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

Mathematics
1 answer:
scZoUnD [109]3 years ago
7 0

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.

HELP ME!!! 25 POINTS!!
riadik2000 [5.3K]

Answer:

The total distance walked by Paulo is 3750 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here the four points are<em> (-2,1) (-2,-7) (5,-7) (5,1)</em>

Moving from stop A to B, only the y coordinate changes,

the change is ,

=1-(-7) = 1+7 = 8 units

Moving from stop B to C, only the x coordinate changes,

the change is ,

=5-(-2) = 5+2 = 7 units

Moving from stop C to D, only the y coordinate changes,

the change is

=1-(-7) = 1+7 = 8 units

Moving from stop D to A, only the x coordinate changes,

the change is

=5-(-2) = 5+2 = 7 units

Thus, the total distance traveled is 8+7+8+7 = 30 units

It is given that <em>1 unit = 125 feet</em>

Thus, the total distance traveled is = (125)(30) = 3750 feet

The total distance walked by Paulo is 3750 feet.

If p+q has the value that is exactly 1/3 less than p what is the value of q
solmaris [256]

Answer:

q = - \frac{1}{3} p

Step-by-step explanation:

\frac{1}{3} less than p = \frac{2}{3} p

Thus

p + q = \frac{2}{3} p ( multiply through by 3 to clear the fraction )

3p + 3q = 2p ( subtract 3p from both sides )

3q = - p ( divide both sides by 3 )

q = - \frac{1}{3} p
