Answer:

A.

Step-by-step explanation:

Distributive property means (in this case) to multiply what's inside the () by what's outside the (). Therefore, I believe A is the only one that makes sense.

Hope this helps!

What is an equation of the line that passes through the point (3,-1) and (8, 9)?

Evgesh-ka [11]

Answer:

4) y = 2x - 7

Step-by-step explanation:

First we have to find the slope by using the following formula....

let (3, - 1) be $(x_{1}, y_{1} )$ , let (8, 9) be $(x_{2} ,y_{2} )$ , and m be the slope, then....

$m = \frac{y_{2} -y_{1} }{x_{2} - x_{1} } = \frac{9 + 1}{8 - 3} = \frac{10}{5} = 2$

Now that we know the slope we can find the equation of the function by using point-slope for of the function which look like this.....

$y -y_{1} = m(x - x_{1} )\\y + 1 = 2(x - 3)\\y + 1 = 2x - 6\\y = 2x - 7$

Find the point (,) on the curve =8 that is closest to the point (3,0). [To do this, first find the distance function between (,)

ELEN [110]

Question:

Find the point (,) on the curve $y = \sqrt x$ that is closest to the point (3,0).

[To do this, first find the distance function between (,) and (3,0) and minimize it.]

Answer:

$(x,y) = (\frac{5}{2},\frac{\sqrt{10}}{2}})$

Step-by-step explanation:

$y = \sqrt x$ can be represented as: $(x,y)$

Substitute $\sqrt x$ for $y$

$(x,y) = (x,\sqrt x)$

So, next:

Calculate the distance between $(x,\sqrt x)$ and $(3,0)$

Distance is calculated as:

$d = \sqrt{(x_1-x_2)^2 + (y_1 - y_2)^2}$

So:

$d = \sqrt{(x-3)^2 + (\sqrt x - 0)^2}$

$d = \sqrt{(x-3)^2 + (\sqrt x)^2}$

Evaluate all exponents

$d = \sqrt{x^2 - 6x +9 + x}$

Rewrite as:

$d = \sqrt{x^2 + x- 6x +9 }$

$d = \sqrt{x^2 - 5x +9 }$

Differentiate using chain rule:

Let

$u = x^2 - 5x +9$

$\frac{du}{dx} = 2x - 5$

So:

$d = \sqrt u$

$d = u^\frac{1}{2}$

$\frac{dd}{du} = \frac{1}{2}u^{-\frac{1}{2}}$

Chain Rule:

$d' = \frac{du}{dx} * \frac{dd}{du}$

$d' = (2x-5) * \frac{1}{2}u^{-\frac{1}{2}}$

$d' = (2x - 5) * \frac{1}{2u^{\frac{1}{2}}}$

$d' = \frac{2x - 5}{2\sqrt u}$

Substitute: $u = x^2 - 5x +9$

$d' = \frac{2x - 5}{2\sqrt{x^2 - 5x + 9}}$

Next, is to minimize (by equating d' to 0)

$\frac{2x - 5}{2\sqrt{x^2 - 5x + 9}} = 0$

Cross Multiply

$2x - 5 = 0$

Solve for x

$2x =5$

$x = \frac{5}{2}$

Substitute $x = \frac{5}{2}$ in $y = \sqrt x$

$y = \sqrt{\frac{5}{2}}$

Split

$y = \frac{\sqrt 5}{\sqrt 2}$

Rationalize

$y = \frac{\sqrt 5}{\sqrt 2} * \frac{\sqrt 2}{\sqrt 2}$

$y = \frac{\sqrt {10}}{\sqrt 4}$

$y = \frac{\sqrt {10}}{2}$

Hence:

$(x,y) = (\frac{5}{2},\frac{\sqrt{10}}{2}})$
