Answer:
b = 15.75
Step-by-step explanation:
Lets find the interception points of the curves
36 x² = 25
x² = 25/36 = 0.69444
|x| = √(25/36) = 5/6
thus the interception points are 5/6 and -5/6. By evaluating in 0, we can conclude that the curve y=25 is above the other curve and b should be between 0 and 25 (note that 0 is the smallest value of 36 x²).
The area of the bounded region is given by the integral
The whole region has an area of 250/9. We need b such as the area of the region below the curve y =b and above y=36x^2 is 125/9. The region would be bounded by the points z and -z, for certain z (this is for the symmetry). Also for the symmetry, this region can be splitted into 2 regions with equal area: between -z and 0, and between 0 and z. The area between 0 and z should be 125/18. Note that 36 z² = b, then z = √b/6.
125/18 = b^{1.5}/9
b = (62.5²)^{1/3} = 15.75
1)We have to make a line perpendicular to y=2x+3, passing through the point (0,0).
y=2x+3
m=solpe=2
The slope of the line perpedicular to y=2x+3 is m´
m´=-1/m
m´=-1/2
Point slope form:
y-y₀=m(x-x₀)
(0,0)
m=-1/2
y-0=-1/2(x-0)
y=-x/2
Therefore, the line perpendicular to y=2x+3 is y=-x/2.
2)The point on the line y=2x+3 tha is closest to the origin is the point of intersection of the two lines.
y=2x+3
y=-x/2
We can solve this system of equations by equalization method.
2x+3=-x/2
least common multiple=2
4x+6=-x
4x+x=-6
5x=-6
x=-6/5 (=-1.2)
y=-x/2
y=-(-6/5)/2=6/10=3/5 (=0,6)
Therefore: the point of the line y=2x+3 that is closest to the origin is:
(-1.2 , 0.6)
y=2x+3
