Which points on the curve of x^2 - xy - y^2 = 5 have vertical tangent lines?

Answers

Answer 1

We need to differentiate this with respect to x to see if we can find an expression for the derivative of y at various points.  That will be the slope of the tangent to the curve.  Then we want to see where that derivative might be infinite -- i.e., where the tangent is vertical.

 

It's not written as a function, but it can still be differentiated using the chain rule:

 

x2 + xy + y2 = 3

(2x) + (x dy/dx + y dx/dx) + (2y dy/dx) = 0

 

(I used parentheses to show the differentiation of each term in the original equation.)

 

2x + x dy/dx + y + 2y dy/dx = 0

2x + y = -x dy/dx - 2y dy/dx

2x + y = dy/dx (-x -2y)

-(2x + y)/(x + 2y) = dy/dx

 

We have the derivative of y, but it's defined partly in terms of y itself.  That's OK.  Let's go on...

 

So where would the slope be infinite?  That would happen when x + 2y = 0, or y = -x/2

 

Let's plug that in for y in the original equation to find points where that's the case.

 

x2 + xy + y2 = 3

x2 + x(-x/2) + (-x/2)2 = 3

x2 - x2/2 + x2/4 = 3

3x2 / 4 = 3

x2 = 4

x = ±2

 

So we have two x values where the tangent might be vertical.  Let's plug them into the equation and see what the y values are.  First x = 2...

 

x2 + xy + y2 = 3

4 + 2y + y2 = 3

y2 + 2y + 1 = 0

(y + 1)2 = 0

y = -1

 

So at the point (2, -1) the tangent is vertical.

 

Now try x = -2...

 

x2 + xy + y2 = 3

4 - 2y + y2 = 3

y2 - 2y + 1 =0

(y - 1)2 = 0

y = 1

 

So at the point (-2, 1) the tangent is vertical.

Answer:

A. 3x ≤ -6

Step-by-step explanation:

the sentence ‘3x is at most -6

means that the most 3x is allowed to be is -6

it can be -6 or any number less than -6

So, the phrase 3x is at most -6

Answer:

(-3, -4)

Step-by-step explanation:

The x value in (-5, -5) is -5 and y is -5. To find the original position you reverse the translations done to get to the current position. So you add 2 (because you move 2 units right to reverse) to the x value which gives us -3 and add 1 to the y value (because to reverse we move 1 unit up) which gives us the original y value of -4.

The world’s two highest dams are both in Tajikistan. The Rogun dam is 35 meters taller than the Nurek dam. Together they are 635 meters tall. Find the height of the Nurek dam

Answers

Answer: Rogun dam is 335m tall and Nurek dam is 300m tall

Step-by-step explanation:

I will use [tex]r[/tex] to represent the height of the Rogun dam and [tex]n[/tex] to represent the height of the Nurek dam.

The system of equations is as follows:

[tex]r+n=635[/tex]

[tex]r-n=35[/tex]

From the second equation, we can rearange it to be:

[tex]r=35+n[/tex]

Then take this new value of [tex]r[/tex] and plug it into our first equation to find [tex]n[/tex]

[tex](35+n)+n=635[/tex]

[tex]35+2n=635[/tex]

[tex]2n=600[/tex]

[tex]n=300[/tex]

This means that the Nurek dam is 300m tall, and the Rogun dam is 335m tall, found by pluggin the value into our first equation:

[tex]r+300=635[/tex]

[tex]r=335[/tex]

Then all the corresponding parts of the two triangles are congruent, including segments BA and BC, making them the same length.

4x + 1 = 9x - 4

Solving for x,

1 = 5x - 4

5 = 5x

Step-by-step explanation:

We'll start with the slope intercept form of a straight line equation:

y = mx + b, where x is the slope and b the y-intercept.  The slope we are given is 3, so:

y = 3x + b

We need a value of b that will force the line to go through (-3,-1).  Do this by entering that point in the equation and solving for b:

y = -3x + b

-1 = 3(-3) + b

b = 8

Answers

Answer:

A. (-5,4)

Step-by-step explanation:

A reflect on y=4 does not affect point (1,4) since it is on y=4

So a reflect on itself is the same

A reflection of x= -2 is trickier

Since the distance between x=-2 and (1,4) is 3 (I am only counting x-axis the distance between -2 and 1 is 3)

So we have to start at (-2,4) (Since the y-axis, "4" didn't change) and move it 3 points to the left

Which is (-5,4)

Thus A

A line is a one-dimensional shape that is straight, has no thickness, and extends in both directions indefinitely. The equation to represent the nth term of the sequence is y=0.5x+2.

What is the equation of a line?

A line is a one-dimensional shape that is straight, has no thickness, and extends in both directions indefinitely. The equation of a line is given by,

y =mx + c

where,

x is the coordinate of the x-axis,

y is the coordinate of the y-axis,

m is the slope of the line, and

c is the y-intercept.

Let the distance travelled by Susie in any week,x be represented by y.

Given that Susie will run 2 miles in the initial or in the first week. Therefore, the distance for the initial work week will be,

Initial distance =  y-intercept = c = 2

Further, if the daily distance is increased by half a mile each of the following weeks. Therefore, the slope of the equation is the change in the distance, therefore, we can write,

Slope, m = Change in the distance = 0.5

Now, if the equation represents the nth term of the sequence, then we can write,

y = mx + c

y = 0.5x + 2

Hence, the equation to represent the nth term of the sequence is y=0.5x+2.
