Answer:

The answer is

$\huge \boxed{y = 3x - 10}$

Step-by-step explanation:

To find an equation of a line given the slope and a point we use the formula

$y - y_1 = m(x - x_1)$

where

m is the slope

( x1 , y1) is the point

From the question the point is (2, 4) and the slope is 3

The equation of the line is

$y - 4 = 3(x - 2) \\ y + 4 = 3x - 6 \\ y = 3x - 6 - 4$

We have the final answer as

$y = 3x - 10$

Use lagrange multipliers to find the maximum volume of a rectangular box that is inscribed in a sphere of radius r

vesna_86 [32]

For the derivative tests method, assume that the sphere is centered at the origin, and consider the circular projection of the sphere onto the xy-plane. An inscribed rectangular box is uniquely determined

by the xy-coordinate of its corner in the first octant, so we can compute the z coordinate of this corner by

x2+y2+z2=r2 =⇒z= r2−(x2+y2). Then the volume of a box with this coordinate for the corner is given by

V = (2x)(2y)(2z) = 8xy r2 − (x2 + y2),

and we need only maximize this on the domain x2 + y2 ≤ r2. Notice that the volume is zero on the boundary of this domain, so we need only consider critical points contained inside the domain in order to carry this optimization out.

For the method of Lagrange multipliers, we optimize V(x,y,z) = 8xyz subject to the constraint x2 + y2 + z2 = r2<span>. </span>

What is the center of the circle that you can circumscribe about a triangle with vertices A(2, 6), B(2, 0), and C(10, 0)?

denis23 [38]

The three points A,B,C are all points on this circle.
Each point is then equal distance from the center, that distance being the radius of the circle.
Using the distance formula, we can find the center of the circle (x,y):
$d^2 = (x-x_0)^2 + (y-y_0)^2$
Plugging in points A and B into distance formula, then setting them equal to each other gives:
$(x-2)^2+(y-6)^2 = (x-2)^2 + y^2$
Right away we can cancel out the x terms leaving:
$(y-6)^2 = y^2$
Expand Left side and Solve for y:
$y^2 -12y +36 = y^2$
$y = 3$
Plug in points B and C as before:
$(x-2)^2 + y^2 = (x-10)^2 + y^2$
Here we can cancel the y-terms.
Expand and solve for x:
$x^2 -4x+4 = x^2 -20x+100$
$16x = 96$
$x = 6$
Therefore the center of the circle is the point (6,3)
