Janet is drawing the path formed by the parametric equations x=2+3 sin t and y=1-1/2cos t. Which curve did she draw??

1 answer:

5 0

Sin²t +cos²t =1

<span> x=2+3 sin t
sin t=(x-2)/3

</span><span>y=1-1/2cos t
y-1= - (cos t)/2
cos t =-(y-1)/(1/2)

</span>(x-2)²/3² + (y-1)²/(1/2)² = 1
Ellipse

What is 380 when it is increased by 18%

Yuri [45]

18%=0.18
380×0.18=68.4 increase
380+68.4=448.4

the easier way is to think 1 times any number is the same number so 380(1+0.18)=448.4 (just like adding tax to the price of something to see how much you'll actually pay)

Find the equation of the line that contains the point (4, - 2) and is perpendicular to the line y = - 2x + 5.

Licemer1 [7]

<h3>Answer:</h3>

y=1/2x

<h3>Solution:</h3>

The slopes of perpendicular lines are opposite reciprocals of each other.
The simplest way to determine a number's reciprocal is to flip it over, like so:
$-2 ~ - > -\displaystyle\frac{1}{2}$
Now, change the sign:
$\displaystyle\frac{1}{2}$
So we have the <em>slope </em>of the line that's <em>perpendicular </em>to the given line.
Now, let's find the line's equation.
First, let's write it in Point-Slope Form:
y-y1=m(x-x1)
y-(-2)=1/2(x-4)
y+2=1/2x-2 (Point slope)
Now, convert to slope-intercept:
y=1/2x+2-2
y=1/2x
