<h3>Answer: Choice D) 22.5</h3>

========================================

Explanation:

x = length of BC

AC = AB+BC

AC = 6 + x

CE = CD+DE

CE = 22+8

CE = 30

Triangles ACE and BCD are similar triangles (can be proven by the AA similarity theorem due to the fact that AE || BD)

Therefore the corresponding sides are proportional letting us set up the proportion below

AC/BC = CE/CD

(6+x)/x = 30/22 .... substitution

22(6+x) = 30x ... cross multiply

132+22x = 30x

132 = 30x-22x ..... subtract 22x from both sides

132 = 8x

8x = 132

x = 132/8 .... divide both sides by 8

x = 16.5

Now use this to find the length of AC

AC = 6+x

AC = 6+16.5

AC = 22.5

Find the length of the arc of the circular helix with vector equation r(t) = 2 cos t i + 2 sin t j + tk from the point (2, 0, 0)

USPshnik [31]

$\vec r(t)=2\cos t\,\vec\imath+2\sin t\,\vec\jmath+t\,\vec k$

$\implies\vec r'(t)=-2\sin t\,\vec\imath+2\cos t\,\vec\jmath+\vec k$

$\implies\|\vec r'(t)\|=\sqrt{(-2\sin t)^2+(2\cos t)^2+1^2}=\sqrt5$

Then the length of the arc is

$\displaystyle\int_0^{2\pi}\|\vec r'(t)\|\,\mathrm dt=\sqrt5\int_0^{2\pi}\mathrm dt=2\sqrt5\,\pi$

Can someone please help me on this

Answer:

• The function is a linear function

• The function changes at a constant rate

Step-by-step explanation:

A graph of the function shows it to be a straight line (linear function). Such a function always changes at a constant rate. The line goes downward to the right, so the function is a decreasing function.

___

"changes at a constant rate" and "linear function" are two different ways of saying the same thing: the graph of the function is a straight line.
