137.5 I took the test and got 100%
Answer:
No, but i would like to know who they are
Step-by-step explanation:
The line y = x + 3 has slope 1, so we look for points on the curve where the tangent line, whose slope is dy/dx, is equal to 1.
y² = x
Take the derivative of both sides with respect to x, assuming y = y(x) :
2y dy/dx = 1
dy/dx = 1/(2y)
Solve for y when dy/dx = 1 :
1 = 1/(2y)
2y = 1
y = 1/2
When y = 1/2, we have x = y² = (1/2)² = 1/4. However, for the given line, when y = 1/2, we have x = y - 3 = 1/2 - 3 = -5/2.
This means the line y = x + 3 is not a tangent to the curve y² = x. In fact, the line never even touches y² = x :
x = y² ⇒ y = y² + 3 ⇒ y² - y + 3 = 0
has no real solution for y.
Answer: x = 4; x = 5
Step-by-step explanation:
The directions specify to solve by factoring
x^2 - 9x + 20 = 0
To factor, find two numbers that add to -9 and multiply to 20
-5 and -4 work
-5 + (-4) = -9
-5 * -4 = 20
(x - 4)(x - 5) = 0
x = 4, x =5
