Check the picture below.

$\bf ~~~~~~~~~~~~\textit{distance between 2 points}
\\\\
\begin{array}{ccccccccc}
&&x_1&&y_1&&x_2&&y_2\\
% (a,b)
&&(~ 1 &,& 4~) 
% (c,d)
&&(~ 6 &,& 1~)
\end{array}~~~ 
% distance value
d = \sqrt{( x_2- x_1)^2 + ( y_2- y_1)^2}
\\\\\\
d=\sqrt{(6-1)^2+(1-4)^2}\implies d=\sqrt{5^2+(-3)^2}
\\\\\\
d=\sqrt{25+9}\implies d=\sqrt{34}$

Find parametric equations for the tangent line to the curve with the given parametric equations at the specified point. x = e^−2

Mekhanik [1.2K]

Answer:

x=1

y=s

z=1

Step-by-step explanation:

(x, y, z)=(1, 0, 1)

Substitute 0 for y

$y = e^{-2t} *sin 4t\\0 = e^{-2t} *sin 4t\\\\0 = e^{-2t} *(\frac{e^{4t}-e^{-4t}}{2j} )\\0 = e^{-2t} *(e^{4t}-e^{-4t} )\\0 = e^{-2t} *e^{4t}*(1-e^{-8t} )\\\\0 = e^{2t}*(1-e^{-8t} )\\\\\\Either \\0 = e^{2t}\\t = -inf\\or\\0 = (1-e^{-8t} )\\(e^{-8t} ) = 1\\ -8t = ln(1) =0\\t=0\\\\$

Confirming if t=0 satisfy the other equation

x = e^−2t cos 4t = e^−2(0)cos(4*0)

= e^(0)cos(0) = 1

z = e^−2t = e^−2(0) = 0

Therefore t=0 satisfies the other equation

Finding the tangent vector at t=0

$\frac{dx}{dt}=-2te^{-2t} cos4t + e^{-2t}(-4sin4t)=-2(0)e^{-2(0)} cos4(0) + e^{-2(0)}(-4sin4(0))=0\\\\ \frac{dy}{dt} =-2te^{-2t} sin4t + e^{-2t}(4cos4t)=-2(0)e^{-2(0)} sin4(0)+ e^{-2(0)(4cos4(0)) }= 1\\\\\frac{dz}{dt} = -2te^{-2t} = -2(0)e^{-2(0)} = 0$

The vector equation of the tangent line is

(1, 0, 1) +s(0,1,0)= (1, s, 1)

The parametric equations are:

x=1

y=s

z=1

Triangles and angles<br> Pls help

AleksandrR [38]

Answer:

The two bottom angles of this triangle are both represented by the same variable, in this case, an x. This means, that both of the bottom angles are equal to each other.

So we have:

32 + x + x = 180 (since the TOTAL angles of a triangle adds up to 180)

32 + 2x = 180 (combine the 2 x's together)

2x = 148 (subtract a 32 from both sides)

x = 74

Let me know if this helps!
