Answer:

4\sqrt{17}

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's find the answer by using the arc length formula which is:

\int\limits^a_b {\sqrt{1+(\frac{dy}{dx})^{2} } } \, dx

First, let's find dy/dx which is:

y=4x-5

y'=4*(1)-0

y'=4, now let's use the formula:

\int\limits^3_{-1} {\sqrt{1+4^{2}} } \, dx=\sqrt{17} *(3-(-1))=4\sqrt{17}

Now, using the distance formula we have:

d=\sqrt{(x2-x1)^{2} +(y2-y1)^{2} }

y(-1)=4*(-1)-5=-9 \\y(3)=4*(3)-5=7

So we have two points (-1, -9) and (3, 7) so:

d=\sqrt{(3-(-1))^{2} +(7-(-9))^{2} }=4\sqrt{17}

Notice both equations gave the same length 4\sqrt{17}.

R/10+4=5 Can you help me balance the equation to simply? Thanks!
Dominik [7]

Subtract 4 from both sides

R/10 = 5 - 4

Simplify 5 - 4 to 1

R/10 = 1

Multiply both sides by 10

R = 1 × 10

Simplify 1 × 10 to 10

<u>R = 10</u>
