y = -3x + 7 is the equation of a line passing through (2, 1) that is parallel to the line passing through (-1,2) and (0, -1)

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Given that, we have to write the equation of a line passing through (2, 1) that is parallel to the line passing through (-1,2) and (0, -1)

Find the slope of line

<em><u>The slope of line is given by formula:</u></em>

m = \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

Here given that line is parallel to the line passing through (-1, 2) and (0, -1)

Therefore,

(x_1, y_1) = (-1, 2)\\\\(x_2, y_2) = (0, -1)

Substituting the values we get,

m = \frac{-1-2}{0-(-1)}\\\\m = \frac{-3}{1}\\\\m = -3

Thus slope of line is -3

We know that, slopes of parallel lines are equal

Therefore, slope of line parallel to the line passing through (-1,2) and (0, -1) is also -3

Now find the equation of line with slope -3 and passing through (2, 1)

<em><u>The equation of line in slope intercept form is given as:</u></em>

y = mx + c ------ eqn 1

Where, "m" is the slope of line and "c" is the y intercept

<em><u>Substitute m = -3 and (x, y) = (2, 1) in eqn 1</u></em>

1 = -3(2) + c

1 = -6 + c

c = 7

<em><u>Substitute m = -3 and c = 7 in eqn 1</u></em>

y = -3x + 7

Thus the equation of line is found

A piece of cardboard measures 10 ft by 10 ft. Four equal squares of size x are removed from the corners. After removing the squa
Gnesinka [82]

Answer:

The value of x would be \frac{5}{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

The dimension of the cardboard = 10 ft by 10 ft,

∵ After removing four equal squares of size x ( in ft ) from the corners,

The dimension of the resultant box would be,

Length = ( 10 - 2x ) ft,

Width = ( 10 - 2x ) ft,

Height = x ft,

The volume of box,

V=(10-2x)\times (10 - 2x)\times x=x(10-2x)^2 = x(100 - 40x + 4x^2)=100x - 40x^2 + 4x^3

Differentiating with respect to x,

V'=100 - 80x + 12x^2

Again differentiating with respect to x,

V''=-80 + 24x

For maxima or minima,

V'=0

\implies 100 - 80x + 12x^2 = 0

\implies 3x^2 - 20x + 25=0

By quadratic formula,

x=\frac{20\pm \sqrt{20^2-4\times 3\times 25}}{6}

x=\frac{20\pm \sqrt{400 - 300}}{6}

x=\frac{20\pm \sqrt{100}}{6}

x=\frac{20\pm 10}{6}

\implies x = \frac{10}{6}=\frac{5}{3}\text{ or } x = 5

For x = 5/3, V'' = negative,

While for x = 5, V'' = Positive,

Hence, the value of x would be 5/3 ft for maximising the volume.

Match each expression in the left column with the correct product in the right column.
lesya692 [45]

Answer:

-6

-6i

6i

6

Step-by-step explanation:

1) √4 . √-3 . √-3

$ \sqrt{4} = 2 $

$ \sqrt{-3} . \sqrt{-3} = (\sqrt{-3})^2 $

$ \sqrt{4} . (\sqrt{-3})^2 = 2 \times -3 = $ -6

2) √-4 . √-3 . √-3

$ \sqrt{-4} = 2i $ .

Therefore, $ \sqrt{-4} . \sqrt{-3} . \sqrt{-3} = 2. \sqrt{-1}  \times -3 = 2i \times (-3) =  $ - 6i

3) √4 . √3 . √-3

$ \sqrt{4} = 2 $

$ \sqrt{3} . \sqrt{-3} = (\sqrt{3})^2 . \sqrt{-1} $

$ \implies 2 \times 3i = $ 6i

4) √4 . √3 . √3

$ \sqrt{4} = 2 $

$ \sqrt{3} . \sqrt{3} = (\sqrt{3})^2  = 3 $

Therefore, √4 . √3 . √3 = 2 . 3 = 6
