Given the points are A(3, 2) and B(6, 4).

If it is asking about the slope of the line AB, then we can use the slope formula as given by :-

$Slope, \;m = \frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}$

where (x₁, y₁) = A(3, 2) and (x₂, y₂) = B(6, 4)

$m = \frac{4-2}{6-3} =\frac{2}{3}$

Hence, m = 2/3 would be slope of the line AB.

If it is asking about the y-intercept of the line AB, then we can use slope-intercept form as given by :-

y = mx + b

where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

we can plug the value of m = 2/3 and point A(3, 2) into the equation and solve for b.

$2=(\frac{2}{3} )(3) +b \\\\ 2 = 2 + b \\\\ b = 0$

Hence, b = 0 would be y-intercept of the line AB.

If it is asking for the equation of the line AB, then we can use slope-intercept form and put values of m = 2/3 and b = 0.

y = mx + b

$y=\frac{2}{3} x+0 \\\\ y=\frac{2}{3} x \;\; or\;\; 3y=2x$

Hence, $y=\frac{2}{3} x \;\;
or\;\; 3y=2x$ would be equation of the line AB.

I don't know what 'which of the following' is referring to, but the line has a positive slope, goes through the origin, and has a slope of 2/3.

Peter has 3200 yards of fencing to enclose a rectangular area. Find the dimensions of the rectangle that maximize the enclosed a

salantis [7]

Answer:

$A = 640000\,yd^{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Expression for the rectangular area and perimeter are, respectively:

$A (x,y) = x\cdot y$

$3200\,yd = 2\cdot (x+y)$

After some algebraic manipulation, area expression can be reduce to an one-variable form:

$y = 1600 -x$

$A (x) = x\cdot (1600-x)$

The first derivative of the previous equation is:

$\frac{dA}{dx}= 1600-2\cdot x$

Let the expression be equalized to zero:

$1600-2\cdot x=0$

$x = 800$

The second derivative is:

$\frac{d^{2}A}{dx^{2}} = -2$

According to the Second Derivative Test, the critical value found in previous steps is a maximum. Then:

$y = 800$

The maximum area is:

$A = (800\,yd)\cdot (800\,yd)$

$A = 640000\,yd^{2}$

Juli2301 [7.4K]

$i)~9x^2-\dfrac{1}{16}=0\iff9x^2=\dfrac{1}{16}\iff x^2=\dfrac{1}{9\cdot16}\iff \\\\x^2=\dfrac{1}{144}\iff x=\pm\sqrt{\dfrac{1}{144}}=\pm\dfrac{1}{12}\Longrightarrow\boxed{x=\pm\dfrac{1}{12}}$

$ii)~2h^2-3h-27=0\\\\\Delta=b^2-4ac\to \Delta=(-3)^2-4\cdot2\cdot(-27)\to\Delta=9+216=225\\\\
\Longrightarrow h=\dfrac{-b\pm\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\dfrac{-(-3)\pm\sqrt{225}}{2\cdot2}=\dfrac{3\pm15}{4}\\\\\begin{cases}h_1=\dfrac{3+15}{4}=\dfrac{18}{4}\iff \boxed{h_1=\dfrac{9}{2}}\\h_2=\dfrac{3-15}{4}=\dfrac{-12}{4}\iff\boxed{h_2=-3}\end{cases}$
