Tangent (angle) = opposite / adjacent
tangent (angle) = 41 / 25
tangent (angle) = 1.64
arc tangent (1.64) = 58.627 Degrees =
58.63 (rounded)
answer is A.

Last year there were 20 girls on the volleyball team. This year the number of girls DECREASED by 10%. How many girls are on the

kykrilka [37]

Answer:

18

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 18 girls on the team this year.

If you take 20 and divide the number by 10 you will get 2.

10%=2

If you multiply 2x10 you get 20.

20-2=18

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:

$x = t$

$y = 1 - t$

$z = 2t$
