Find parametric equations for the line through point P(-4,5,2) in the direction of the vector (-6,6,-5)

The vector <em>v</em> (-6, 6, -5) points in the direction of itself, so we start there.

We can capture all points on the line through the origin and the point (-6, 6, -5) by scaling <em>v</em> by an arbitrary real number <em>t</em>.

The line through point <em>P</em> and pointing in the same direction as <em>v</em> is parallel to the other line that passes through the origin. Then the line we want can be obtained by translating the line through the origin by a vector <em>p</em> that points to (-4, 5, 2), so the vector equation for this line is

<em>r </em>(<em>t </em>) = <em>p</em> + <em>t v</em>

<em>r </em>(<em>t </em>) = (-4, 5, 2) + <em>t</em> (-6, 6, -5)

<em>r </em>(<em>t </em>) = (-4 - 6<em>t</em>, 5 + 6<em>t</em>, 2 - 5<em>t</em> )

To get the parametric equations, simply take out the components:

<em>x</em> (<em>t</em> ) = -4 - 6<em>t</em>

<em>y </em>(<em>t</em> ) = 5 + 6<em>t</em>

<em>z</em> (<em>t</em> ) = 2 - 5<em>t</em>

Which proportion can you use to find the value of a?
Ugo [173]

<u>Given</u>:

The given triangle is a similar triangle.

The length of the hypotenuse is 18 units.

The length of the leg is a.

The length of the part of the hypotenuse is 16 units.

We need to determine the proportion used to find the value of a.

<u>Proportion to find the value of a:</u>

We shall find the proportion to determine the value of a using the geometric mean leg rule.

Applying the leg rule, we have;

$\frac{\text { hypotenuse }}{\text { leg }}=\frac{\text { leg }}{\text { part }}$

Substituting the values of hypotenuse, leg and part, we get;

\frac{18}{a}=\frac{a}{16}

Thus, the proportion used to find the value of a is \frac{18}{a}=\frac{a}{16}

Hence, Option D is the correct answer.

Write a function rule that gives the total cost c(p) of pounds of sugar if each pound cost $.59
aliina [53]
Answer: c(p) = 0.59*p

All we do is multiply the price per pound (0.59) by the number of pounds (p). In this case, we don't know how many pounds there are. So we leave p as is. If for instance, we had 10 pounds, then we'd replace p with 10. The variable is simply a placeholder for the unknown number.
