Answer:

k = -8c.

Step-by-step explanation:

y^2 = kx

Find the slope of the tangent by differentiating:

y' 2y = k

y' = k / 2y = the slope of the tangent.

The given equation of the tangent is y = -2x + c so the slope = -2.

Therefore  k/2y =  -2  so k = -4y and y = -k/4

y^2 = kx so k^2/16 = kx giving x = k/16.

Substituting for x and y in y = -2x + c:

-k/4 = -2 k/16 + c

-k/4 = -k/8  + c

c = -k/4 + k/8 = -k/8.

So -k = 8c

k = -8c.

You unfold chicken wire to make a circular pen. The area of the pen is 78.5 square meters. How many meters of chicken wire do yo
Lelu [443]
Circular pen means you are going to use Area = Pi(r^2). 

So 78.5 = pi(r^2). Divide by pi on both sides to get r^2 = 78.5/pi. Take the square root of that to get r or radius = approximately 4.99. If you need an exact answer then use \sqrt{ \frac{78.5}{ \pi } } for the next part because you are not done yet.

Plug whatever R you use into the circumference formula of Circumference = 2(pi)(r).

If you use 4.99, you do 2(pi)(4.99) which is approximately 31.35. If you use the exact answer, you do 2(pi)(\sqrt{ \frac{78.5}{ \pi} }) which gives you approximately 31.41. 

Either way you'll need about 31 meters of chicken wire but the 31.40796 or ~31.41 is closer to the exact answer.
