Answer:

An ellipse

Step-by-step explanation:

Take a cone and make a diagonal cut through it, removing a very thin slice. The result is an ellipse.

a /\

/ \

/ \ b

/ \

Make a straight line from a to b, it will make an elliptical shape. If we cut perfectly horizontally, we would get a circle, when we angle the cut of our cross section, the shape gets more and more elliptical depending on the angle of the cut

The intensity of a light source at a distance is directly proportional to the strength of the source and inversely proportional

jolli1 [7]

Answer:

x= $\frac{16}{\sqrt[3]{2}+1 }$

Step-by-step explanation:

Q= illumination

I = intensity

Q= I/d^2

Q_total = $\frac{I_1}{d_1^2}+\frac{I_2}{d_2^2}$

= $\frac{I}{x^2}+\frac{2I}{(16-x)^2}$

now Q' = 0

⇒I ${-\frac{2}{x^3}}+\frac{4}{(16-x)^3}$

x= $\frac{16}{\sqrt[3]{2}+1 }$

[/tex] $\frac{1}{x^3} = \frac{2}{(16-x)^3}$

x= $\frac{16}{\sqrt[3]{2}+1 }$

is the required point

If x2 + y2 = 14 and xy = 5, find the value of (1/2 x + 1/2 y)2.

aleksley [76]

Answer:

(½x+½y)²=6

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2 + y^2 = 14, xy=5

(A+B)^2=A^2 +2AB+B^2... (*)

(1/2x+1/2y)^2 =(*)

(1/2x)^2 +2(1/2x)(1/2y)+(1/2y)^2 =

1/4x^2 +1/2xy+1/4y^2=

1/4(x^2 +y^2) +1/2(xy)=

1/4*14+1/2*5=

14/4+5/2=

14/4+10/4=

24/4=6

let me know if I'm wrong.
