The line y=5x+b is tangent to the graph y=/x at the point P= (a,/a) Find P and determine b.

1 answer:

8 0

P = (1/100 , 1/10)
b = 1/20
Equate both equations. Use the substitution y=/x (/ means square root). Obtain an equation in terms of y. 5y2 - y + b = 0 Use b2 - 4ac = 0 for tangent. You'll get the answer for b then replace in equation, overall 5y2 - y + 1/20 = 0. Use the quadratic formula to solve for y. You'll obtain y = 1/10 as answer. Using the substitution y=/x, x=y2, x = (1/10)2 = 1/100, /x = 1/10. 5y2 and (1/10)2 are ...to the square....5y to the power of 2.

What is the length of a kite string that is 6 meters above and 9 meters away from where it is being held? Round to the nearest t

ivann1987 [24]

Answer:

10.8 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

This situation forms a right triangle, where the length of the kite string is the hypotenuse, the distance from where it is held is the long leg, and the height is the short leg.

Use the pythagorean theorem to solve for c, the length of the kite string.

a² + b² = c²

6² + 9² = c²

36 + 81 = c²

117 = c²

10.8 = c

So, the length of the kite string is 10.8 meters
