Answer:

The equation representing the new path is;

y = \dfrac{1}{3} \cdot x + 7

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of the first walking park across the park is y = -3·x - 3

By comparison to the equation of a straight line, y = m·x + c, where m = the slope of the line, the slope of the line y = -3·x - 3  is -3

The park's new walking path direction = Perpendicular to first walking path

A line perpendicular to a line of  (as example) y = m₁·x + c has a slope of -1/m

∴ The park's new walking path slope = -1/(Slope of first path) = -1/(-3) = 1/3

The point the paths will intersect = (-3, 6)

The equation of the line is found by recalling that Slope, \, m_1 =\dfrac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}

Where:

y₂ and x₂ are coordinates of a point on the new walking path

y₁ and x₁ are coordinates of a point on the new walking path intersecting the first walking path

Given that (-3, 6) is the intersection of the two walking paths, therefore, it is a point on the new walking path and we can say x₁ = -3, y₁ = 6

Therefore, we have;

Slope, \, m_1 =\dfrac{y_{2}-6}{x_{2}-(-3)} = \dfrac{y_{2}-6}{x_{2}+3} =\dfrac{1}{3}

Which gives;

(y₂ - 6) × 3 = x₂ + 3

y₂ - 6 = (x₂ + 3)/3

y₂ = (x₂ + 3)/3 + 6  = 1/3·x₂ + 1 + 6 = 1/3·x₂ + 7

Which gives the equation representing the new path as y = \dfrac{1}{3} \cdot x + 7.

Answer:

96

Step-by-step explanation:

If B is the midpoint of AC, the length of AC has to be twice the length of AB. This is because AB = AC. Twice 48 is 96.

Y is a differentiable function of x. Choose the alternative that is the derivative dy / dx.
murzikaleks [220]

Differentiating both sides of

x^3-y^3=1

with respect to <em>x</em> yields (using the chain rule)

3x^2 - 3y^2 \dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dx} = 0

Solve for d<em>y</em>/d<em>x</em> :

3x^2 - 3y^2 \dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dx} = 0 \\\\ 3y^2\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dx} = 3x^2 \\\\ \dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dx} = \dfrac{3x^2}{3y^2} = \dfrac{x^2}{y^2}

The answer is then D.
