When a situation can be modeled by a linear equation, what information do you need in order to find an equation?

1 answer:

8 0

The standard equation of a line is given by:
y = mx + b
Where,
m: slope of the line
b: intersection with the y axis.
To define the linear function you need to know the value of the constants m and b
Answer:
You need in order to find an equation:
Slope of the line
Cutting point with the y axis

A 12 foot ladder is leaning against a building. If the bottom of the ladder is sliding along the pavement directly away from the

ira [324]

Using Pythagoras theorem, the top of the ladder moving down when the foot of the ladder is 3 feet from the wall is of -0.518 feet/sec.

Let distance from the wall to the foot of the ladder is 'x' feet and the height of the top of the ladder is 'y' feet.

Pythagoras theorem, $x^{2} + y^{2} = (12)^{2}$ --->(1)

Given, $\frac{dx}{dt}= 2feet/second$ at x=3

Put x=3 in Pythagoras theorem equation (1)

$(3)^{2} + y^{2} = 144$

$y^{2} = 144 - 9$

$y^{2}$ = 135

y = 11.61

Derive equation (1) w.r.t to 't'

$2x\frac{dx}{dt} + 2y\frac{dy}{dt} = 0$ ---->(2)

substitute the value of 'x', 'dx/dt' and 'y' in equation (2), we get the fast of the top of the ladder moving down when the foot of the ladder is 3 feet from the wall

$2(3)(2) + 2 (11.61)\frac{dy}{dt} = 0$

12 + 23.22 $\frac{dy}{dt}$ = 0

$\frac{dy}{dt}= \frac{-12}{23.22}$

$\frac{dy}{dt} = -0.518$

Hence, using Pythagoras theorem the top of the ladder moving down when the foot of the ladder is 3 feet from the wall is of -0.518 feet/sec.

How do you add vectors? Add the vector <3,4> to the vector that goes 7 units at an angle of 2π/3.

lawyer [7]

Answer:

The sum of the two vectors is the vector <-0.5 , 4+3.5 $\sqrt{3}$ >

Step-by-step explanation:

The horizontal component (x) of a vector whose magnitude is b units and its direction is Ф° is b cos Ф

The vertical component (y) of a vector whose magnitude is b and its direction is Ф is b sin Ф

The vector is <b cos Ф , b sin Ф>

∵ The vector goes 7 units at an angle $\frac{2\pi }{3}$

- That means its magnitude is 7 and its direction is $\frac{2\pi }{3}$

∴ x = 7 cos( $\frac{2\pi }{3}$ )

∴ y = 7 sin( $\frac{2\pi }{3}$ )

∵ cos( $\frac{2\pi }{3}$ ) = $-\frac{1}{2}$

∵ sin( $\frac{2\pi }{3}$ ) = $\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$

- Substitute them in x and y

∴ x = (7)( $-\frac{1}{2}$ )

∴ x = -3.5

∴ y = (7)( $\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$ )

∴ y = 3.5 $\sqrt{3}$

∴ The vector is <-3.5 , 3.5 $\sqrt{3}$ >

Now lets add the vectors by adding xs and ys components

∵ <3 , 4> + <-3.5 , 3.5 $\sqrt{3}$ > = <3 + -3.5 , 4 + 3.5 $\sqrt{3}$ >

∴ <3 , 4> + <-3.5 , 3.5 $\sqrt{3}$ > = <-0.5 , 4+3.5 $\sqrt{3}$ >

∴ The sum of the two vectors is the vector <-0.5 , 4+3.5 $\sqrt{3}$ >

HELP! Whoever gets it right gets brainliest!!

aleksandrvk [35]

Answer:

D infitently Many

Step-by-step explanation:

A system of linear equations usually has a single solution, but sometimes it can have no solution (parallel lines) or infinite solutions (same line). This article reviews all three cases. One solution. A system of linear equations has one solution when the graphs intersect at a point.
