A (0, 2) and B (6,6) are points on the straight line ABCD.

elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Answer:

(18, 14)

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that C and D lie on the line AB and BC = CD = AB. Then we need to use the distance formula and equation of the line AB to find the other two coordinates.

The distance formula states that the distance between two points $(x_1,y_1)$ and $(x_2,y_2)$ , the distance is denoted by: $\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}$ . Let's find the distance between A and B:

d = $\sqrt{(6-0)^2+(6-2)^2}=\sqrt{6^2+4^2} =\sqrt{36+16} =\sqrt{52} =2\sqrt{13}$

Now say the coordinates of D are (a, b). Then the distance between D and B will be twice of 2√13, which is 4√13:

4√13 = $\sqrt{(6-a)^2+(6-b)^2}$

Square both sides:

208 = (6 - a)² + (6 - b)²

Let's also find the equation of the line AB. The y-intercept we know is 2, so in y = mx + b, b = 2. The slope is (6 - 2) / (6 - 0) = 4/6 = 2/3. So the equation of the line is: y = (2/3)x + 2. Since (a, b) lines on this line, we can put in a for x and b for y: b = (2/3)a + 2. Substitute this expression in for b in the previous equation:

208 = (6 - a)² + (6 - b)²

208 = (6 - a)² + (6 - (2/3a + 2))² = (6 - a)² + (-2/3a + 4)²

208 = a² - 12a + 36 + 4/9a² - 16/3a + 16 = 13/9a² - 52/3a + 52

0 = 13/9a² - 52/3a - 156

13a² - 156a - 1404 = 0

a² - 12a - 108 = 0

(a + 6)(a - 18) = 0

a = -6 or a = 18

We know a can't be negative so a = 18. Plug this back in to find b:

b = 2/3a + 2 = (2/3) * 18 + 2 = 12 + 2 = 14

So point D has coordinates (18, 14).

alfred deposited $893.78 in a savings account that earns 2.2% simple interest. What is alfreds account balance after seven years

ASHA 777 [7]

Hello! The formula for finding simple interest is prt. That means multiply the principal (initial amount) by the rate (percentage) by time (months or years). The principal is $893.78 and the interest rate is 2.2%. 893.78 * 2.2% (0.022) is 19.66316. Do not delete that number. The time is 7 years. Now multiply that number by 7 in order to get 137.64212 or $137.64 when rounded to the nearest whole hundredth. Now, let's add both numbers. 893.78 + 137.64 is 1,031.42. There. Alfred's balance after seven years is $1,031.42.

The square root of 7 lies between what two numbers

ExtremeBDS [4]

The square root of 7 would like between 2 and 3. This is because 2 x 2 is 4's square root and 3 x 3 is nine's square root. Seven is between four and nine.

Let f be defined by the function f(x) = 1/(x^2+9)

riadik2000 [5.3K]

(a)

$\displaystyle\int_3^\infty \frac{\mathrm dx}{x^2+9}=\lim_{b\to\infty}\int_{x=3}^{x=b}\frac{\mathrm dx}{x^2+9}$

Substitute x = 3 tan(t ) and dx = 3 sec²(t ) dt :

$\displaystyle\lim_{b\to\infty}\int_{t=\arctan(1)}^{t=\arctan\left(\frac b3\right)}\frac{3\sec^2(t)}{(3\tan(t))^2+9}\,\mathrm dt=\frac13\lim_{b\to\infty}\int_{t=\arctan(1)}^{t=\arctan\left(\frac b3\right)}\mathrm dt$

$=\displaystyle \frac13 \lim_{b\to\infty}\left(\arctan\left(\frac b3\right)-\arctan(1)\right)=\boxed{\dfrac\pi{12}}$

(b) The series

$\displaystyle \sum_{n=3}^\infty \frac1{n^2+9}$

converges by comparison to the convergent p-series,

$\displaystyle\sum_{n=3}^\infty\frac1{n^2}$

$\displaystyle \sum_{n=1}^\infty \frac{(-1)^n (n^2+9)}{e^n}$

converges absolutely, since

$\displaystyle \sum_{n=1}^\infty \left|\frac{(-1)^n (n^2+9)}{e^n}\right|=\sum_{n=1}^\infty \frac{n^2+9}{e^n} < \sum_{n=1}^\infty \frac{n^2}{e^n} < \sum_{n=1}^\infty \frac1{e^n}=\frac1{e-1}$

That is, ∑ (-1)ⁿ (n ² + 9)/eⁿ converges absolutely because ∑ |(-1)ⁿ (n ² + 9)/eⁿ| = ∑ (n ² + 9)/eⁿ in turn converges by comparison to a geometric series.
