Answer 1

Question:

Find the point (,) on the curve [tex]y = \sqrt x[/tex] that is closest to the point (3,0).

[To do this, first find the distance function between (,) and (3,0) and minimize it.]

Answer:

[tex](x,y) = (\frac{5}{2},\frac{\sqrt{10}}{2}})[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]y = \sqrt x[/tex] can be represented as: [tex](x,y)[/tex]

Substitute [tex]\sqrt x[/tex] for [tex]y[/tex]

[tex](x,y) = (x,\sqrt x)[/tex]

So, next:

Calculate the distance between [tex](x,\sqrt x)[/tex] and [tex](3,0)[/tex]

Distance is calculated as:

[tex]d = \sqrt{(x_1-x_2)^2 + (y_1 - y_2)^2}[/tex]

So:

[tex]d = \sqrt{(x-3)^2 + (\sqrt x - 0)^2}[/tex]

[tex]d = \sqrt{(x-3)^2 + (\sqrt x)^2}[/tex]

Evaluate all exponents

[tex]d = \sqrt{x^2 - 6x +9 + x}[/tex]

Rewrite as:

[tex]d = \sqrt{x^2 + x- 6x +9 }[/tex]

[tex]d = \sqrt{x^2 - 5x +9 }[/tex]

Differentiate using chain rule:

Let

[tex]u = x^2 - 5x +9[/tex]

[tex]\frac{du}{dx} = 2x - 5[/tex]

So:

[tex]d = \sqrt u[/tex]

[tex]d = u^\frac{1}{2}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{dd}{du} = \frac{1}{2}u^{-\frac{1}{2}}[/tex]

Chain Rule:

[tex]d' = \frac{du}{dx} * \frac{dd}{du}[/tex]

[tex]d' = (2x-5) * \frac{1}{2}u^{-\frac{1}{2}}[/tex]

[tex]d' = (2x - 5) * \frac{1}{2u^{\frac{1}{2}}}[/tex]

[tex]d' = \frac{2x - 5}{2\sqrt u}[/tex]

Substitute: [tex]u = x^2 - 5x +9[/tex]

[tex]d' = \frac{2x - 5}{2\sqrt{x^2 - 5x + 9}}[/tex]

Next, is to minimize (by equating d' to 0)

[tex]\frac{2x - 5}{2\sqrt{x^2 - 5x + 9}} = 0[/tex]

Cross Multiply

[tex]2x - 5 = 0[/tex]

Solve for x

[tex]2x =5[/tex]

[tex]x = \frac{5}{2}[/tex]

Substitute [tex]x = \frac{5}{2}[/tex] in [tex]y = \sqrt x[/tex]

[tex]y = \sqrt{\frac{5}{2}}[/tex]

Split

[tex]y = \frac{\sqrt 5}{\sqrt 2}[/tex]

Rationalize

[tex]y = \frac{\sqrt 5}{\sqrt 2} * \frac{\sqrt 2}{\sqrt 2}[/tex]

[tex]y = \frac{\sqrt {10}}{\sqrt 4}[/tex]

[tex]y = \frac{\sqrt {10}}{2}[/tex]

Hence:

[tex](x,y) = (\frac{5}{2},\frac{\sqrt{10}}{2}})[/tex]

Consider the following pair of equations:

y = −2x + 8
y = x − 1

Explain how you will solve the pair of equations by substitution. Show all the steps and write the solution in (x, y) form.

Answers

Answer:

(3,2)

Step-by-step explanation:

y = -2x + 8

y = x-1

Substitute x-1 for y in the equation y = -2x + 8.  x-1 = -2x + 8

Use the Additive Property to move the

constant terms to one side of the equation.      x-1 = -2x + 8

                                                                                +1           +1

                                                                                  x = -2x + 9

Now do the same to the variable terms.              +2x +2x

                                                                                 3x = 9

Divide both sides of the equation by the

constant in the variable term.                               ÷3 = ÷3

                                                                                   x = 3

To find y, simply substitute the value of x into

one of the original equations.                                 y = x-1

                                                                                   y = 3-1

Solve:                                                                         y = 2

The solution is (3, 2).

The length of a rectangle is five more than triple the width. If the perimeter is 154 inches, what are the dimensions

Answers

Answer:

Width = 18 inches

Length = 59 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

The length of a rectangle is five more than triple the width. If the perimeter is 154 inches, what are the dimensions

Perimeter of a rectangle = 2L + 2W

The length of a rectangle is five more than triple the width.

L = Length = 5 + 3W

W = Width

If the perimeter is 154 inches, what are the dimensions

Hence,

154 = 2L + 2W

154 = 2(5 + 3W ) + 2W

154 = 10 + 6W + 2W

Collect like terms

154 - 10 = 8W

144 = 8W

W = 144/8

W = 18 inches

Length = 5 + 3W

Length = 5 + 3(18)

Length = 5 + 54

Length = 59 inches

For four Fridays in June, Grace earned $21.50, $29.75, $32.00, and $15.25 from babysitting.

In July, she earned $8 more for babysitting four Fridays than she did in June.

What is the increase in the mean for July compared to June?



Round the answer to the nearest penny.

Answers

Answer:

$2

Step-by-step explanation:

Its actually quite simple.

first find the mean for june.

add $21.50 + $29.75 + $32.00 + $15.25

that is equal to 98.5

then divide by 4.

that is 24.625

do not round to the nearest penny yet.

now you need to find the mean for july.

just add $8 to the total amount you made in june to find the total amount you made in july.

that is 106.5

then divide that by four because you worked four fridays in july as well.

that is 26.625.

finally you need to find the difference between 26.625 and 24.625.

26.625-24.625= 2

and ta-da!!!

the answer us $2.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

3x+32−7x=−2(5x+10)

3x+32+−7x=(−2)(5x)+(−2)(10)(Distribute)

3x+32+−7x=−10x+−20

(3x+−7x)+(32)=−10x−20(Combine Like Terms)

−4x+32=−10x−20

−4x+32=−10x−20

Step 2: Add 10x to both sides.

−4x+32+10x=−10x−20+10x

6x+32=−20

Step 3: Subtract 32 from both sides.

6x+32−32=−20−32

6x=−52

Step 4: Divide both sides by 6.

20 POINTS Find the diameter?? Pls help I dont know what to do..

Answers

Answer:

Diameter = 19.33

Step-by-step explanation:

Imaging a radius line from O to the endpoints of the 7. call this line R.

Label the part of the vertical line from O to the 90 degree intersection y.

Now you have a right triangle.

Using the Pythagorean theorem:

R² = 7² + y²

also

y = R - 3

substitute for y:

R² = 49 + (R-3)²

R² = 49 + R² - 6R + 9

simplify:

0 = 58 - 6R

6R = 58

R = 9.6667

Diameter = 2(9.6667) = 19.33

Khaya is delivering groceries to his mother who stays 8km from the shop. How long will it take him to cover this distance if he drives at an average speed of 65km/h? Give your answer rounded to the nearest minute.​

Answers

Answer:

7.385 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Average speed = 65km/hr

The distance covered = 8km

The time taken Given the information above :

Recall:

Speed = distance / time

Time taken = distance / speed

Time taken = 8km / 65km/hr

Time taken = 0.1230769 hr

Time taken = 0.1230769 * 60 = 7.385 minutes

The time taken to cover this distance is 7.3848 minutes

What is speed?

Speed is the change of an object's distance within a specified period of time.

Mathematically, speed can be calculated by using the relation:

Speed = distance/time

From the given information:

The average speed = 65 km/hThe distance = 8 km

From the above formula, we can make the time the subject of the formula:

Speed = distance/time

By cross multiplying

Time = distance/speedTime = 8 km / 65 km/hTime = 0.12308 hour

We all know that:

60 seconds = 1 minute60 minutes = 1 hour

Thus, time(t) = (0.12308 × 60) minutes

Time(t) = 7.3848 minutes
