What is the equation that represents the line?
Kryger [21]

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Calculate m using the slope formula

m = (y₂ - y₁ ) / (x₂ - x₁ )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 2, - 6) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (2, - 3) ← 2 points on the line

m = \frac{-3+6}{2+2} = \frac{3}{4}, thus

y = \frac{3}{4} x + c ← is the partial equation

To find c substitute either ot the 2 points into the partial equation

Using (2, - 3), then

- 3 = \frac{3}{2} + c ⇒ c = - 3 - \frac{3}{2} = - \frac{9}{2}

y = \frac{3}{4} x - \frac{9}{2} ← equation of line

Given the two vertices and the centroids of a triangle, how many possible locations are there for the third vertex?
hoa [83]

Answer:

  1

Step-by-step explanation:

The centroid is the average of the coordinates of the three vertices. If you know two vertices (A and B) and the centroid (Q), then the third vertex (C) is ...

  C = 3Q -A -B

It has only one possible location.

Find the critical points of the function f(x, y) = 8y2x − 8yx2 + 9xy. Determine whether they are local minima, local maxima, or
NARA [144]

Answer:

Saddle point: (0,0)

Local minimum: (\frac{3}{8}, -\frac{3}{8})

Local maxima: (0,-\frac{9}{8}), (\frac{9}{8},0)

Step-by-step explanation:

The function is:

f(x,y) = 8\cdot y^{2}\cdot x -8\cdot y\cdot x^{2} + 9\cdot x \cdot y

The partial derivatives of the function are included below:

\frac{\partial f}{\partial x} = 8\cdot y^{2}-16\cdot y\cdot x+9\cdot y

\frac{\partial f}{\partial x} = y \cdot (8\cdot y -16\cdot x + 9)

\frac{\partial f}{\partial y} = 16\cdot y \cdot x - 8 \cdot x^{2} + 9\cdot x

\frac{\partial f}{\partial y} = x \cdot (16\cdot y - 8\cdot x + 9)

Local minima, local maxima and saddle points are determined by equalizing  both partial derivatives to zero.

y \cdot (8\cdot y -16\cdot x + 9) = 0

x \cdot (16\cdot y - 8\cdot x + 9) = 0

It is quite evident that one point is (0,0). Another point is found by solving the following system of linear equations:

\left \{ {{-16\cdot x + 8\cdot y=-9} \atop {-8\cdot x + 16\cdot y=-9}} \right.

The solution of the system is (3/8, -3/8).

Let assume that y = 0, the nonlinear system is reduced to a sole expression:

x\cdot (-8\cdot x + 9) = 0

Another solution is (9/8,0).

Now, let consider that x = 0, the nonlinear system is now reduced to this:

y\cdot (8\cdot y+9) = 0

Another solution is (0, -9/8).

The next step is to determine whether point is a local maximum, a local minimum or a saddle point. The second derivative test:

H = \frac{\partial^{2} f}{\partial x^{2}} \cdot \frac{\partial^{2} f}{\partial y^{2}} - \frac{\partial^{2} f}{\partial x \partial y}

The second derivatives of the function are:

\frac{\partial^{2} f}{\partial x^{2}} = 0

\frac{\partial^{2} f}{\partial y^{2}} = 0

\frac{\partial^{2} f}{\partial x \partial y} = 16\cdot y -16\cdot x + 9

Then, the expression is simplified to this and each point is tested:

H = -16\cdot y +16\cdot x -9

S1: (0,0)

H = -9 (Saddle Point)

S2: (3/8,-3/8)

H = 3 (Local maximum or minimum)

S3: (9/8, 0)

H = 9 (Local maximum or minimum)

S4: (0, - 9/8)

H = 9 (Local maximum or minimum)

Unfortunately, the second derivative test associated with the function does offer an effective method to distinguish between local maximum and local minimums. A more direct approach is used to make a fair classification:

S2: (3/8,-3/8)

f(\frac{3}{8} ,-\frac{3}{8} ) = - \frac{27}{64} (Local minimum)

S3: (9/8, 0)

f(\frac{9}{8},0) = 0 (Local maximum)

S4: (0, - 9/8)

f(0,-\frac{9}{8} ) = 0 (Local maximum)

Saddle point: (0,0)

Local minimum: (\frac{3}{8}, -\frac{3}{8})

Local maxima: (0,-\frac{9}{8}), (\frac{9}{8},0)
