Answer:

B. $x=4$

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given coordinate of a point (4,7). We are asked to find the equation of the line that has an undefined slope and passes through the given point.

We know that slope of a vertical line is undefined. So the vertical line passing through point (4,7) will have an undefined slope.

The slope of line will be undefined when x-coordinates of all points on the line are equal.

Since the line $x=4$ will have same x-coordinates for all y-coordinates, therefore, option B is the correct choice.

Learn this...it really helps

VUX : vertical line, undefined slope, represented by x = a number
HOY : horizontal line, 0 slope, represented by y = a number

so we need an undefined slope.....that means it is a vertical line.....it is represented by x = a number......and that number is the one in the x position...so ur equation is : x = 4 (because (4,7)...the x digit is 4

$f(x,y)=x^4+y^4-4xy+1$

has critical points wherever the partial derivatives vanish:

$f_x=4x^3-4y=0\implies x^3=y$

$f_y=4y^3-4x=0\implies y^3=x$

Then

$x^3=y\implies x^9=x\implies x(x^8-1)=0\implies x=0\text{ or }x=\pm1$

If $x=0$ , then $y=0$ ; critical point at (0, 0)
If $x=1$ , then $y=1$ ; critical point at (1, 1)
If $x=-1$ , then $y=-1$ ; critical point at (-1, -1)

$f(x,y)$ has Hessian matrix

$H(x,y)=\begin{bmatrix}12x^2&-4\\-4&12y^2\end{bmatrix}$

with determinant

$\det H(x,y)=144x^2y^2-16$

At (0, 0), the Hessian determinant is -16, which indicates a saddle point.
At (1, 1), the determinant is 128, and $f_{xx}(1,1)=12$ , which indicates a local minimum.
At (-1, -1), the determinant is again 128, and $f_{xx}(-1,-1)=12$ , which indicates another local minimum.

In the figure above, quadrilateral ABCD is a parallelogram. Let x represent the measure of angle GBF, y represent the measure of

ira [324]

Answers:
measure angle x = 40°
measure angle y = 35°
measure angle z = 55°

Explanation:
Part (a): getting angle x:
In triangle BED, we have:
measure angle BED = 90°
measure angle BDE = 50°
Therefore:
measure angle DBE = 180 - (90+50) = 40°
Now, we have angle DBE and angle GBF vertically opposite angles.
This means that they are both equal. Therefore angle GBF = 40°
Since angle GBF is x, therefore:
x = 40°

Part (b): getting angle y:
We know that the sum of measures of angles on a straight line is 180.
This means that:
angle GBF + angle GBC + angle CBE = 180
We have:
angle GBF = 40°
angle GBC = 105°
angle CBE = y
Therefore:
40 + 105 + y = 180
y = 35°

Part (c): getting angle z:
In triangle BCE, we have:
measure angle BCE = z
measure angle BEC = 90°
measure angle CBE = 35°
Therefore:
z + 90 + 35 = 180
z = 55°

Hope this helps :)
