The closest point is (3.5, 1.9) and the distance is 1.96 units

<h3>How to determine the point and the distance?</h3>

The coordinate is given as:

(4, 0)

The equation of the function is

y = √x

The distance between two points is calculated using

d = √(x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2

So, we have the following points

(x1, y1) = (4, 0) and (x2, y2) = (x, 0)

This gives

d = √(x - 4)^2 + (√x - 0)^2

Evaluate the difference

d = √(x - 4)^2 + (√x)^2

Evaluate the exponent

d = √x^2 - 8x + 16 + x

Evaluate the like terms

d = √x^2 - 7x + 16

Next, we differentiate using a graphing calculator

d' = (2x - 7)/[2√(x^2 - 7x + 16)]

Set to 0

(2x - 7)/[2√(x^2 - 7x + 16)] = 0

Cross multiply

2x - 7 = 0

Add 7 to both sides

2x = 7

Divide by 2

x = 3.5

So, we have:

Substitute x = 3.5 in y = √x

y = √3.5

Evaluate

y = 1.9

So, the point is (3.5, 1.9)

The distance is then calculated as:

d = √(x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2

This gives

d = √(3.5 - 4)^2 + (1.9 - 0)^2

Evaluate

d = 1.96

Hence, the closest point is (3.5, 1.9) and the distance is 1.96 units

Answer:

The formula for calculating the width of the window is

w=\frac{-(-3)(+/-)\sqrt{-3^{2}-4(1)(2)}} {2(1)}

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em>The question in English is</em></u>

A rectangular window is l meters wide and h meters high, with a perimeter of 6 meters and an area of 2m². What is the formula for calculating the width of the window?

we know that

The perimeter of the window is equal to

P=2(l+w)

we have

P=6\ m

so

6=2(l+w)

simplify

3=(l+w)

isolate the variable l

l=3-w ----> equation A

The area of the window is equal to

A=lw

we have

A=2\ m^2

so

2=lw ----> equation B

substitute equation A in equation B

2=(3-w)w

solve for w

2=3w-w^2

w^2-3w+2=0

The formula to solve a quadratic equation of the form

ax^{2} +bx+c=0

is equal to

x=\frac{-b(+/-)\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}} {2a}

in this problem we have

w^2-3w+2=0

so

a=1\\b=-3\\c=2

substitute in the formula

w=\frac{-(-3)(+/-)\sqrt{-3^{2}-4(1)(2)}} {2(1)}  --->  formula for calculating the width of the window

w=\frac{3(+/-)\sqrt{1}} {2}

w=\frac{3(+/-)1} {2}

w=\frac{3(+)1} {2}=2\ m

w=\frac{3(-)1} {2}=1\ m

How are patterns used to solve a problem?
omeli [17]
It can be variety of problems but a x and y plot would be ideal demonstration as you need to make a hypothesis of what you think the pattern for it is then use it for each x and y problem through put the plot

Solve r=4/3(p-q) for p
lesya [120]

Answer:

q+3/4r=p

Step-by-step explanation:

r=4/3(p-q)

Distribute the 4/3

r=4/3p-4/3q

Add 4/3q to each side

4/3q+r=4/3p

Multiply ALL variables by 3/4 (undoes the 4/3)

q+3/4r=p
