It's simple multiplication
First plane: 496x
<span>Second plane: 558( x - 1/2) </span>
<span>Equation: 496x = 558( x - 1/2) </span>
<span>Solving x = 9/2 , or x = 4.5 hours.
Hope this helps.</span>
Interesting question. Good to know for computer science.
Suppose you have a function like
an = 3x - 2 Try the first couple
a1 = 3(1) - 2
a1 = 3 - 2
a1 = 1
a2 = 3(2) - 2
a2 = 6 - 2
a2 = 4 So each term differs by 3
a2 - a1 = 3
an = a_(n - 1) + 3
a3 = a2 + 3
a3 = 4 + 3
a3 = 7
a4 = a3 + 3
a4 = 7 + 3
a4 = 10
a5 = a4+ 3
a5 = 10 + 3
a5 = 13
I'll do one more and then check it.
a6 = a5 + 3
a6 = 13 + 3
a6 = 16
a6 = 3x -2
a6 = 3*6 - 2
a6 = 18 - 2
a6 = 16 which checks.
So the general formula is
an = a_(n - 1) * k if you were multiplying or
an = a_(n - 1) + k if you were adding. The key thing is that you are working with the previous term.
The area of the triangle as a function of x is A = 3x^2/[2(x -5)] and the domain is x > 5
<h3>Write the area A of the triangle as a function of x</h3>
From the figure, we have the following points:
(0,y), (5,3), and (x,0)
Next, we calculate the slopes between the points.
This is calculated as follows:
- Slope between (0,y) and (5,3) = [y - 3]/[0 - 5] = [3 - y]/5
- Slope between (5,3) and (x,0) = [3 - 0]/[5 - x] = 3/[5 - x]
The slopes are equal.
So, we have:
[3 - y]/5 = 3/[5 - x]
Cross multiply
(3 - y)(5 -x) = 15
Divide by 5 - x
(3 - y) = 15/(5 -x)
This gives
y = 3 - 15/(5 -x)
This gives
y = [15- 3x - 15]/[5 - x]
Evaluate
y = 3x/(x - 5)
The area is calculated as:
Area = 1/2 * xy
So, we have:
Area = 1/2 * x * 3x/(x - 5)
Evaluate
Area = 3x^2/[2(x -5)]
Hence, the area of the triangle as a function of x is A = 3x^2/[2(x -5)]
<h3>
The domain of the function</h3>
We have:
A = 3x^2/[2(x -5)]
Set the denominator > 0
2(x - 5) > 0
Divide by 2
x - 5 > 0
Add 5 to the sides
x > 5
Hence, the domain is x > 5
