Answer:

A = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of the slope of the tangent line L is obtained by deriving the equation of the hyperbola:

y = \frac{2}{x}

y'=-2\cdot x^{-2}

The numerical value of the slope is:

y' = -2 \cdot (9)^{-2}\\y' = -\frac{2}{81}

The component of the y-axis is:

y = \frac{2}{9}

Now, the tangent line has the following mathematical model:

y = m \cdot x + b

The value of the intercept is found by isolating it within the equation and replacing all known variables:

b = y - m \cdot x

b = \frac{2}{9}-(-\frac{2}{81} )\cdot (9)\\b = \frac{4}{9}

Thus, the tangent line is:

y = -\frac{2}{81}\cdot x + \frac{4}{9}

The vertical distance between a point of the tangent line and the origin is given by the intercept.

d_{y} = \frac{4}{9}

In order to find horizontal distance between a point of the tangent line and the origin, let equalize y to zero and clear x:

-\frac{2}{81}\cdot x + \frac{4}{9}=0

-\frac{2}{9}\cdot x + 4 = 0

x = 18

d_{x} = 18

The area of the triangle is computed by this formula:

A = \frac{1}{2}\cdot d_{x}\cdot d_{y}

A = \frac{1}{2}\cdot (18)\cdot (\frac{4}{9} )

A = 4

The ratio of two side lengths for the triangle is given. What is the value of “q” AB:BC is 3:4
Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Answer:

q=8.5

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of the side lengths (AB) and (BC) is given. One is also given an expression for the side lengths of each of these sides. Set up a proportion to describe this scenario, then solve using cross products;

\frac{AB}{BC}=\frac{3}{4}

Substitute,

\frac{60}{10q+15}=\frac{3}{4}

Cross products,

\frac{60}{10q+15}=\frac{3}{4}

(60)(4)=(10q+15)(3)\\\\240=30q+45

Inverse operations,

240=30q+45\\\\195=30q\\\\8.5=q

7+14g because your multiplying seven by the parenthesis and because you don’t know the value of g you have to keep it as 2g times 7 which would be 14g

You plan to build a house that is 1 ½ times as long as it is wide. You want the land around the house to be 20 feet wider than t
IgorLugansk [536]

The total area with land based on the information given is 3x² + 60x.

<h3>How to find the area?</h3>

Let the width = x

Let the length = (1.5 × x) = 1.5x

Area = 1.5x × x = 1.5x²

The area along with land:

Width = x + 20

Length = 3 × x = 3x

The total area with land:

= Length × Width

= 3x(x + 20)

= 3x² + 60x.
