Step-by-step explanation:

A(promotional sign)b

A=kb

4=21k

K=0. 1904

A=0. 2b

A=0. 2×7

A=1. 4

Step-by-step explanation:

a varies directly with b

a ∞ b

a = Kb

K is the constant of proportionality

If a = 4 when b = 21

4 = 21×k

4 = 21k

k = 4/21

: - a = 4b/21

find a when b= 7.

a = 4(7)/21

a = 4/3

a = 1 1/3

You are given the parametric equations x=2cos(θ),y=sin(2θ). (a) List all of the points (x,y) where the tangent line is horizonta

Answer:

The solutions listed from the smallest to the greatest are:

x: $-\sqrt{2}$ $-\sqrt{2}$ $\sqrt{2}$ $\sqrt{2}$

y: -1 1 -1 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of the tangent line at a point of the curve is:

$m = \frac{\frac{dy}{dt} }{\frac{dx}{dt} }$

$m = -\frac{\cos 2\theta}{\sin \theta}$

The tangent line is horizontal when $m = 0$ . Then:

$\cos 2\theta = 0$

$2\theta = \cos^{-1}0$

$\theta = \frac{1}{2}\cdot \cos^{-1} 0$

$\theta = \frac{1}{2}\cdot \left(\frac{\pi}{2}+i\cdot \pi \right)$ , for all $i \in \mathbb{N}_{O}$

$\theta = \frac{\pi}{4} + i\cdot \frac{\pi}{2}$ , for all $i \in \mathbb{N}_{O}$

The first four solutions are:

x: $\sqrt{2}$ $-\sqrt{2}$ $-\sqrt{2}$ $\sqrt{2}$

y: 1 -1 1 -1

The solutions listed from the smallest to the greatest are:

x: $-\sqrt{2}$ $-\sqrt{2}$ $\sqrt{2}$ $\sqrt{2}$

y: -1 1 -1 1

If you know anything about combining equations, specifically subtracting, can you please help me :)

Rufina [12.5K]

Answer:

5x - 2y = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

When subtracting one equation from the other, we are essentially just subtracting the left side of the second equation from the left side of the first equation and doing the same thing with the two right sides.

Here, we are subtracting (-7x + 3y) from (-2x + y):

(-2x + y) - (-7x + 3y)

Let's get rid of these parentheses. Remember that when we have a subtraction sign before a parentheses, we need to distribute a -1 to each term within those parentheses:

(-2x + y) - (-7x + 3y) = -2x + y + 7x - 3y = -2x + 7x + y - 3y = 5x - 2y

Now on the right side, we're subtracting 2 from 0:

0 - 2 = -2

Put it all together:

5x - 2y = -2

Hope this helps!
