Answer:

The point P that is closest to the point (74, 0) is P(7.4, 22.2), and the least distance between P and (74, 0) is 70.2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

y = 66x

And a point A(74, 0)

We are required to find the point on the line that is closest to A, and then find the distance between these points.

Let the point be P(s, t)

Because it's coordinate satisfies the given equation

y = 3x

Let t = 3s, then we have

p(s, t) = P(s, 3s)

Next, we find the distance between P and A

Let the distance be

D = √[(x1 - y1)² + (x2 - y2)²]

Here x1 = 74, x2 = 0, y1 = s, y2 = 3s.

D = √[(74 - s)² + (0 - 3s)²]

= √(s² - 148s + 5476 + 9s²)

= √(10s² - 148s + 5479)

To maximize the distance, we find the derivative of D with respect to s, and set it to 0.

That is dD/ds = 0

dD/ds =

(20s - 148)/2√(10s² - 148s 5479) = 0

=> 20s - 148 = 0

20s = 148

s = 148/20

s = 7.4

Since t = 3s, we have

t = 22.2

So, the point is P(7.4, 22.2)

Finally, we find the distance D.

D = √[(74 - s)² + (0 - 3s)²]

D = √[(74 - 7.4)² + (0 - 3×7.4)²]

D = √(4435.56 + 492.84)

= √4928.4

D = 70.2

Therefore, the distance is 70.2

Can anyone plzzzz help me with this question of linear equation in two varaiable plzzzzzz... Its very important... Plz solve it

That's not a linear system, but you have an awesome school system for giving you this problem.

\dfrac 5 y - \dfrac 2 x = \dfrac{13}6

Multiply by 6xy to clear the fractions.

30x - 12y = 13 xy

That's a second degree equation, also known as a conic.  That one happens to be a hyperbola.  

30x = y(13 x +12)

y = \dfrac{30x}{13 x + 12}

Let's clear the fractions from the second equation, multiplying out common denominator xy:

\dfrac {36} x - \dfrac {24} y = 1

36y - 24 x = xy

We are being asked to find the meet of two hyperbolas, so we expect two answers, a quadratic equation.

Substituting,

36 \left( \dfrac{30x}{13 x + 12} \right) - 24 x = x \left( \dfrac{30x}{13 x + 12} \right)

36(30x) -24 x(13x + 12) = 30x^2

1080 x - 312 x^2- 288 x = 30x^2

x(792 - 342 x)= 0

x = 0 \textrm{ or } x=792/342 = \dfrac{44}{19}

We have to rule out x=0 because it's in the denominator.

y = \dfrac{30x}{13 x + 12} = \dfrac{30(44/19)}{13(44/19)+12}

y = \dfrac{33}{20}

Answer: (44/19, 33/20)

BC = 6x + 6,<br> AB = 8 +9, and<br> AC = 141.<br> Find BC
Dahasolnce [82]

Answer: 60

Step-by-step explanation:

Since AB and BC creates AC, we can add them together to find x, then use that to find the value of BC.

8x+9+6x+6=141                  [combine like terms]

14x+15=141                          [subtract both sides by 15]

14x=126                               [divide both sides by 14]

x=9

Now that we have found the value of x, we can plug that into BC.

6(9)+6                                 [multiply]

54+6                                   [add]

60

Now, we know the length of BC is 60.
