Answer:

The answer is c

Step-by-step explanation:

You have to do everything backwards,

-9 divide it by 3 to get -3, then add seven to that answer

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

You can work backward to find out the answer!

Start with -9. Instead of multiplying by 3, you can divide.

-9/3 = -3

Now, instead of decreasing -3 by 7, increase by 7.

-3+7 = 4

You get 4, which is C!

Hope this helps!

Trouble finding arclength calc 2

kiruha [24]

Answer:

$S\approx1.1953$

Step-by-step explanation:

So we have the function:

$y=3-x^2$

And we want to find the arc-length from:

$0\leq x\leq \sqrt3/2$

By differentiating and substituting into the arc-length formula, we will acquire:

$\displaystyle S=\int\limits^\sqrt3/2}_0 {\sqrt{1+4x^2} \, dx$

To evaluate, we can use trigonometric substitution. First, notice that:

$\displaystyle S=\int\limits^\sqrt3/2}_0 {\sqrt{1+(2x)^2} \, dx$

Let's let y=2x. So:

$y=2x\\dy=2\,dx\\\frac{1}{2}\,dy=dx$

We also need to rewrite our bounds. So:

$y=2(\sqrt3/2)=\sqrt3\\y=2(0)=0$

So, substitute. Our integral is now:

$\displaystyle S=\frac{1}{2}\int\limits^\sqrt3}_0 {\sqrt{1+y^2} \, dy$

Let's multiply both sides by 2. So, our length S is:

$\displaystyle 2S=\int\limits^\sqrt3}_0 {\sqrt{1+y^2} \, dy$

Now, we can use trigonometric substitution.

Note that this is in the form a²+x². So, we will let:

$y=a\tan(\theta)$

Substitute 1 for a. So:

$y=\tan(\theta)$

Differentiate:

$y=\sec^2(\theta)\, d\theta$

Of course, we also need to change our bounds. So:

$\sqrt3=\tan(\theta), \theta=\pi/3\\0=\tan(\theta), \theta=0$

Substitute:

$\displaystyle 2S= \int\limits^{\pi/3}_0 {\sqrt{1+\tan^2(\theta)}\sec^2(\theta) \, d\theta$

The expression within the square root is equivalent to (Pythagorean Identity):

$\displaystyle 2S= \int\limits^{\pi/3}_0 {\sqrt{\sec^2(\theta)}\sec^2(\theta) \, d\theta$

Simplify:

$\displaystyle 2S= \int\limits^{\pi/3}_0 (\sec(\theta))\sec^2(\theta) \, d\theta$

Now, we have to evaluate this integral. To do this, we can use integration by parts. So, let's let u=sec(θ) and dv=sec²(θ). Therefore:

$u=\sec(\theta)\\du=\sec(\theta)\tan(\theta)\, d\theta$

And:

$dv=\sec^2(\theta)\, d\theta\\v=\tan(\theta)$

Integration by parts:

$\displaystyle 2S= \int\limits^{\pi/3}_0 (\sec(\theta))\sec^2(\theta) \, d\theta=\sec(\theta)\tan(\theta)-(\int\limits^{\pi/3}_0 {\tan^2(\theta)\sec(\theta)} \, d\theta)$

Again, let's using the Pythagorean Identity, we can rewrite tan²(θ) as:

$\displaystyle 2S= \int\limits^{\pi/3}_0 (\sec(\theta))\sec^2(\theta) \, d\theta=\sec(\theta)\tan(\theta)-(\int\limits^{\pi/3}_0 {(\sec^2(\theta)-1)\sec(\theta)} \, d\theta)$

Distribute:

$\displaystyle 2S= \int\limits^{\pi/3}_0 (\sec(\theta))\sec^2(\theta) \, d\theta=\sec(\theta)\tan(\theta)-(\int\limits^{\pi/3}_0 {(\sec^3(\theta)-\sec(\theta)} \, d\theta)$

Now, let's make the single integral into two integrals. So:

$\displaystyle 2S= \int\limits^{\pi/3}_0 (\sec(\theta))\sec^2(\theta) \, d\theta=\sec(\theta)\tan(\theta)-(\int\limits^{\pi/3}_0 {\sec^3(\theta)\, d\theta-\int\limits^{\pi/3}_0 {\sec(\theta)}\, d\theta)$

Distribute the negative:

$\displaystyle 2S= \int\limits^{\pi/3}_0 (\sec(\theta))\sec^2(\theta) \, d\theta=\sec(\theta)\tan(\theta)-\int\limits^{\pi/3}_0 {\sec^3(\theta)\, d\theta+\int\limits^{\pi/3}_0 {\sec(\theta)}\, d\theta$

Notice that the integral in the first equation and the second integral in the second equation is the same. In other words, we can add the second integral in the second equation to the integral in the first equation. So:

$\displaystyle 2S= 2\int\limits^{\pi/3}_0 (\sec(\theta))\sec^2(\theta) \, d\theta=\sec(\theta)\tan(\theta)+\int\limits^{\pi/3}_0 {\sec(\theta)}\, d\theta$

Divide the second and third equation by 2. So: $\displaystyle 2S= \int\limits^{\pi/3}_0 (\sec(\theta))\sec^2(\theta) \, d\theta=\frac{1}{2}(\sec(\theta)\tan(\theta)+\int\limits^{\pi/3}_0 {\sec(\theta)}\, d\theta)$

Now, evaluate the integral in the second equation. This is a common integral, so I won't integrate it here. Namely, it is:

$\displaystyle 2S= \int\limits^{\pi/3}_0 (\sec(\theta))\sec^2(\theta) \, d\theta=\frac{1}{2}(\sec(\theta)\tan(\theta)+\ln(\tan(\theta)+\sec(\theta))$

Therefore, our arc length will be equivalent to:

$\displaystyle 2S=\frac{1}{2}(\sec(\theta)\tan(\theta)+\ln(\tan(\theta)+\sec(\theta)|_{0}^{\pi/3}$

Divide both sides by 2:

$\displaystyle S=\frac{1}{4}(\sec(\theta)\tan(\theta)+\ln(\tan(\theta)+\sec(\theta)|_{0}^{\pi/3}$

Evaluate:

$S=\frac{1}{4}((\sec(\pi/3)\tan(\pi/3)+\ln(\tan(\pi/3)+\sec(\pi/3))-(\sec(0)\tan(0)+\ln(\tan(0)+\sec(0))$

Evaluate:

$S=\frac{1}{4}((2\sqrt3+\ln(\sqrt3+2))-((1)(0)+\ln(0+1))$

Simplify:

$S=\frac{1}{4}(2\sqrt 3+\ln(\sqrt3+2)}$

Use a calculator:

$S\approx1.1953$

And we're done!

which ordered pair could be added to the relation below to ensure it continues to be a function? (-7,9) (4,-1) (0,5) (-2,-2)

marin [14]

Answer:

[see below]

Step-by-step explanation:

A function's inputs do not repeat. This means that any point with the x-value not repeated with the other points can be added to ensure that it continues as a function.

In this scenario:

{x| x ≠ -7, 4, 0, -2}

A point that does not have the x-value of -7, 0, 4, and -2 could be added to the relation to ensure it continues to be a function.

Hope this helps.
