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

6. Rewrite each of the following expressions without roots by using fractional exponents.
dezoksy [38]

Answer:

A. x¹/²

B. x¹/³

C. x¹/⁷

D. x⁵/²

E. x¹¹/³

F. 1 / x¹/⁴

G. 1 / x²/³

H. 1 / x⁹/²

Step-by-step explanation:

A. √x

Recall

√M = M¹/²

Therefore,

√x = x¹/²

B. ³√x

Recall

ⁿ√M = M¹/ⁿ

Therefore,

³√x = x¹/³

C. ⁷√x

Recall

ⁿ√M = M¹/ⁿ

Therefore,

⁷√x = x¹/⁷

D. √x⁵

Recall

√Mⁿ = Mⁿ/²

Therefore,

√x⁵ = x⁵/²

E. ³√x¹¹

Recall

ⁿ√Mᵃ = Mᵃ/ⁿ

Therefore,

³√x¹¹ = x¹¹/³

F. 1 / ⁴√x

Recall

ⁿ√M = M¹/ⁿ

Therefore,

1 / ⁴√x = 1 / x¹/⁴

G. 1 / ³√x²

Recall

ⁿ√Mᵃ = Mᵃ/ⁿ

Therefore,

1 / ³√x² = 1 / x²/³

H. 1 / √x⁹

Recall

√Mⁿ = Mⁿ/²

Therefore,

1 / √x⁹ = 1 / x⁹/²
