's correct. I don't see any mistakes in my calculations, so I feel confident about this answer.
❓At the arcade, Tom won 32 tickets playing 'whack a mole' and 25 tickets playing 'skee ball'. If he spent 7 of his tickets on a hat, how many tickets is Tom left with?
💡First, I need to determine the total number of tickets Tom won by adding the tickets from both games.Tom won 32 tickets from 'whack a mole' and 25 tickets from 'skee ball'. Adding these together gives 32 + 25 = 57 tickets.Next, Tom spent 7 tickets on a hat. To find out how many tickets he has left, I subtract the tickets he spent from the total tickets he won.So, 57 - 7 = 50 tickets.Therefore, Tom is left with 50 tickets.
❓Simplify the expression:[sin^2 x + sin^2 (x + y) + 2 sin x sin y sin (x + y).]
💡Okay, so I have this expression to simplify: sin²x + sin²(x + y) + 2 sinx siny sin(x + y). Hmm, that looks a bit complicated, but maybe I can break it down step by step.First, let me write it out again to make sure I have it right:sin²x + sin²(x + y) + 2 sinx siny sin(x + y)Alright, so I see there are sine squared terms and a term with a product of sines. Maybe I can factor something out or use some trigonometric identities to simplify it.I remember that sin²θ can be written using the double-angle identity: sin²θ = (1 - cos2θ)/2. Maybe that could help, but I'm not sure yet. Let me see if I can group terms differently.Looking at the expression, I notice that the first two terms are sin²x and sin²(x + y). The third term is 2 sinx siny sin(x + y). Maybe I can factor something out from the first two terms or combine them in a way that relates to the third term.Wait, another thought: sometimes when you have products of sines, you can use product-to-sum formulas. The term 2 sinx siny is familiar because 2 sinA sinB = cos(A - B) - cos(A + B). Maybe that could be useful here.Let me try applying that identity to the third term:2 sinx siny sin(x + y) = sin(x + y) * 2 sinx sinySo, 2 sinx siny = cos(x - y) - cos(x + y). Therefore, substituting back:sin(x + y) * [cos(x - y) - cos(x + y)]Hmm, that gives me two terms: sin(x + y) cos(x - y) and -sin(x + y) cos(x + y). Maybe I can use product-to-sum identities again on these terms.I recall that sinA cosB = [sin(A + B) + sin(A - B)] / 2. Let's apply that to both terms.First term: sin(x + y) cos(x - y) = [sin((x + y) + (x - y)) + sin((x + y) - (x - y))]/2Simplifying the arguments:(x + y) + (x - y) = 2x(x + y) - (x - y) = 2ySo, the first term becomes [sin2x + sin2y]/2.Second term: -sin(x + y) cos(x + y) = -[sin((x + y) + (x + y)) + sin((x + y) - (x + y))]/2Simplifying the arguments:(x + y) + (x + y) = 2x + 2y(x + y) - (x + y) = 0So, the second term becomes -[sin(2x + 2y) + sin0]/2. Since sin0 = 0, this simplifies to -sin(2x + 2y)/2.Putting it all together, the third term becomes:[sin2x + sin2y]/2 - sin(2x + 2y)/2So, now let's rewrite the entire original expression with this substitution:sin²x + sin²(x + y) + [sin2x + sin2y - sin(2x + 2y)]/2Hmm, that seems a bit more manageable. Let me write it out:sin²x + sin²(x + y) + (sin2x + sin2y - sin(2x + 2y))/2Now, maybe I can express sin²x and sin²(x + y) using the double-angle identity I mentioned earlier.So, sin²x = (1 - cos2x)/2 and sin²(x + y) = (1 - cos(2x + 2y))/2.Substituting these into the expression:(1 - cos2x)/2 + (1 - cos(2x + 2y))/2 + (sin2x + sin2y - sin(2x + 2y))/2Let me combine all these terms over a common denominator of 2:[ (1 - cos2x) + (1 - cos(2x + 2y)) + sin2x + sin2y - sin(2x + 2y) ] / 2Simplify the numerator:1 - cos2x + 1 - cos(2x + 2y) + sin2x + sin2y - sin(2x + 2y)Combine like terms:1 + 1 = 2So, numerator becomes:2 - cos2x - cos(2x + 2y) + sin2x + sin2y - sin(2x + 2y)Hmm, now I have a mix of sine and cosine terms. Maybe I can group them differently.Let me group the sine terms and cosine terms separately:[ sin2x + sin2y - sin(2x + 2y) ] + [ -cos2x - cos(2x + 2y) ] + 2Looking at the sine terms: sin2x + sin2y - sin(2x + 2y). Maybe I can use the sine addition formula on sin(2x + 2y).Recall that sin(A + B) = sinA cosB + cosA sinB. So, sin(2x + 2y) = sin2x cos2y + cos2x sin2y.Therefore, sin2x + sin2y - sin(2x + 2y) = sin2x + sin2y - (sin2x cos2y + cos2x sin2y)Let me distribute the negative sign:= sin2x + sin2y - sin2x cos2y - cos2x sin2yNow, factor sin2x and sin2y:= sin2x (1 - cos2y) + sin2y (1 - cos2x)Hmm, interesting. So, the sine terms simplify to sin2x (1 - cos2y) + sin2y (1 - cos2x).Now, let's look at the cosine terms: -cos2x - cos(2x + 2y). Maybe I can use the cosine addition formula on cos(2x + 2y).Recall that cos(A + B) = cosA cosB - sinA sinB. So, cos(2x + 2y) = cos2x cos2y - sin2x sin2y.Therefore, -cos2x - cos(2x + 2y) = -cos2x - (cos2x cos2y - sin2x sin2y)Distribute the negative sign:= -cos2x - cos2x cos2y + sin2x sin2yFactor out -cos2x:= -cos2x (1 + cos2y) + sin2x sin2ySo, now putting it all back together, the numerator becomes:[sin2x (1 - cos2y) + sin2y (1 - cos2x)] + [-cos2x (1 + cos2y) + sin2x sin2y] + 2Let me expand these terms:First group:sin2x - sin2x cos2y + sin2y - sin2y cos2xSecond group:- cos2x - cos2x cos2y + sin2x sin2yAdding all together:sin2x - sin2x cos2y + sin2y - sin2y cos2x - cos2x - cos2x cos2y + sin2x sin2y + 2Hmm, this is getting quite involved. Maybe I can look for terms that can cancel or combine.Looking for similar terms:- sin2x cos2y and + sin2x sin2y: Maybe factor sin2x?Similarly, - sin2y cos2x and + sin2y: Maybe factor sin2y?Let me try:sin2x (1 - cos2y + sin2y) + sin2y (1 - cos2x) - cos2x - cos2x cos2y + 2Wait, that might not be helpful. Alternatively, maybe I can use the identity sin²θ + cos²θ = 1 to simplify some terms.Looking at the terms:- sin2x cos2y and + sin2x sin2y: Maybe factor sin2x (sin2y - cos2y)Similarly, - sin2y cos2x: Maybe factor sin2y (-cos2x)But I'm not sure if that helps.Alternatively, perhaps I can consider using the identity for sinA - sinB or cosA - cosB.Wait, another approach: Maybe instead of expanding everything, I can consider the original expression and see if it resembles a known identity or formula.Looking back at the original expression:sin²x + sin²(x + y) + 2 sinx siny sin(x + y)Hmm, this looks similar to the formula for sin(A + B) or something else. Wait, actually, it resembles the expansion of (sinx + sin(x + y))², but let me check:(sinx + sin(x + y))² = sin²x + 2 sinx sin(x + y) + sin²(x + y)But in our expression, we have 2 sinx siny sin(x + y) instead of 2 sinx sin(x + y). So, it's not exactly the same.Wait, but maybe I can factor something else. Let me see:sin²x + sin²(x + y) + 2 sinx siny sin(x + y)Let me factor sin(x + y) from the last two terms:sin²x + sin(x + y) [sin(x + y) + 2 sinx siny]Hmm, that might be useful. Let me write it as:sin²x + sin(x + y) [sin(x + y) + 2 sinx siny]Now, let me look at the term inside the brackets: sin(x + y) + 2 sinx sinyI can write sin(x + y) as sinx cos y + cosx siny, using the sine addition formula.So, sin(x + y) + 2 sinx siny = sinx cos y + cosx siny + 2 sinx sinyCombine like terms:= sinx cos y + 2 sinx siny + cosx sinyFactor sinx from the first two terms:= sinx (cos y + 2 siny) + cosx sinyHmm, not sure if that helps. Alternatively, maybe factor siny:= sinx cos y + siny (2 sinx + cosx)Still not obvious. Maybe I can use another identity or approach.Wait, another idea: Maybe express everything in terms of cosines using the identity sin²θ = 1 - cos²θ.So, sin²x = 1 - cos²x and sin²(x + y) = 1 - cos²(x + y). Let's substitute these into the original expression:1 - cos²x + 1 - cos²(x + y) + 2 sinx siny sin(x + y)Simplify:2 - cos²x - cos²(x + y) + 2 sinx siny sin(x + y)Hmm, now the expression is 2 - cos²x - cos²(x + y) + 2 sinx siny sin(x + y). Maybe this is simpler, but I'm not sure if it's the most simplified form.Alternatively, perhaps I can consider using the product-to-sum identities on the term 2 sinx siny sin(x + y).Wait, let me try that. So, 2 sinx siny sin(x + y). Let me denote A = x, B = y, so it's 2 sinA sinB sin(A + B).I recall that 2 sinA sinB = cos(A - B) - cos(A + B). So, 2 sinA sinB sin(A + B) = [cos(A - B) - cos(A + B)] sin(A + B)Now, let me use the identity sinC cosD = [sin(C + D) + sin(C - D)] / 2.So, [cos(A - B) - cos(A + B)] sin(A + B) = cos(A - B) sin(A + B) - cos(A + B) sin(A + B)Apply the identity to each term:First term: cos(A - B) sin(A + B) = [sin((A + B) + (A - B)) + sin((A + B) - (A - B))]/2 = [sin(2A) + sin(2B)]/2Second term: cos(A + B) sin(A + B) = [sin((A + B) + (A + B)) + sin((A + B) - (A + B))]/2 = [sin(2A + 2B) + sin0]/2 = sin(2A + 2B)/2So, putting it all together:2 sinA sinB sin(A + B) = [sin2A + sin2B - sin(2A + 2B)]/2Therefore, substituting back into our expression:2 - cos²x - cos²(x + y) + [sin2x + sin2y - sin(2x + 2y)]/2Hmm, that's similar to what I had earlier. Maybe I can combine this with the other terms.So, the entire expression becomes:2 - cos²x - cos²(x + y) + (sin2x + sin2y - sin(2x + 2y))/2I'm not sure if this is leading me anywhere. Maybe I should try a different approach.Wait, another idea: Let me consider the original expression and see if it can be written as a product of sines or something else.sin²x + sin²(x + y) + 2 sinx siny sin(x + y)Let me think of this as sin²x + sin²(x + y) + 2 sinx siny sin(x + y). Maybe I can factor it as (sinx + sin(x + y))² - something.Wait, (sinx + sin(x + y))² = sin²x + 2 sinx sin(x + y) + sin²(x + y). Comparing this to our expression, we have an extra term: 2 sinx siny sin(x + y) instead of 2 sinx sin(x + y).So, the difference is that our expression has 2 sinx siny sin(x + y) instead of 2 sinx sin(x + y). Therefore, our expression is equal to (sinx + sin(x + y))² - 2 sinx sin(x + y) + 2 sinx siny sin(x + y)Simplify the last two terms:= (sinx + sin(x + y))² + 2 sinx sin(x + y)(siny - 1)Hmm, not sure if that helps. Alternatively, maybe factor out 2 sinx sin(x + y):= (sinx + sin(x + y))² + 2 sinx sin(x + y)(siny - 1)Still not helpful. Maybe I need to think differently.Wait, perhaps I can use the identity for sin(A) + sin(B) = 2 sin((A + B)/2) cos((A - B)/2). Let me see if that can help with sinx + sin(x + y).So, sinx + sin(x + y) = 2 sin((2x + y)/2) cos(-y/2) = 2 sin(x + y/2) cos(y/2)But I'm not sure if that helps directly. Alternatively, maybe I can express sin(x + y) in terms of sinx and cosy, etc.Wait, another approach: Maybe consider specific values for x and y to test the expression and see if it simplifies to something recognizable.For example, let me set y = 0. Then the expression becomes:sin²x + sin²(x + 0) + 2 sinx sin0 sin(x + 0) = sin²x + sin²x + 0 = 2 sin²xHmm, so when y = 0, the expression simplifies to 2 sin²x. Interesting.What if I set y = π/2? Then sin y = 1, and the expression becomes:sin²x + sin²(x + π/2) + 2 sinx * 1 * sin(x + π/2)But sin(x + π/2) = cosx, so:sin²x + cos²x + 2 sinx cosx = 1 + sin2xHmm, that's different from the previous case. So, depending on y, the expression can take different forms.Wait, maybe the expression simplifies to something involving sin2x or cos2x. Alternatively, perhaps it's a constant, but that doesn't seem to be the case since it depends on x and y.Wait, another idea: Maybe consider using the identity for sin(A) sin(B) sin(C). But I'm not sure about that.Alternatively, perhaps I can write everything in terms of exponentials using Euler's formula, but that might complicate things further.Wait, going back to the original expression:sin²x + sin²(x + y) + 2 sinx siny sin(x + y)Let me try to factor this expression. Maybe it can be written as (sinx + something)(sin(x + y) + something else). Let me see.Alternatively, maybe think of it as a quadratic in sinx or sin(x + y). Let me try treating it as a quadratic in sinx.So, the expression is sin²x + [2 siny sin(x + y)] sinx + sin²(x + y)This is of the form A sin²x + B sinx + C, where A = 1, B = 2 siny sin(x + y), and C = sin²(x + y)Maybe I can complete the square or factor it.Completing the square:A sin²x + B sinx + C = A (sinx + B/(2A))² + C - B²/(4A)So, substituting:= sin²x + 2 siny sin(x + y) sinx + sin²(x + y)= [sinx + siny sin(x + y)]² - [siny sin(x + y)]² + sin²(x + y)Simplify the last two terms:= [sinx + siny sin(x + y)]² + sin²(x + y) - siny² sin²(x + y)Factor sin²(x + y):= [sinx + siny sin(x + y)]² + sin²(x + y)(1 - siny²)But 1 - siny² = cosy², so:= [sinx + siny sin(x + y)]² + sin²(x + y) cosy²Hmm, not sure if that helps. Maybe I can factor further.Wait, another idea: Let me consider the term sinx + siny sin(x + y). Maybe express sin(x + y) as sinx cosy + cosx siny.So, sinx + siny (sinx cosy + cosx siny) = sinx + sinx siny cosy + sin²y cosxFactor sinx:= sinx (1 + siny cosy) + sin²y cosxHmm, still complicated.Wait, maybe I can factor cosx from the last term:= sinx (1 + siny cosy) + cosx sin²yHmm, not helpful.Alternatively, maybe factor something else.Wait, perhaps I'm overcomplicating this. Let me go back to the original expression and try a different approach.Original expression:sin²x + sin²(x + y) + 2 sinx siny sin(x + y)Let me consider using the identity for sin(A + B) = sinA cosB + cosA sinB.Wait, another idea: Maybe use the identity for sin²θ + sin²φ + 2 sinθ sinφ sin(θ + φ). Is there a known identity for this?I'm not sure, but perhaps I can think of it as a combination of angles.Wait, another approach: Maybe consider expressing everything in terms of cosines using the identity sin²θ = (1 - cos2θ)/2.So, sin²x = (1 - cos2x)/2 and sin²(x + y) = (1 - cos(2x + 2y))/2.Substituting these into the expression:(1 - cos2x)/2 + (1 - cos(2x + 2y))/2 + 2 sinx siny sin(x + y)Combine the first two terms:[1 - cos2x + 1 - cos(2x + 2y)] / 2 + 2 sinx siny sin(x + y)Simplify:[2 - cos2x - cos(2x + 2y)] / 2 + 2 sinx siny sin(x + y)Which is:1 - (cos2x + cos(2x + 2y))/2 + 2 sinx siny sin(x + y)Hmm, now I have 1 minus the average of cos2x and cos(2x + 2y) plus 2 sinx siny sin(x + y). Maybe I can use the identity for cosA + cosB.Recall that cosA + cosB = 2 cos((A + B)/2) cos((A - B)/2). Let me apply that to cos2x + cos(2x + 2y):cos2x + cos(2x + 2y) = 2 cos((2x + 2x + 2y)/2) cos((2x - (2x + 2y))/2) = 2 cos(2x + y) cos(-y) = 2 cos(2x + y) cosySince cos(-y) = cosy.So, (cos2x + cos(2x + 2y))/2 = cos(2x + y) cosyTherefore, the expression becomes:1 - cos(2x + y) cosy + 2 sinx siny sin(x + y)Now, let's look at the term 2 sinx siny sin(x + y). Earlier, I tried expanding it, but maybe I can use another identity here.Wait, I recall that 2 sinA sinB = cos(A - B) - cos(A + B). So, 2 sinx siny = cos(x - y) - cos(x + y). Therefore, 2 sinx siny sin(x + y) = [cos(x - y) - cos(x + y)] sin(x + y)Now, let's expand this:= cos(x - y) sin(x + y) - cos(x + y) sin(x + y)Using the identity sinA cosB = [sin(A + B) + sin(A - B)] / 2:First term: cos(x - y) sin(x + y) = [sin((x + y) + (x - y)) + sin((x + y) - (x - y))]/2 = [sin(2x) + sin(2y)]/2Second term: -cos(x + y) sin(x + y) = -[sin(2x + 2y) + sin0]/2 = -sin(2x + 2y)/2So, 2 sinx siny sin(x + y) = [sin2x + sin2y - sin(2x + 2y)]/2Therefore, substituting back into our expression:1 - cos(2x + y) cosy + [sin2x + sin2y - sin(2x + 2y)]/2Hmm, now let's write the entire expression:1 - cos(2x + y) cosy + (sin2x + sin2y - sin(2x + 2y))/2I'm not sure if this is helpful. Maybe I can combine terms differently.Wait, another idea: Maybe use the identity for sin2x + sin2y = 2 sin(x + y) cos(x - y). Let me try that.So, sin2x + sin2y = 2 sin(x + y) cos(x - y)Therefore, the numerator becomes:2 sin(x + y) cos(x - y) - sin(2x + 2y)So, the expression becomes:1 - cos(2x + y) cosy + [2 sin(x + y) cos(x - y) - sin(2x + 2y)]/2Simplify the fraction:= 1 - cos(2x + y) cosy + sin(x + y) cos(x - y) - sin(2x + 2y)/2Hmm, still complicated. Maybe I can express sin(2x + 2y) as 2 sin(x + y) cos(x + y). Let me try that.So, sin(2x + 2y) = 2 sin(x + y) cos(x + y)Therefore, - sin(2x + 2y)/2 = - sin(x + y) cos(x + y)So, substituting back:1 - cos(2x + y) cosy + sin(x + y) cos(x - y) - sin(x + y) cos(x + y)Now, factor sin(x + y) from the last two terms:= 1 - cos(2x + y) cosy + sin(x + y) [cos(x - y) - cos(x + y)]Hmm, interesting. Now, let's look at [cos(x - y) - cos(x + y)]. I can use the identity cosA - cosB = -2 sin((A + B)/2) sin((A - B)/2).So, cos(x - y) - cos(x + y) = -2 sin((x - y + x + y)/2) sin((x - y - (x + y))/2) = -2 sin(x) sin(-y) = 2 sinx sinyBecause sin(-y) = -siny.Therefore, [cos(x - y) - cos(x + y)] = 2 sinx sinySo, substituting back:= 1 - cos(2x + y) cosy + sin(x + y) * 2 sinx sinyWait, but that brings us back to the original term 2 sinx siny sin(x + y). So, this seems like a loop.Hmm, maybe I need to approach this differently. Let me consider specific values again to see if I can spot a pattern.For example, let me set x = y = π/4. Then:sin²(π/4) + sin²(π/2) + 2 sin(π/4) sin(π/4) sin(π/2)Calculate each term:sin(π/4) = √2/2, so sin²(π/4) = 1/2sin(π/2) = 1, so sin²(π/2) = 12 sin(π/4) sin(π/4) sin(π/2) = 2*(√2/2)*(√2/2)*1 = 2*(1/2)*1 = 1So, total expression: 1/2 + 1 + 1 = 2.5Hmm, 2.5 is 5/2. Not sure if that helps.Another test: x = 0, y = π/2sin²0 + sin²(π/2) + 2 sin0 sin(π/2) sin(π/2) = 0 + 1 + 0 = 1Another test: x = π/6, y = π/3sin²(π/6) = (1/2)² = 1/4sin²(π/6 + π/3) = sin²(π/2) = 12 sin(π/6) sin(π/3) sin(π/2) = 2*(1/2)*(√3/2)*1 = √3/2Total expression: 1/4 + 1 + √3/2 ≈ 1.25 + 0.866 ≈ 2.116Hmm, not a clear pattern. Maybe the expression doesn't simplify to a constant but rather to another trigonometric expression.Wait, going back to the original expression:sin²x + sin²(x + y) + 2 sinx siny sin(x + y)Let me consider writing it as sin²x + sin(x + y)[sin(x + y) + 2 sinx siny]Earlier, I tried expanding sin(x + y) + 2 sinx siny, but maybe I can find a way to express this as another sine function.Wait, another idea: Maybe use the identity for sin(A) + sin(B) = 2 sin((A + B)/2) cos((A - B)/2). Let me see if that can help with sin(x + y) + 2 sinx siny.Wait, actually, let me consider that term: sin(x + y) + 2 sinx siny.Express sin(x + y) as sinx cosy + cosx siny:= sinx cosy + cosx siny + 2 sinx sinyCombine like terms:= sinx cosy + 2 sinx siny + cosx sinyFactor sinx from the first two terms:= sinx (cosy + 2 siny) + cosx sinyHmm, not helpful. Alternatively, factor siny:= sinx cosy + siny (2 sinx + cosx)Still not obvious. Maybe I can write this as a single sine function using the identity sin(A + B) = sinA cosB + cosA sinB.Wait, let me think: If I can write sinx (cosy + 2 siny) + cosx siny as sin(x + something), but I'm not sure.Alternatively, maybe write it as sinx (cosy + 2 siny) + cosx siny = sinx cosy + 2 sinx siny + cosx sinyHmm, perhaps factor siny from the last two terms:= sinx cosy + siny (2 sinx + cosx)Still not helpful.Wait, another idea: Maybe express 2 sinx siny as cos(x - y) - cos(x + y), as before.So, sin(x + y) + 2 sinx siny = sin(x + y) + cos(x - y) - cos(x + y)But sin(x + y) - cos(x + y) + cos(x - y)Hmm, not sure.Wait, let me compute sin(x + y) - cos(x + y):= sin(x + y) - cos(x + y) = √2 sin(x + y - π/4)Using the identity sinθ - cosθ = √2 sin(θ - π/4)So, sin(x + y) - cos(x + y) = √2 sin(x + y - π/4)Therefore, sin(x + y) + 2 sinx siny = √2 sin(x + y - π/4) + cos(x - y)Hmm, not sure if that helps.Wait, maybe I can write the entire expression as:sin²x + sin(x + y)[sin(x + y) + 2 sinx siny] = sin²x + sin(x + y)[√2 sin(x + y - π/4) + cos(x - y)]Still complicated.At this point, I'm not sure if there's a straightforward simplification. Maybe the expression doesn't simplify nicely and is already in its simplest form. Alternatively, perhaps it can be expressed in terms of cosines as I did earlier.Wait, going back to the earlier step where I had:2 - cos²x - cos²(x + y) + [sin2x + sin2y - sin(2x + 2y)]/2Maybe I can combine the sine terms:sin2x + sin2y - sin(2x + 2y) = 2 sin(x + y) cos(x - y) - sin(2x + 2y)But sin(2x + 2y) = 2 sin(x + y) cos(x + y)So, substituting:= 2 sin(x + y) cos(x - y) - 2 sin(x + y) cos(x + y) = 2 sin(x + y)[cos(x - y) - cos(x + y)]Again, using the identity cosA - cosB = -2 sin((A + B)/2) sin((A - B)/2):= 2 sin(x + y)[ -2 sin(x) sin(-y) ] = 2 sin(x + y)[ 2 sinx siny ] = 4 sinx siny sin(x + y)Wait, that's interesting. So, sin2x + sin2y - sin(2x + 2y) = 4 sinx siny sin(x + y)Therefore, [sin2x + sin2y - sin(2x + 2y)]/2 = 2 sinx siny sin(x + y)So, substituting back into our expression:2 - cos²x - cos²(x + y) + 2 sinx siny sin(x + y)But wait, that's the same as the expression we had earlier. So, it seems like we're going in circles.Hmm, maybe the expression doesn't simplify further and is already as simple as it can be. Alternatively, perhaps it can be expressed in terms of cosines squared, but I'm not sure.Wait, another idea: Maybe use the identity cos²x + sin²x = 1 to express cos²x = 1 - sin²x and similarly for cos²(x + y). But that might not help.Alternatively, perhaps consider that the original expression is symmetric in some way or relates to a geometric interpretation, but I'm not sure.At this point, I think I've tried several approaches, and none have led to a significant simplification. It might be that the expression doesn't simplify into a more straightforward form and is already in its simplest form. Alternatively, perhaps I'm missing a key identity or approach.Wait, one last idea: Maybe consider expressing everything in terms of cosines using the identity sin²θ = (1 - cos2θ)/2 and then see if terms cancel out.So, sin²x = (1 - cos2x)/2 and sin²(x + y) = (1 - cos(2x + 2y))/2. Substituting into the original expression:(1 - cos2x)/2 + (1 - cos(2x + 2y))/2 + 2 sinx siny sin(x + y)Combine the first two terms:[1 - cos2x + 1 - cos(2x + 2y)] / 2 + 2 sinx siny sin(x + y) = [2 - cos2x - cos(2x + 2y)] / 2 + 2 sinx siny sin(x + y)Which simplifies to:1 - (cos2x + cos(2x + 2y))/2 + 2 sinx siny sin(x + y)As before, using the identity for cosA + cosB:cos2x + cos(2x + 2y) = 2 cos(2x + y) cosySo, (cos2x + cos(2x + 2y))/2 = cos(2x + y) cosyTherefore, the expression becomes:1 - cos(2x + y) cosy + 2 sinx siny sin(x + y)Hmm, still stuck. I think I've exhausted most of the standard trigonometric identities, and none have led to a simpler form. It might be that the expression is already simplified as much as possible, or perhaps it's intended to be expressed in terms of cosines squared as I had earlier.Wait, going back to the initial substitution where I had:sin²x + sin²(x + y) + 2 sinx siny sin(x + y) = 2 - cos²x - cos²(x + y) + 2 sinx siny sin(x + y)But since 2 sinx siny sin(x + y) is equal to [sin2x + sin2y - sin(2x + 2y)]/2, which we saw earlier, and that didn't lead to further simplification.Given that I've tried multiple approaches without success, I think the expression might not simplify into a more compact form and is already as simplified as it can be. Alternatively, perhaps it's intended to be left in terms of sine and cosine squares, but I'm not sure.Wait, another thought: Maybe consider the expression as a quadratic in sin(x + y). Let me try that.Original expression:sin²x + sin²(x + y) + 2 sinx siny sin(x + y)Let me denote A = sin(x + y). Then the expression becomes:sin²x + A² + 2 sinx siny AThis is a quadratic in A: A² + 2 sinx siny A + sin²xWhich can be written as (A + sinx siny)^2 + sin²x - sin²x siny²Wait, let me check:(A + sinx siny)^2 = A² + 2 sinx siny A + sin²x siny²So, to get our expression, we need to subtract sin²x siny²:= (A + sinx siny)^2 - sin²x siny² + sin²x= (A + sinx siny)^2 + sin²x (1 - siny²)But 1 - siny² = cosy², so:= (A + sinx siny)^2 + sin²x cosy²Hmm, not sure if that helps. Alternatively, maybe factor sin²x:= (A + sinx siny)^2 + sin²x cosy²Still complicated.At this point, I think I've tried all the standard trigonometric identities and approaches, and none have led to a significant simplification. It might be that the expression is already in its simplest form or that further simplification requires a non-standard identity or approach that I'm not recalling at the moment.Therefore, I think the expression sin²x + sin²(x + y) + 2 sinx siny sin(x + y) doesn't simplify into a more straightforward form using standard identities and might be considered simplified as it is, or perhaps expressed in terms of cosines squared as I had earlier.Wait, but in the initial attempt, the assistant tried to simplify it to 2 - cos²x - cos²(x + y), but that seems incorrect because when I tested specific values, the expression didn't match that form. For example, when x = 0, y = π/2, the original expression evaluates to 1, but 2 - cos²0 - cos²(π/2) = 2 - 1 - 0 = 1, which matches. Another test: x = π/4, y = 0, original expression is 2 sin²(π/4) = 2*(1/2) = 1, while 2 - cos²(π/4) - cos²(π/4) = 2 - (1/2) - (1/2) = 1, which also matches. Hmm, maybe that is correct after all.Wait, let me check another value: x = π/6, y = π/3Original expression: sin²(π/6) + sin²(π/2) + 2 sin(π/6) sin(π/3) sin(π/2) = (1/2)^2 + 1 + 2*(1/2)*(√3/2)*1 = 1/4 + 1 + √3/2 ≈ 1.25 + 0.866 ≈ 2.116Expression 2 - cos²x - cos²(x + y): 2 - cos²(π/6) - cos²(π/2) = 2 - ( (√3/2)^2 ) - 0 = 2 - 3/4 = 5/4 = 1.25Wait, that doesn't match. The original expression was approximately 2.116, but 2 - cos²x - cos²(x + y) is 1.25. So, they don't match. Therefore, the initial simplification by the assistant was incorrect.Therefore, the expression cannot be simplified to 2 - cos²x - cos²(x + y). So, I need to reconsider.Given that, I think the expression doesn't simplify into a more compact form using standard identities and might be left as is or expressed in terms of sine and cosine terms as above.Alternatively, perhaps it can be expressed in terms of cos(x - y) and cos(x + y), but I'm not sure.Wait, another idea: Maybe consider expressing the entire expression in terms of cos(x - y) and cos(x + y).Let me recall that sin²x + sin²(x + y) can be expressed using the identity sin²A + sin²B = 1 - cos²A + 1 - cos²B = 2 - (cos²A + cos²B). But that doesn't seem helpful.Alternatively, using the identity sin²A + sin²B = 1 - cos(2A)/2 + 1 - cos(2B)/2 = 2 - (cos2A + cos2B)/2.So, sin²x + sin²(x + y) = 2 - (cos2x + cos(2x + 2y))/2Then, the original expression becomes:2 - (cos2x + cos(2x + 2y))/2 + 2 sinx siny sin(x + y)As before, which leads us back to the earlier steps.Given that, I think I've explored all possible avenues and conclude that the expression doesn't simplify into a more straightforward form using standard trigonometric identities. Therefore, the expression is already in its simplest form.
❓In a sports club with some members, 17 play badminton and 17 play tennis, and 2 do not play either. There are 6 members who play both badminton and tennis. How many members are in the sports club?
💡First, I identify the given information:- Number of members who play badminton (B) = 17- Number of members who play tennis (T) = 17- Number of members who play both badminton and tennis (B ∩ T) = 6- Number of members who play neither = 2Next, I apply the principle of inclusion-exclusion to find the total number of members who play either badminton or tennis:Total who play either = B + T - B ∩ T = 17 + 17 - 6 = 28Finally, I add the number of members who play neither to the total who play either to find the overall total number of club members:Total members = Total who play either + Neither = 28 + 2 = 30

💡First, I need to determine Chiho's height by subtracting 0.14 meters from Sangheon's height of 1.56 meters.Next, I'll calculate Nara's height by adding 0.27 meters to Chiho's height.Finally, I'll present the final answer in a clear format.
❓Let ABC be a right triangle at A such that angle ACB = 30^circ. Denote by Gamma the circle passing through A and tangent to the midpoint of the segment [BC]. Gamma intersects (AC) at N and intersects the circumcircle of ABC at M. Show that (NM) and (BC) are perpendicular.
💡Okay, so I have this geometry problem here, and I need to figure out how to show that NM and BC are perpendicular. Let me try to visualize the problem first.We have a right triangle ABC, right-angled at A. So, angle BAC is 90 degrees. It also says that angle ACB is 30 degrees. Hmm, so angle at C is 30 degrees, which means angle at B must be 60 degrees because the angles in a triangle add up to 180. So, triangle ABC is a 30-60-90 triangle, right-angled at A.Now, they mention a circle Γ that passes through point A and is tangent to the midpoint of segment BC. Let me denote the midpoint of BC as P. So, P is the midpoint, meaning BP = PC. Since ABC is a right triangle at A, the midpoint P of BC is also the circumcenter of triangle ABC because in a right triangle, the circumcenter is at the midpoint of the hypotenuse. So, the circumradius is half the hypotenuse, which is BC/2.But wait, Γ is a different circle. It passes through A and is tangent to BC at P. So, Γ is tangent to BC at P, and passes through A. That means that at point P, the circle Γ is tangent to BC, so the radius of Γ at point P must be perpendicular to BC. Since BC is the base of the triangle, which is horizontal if I imagine the triangle with A at the top, then the radius at P would be vertical, meaning that the center of Γ lies somewhere along the vertical line through P.Also, since Γ passes through A, the center of Γ must lie somewhere on the perpendicular bisector of AP. Wait, no. The center of Γ must be equidistant from A and P because both are points on Γ. So, the center lies on the perpendicular bisector of segment AP.But also, since Γ is tangent to BC at P, the radius at P is perpendicular to BC. So, the center of Γ lies along the line perpendicular to BC at P. Since BC is the base, this perpendicular is the altitude from P, which in this case is the same as the median from A because ABC is a right triangle. Wait, no, the altitude from A is the same as the median because it's a right triangle.Wait, maybe I should draw this out mentally. Let me consider coordinates to make it clearer.Let me place point A at (0, 0), point B at (0, b), and point C at (c, 0). Since it's a right triangle at A, that makes sense. Now, angle at C is 30 degrees, so angle ACB is 30 degrees. In a 30-60-90 triangle, the sides are in the ratio 1 : √3 : 2. So, if I let AC be the side opposite the 30-degree angle, which is the shorter leg, then AC = 1, AB = √3, and BC = 2. But let me assign actual coordinates.Wait, maybe it's better to assign specific lengths. Let me set AC = 1, so AB would be √3, and BC would be 2. So, point A is at (0, 0), point C is at (1, 0), and point B is at (0, √3). Then, the midpoint P of BC would be at ((0 + 1)/2, (√3 + 0)/2) = (0.5, √3/2).Now, circle Γ passes through A (0,0) and is tangent to BC at P (0.5, √3/2). So, the center of Γ must lie on the line perpendicular to BC at P. Let me find the slope of BC first. BC goes from (1, 0) to (0, √3). So, the slope is (√3 - 0)/(0 - 1) = -√3. Therefore, the line perpendicular to BC at P will have a slope that is the negative reciprocal, which is 1/√3.So, the center of Γ lies somewhere along the line with slope 1/√3 passing through P (0.5, √3/2). Let me denote the center as O (h, k). So, the line is k - √3/2 = (1/√3)(h - 0.5). So, k = (1/√3)h - (1/√3)(0.5) + √3/2.Simplify that: k = (h)/√3 - 0.5/√3 + √3/2. Let me rationalize the denominators:0.5/√3 = (√3)/6, and √3/2 is already fine. So, k = (h)/√3 - (√3)/6 + √3/2. Combine the constants:√3/2 - √3/6 = (3√3/6 - √3/6) = (2√3)/6 = √3/3. So, k = (h)/√3 + √3/3.So, the center O is at (h, (h)/√3 + √3/3).Now, since O is the center of Γ, the distance from O to A must equal the distance from O to P because both A and P lie on Γ.Distance OA: sqrt[(h - 0)^2 + (k - 0)^2] = sqrt[h^2 + k^2].Distance OP: sqrt[(h - 0.5)^2 + (k - √3/2)^2].Set them equal:sqrt[h^2 + k^2] = sqrt[(h - 0.5)^2 + (k - √3/2)^2].Square both sides:h^2 + k^2 = (h - 0.5)^2 + (k - √3/2)^2.Expand the right side:= h^2 - h + 0.25 + k^2 - √3 k + 3/4.Simplify:= h^2 + k^2 - h - √3 k + 1.So, set equal to left side:h^2 + k^2 = h^2 + k^2 - h - √3 k + 1.Subtract h^2 + k^2 from both sides:0 = -h - √3 k + 1.So, h + √3 k = 1.But we already have k in terms of h: k = (h)/√3 + √3/3.Substitute into the equation:h + √3[(h)/√3 + √3/3] = 1.Simplify:h + [h + (√3 * √3)/3] = 1.√3 * √3 is 3, so:h + [h + 3/3] = 1.Simplify:h + h + 1 = 1.So, 2h + 1 = 1.Subtract 1:2h = 0 => h = 0.So, h = 0. Then, k = (0)/√3 + √3/3 = √3/3.So, the center O is at (0, √3/3). Interesting, so it's along the y-axis.So, the center is at (0, √3/3). Now, let's find the radius of Γ. It's the distance from O to A, which is sqrt[(0)^2 + (√3/3)^2] = √( (3)/9 ) = √(1/3) = 1/√3.So, the equation of Γ is (x - 0)^2 + (y - √3/3)^2 = (1/√3)^2 = 1/3.Simplify: x^2 + (y - √3/3)^2 = 1/3.Now, Γ intersects AC at N. AC is the side from A (0,0) to C (1,0). So, AC is the x-axis from (0,0) to (1,0). So, to find point N, we need to find the intersection of Γ with the x-axis (y=0).Set y=0 in Γ's equation:x^2 + (0 - √3/3)^2 = 1/3.Simplify:x^2 + ( (√3)/3 )^2 = 1/3.Which is:x^2 + (3)/9 = 1/3.Simplify:x^2 + 1/3 = 1/3.Subtract 1/3:x^2 = 0 => x=0.But that's point A. So, the only intersection is at A. Wait, but the problem says Γ intersects AC at N, which is different from A. That suggests that perhaps my coordinate system is not the best, or I made a mistake.Wait, maybe I messed up the assignment of coordinates. Let me think again.Alternatively, perhaps AC is not the x-axis. Maybe I should assign coordinates differently. Let me try another approach.Let me place point A at (0,0), point C at (c,0), and point B at (0,b). Since angle at C is 30 degrees, then tan(30) = AB / AC = b / c = 1/√3. So, b = c / √3.Let me set c = √3, so b = 1. So, point A is (0,0), C is (√3, 0), and B is (0,1). Then, midpoint P of BC is ((√3 + 0)/2, (0 + 1)/2) = (√3/2, 0.5).Now, circle Γ passes through A (0,0) and is tangent to BC at P (√3/2, 0.5). So, the center O of Γ lies on the perpendicular to BC at P.First, find the slope of BC. BC goes from (√3,0) to (0,1). So, slope is (1 - 0)/(0 - √3) = -1/√3. Therefore, the perpendicular slope is √3.So, the line perpendicular to BC at P has slope √3 and passes through (√3/2, 0.5). So, equation is y - 0.5 = √3(x - √3/2).Simplify: y = √3 x - (√3 * √3)/2 + 0.5 = √3 x - 3/2 + 0.5 = √3 x - 1.So, the center O lies on this line: y = √3 x - 1.Also, since O is the center of Γ, the distance from O to A equals the distance from O to P.Let O be (h, k). Then, OA = sqrt(h^2 + k^2), and OP = sqrt( (h - √3/2)^2 + (k - 0.5)^2 ).Set them equal:sqrt(h^2 + k^2) = sqrt( (h - √3/2)^2 + (k - 0.5)^2 ).Square both sides:h^2 + k^2 = (h - √3/2)^2 + (k - 0.5)^2.Expand the right side:= h^2 - √3 h + (3/4) + k^2 - k + 0.25.Simplify:= h^2 + k^2 - √3 h - k + 1.Set equal to left side:h^2 + k^2 = h^2 + k^2 - √3 h - k + 1.Subtract h^2 + k^2:0 = -√3 h - k + 1.So, √3 h + k = 1.But we also know that k = √3 h - 1 from the line equation y = √3 x - 1.Substitute k into the equation:√3 h + (√3 h - 1) = 1.Simplify:2√3 h - 1 = 1.Add 1:2√3 h = 2.Divide:h = 2 / (2√3) = 1/√3.Rationalize:h = √3 / 3.Then, k = √3*(√3 / 3) - 1 = (3)/3 - 1 = 1 - 1 = 0.So, center O is at (√3 / 3, 0). Wait, that's interesting. So, the center is on the x-axis at (√3 / 3, 0). So, the radius is the distance from O to A, which is sqrt( (√3 / 3)^2 + 0^2 ) = √(1/3) = 1/√3.So, the equation of Γ is (x - √3 / 3)^2 + y^2 = (1/√3)^2 = 1/3.Now, let's find point N where Γ intersects AC. AC is from A (0,0) to C (√3, 0). So, it's the x-axis. So, set y=0 in Γ's equation:(x - √3 / 3)^2 + 0 = 1/3.So, (x - √3 / 3)^2 = 1/3.Take square roots:x - √3 / 3 = ±1/√3.So, x = √3 / 3 ± 1/√3.Convert 1/√3 to √3 / 3:x = √3 / 3 ± √3 / 3.So, two solutions:x = (√3 / 3 + √3 / 3) = 2√3 / 3,and x = (√3 / 3 - √3 / 3) = 0.So, the intersections are at (0,0) which is A, and at (2√3 / 3, 0), which is point N.So, N is at (2√3 / 3, 0).Now, we need to find point M where Γ intersects the circumcircle of ABC. The circumcircle of ABC, since ABC is a right triangle at A, has its center at the midpoint of BC, which is P (√3 / 2, 0.5), and radius half of BC.Compute BC length: distance between (√3, 0) and (0,1):sqrt( (√3)^2 + 1^2 ) = sqrt(3 + 1) = 2.So, radius is 1. So, the circumcircle of ABC has center at P (√3 / 2, 0.5) and radius 1. Its equation is:(x - √3 / 2)^2 + (y - 0.5)^2 = 1.Now, find intersection points M of Γ and the circumcircle of ABC.Γ: (x - √3 / 3)^2 + y^2 = 1/3.Circumcircle: (x - √3 / 2)^2 + (y - 0.5)^2 = 1.We need to solve these two equations simultaneously.Let me subtract the equation of Γ from the equation of the circumcircle to eliminate the squared terms.First, expand both equations.Γ: (x^2 - 2√3 x / 3 + (√3 / 3)^2) + y^2 = 1/3.Simplify:x^2 - (2√3 / 3)x + (3)/9 + y^2 = 1/3.Which is:x^2 - (2√3 / 3)x + 1/3 + y^2 = 1/3.Subtract 1/3:x^2 - (2√3 / 3)x + y^2 = 0.Circumcircle:(x^2 - √3 x + (3/4)) + (y^2 - y + 0.25) = 1.Simplify:x^2 - √3 x + 3/4 + y^2 - y + 0.25 = 1.Combine constants:3/4 + 0.25 = 1, so:x^2 - √3 x + y^2 - y + 1 = 1.Subtract 1:x^2 - √3 x + y^2 - y = 0.Now, subtract Γ's equation from the circumcircle's equation:(x^2 - √3 x + y^2 - y) - (x^2 - (2√3 / 3)x + y^2) = 0 - 0.Simplify:-√3 x + y^2 - y - (-2√3 / 3 x) = 0.Wait, let me do it term by term:x^2 - √3 x + y^2 - y - x^2 + (2√3 / 3)x - y^2 = 0.Simplify:(-√3 x + (2√3 / 3)x) + (-y) = 0.Factor x:x(-√3 + 2√3 / 3) - y = 0.Compute the coefficient of x:-√3 + 2√3 / 3 = (-3√3 + 2√3)/3 = (-√3)/3.So, equation becomes:(-√3 / 3)x - y = 0 => y = (-√3 / 3)x.So, from this, we have y = (-√3 / 3)x.Now, plug this into Γ's equation:(x - √3 / 3)^2 + y^2 = 1/3.Substitute y:(x - √3 / 3)^2 + ( (-√3 / 3 x) )^2 = 1/3.Compute each term:First term: (x - √3 / 3)^2 = x^2 - (2√3 / 3)x + (3)/9 = x^2 - (2√3 / 3)x + 1/3.Second term: ( (-√3 / 3 x) )^2 = (3)/9 x^2 = (1/3)x^2.So, total equation:(x^2 - (2√3 / 3)x + 1/3) + (1/3)x^2 = 1/3.Combine like terms:x^2 + (1/3)x^2 - (2√3 / 3)x + 1/3 = 1/3.Simplify:(4/3)x^2 - (2√3 / 3)x + 1/3 = 1/3.Subtract 1/3:(4/3)x^2 - (2√3 / 3)x = 0.Factor out x:x(4/3 x - 2√3 / 3) = 0.So, x = 0 or 4/3 x - 2√3 / 3 = 0.If x = 0, then y = (-√3 / 3)(0) = 0. So, point A (0,0).If 4/3 x - 2√3 / 3 = 0:4/3 x = 2√3 / 3 => x = (2√3 / 3) * (3/4) = (2√3)/4 = √3 / 2.So, x = √3 / 2. Then, y = (-√3 / 3)(√3 / 2) = (-3 / 3)(1/2) = -1/2.So, point M is at (√3 / 2, -1/2).Wait, but the circumcircle of ABC is centered at (√3 / 2, 0.5) with radius 1, so point M is at (√3 / 2, -1/2), which is diametrically opposite to P (√3 / 2, 0.5). That makes sense because if you go from P down by 1 unit in the y-direction, you reach -1/2.Now, we have points N at (2√3 / 3, 0) and M at (√3 / 2, -1/2). We need to show that line NM is perpendicular to BC.First, find the slope of BC. BC goes from (√3, 0) to (0,1). So, slope is (1 - 0)/(0 - √3) = -1/√3.So, the slope of BC is -1/√3. Therefore, the slope of a line perpendicular to BC is the negative reciprocal, which is √3.Now, let's find the slope of NM. Points N (2√3 / 3, 0) and M (√3 / 2, -1/2).Compute the slope:m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1) = (-1/2 - 0)/(√3 / 2 - 2√3 / 3).Simplify denominator:√3 / 2 - 2√3 / 3 = (3√3 - 4√3)/6 = (-√3)/6.So, slope m = (-1/2) / (-√3 / 6) = (-1/2) * (-6 / √3) = (3)/√3 = √3.So, the slope of NM is √3, which is the negative reciprocal of the slope of BC (-1/√3). Therefore, NM is perpendicular to BC.Hence, we have shown that NM is perpendicular to BC.**Final Answer**boxed{perp}
