Answer:

x: starting temperature

dropped 10

increase :40

total 16

x-10+40=16

x=-14

Answer: the starting temperature is - 7 degrees.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the starting temperature.

Then the temperature doubled. It means that it became 2x degrees

Then the temperature dropped by 10 degrees. It means that it became 2x - 10 degrees.

Then the temperature increased by 40 degrees. It means that it became 2x - 10 + 40 = 2x + 30 degrees.

If the temperature is now 16 degrees, it means that

2x + 30 = 16

2x = 16 - 30

2x = - 14

x = - 14/2

x = - 7 degrees

Find parametric equations for the tangent line to the curve with the given parametric equations at the specified point. Illustra

Rainbow [258]

Answer:

$x = t$

$y = 1 - t$

$z = 2t$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$x=t$

$y=e^{-t}$

$z=2t-t^2$

(0, 1, 0)

The vector equation is given as:

$r(t) = (x,y,z)$

Substitute values for x, y and z

$r(t) = (t,\ e^{-t},\ 2t - t^2)$

Differentiate:

$r'(t) = (1,\ -e^{-t},\ 2 - 2t)$

The parametric value that corresponds to (0, 1, 0) is:

$t = 0$

Substitute 0 for t in r'(t)

$r'(t) = (1,\ -e^{-t},\ 2 - 2t)$

$r'(0) = (1,\ -e^{-0},\ 2 - 2*0)$

$r'(0) = (1,\ -1,\ 2 - 0)$

$r'(0) = (1,\ -1,\ 2)$

The tangent line passes through (0, 1, 0) and the tangent line is parallel to r'(0)

It should be noted that:

The equation of a line through position vector a and parallel to vector v is given as:

$r(t) = a + tv$

Such that:

$a = (0,1,0)$ and $v = r'(0) = (1,-1,2)$

The equation becomes:

$r(t) = (0,1,0) + t(1,-1,2)$

$r(t) = (0,1,0) + (t,-t,2t)$

$r(t) = (0+t,1-t,0+2t)$

$r(t) = (t,1-t,2t)$

By comparison:

$r(t) = (x,y,z)$ and $r(t) = (t,1-t,2t)$

The parametric equations for the tangent line are:

$x = t$

$y = 1 - t$

$z = 2t$
