Answer:

$y=1$

Step-by-step explanation:

If we graphed y=1, then it would be a horizontal line where a point would be on (0,1).

A horizontal line has no slope, and the y-intercept for y=1 is one.

What is the length of AC?

sashaice [31]

A is at -8 and C i5 at 5

-8 to 0 is 8 units and 0 to 5 is 5 units.

8 +5 = 13

AC is 13 units long.

Try to sketch by hand the curve of intersection of the parabolic cylinder y = x2 and the top half of the ellipsoid x2 + 7y2 + 7z

vovikov84 [41]

Plug $y=x^2$ into the equation of the ellipsoid:

$x^2+7(x^2)^2+7z^2=49$

Complete the square:

$7x^4+x^2=7\left(x^4+\dfrac{x^2}7+\dfrac1{14^2}-\dfrac1{14^2}\right)=7\left(x^2+\dfrac1{14}\right)^2+\dfrac1{28}$

Then the intersection is such that

$7\left(x^2+\dfrac1{14}\right)^2+7z^2=\dfrac{1371}{28}$

$\left(x^2+\dfrac1{14}\right)^2+z^2=\dfrac{1371}{196}$

which resembles the equation of a circle, and suggests a parameterization is polar-like coordinates. Let

$x(t)^2+\dfrac1{14}=\sqrt{\dfrac{1371}{196}}\cos t\implies x(t)=\pm\sqrt{\sqrt{\dfrac{1371}{196}}\cos t-\dfrac1{14}}$

$y(t)=x(t)^2=\sqrt{\dfrac{1371}{196}}\cos t-\dfrac1{14}$

$z=\sqrt{\dfrac{1371}{196}}\sin t$

(Attached is a plot of the two surfaces and the intersection; red for the positive root $x(t)$ , blue for the negative)

For a class project, students collect data about the ages of the male students (a) and their heights in inches (h). There was a

otez555 [7]

Since the equation, <span>h=1.6a+41, is linear, we know that the coefficient of x, or in this case a, is the slope. Therefore the correct answer would be
