If 3x^2 + y^2 = 7 then evaluate d^2y/dx^2 when x = 1 and y = 2. Round your answer to 2 decimal places. Use the hyphen symbol, -,

S_A_V [24]

Taking $y=y(x)$ and differentiating both sides with respect to $x$ yields

$\dfrac{\mathrm d}{\mathrm dx}\bigg[3x^2+y^2\bigg]=\dfrac{\mathrm d}{\mathrm dx}\bigg[7\bigg]\implies 6x+2y\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dx}=0$

Solving for the first derivative, we have

$\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dx}=-\dfrac{3x}y$

Differentiating again gives

$\dfrac{\mathrm d}{\mathrm dx}\bigg[6x+2y\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dx}\bigg]=\dfrac{\mathrm d}{\mathrm dx}\bigg[0\bigg]\implies 6+2\left(\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dx}\right)^2+2y\dfrac{\mathrm d^2y}{\mathrm dx^2}=0$

Solving for the second derivative, we have

$\dfrac{\mathrm d^2y}{\mathrm dx^2}=-\dfrac{3+\left(\frac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dx}\right)^2}y=-\dfrac{3+\frac{9x^2}{y^2}}y=-\dfrac{3y^2+9x^2}{y^3}$

Now, when $x=1$ and $y=2$ , we have

$\dfrac{\mathrm d^2y}{\mathrm dx^2}\bigg|_{x=1,y=2}=-\dfrac{3\cdot2^2+9\cdot1^2}{2^3}=\dfrac{21}8\approx2.63$

19. A $50 bottle of perfume holds 8 ounces. A $110 bottle holds 17 oz. Find the unit price for

jok3333 [9.3K]

50 divided by 8 = 6.25
1oz perfume = $6.25
110 divided by 17 = 6.4705
1oz perfume = $6.4705
Therefore the second option is cheaper

Writing an equation of a probably given the vertex and focus

White raven [17]

The equation of the vertical parabola in vertex form is written as

$y=\frac{1}{4p}(x-h)^2+k$

Where (h, k) are the coordinates of the vertex and p is the focal distance.

The directrix of a parabola is a line which every point of the parabola is equally distant to this line and the focus of the parabola. The vertex is located between the focus and the directrix, therefore, the distance between the y-coordinate of the vertex and the directrix represents the focal distance.

$p=1-6=-5$

Using this value for p and (3, 1) as the vertex, we have our equation

$y=-\frac{1}{20}(x-3)^2+1$

Choose the correct conic section to fit the equation.

yanalaym [24]

Answer:

Option A) Circle.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the equation:

$(x - 3)^2 + (y - 12)^2 = 25$

A general equation of the circle is of the form:

$(x-h)^2 + (y-k)^2 = r^2$

where (h,k) is the center of the circle and r is the radius of circle.

Comparing the two equations, we get,

$(h,k) = (3,12)\\r = \sqrt{25} = 5$

Thus, the given equation is equation of a circle centered at (3,12) and of radius 5 units.
