For what values of θ on the polar curve r=θ, with 0≤θ≤2π , are the tangent lines horizontal? Vertical?

Given that r=\theta, then r'=1

The slope of a tangent line in the polar coordinate is given by:

m= \frac{r'\sin\theta+r\cos\theta}{r'\cos\theta-r\sin\theta}

Thus, we have:

m= \frac{\sin\theta+\theta\cos\theta}{\cos\theta-\theta\sin\theta}



Part A:

For horizontal tangent lines, m = 0.

Thus, we have:

\sin\theta+\theta\cos\theta=0 \\  \\ \theta\cos\theta=-\sin\theta \\  \\ \theta=- \frac{\sin\theta}{\cos\theta} =-\tan\theta

Therefore, the <span>values of θ on the polar curve r = θ, with 0 ≤ θ ≤ 2π, such that the tangent lines are horizontal are:

</span><span>θ = 0

</span>θ = <span>2.02875783811043
</span>
θ = <span>4.91318043943488



Part B:

For vertical tangent lines, \frac{1}{m} =0

Thus, we have:

\cos\theta-\theta\sin\theta=0 \\  \\ \Rightarrow\theta\sin\theta=\cos\theta \\  \\ \Rightarrow\theta= \frac{\cos\theta}{\sin\theta} =\sec\theta

</span>Therefore, the <span>values of θ on the polar curve r = θ, with 0 ≤ θ ≤ 2π, such that the tangent lines are vertical are:

</span>θ = <span>4.91718592528713</span>

write an equation in slope intercept form of a line that passes through the point (14,8) and is (a) parallel (b) perpendicular t
LenKa [72]

Slope-intercept form:

y = mx + b       "m" is the slope, "b" is the y-intercept (the y value when x = 0)


First find the slope of the line that passes through (4,9) and (-3,6).

Use the slope formula and plug in the two points:

m=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}

m=\frac{6-9}{-3-4}

m=\frac{-3}{-7} =\frac{3}{7}



A.) For lines to be parallel, their slopes have to be the same.

Since the given line's slope is 3/7, the parallel line's slope is also 3/7


y = 3/7x + b    To find "b", plug in the point (14,8) into the equation

8 = 3/7(14) + b

8 = 42/7 + b

8 = 6 + b    Subtract 6 on both sides

2 = b


y=\frac{3}{7}x+2



B.) For lines to be perpendicular, their slopes have to be the opposite/negative reciprocal (flipped sign and number)

For example:

slope is 3

perpendicular line's slope is -1/3

slope is -2/3

perpendicular line's slope is 3/2


Since the given line's slope is 3/7, the perpendicular line's slope is -7/3

y = -7/3x + b    Plug in (14, 8) to find "b"

8 = -7/3(14) + b

8 = -98/3 + b   Add 98/3 on both sides

8 + 98/3 = b       Make the denominators the same

24/3 + 98/3 = b

122/3 = b


y=-\frac{7}{3}x+\frac{122}{3}

Answer: there are three of the holidays

Step-by-step explanation:

The prime numbers through 31 include 2,3,5,7,11,13,17,19,23,29,31,and 37 so therefore three of the holidays (Martin Luther, Easter, and Thanksgiving) fall on days that are prime numbers

Express as a trinomial (3x+8) (x+10)
docker41 [41]

Answer:

3x^{2} +38x+80

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

A trinomial is a expression consisting of three different terms

To turn this into a trinomial we multiply everything to each other

<u>                     3x                     </u>

3x * x = 3x^{2}

3x * 10 = 30x

<u>                     8                      </u>

8 * x = 8x

8 * 10 = 80

Now we put them all together in an equation

3x^{2} +30x+8x+80

Combine like terms

3x^{2} +38x+80

The answer is 3x^{2} +38x+80

Hope this helps!
