Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:W = L - 7

WL = 78

(L-7)L = 78

L^2 - 7L - 78 = 0

Factorize: (L-13)(L+6) = 0

L = 13 or -6

A length cannot be negative, so the length must be 13 miles.

The width is 13-7 = 6 miles.

For what values of theta (0 less than or equal to theta less than or equal to 2pi) do maximum r values occur on the graph the po

9966 [12]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the values of the angle which makes maximum r you use the derivative of r

$\frac{dr}{d\theta}=\frac{1}{3}sin(3\theta)$

If you equals this derivative to zero you obtain the value of the angle:

$\frac{dr}{d\theta}=0\\\\cos3\theta=0\\\\3\theta=\frac{\pi}{2}\\\\\theta=\frac{\pi}{6}$

However, the values of 5π/6 and 9π/6 are also available, because makes the sinusoidal function equal to 1.

hence, the answer is:

$\theta_1=\frac{\pi}{6} \\\\\theta_2=\frac{5\pi}{6}\\\\\theta_3=\frac{9\pi}{6}=\frac{3\pi}{2}$

A straight line with the equation y=ax-3 goes through the point (2,11). Work out the value of a

Rzqust [24]

The value a is 7.

<h3>What is Straight Line?</h3>

A line is simply an object in geometry that is characterized under zero width object that extends on both sides. A straight line is just a line with no curves.

Here, the given equation of line

y = ax -3

line passing through point (2, 11), then

11 = a X 2 - 3

11 + 3 = 2a

2a = 14

a = 7

Thus, the value a is 7.
