What are the roots of 2x+6=-5/x?

1 answer:

6 0

2x +5/x +6 =0
multiplying by x
2x^2 +5 + 6x = 0

Using quadratic formula
X1 = -1.25 plus 1.199 i
X2 = -1.25 minus 1.199 i

A man starts walking north at 2 ft/s from a point P. Five minutes later a woman starts walking south at 3 ft/s from a point 500

Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Answer:

The rate at which both of them are moving apart is 4.9761 ft/sec.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Rate at which the woman is walking, $\frac{d(w)}{dt}$ = 3 ft/sec

Rate at which the man is walking, $\frac{d(m)}{dt}$ = 2 ft/sec

Collective rate of both, $\frac{d(m+w)}{dt}$ = 5 ft/sec

Woman starts walking after 5 mins so we have to consider total time traveled by man as (5+15) min = 20 min

Now,

Distance traveled by man and woman are $m$ and $w$ ft respectively.

⇒ $m=2\ ft/sec=2\times \frac{60}{min} \times 20\ min =2400\ ft$

⇒ $w=3\ ft/sec = 3\times \frac{60}{min} \times 15\ min =2700\ ft$

As we see in the diagram (attachment) that it forms a right angled triangle and we have to calculate $\frac{dh}{dt}$ .

Lets calculate h.

Applying Pythagoras formula.

⇒ $h^2=(m+w)^2+500^2$

⇒ $h=\sqrt{(2400+2700)^2+500^2} = 5124.45$

Now differentiating the Pythagoras formula we can calculate the rate at which both of them are moving apart.

Differentiating with respect to time.

⇒ $h^2=(m+w)^2+500^2$

⇒ $2h\frac{d(h)}{dt}=2(m+w)\frac{d(m+w)}{dt} + \frac{d(500)}{dt}$

⇒ $\frac{d(h)}{dt} =\frac{2(m+w)\frac{d(m+w)}{dt} }{2h}$ ...as $\frac{d(500)}{dt}= 0$

⇒ Plugging the values.

⇒ $\frac{d(h)}{dt} =\frac{2(2400+2700)(5)}{2\times 5124.45}$ ...as $\frac{d(m+w)}{dt} = 5$ ft/sec

⇒ $\frac{d(h)}{dt} =4.9761$ ft/sec

So the rate from which man and woman moving apart is 4.9761 ft/sec.

Which is the equation in slope-intercept form for the line that passes through (-2, 15) and is perpendicular to 2x + 3y = 4?

Ilya [14]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Rearrange 2x + 3y = 4 into this form

Subtract 2x from both sides

3y = - 2x + 4 ( divide all terms by 3 )

y = - $\frac{2}{3}$ x + $\frac{4}{3}$ ← in slope- intercept form

with slope m = - $\frac{2}{3}$

Given a line with slope m then the slope of a line perpendicular to it is

$m_{perpendicular}$ = - $\frac{1}{m}$ = - $\frac{1}{-\frac{2}{3} }$ = $\frac{3}{2}$ , hence

y = $\frac{3}{2}$ x + c ← is the partial equation of the perpendicular line

To find c substitute (- 2, 15) into the partial equation

15 = - 3 + c ⇒ c = 15 + 3 = 18

y = $\frac{3}{2}$ x + 18 → B
