The 2 smaller triangles are similar.  Thus, y is to z as x is to 4.  You need 3 such ratios to find the 3 unknowns.  Could you try your hand at writing 1 more ratio based upon the illustration?

Mila graphs the point A
melamori03 [73]
Answers:
B. <span>The x-coordinate of point A is 5.
</span>E. <span>Point A is on the x-axis.
</span>
Explanation:
Any point drawn on the coordinates has the general notation of (x,y).
The given point is (5,0). This means that:
The x-coordinate of the point is 5
The y-coordinate of the point is 0

Now, let's check the place of this point.
The x-coordinate of the point is 5. This means that we will move 5 points to the right of the origin on the x-axis
The y-coordinate of the point is 0. This means that we will not move along the y-axis which means that the point stays on the x-axis.

Now, comparing the deduced results with the given choices, we will find that the correct choices are B and E

Hope this helps :)

How to solve using Substitution or Elimination?<br> y=3x-1<br><br> y=2x+2
n200080 [17]

By elimination:

y = 3x - 1

y = 2x + 2

Subtract the second equation from the first

0 = x - 1

y = 2x + 2

Subtract the first equation from the second

0 = x - 1

y = x + 3

Subtract the first equation from the second again

0 = x - 1

y =      4

Subtract x from both sides of the first equation

- x =  - 1

y =      4

Divide the first equation by (-1)    

x =  1

y =  4

<h3>So, the solution is  x = 1  and  y = 4   {or: (1, 4)}</h3>

EXAMPLE 5 Find the maximum value of the function f(x, y, z) = x + 2y + 9z on the curve of intersection of the plane x − y + z =
geniusboy [140]

The Lagrangian,

L(x,y,z,\lambda,\mu)=x+2y+9z-\lambda(x-y+z-1)-\mu(x^2+y^2-1)

has critical points where its partial derivatives vanish:

L_x=1-\lambda-2\mu x=0

L_y=2+\lambda-2\mu y=0

L_z=9-\lambda=0

L_\lambda=x-y+z-1=0

L_\mu=x^2+y^2-1=0

L_z=0 tells us \lambda=9, so that

L_x=0\implies-8-2\mu x=0\implies x=-\dfrac4\mu

L_y=0\implies11-2\mu y=0\implies y=\dfrac{11}{2\mu}

Then with L_\mu=0, we get

x^2+y^2=\dfrac{16}{\mu^2}+\dfrac{121}{4\mu^2}=1\implies\mu=\pm\dfrac{\sqrt{185}}2

and L_\lambda=0 tells us

x-y+z=-\dfrac4\mu-\dfrac{11}{2\mu}+z=1\implies z=1+\dfrac{19}{2\mu}

Then there are two critical points, \left(\pm\frac8{\sqrt{185}},\mp\frac{11}{\sqrt{185}},1\pm\frac{19}{\sqrt{185}}\right). The critical point with the negative x-coordinates gives the maximum value, 9+\sqrt{185}.

What is the difference between a linear function and a nonlinear function? Explain what each looks like when represented as a ta
Degger [83]

Answer:

<h3>Sample Answer:<em> </em></h3><h3><em>A linear function has a constant rate of change, while a nonlinear function does not. For a table of values to be linear, the outputs must have a constant rate of change as the inputs increase by 1. On a graph, the function must be a straight line to be linear.</em></h3>
