Setting up the problem
OK, let's work through triangle ABC with c = 10. Given cosBcosA=34, I’m mapping out a and b in terms of k, then calculating a, b, and c.
Breaking down constraints
OK, let's break down the constraints for x. It needs to satisfy 10/7<x<10 for side lengths a, b, and c to form a valid triangle.
Verifying the ratio
I’m checking if cosBcosA=34 aligns with ab=34. Using the law of cosines and side lengths, the equations match up.
Validating the equation
OK, let me see. I’m confirming that cosBcosA=34 holds true by simplifying and rearranging the equation to ensure it aligns with the given ratio.
Verifying the setup
It's interesting to see that the triangle is indeed a right triangle, with a2+b2=c2, and c as the hypotenuse. Given c=10, then a2+b2=100.
Drawing the triangle
I'm piecing together a 6-8-10 right triangle with the hypotenuse as 10. The angles align perfectly with these sides, and the incenter is 2 units away from each side.
Mapping coordinates
I'm placing the 6-8-10 triangle on the coordinate plane: C=(0,0), B=(8,0), and A=(0,6). The incircle has a radius of 2 and is centered at the incenter I.
Mapping the incenter
I'm gathering info on the incenter of a 6-8 right triangle. With coordinates C=(0,0), B=(8,0), and A=(0,6), the incenter is (2,2) with a radius of 2.
Pinpointing incenter coordinates
Refining the incenter of a 6-8 triangle as (2,2), it's positioned 2 units from each side, matching the side lengths and ensuring the right angle at the origin aligns with the coordinate system.
Determining the incenter
OK, let me see. I’m realizing that in a right triangle, the incenter is calculated using (a+b−c)/2. With a=6, b=8, and c=10, it’s at (2,2).
Summing distance squares
I’m thinking through PA2, PB2, and PC2 by defining their coordinates. We’ll then find the minimum and maximum of their sum within the incircle's boundary.
Piecing it together
I’m combining terms to express S=3(x2+y2)−16x−12y+100. To find the minimum and maximum, I’ll consider points within and on the incircle.
Expressing S
Rewritten in terms of (x−2) and (y−2), I express S as 3((x−2)2+(y−2)2)−4x+76. This adjustment simplifies the analysis.
Verifying calculations
Mapping out S involves checking arithmetic. S=3((x−2)2+(y−2)2)−4x+76, and ensuring terms are accurately combined, aligns with the incircle constraint.
Identifying critical points
Given f(X,Y)=3(X2+Y2)−4X, setting the partial derivatives to zero reveals critical points, like (2/3,0), within the region X2+Y2≤4.
Verifying critical point
I’m checking if (2/3,0) is inside the circle X2+Y2≤4. It’s a candidate for the minimum of f(X,Y) and the corresponding S.
Identifying boundary extremes
I'm noting that on the boundary X2+Y2=4, f(X,Y) peaks when X=−2, yielding 20 and an S of 88.
Identifying extrema
The global minimum of S is 200/3 at the interior point (2/3,0), while the global maximum is 88 at the boundary point (2,0). Progressing through these points confirms their alignment with the incircle boundary.
Confirming the boundary point
I verified that the maximum S is 88 at the boundary point (0,2). This ensures the leftmost point on the incircle and aligns with our earlier findings.
Confirming the boundary
I verified the distance from (0,2) to points A, B, and C, ensuring it aligns with the incircle's boundary.
Verifying calculations
I checked the distances from (8/3,2) to A, B, and C, confirming the sum of squares as 200/3, the global minimum.
