The linear equation is y = -x - 6

Step-by-step explanation:

To form a linear equation from two points lie on the line which the equation represented it

Find the slope of the line by using the formula $m=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}$
Then use the slope-intercept form of the equation y = m x + b
To find the value of b substitute x and y of the equation by the coordinates of one of the two given points

∵ Points (-2 , -4) and (-3 , -3) lie on the line

∴ $x_{1}$ = -2 and $x_{2}$ = -3

∴ $y_{1}$ = -4 and $y_{2}$ = -3

- Substitute these values in the formula of the slope

∵ $m=\frac{-3-(-4)}{-3-(-2)}=\frac{-3+4}{-3+2}=\frac{1}{-1}$

∴ m = -1

∵ The form of the equation is y = m x + b

∵ m = -1

∴ y = (-1) x + b

∴ y = -x + b

To find b substitute x and y in the equation by the coordinates of

point (-2 , -4) OR (-3 , -3)

∵ x = -3 and y = -3

∴ -3 = -(-3) + b

∴ -3 = 3 + b

- Subtract 3 from both sides

∴ -6 = b

∴ The equation is y = -x + (-6)

∴ y = -x - 6

The linear equation is y = -x - 6

Fernando has two equally-sized containers of clay which he is using to build a pyramid-like structure. The finished structure wi

evablogger [386]

Answer:

Fernando does not have enough clay to finish the structure since, the expressions for the volume left are not the same.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let w be the length of the longest slab. Since each slab is 2 inches less than the one beneath it, we have the width of the other 3 slabs as w - 2, w - 2 - 2 = w - 4 and w - 4 - 2 = w - 6 respectively.

Since the base of each slab is a square and has thickness 2 inches, the volume of each slab from largest to smallest is thus 2w², 2(w - 2)², 2(w - 4)² and 2(w - 6)² respectively.

We have that we have half of the container of clay left after forming the first two slabs(which are the bottom-most slabs). Let V be the volume of each clay container. Since we have half left, that is V/2, we have used 2V - V/2 = 3V/2 to make the two bottom-most slabs.

So, 3V/2 = 2w² + 2(w - 2)²

= 2w² + 2(w² - 4w + 4)

= 2w² + 2w² - 8w + 8

= 4w² - 8w + 8

= 4(w² - 2w + 2) (1)

Also we want to know if V/2 is equal to the volume of the two top-most slabs.

So, V/2 = 2(w - 4)² + 2(w - 6)²

= 2(w² - 8w + 16) + 2(w² - 12w + 36)

= 2w² - 16w + 32 + 2w² - 24w + 72

= 4w² - 40w + 104

= 4(w² - 10w + 26)

From (1) V/2 = 4(w² - 2w + 2)/3 ≠ 4(w² - 10w + 26)

<u>Since the expressions for the remaining volume are not the same, Fernando does not have enough clay to finish the structure.</u>

Solve the system of equations 5x+9y+9z=5 4x+9y+6z=10 2x+2y+5z=9

erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer:

{x,y,z} = {-116,28,37}

Step-by-step explanation:

// Solve equation [3] for the variable z

[3] 5z = -2x - 2y + 9

[3] z = -2x/5 - 2y/5 + 9/5

__________________________________________________________

// Plug this in for variable z in equation [1]

[1] 5x + 9y + 9•(-2x/5-2y/5+9/5) = 5

[1] 7x/5 + 27y/5 = -56/5

[1] 7x + 27y = -56

__________________________________________________________

// Plug this in for variable z in equation [2]

[2] 4x + 9y + 6•(-2x/5-2y/5+9/5) = 10

[2] 8x/5 + 33y/5 = -4/5

[2] 8x + 33y = -4

__________________________________________________________

// Solve equation [2] for the variable y

[2] 33y = -8x - 4

[2] y = -8x/33 - 4/33

__________________________________________________________

// Plug this in for variable y in equation [1]

[1] 7x + 27•(-8x/33-4/33) = -56

[1] 5x/11 = -580/11

[1] 5x = -580

__________________________________________________________

// Solve equation [1] for the variable x

[1] 5x = - 580

[1] x = - 116

__________________________________________________________

// By now we know this much :

x = -116

y = -8x/33-4/33

z = -2x/5-2y/5+9/5

__________________________________________________________

// Use the x value to solve for y

y = -(8/33)(-116)-4/33 = 28

__________________________________________________________

// Use the x and y values to solve for z

z = -(2/5)(-116)-(2/5)(28)+9/5 = 37

A mass of 5 kg stretches a spring 10 cm. The mass is acted on by an external force of 10sin( t ) N(newtons) and moves in a mediu

yKpoI14uk [10]

Answer:

A) C1 = 0.00187 m = 0.187 cm, C2 = 0.0062 m = 0.62 cm

B) A sample of how the graph looks like is attached below ( periodic sine wave )

C) w = $\sqrt[4]{3}$ is when the amplitude of the forced response is maximum

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data :

mass = 5kg

length of spring = 10 cm = 0.1 m

f(t) = 10sin(t) N

viscous force = 2 N

speed of mass = 4 cm/s = 0.04 m/s

initial velocity = 3 cm/s = 0.03 m/s

Formulating initial value problem

y = viscous force / speed = 2 N / 0.04 m/s = 50 N sec/m

spring constant = mg/ Length of spring = (5 * 9.8) / 0.1 = 490 N/m

f(t) = 10sin(t/2) N

using the initial conditions of u(0) = 0 m and u"(0) = 0.03 m/s to express the equation of motion

the equation of motion = 5u" + 50u' + 490u = 10sin(t/2)
