The missing coordinate r is 11.

Solution:

Given points are (–15, 1) and (–7, r).

$x_{1}=-15, x_{2}=-7, y_{1}=1 \text { and } y_{2}=7$

Slope (m) = $\frac{5}{4}$

<u>To find the missing coordinate r:</u>

Slope formula:

$m=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}$

Substitute the given values in the formula.

$$\frac{5}{4}=\frac{r-1}{-7-(-15)}$

$$\frac{5}{4}=\frac{r-1}{-7+15}$

$$\frac{5}{4}=\frac{r-1}{8}$

Do cross multiplication.

$8 \times 5=4(r-1)$

40 = 4r – 4

Add 4 on both side of the equation.

44 = 4r

Divide by 4 on both side of the equation.

11 = r

⇒ r = 11

Hence the missing coordinate r is 11.

A figure lies entirely in Quadrant I. The figure is reflected in the xx-axis. In which quadrant is the image?

FinnZ [79.3K]

The image would then be in quadrant 3 because say you "folded" the coordinate plane across the x-axis, then the point attached onto the other side of the plane, the point would be in the 3rd quadrant.

Use double integrals to calculate the area inside the ellipse whose semiaxes have length a and b

Stells [14]

The general equation of an ellipse centered at the origin with its semiaxes coinciding with the coordinate axes is given by

$\dfrac{x^2}{a^2}+\dfrac{y^2}{b^2}=1$

Substituting $x=a\cos\theta$ and $y=b\sin\theta$ into the above equation gives the Pythagorean identity, so we can use polar coordinates quite nicely to our advantage.

If $\mathcal E$ is the ellipse with the equation above, the area is given by the double integral

$\displaystyle\iint_{\mathcal E}\mathrm dA=\iint_{(x/a)^2+(y/b)^2\le1}\mathrm dx\,\mathrm dy$

Let $x(r,\theta)=ar\cos\theta$ and $y(r,\theta)=br\sin\theta$ , so that the Jacobian matrix is

$\mathbf J=\begin{bmatrix}x_r&x_\theta\\y_r&y_\theta\end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix}a\cos t&-ar\sin t\\b\sin t&br\cos t\end{bmatrix}$

and the magnitude of its determinant is $|\det\mathbf J|=|abr|=abr$

since in polar coordinates we use the convention that $r\ge0$ , and $a,b>0$ because they are lengths.

Now, the area is given by

$\displaystyle\iint_{\mathcal E}\mathrm dA=\int_{\theta=0}^{\theta=2\pi}\int_{r=0}^{r=1}abr\,\mathrm dr\,\mathrm d\theta$
$=\displaystyle2\pi a b\int_{r=0}^{r=1}r\,\mathrm dr$
$=\pi a b$
