Two lines that are parallel have the same slope. Thus, the slope of the given line is 2 and the slope of the new line is also 2.

General slope-intercept equation of a str. line is y = mx + b.

Let m = 2: y = 2x + b
This new line passes thru (3,11). Thus, subst. 3 for x and 11 for y in
y = 2x + b, to find b:

11 = 2(3)+b
11 = 6 + b so b=5

Thus, the equation of the new line, parallel to the old, is y = 2x + 5.

A particle moves along the x-axis so that at time t ≥ 0 its position is given by x(t) = 2t3 - 21t2 + 72t - 53. At what time t is

Zepler [3.9K]

Step-by-step explanation:

The particle is at rest when the derivative of x(t), which is its velocity, is zero, i.e.,

$\dfrac{d}{dt}[x(t)] = \dot{x}(t) = 0$
