Find an equation of the normal line to the parabola y=x^2-5x+4 that is parallel to the line x-3y=5

1 answer:

3 0

The equation of the normal line is parallel to x - 3y = 5
3y = x - 5
y = 1/3x - 5/3
The normal line has a slope of 1/3 and the slope of the tangent line is -3
Let the point at which the normal line passes the parabola be (x1, y1), then
f'(x1) = 2x - 5 = -3
2x = -3 + 5 = 2
x = 2/2 = 1
y = (1)^2 - 5(1) + 4 = 1 - 5 + 4 = 0
Therefore, the normal line passes through point (1, 0) and has a slope of 1/3.
Therefore, required equation is y = 1/3(x - 1)
y = 1/3x - 1/3

Given the formula for an arithmetic sequence f(7) = f(6) + 4 written using a recursive formula, write the sequence using an arit

natita [175]

Answer:

Of(7) = f(1) + 24

Step-by-step explanation:

Since this Arithmetic Sequence can be written recursively as a function, then we can write the whole sequence, by adding the common difference to the previous function. So writing it as an Arithmetic formula is (placing an example, with a common difference of 4 units):

$\left.\begin{matrix}n &1&2&3&4&5&6 &7\\f(n)&2&6&10 & 14&18&22&26 \end{matrix}\right|\\f(n)=f(n-1)+d\:\: (Recursive \: Formula)\Rightarrow a_{n}=a_{n-1}+4\: \: \: (Arithmetic\: Formula)\\Of(7)=f(1)+6*4\Rightarrow a_{7}=a_{1}+(7-1)4\Rightarrow a_{7}=a_{1}+24\\$

RoseWind [281]

The solution to the systems of equations is (7, 3)

Given the systems of equations expressed as:

-x + 4y = 5 ....................1

x - 5y = -2 ...................... 2

Add both equations to have:

-x+x + 4y - 5y = 5 - 2

4y-5y = -3

-y = -3

y = 3

Substitute y = 3 into equation 1:

-x + 4(3) = 5

-x + 12 = 5

-x = 5 - 12

-x = -7

x = 7

Hence the solution to the systems of equations is (7, 3)
