A. Equation of line l: y = mx + 20 where m = y' = 1- (1/250)x 

At the point Q, The equation of the line equals the equation of the parabola. 

So (1-x/250)x + 20 = x - x^2/500 

20 = x^2/250 - x^2/500 = x^2/500 
x = sqrt(20*500) = 100ft 

B. m = 1 - 100/250 = 3/5. 

<span>Equation of line L is y = 3/5x + 20 
</span>
C)  If a spotlight is located at the x intercept of line L (-33 1/3,0), its light will go only above line L past the point where line L is tangent to the hill at (100,80) because the hill blocks the light below the tangent line. 

<span>The highest point on the equation of y = x - x²/500 is at (250,125), so a tree 50 feet tall at that location would reach up to (250,175). The tangent line goes through (250,170), so the top 5 feet of the tree would be above the tangent line, in the glow of the spotlight.

The constraints of a problem are listed below. What are the vertices of the feasible region?
Grace [21]
The vertices are the intersections between the lines.

1) line x + y = 5 and y = 3:

y = 3 => x + 3 = 5 => x = 5 - 3 => x = 2

=> vertix = (2,3)

2) line x + y = 5 and y = 0

=> y = 0 => x + 0 = 5 => x = 5

=> vertix = (5,0)

3) line x + y = 5 and x = 0

=> 0 + y = 5 => y = 5

=>  (0,5) ------> this is not a vertix because it is above the line y = 3

4) line y = 3 and x-axis

=> vertix = (0,3)

5) x-axis and y-axis => origin => vertix = (0,0)

So, there are four vertices: (0,0), (5,0), (2,3) and (0,3)

Answer: That is the first option:(<span>0, 0), (0, 3), (2, 3), (5, 0)</span>

What is the slope of the line between (−4, 4) and (−1, −2)? i got -3??????? which isn't an answer.
kolbaska11 [484]
Slope is defined as the change in y divided by the change in x between two points. Slope = y2 - y1/x2 - x1 -2 - 4/ -1 - (-4) -6/3 -2 Hope this helps!
