Difference:

x values

260 + 620 = 880

y values

480 + 180 = 660

Gradient = change in y/ change in x

Or

gradient = rise/run

= 660/880

= 3/4

= 0.75

We've got a negative slope - gradient must be negative

y = mx + c

y = - 0.75x + c

To find the y-intercept (c), which on the diagram is point B - you substitute one of the coordinates into the equation y = - 0.75x + c.

You use - point A or D - it don't matter which

I'll pick D - (620,−180)

y= -0.75x + c

-180 = - 0.75 x 620 + c

-180 = - 465 + c

+465

285= c

Thus, the equation is:

y = - 0.75x + 285

or

y = - 3/4x + 285

Where point B is (0,285) and C is (380,0)

To find:

B substitute x = 0 into the equation

(y= - 3/4 x 0 + 285)

C substitute y = 0 in the equation

0 = - 3/4x + 285

-285

- 285 = - 0.75x

÷ - 0.75

380 = x

( I converted 3/4 to 0.75 to make things clearer)

Hope this helps!

Answer:

B (0, 285 ) , C (380, 0 )

Step-by-step explanation:

the first step is to obtain the equation of the line in slope- intercept form

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

calculate m using the slope formula

m = \frac{y_{2}-y_{1}  }{x_{2}-x_{1}  }

with (x₁, y₁ ) = A(- 260, 480 ) and (x₂, y₂ ) = D (620, - 180 )

m = \frac{-180-480}{620-(-260)} = \frac{-660}{620+260} = \frac{-660}{880} = - \frac{66}{88} = - 0.75 , then

y = - 0.75x + c ← is the partial equation

to find c substitute either of the 2 points into the partial equatio

using (620, - 180 ) , then

- 180 = - 465 + c ⇒ c = - 180 + 465 = 285

So y- intercept is B (0, 285 )

y = - 0.75x + 285 ← equation of line

to find the x- intercept , let y = 0 in the equation and solve for x

0 = - 0.75 + 285 ( subtract 285 from both sides )

- 285 = - 0.75x ( divide both sides by - 0.75 )

380 = x

x- intercept is C (380, 0 )

Find the distance between the two points rounding to the nearest tenth (if necessary).
leonid [27]

Answer:

\boxed {\boxed {\sf d\approx 4.2}}

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for distance is:

d=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2

Where (x₁, y) and (x₂, y₂) are the points.

We are given (-6, 6) and (-3, 3). If we match the value and its corresponding variable, we see that:

  • x₁= -6
  • y₁ = 6
  • x₂ = -3
  • y₂ = 3

Substitute the values into the formula.

d= \sqrt{ (-3 - -6)^2+(3-6)^2

Solve inside the parentheses.

  • -3 --6 = -3+6 = 3
  • 3-6 = -3

d= \sqrt{(3)^2+ (-3)^2

Solve the exponents.

  • (3)²= 3*3= 9
  • (-3)²= -3*-3 =9

d= \sqrt{9+9

Add.

d= \sqrt18

d= 4.24264069

Round to the nearest tenth. The 4 in the hundredth place tells us to leave the 2 in the tenth place.

d \approx 4.2

The distance between the two points is apprximately <u>4.2</u>

G(x)=(cosθsinθ)^4 what's the differential
natulia [17]

Answer:

sin²2θ. (cos θ sin θ). cos 2θ

Step-by-step explanation:

finding g'(x)

g'(x)

  • (x^n)' = nx^(n -1)

= 4 (cosθsinθ)³ . { cosθ. (sinθ)' + sinθ. (cosθ)' }

  • (cosθ)' = - sinθ
  • (sinθ)' = cosθ

= 4 (cosθsinθ)³ { cosθ. cos θ + sinθ.(-sin θ)}

= 4 (cosθsinθ)³{ cos²θ - sin²θ}

  • cos²θ - sin²θ = cos 2θ
  • 2sinθ cosθ = sin 2θ

= (4 cosθ sinθ)². (cosθ sinθ). { cos²θ - sin²θ}

= <u>sin²2θ. (cos θ sin θ). cos 2θ</u>
