Answers:

  • Part a)  \bf{\sqrt{x^2+(x^2-3)^2}
  • Part b)  3
  • Part c)   2.24
  • Part d)  1.58

============================================================

Work Shown:

Part (a)

The origin is the point (0,0) which we'll make the first point, so let (x1,y1) = (0,0)

The other point is of the form (x,y) where y = x^2-3. So the point can be stated as (x2,y2) = (x,y). We'll replace y with x^2-3

We apply the distance formula to say...

d = \sqrt{(x_1-x_2)^2+(y_1-y_2)^2}\\\\d = \sqrt{(0-x)^2+(0-y)^2}\\\\d = \sqrt{(0-x)^2+(-y)^2}\\\\d = \sqrt{x^2 + y^2}\\\\d = \sqrt{x^2 + (x^2-3)^2}\\\\

We could expand things out and combine like terms, but that's just extra unneeded work in my opinion.

Saying d = \sqrt{x^2 + (x^2-3)^2} is the same as writing d = sqrt(x^2-(x^2-3)^2)

-------------------------------------------

Part (b)

Plug in x = 0 and you should find the following

d(x) = \sqrt{x^2 + (x^2-3)^2}\\\\d(0) = \sqrt{0^2 + (0^2-3)^2}\\\\d(0) = \sqrt{(-3)^2}\\\\d(0) = \sqrt{9}\\\\d(0) = 3\\\\

This says that the point (x,y) = (0,3) is 3 units away from the origin (0,0).

-------------------------------------------

Part (c)

Repeat for x = 1

d(x) = \sqrt{x^2 + (x^2-3)^2}\\\\d(1) = \sqrt{1^2 + (1^2-3)^2}\\\\d(1) = \sqrt{1 + (1-3)^2}\\\\d(1) = \sqrt{1 + (-2)^2}\\\\d(1) = \sqrt{1 + 4}\\\\d(1) = \sqrt{5}\\\\d(1) \approx 2.23606797749979\\\\d(1) \approx 2.24\\\\

-------------------------------------------

Part (d)

Graph the d(x) function found back in part (a)

Use the minimum function on your graphing calculator to find the lowest point such that x > 0.

See the diagram below. I used GeoGebra to make the graph. Desmos probably has a similar feature (but I'm not entirely sure). If you have a TI83 or TI84, then your calculator has the minimum function feature.

The red point of this diagram is what we're after. That point is approximately (1.58, 1.66)

This means the smallest d can get is d = 1.66 and it happens when x = 1.58 approximately.

O 12 units<br> O 15 units<br> O 20 units<br> O 25 units
nadezda [96]

Answer:

12 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Because the two triangles are similar:

\dfrac{x}{9}=\dfrac{16}{x} \\\\\\\dfrac{x^2}{9}=16 \\\\\\x^2=144 \\\\\\x=12

Hope this helps!

Simplify completely x^2+4x-45 / x^2+10x+9
S_A_V [24]

Answer: x - 5/x + 1

Step-by-step explanation:

This algebraic fraction

The task to be performed here is factorisation and simplification. Now going by the question,

x² + 4x - 45/x² + 10x + 9, the factorisation of

x² + 4x - 45 = x² + 9x - 5x - 45

= x(x + 9 ) - 5(x + 9 )

= ( x + 9 )(x - 5 ), don't forget this is the algebraic fraction's Numerator

The second part

x² + 10x + 9 = x² + x + 9x + 9

= x(x + 1) + 9( x + 1 )

= ( x + 9 )( x + 1 ), this is the algebraic denominator.

Now place the second expression which is the denominator under the first expression which is the numerator.

( x + 9 )( x - 5 )/( x + 9 )( x + 1 ).

You can see that, ( x + 9 )/( x + 9 ) divide each other , therefore therr then cancelled and left with

x - 5/x + 1
