Find the x-coordinates of the two points on the curve

Mathematics
1 answer:
scZoUnD [109]3 years ago

Answer: x = {-2, 2}

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Tangent means it is touching. Find the intersection of the two equations.

Solve the linear equation for y, then set the two equations equal to each other.

4y=x+8\qquad \rightarrow \qquad y=\dfrac{x+8}{4}

\dfrac{x-1}{x}=\dfrac{x+8}{4}\\\\\\\text{Cross multiply and solve for x:}\\4(x-1)=x(x+8)\\4x-4=x^2+8x\\.\qquad 0=x^2+4x+4\\.\qquad 0=(x+2)^2\\.\qquad 0=x+2\\.\qquad x=-2

To find the next point that is parallel to the linear equation and tangent to the curve, we need to use the linear equation with slope (m) = \dfrac{1}{4} and unknown b.

Let's try b = 0, then the equation of the linear equation is: y=\dfrac{1}{4}x

Set the equations equal to each other and solve for x:

\dfrac{x-1}{x}=\dfrac{x}{4}\\\\\\4(x-1)=x^2\\4x-4=x^2\\.\qquad 0=x^2-4x+4\\.\qquad 0=(x-2)^2\\.\qquad 0=x-2\\.\qquad x=2

This works!!!  If it didn't work, we would have tried other values for b until we arrived at a solution.

The rate of change of the relationship is 6/5

<h3>Rate of change of a line</h3>

The rate of change of a line is also known as the slope of the line. The formula for calculating the slope of a line is expressed as:

Slope =y2-y1/x2-x1

Given the coordinate points (-3,-2) and (2, 4). On substituting;

Slope = 4-(-2)/2-(-3)

Slope =4+2/2+3

Slope = 6/5

Hence the rate of change of the relationship is 6/5

Answer:

1. 121 π  unit²

2. 143°

3. 151 unit²

Step-by-step explanation:

1.

Area of a circle is given by the formula  A = πr²

where

A is the area,

r is the radius of the circle

From the given diagram, we can see that the radius is 11, hence the area will be:

A=\pi r^2\\A=\pi (11)^2\\A=121\pi

The answer is  121\pi units^2

2.

The unshaded secctor and the shaded sector equals the circle. We know that circle is 360°. The unshaded sector has an angle of 217°. So the shaded part will be 360 - 217 = 143°

The measure of the central angle of the shaded sector is 143°

3.

Area of a sector is given by the formula  A=\frac{\theta}{360}*\pi r^2

Where

\theta is the central angle of the sector (in our case it is 143°)

r is the radius (which is 11)

Plugging in all the info into the formula we have:

A=\frac{\theta}{360}*\pi r^2\\A=\frac{143}{360}*\pi (11)^2\\A=150.99

<em>rounding to the nearest whole number, it is </em>151 units^2

100 POINTS!!!! CAN ANYONE PLEASE HELP ME OUT WITH THIS??!!

The two boats picked for the trip are the steamboat and the tall ship. Let us assume that we will take the steamboat going to the island, and then we will take the tall ship for the return trip. We will then relate the distances travelled by both ships to each other.

2. We know that the steamboat takes five hours to complete the trip. The tall ship takes more time, at ten hours to complete the trip. We do not have the exact speeds of the steamboat or of the tall ship, but we do know that the tall ship is 10 knots slower than the steamboat. We likewise do not know the exact distance travelled by either ship, but we do know that both travel the same distance. We want to find out how fast each boat travels. We expect the answers to be in knots, with a difference of 10.

3. We know that distance is equivalent to the product of speed of a boat multiplied by the time of travel. For the trip going to the island, we will use the steamboat. Let its speed be x knots (equivalent to x nautical miles per hour), and let the distance going to the island be d nautical miles. Given that the time takes is 5 hours, this means that d = 5x.

4. If we let x be the speed of the boat you are taking to the island (the steamboat), then we know that the speed of the other boat (the tall ship) is 10 knots less than the steamboat's. So the speed of the tall ship (for the return trip) is (x - 10) knots.

5. Similar to part 3: we will multiply speed by time to determine the distance from the island. From part 4, we have determined that the speed of the tall ship to be used in returning is (x - 10) knots. Meanwhile, the given in the problem says that the tall ship will take 10 hours to make the trip. Therefore the distance will be equal to d = 10(x - 10) = 10x - 100 nautical miles.

6. We can assume that the distance travelled going to the island is the same distance travelled coming back. Therefore, we can equate the formula for distance from part 3 for the steamboat, to the distance from part 5 for the tall ship.
5x = 10x - 100

7. Solving for x: 5x = 10x - 100
-5x = -100
x = 20
Since x is the speed of the steamboat, x = 20 means that the steamboat's speed is 20 knots.

8. We determined in part 4 that the speed of the second boat (in our case, the tall ship) is (x - 10) knots. Since we have calculated in part 7 that the steamboat travels at x = 20 knots, then the speed of the tall ship is (x - 10) = 20 - 10 = 10 knots.
