Answer:

h=6

Step-by-step explanation:

since y =hx -2 is an equation for a line which intersects with the curve 3y^2 = 9x^2 - 6x +1. The point of intersection, let's say (x_1,y_1), should satisfy the two equations. As a result, the value of y in the second equation can be replaced with the value of y in the first equation as the following,

3y^2 = 3(hx-2)^2 = 9x^2 - 6x +1\\3(h^2x^2 -4hx + 4) = 9x^2 - 6x + 1\\3h^2 x^2 -12hx +12 = 9x^2 - 6x +1

therefore, the latter equation can be rewritten in a quadratic equation form as the following,

(9 - 3h^2) x^2 + (12h-6)x + (1-12) = (9 - 3h^2) x^2 + (12h-6)x -11 = 0

if the line is tangent to the curve, it means that the line touches the curve at one point, therefore the discernment of the second order equation will be equal to zero for the famous quadratic equation solution.

b^2 -4ac =0

where a=9-3h^2, b=12h-6 and c=-11, as a result, the following equations can be deduced,

(12h-6)^2 - 4*(9-3h^2)*(-11) = (144h^2 -144h +36) - (36 -12h^2)*(-11)=\\(144-(-12)*(-11)h^2 )  -144h +36 -(36*(-11)) =\\12 h^2 -144h +432 =0

therefore, dividing both sides by 12

h^2 -12 +36 =0\\(h-6)^2 =0\\h=6

Answer:

January has the greater MAD.

Step-by-step explanation:

The MAD of January is 8. You can figure this out by finding the mean of the data (adding them all together then dividing by the number of data points), then finding the distance between each data point and the mean. You then will add all the distances together, then divide by the number of data points. The MAD of July is 2.5. See above for the process.

The length of a rectangle is twice its width. The perimeter of the rectangle is 30 cm. What are the length and width? a) Set up
Helga [31]

Answer:

  • 10 cm and 5 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Set up the variables:

Let <u>x</u> represent the width; Then <u>2x</u> will represent the length.

b) What is the equation that represents the above situation?

<u>Use perimeter formula:</u>

  • P = 2( l + w)

As we set up w = x and l = 2x, and we know that the perimeter is 30 cm, we can build an equation by substituting the values we know or set up:

  • 30 = 2( 2x + x)

c) solve the equation

  • 30 = 2( 2x + x)
  • 30 = 2(3x)
  • 30 = 6x
  • x = 30/6
  • x = 5

d) the length and width are?

  • The width is 5 cm and the length is twice the width, 5*2 = 10 cm
