We have the equation:

$9x^2-12x+4=0$

so:

$a=9\qquad b=-12\qquad c=4$

and:

$\Delta=b^2-4ac=(-12)^2-4\cdot9\cdot4=144-144=\boxed{0}$

This equation has one solution.

The graphs of the polar curves r = 4 and r = 3 + 2cosθ are shown in the figure above. The curves intersect at θ = π/3 and θ = 5π

(a)

$\displaystyle \frac{1}{2} \cdot \int_{\frac{\pi}{3}}^{\frac{5\pi}{3}} \left(4^2 - (3 + 2\cos\theta)^2 \right) \, d\theta$

or, via symmetry

$\displaystyle\frac{1}{2} \cdot 2 \int_{\frac{\pi}{3}}^{\pi} \left(4^2 - (3 + 2\cos\theta)^2 \right) \, d\theta$

____________

(b)

By the chain rule:

$\displaystyle \frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{ dy/ d\theta}{ dx/ d\theta}$

For polar coordinates, x = rcosθ and y = rsinθ. Since
<span>r = 3 + 2cosθ, it follows that

$x = (3 + 2\cos\theta) \cos \theta \\ 
y = (3 + 2\cos\theta) \sin \theta$

Differentiating with respect to theta

$\begin{aligned}
\displaystyle \frac{dy}{dx} &= \frac{ dy/ d\theta}{ dx/ d\theta} \\
&= \frac{(3 + 2\cos\theta)(\cos\theta) + (-2\sin\theta)(\sin\theta)}{(3 + 2\cos\theta)(-\sin\theta) + (-2\sin\theta)(\cos\theta)} \\ \\
\left.\frac{dy}{dx}\right_{\theta = \frac{\pi}{2}}
&= 2/3
\end{aligned}$

2/3 is the slope

(c)

"</span><span>distance between the particle and the origin increases at a constant rate of 3 units per second" implies dr/dt = 3

A</span>ngle θ and r are related via <span>r = 3 + 2cosθ, so implicitly differentiating with respect to time

</span><span /> $\displaystyle\frac{dr}{dt} = -2\sin\theta \frac{d\theta}{dt} \quad \stackrel{\theta = \pi/3}{\implies} \quad 3 = -2\left( \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}}\right) \frac{d\theta}{dt} \implies \\ \\ \frac{d\theta}{dt} = -\sqrt{3} \text{ radians per second}$

Write an equation of the line containing the given point and perpendicular to the given line. express your answer in the form y=

katovenus [111]

The given line
4x + y = 5
The slope of the given line is -4

Find the slope of perpendicular line
m₁ × m₂ = -1
-4 × m₂ = -1
m₂ = -1/-4
m₂ = 1/4

Find the equation of perpendicular line
y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)
y - 9 = 1/4(x - 8)
y - 9 = (1/4) x - 2
y = (1/4)x - 2 + 9
y = (1/4)x + 7

You order plant seeds from a catalog. Each packet cost 0.90 each. The shipping charge is 2.50. If you have 18.50 to spend, how m

kramer

<h2>Answer:</h2>

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

Cost per Packet * Number of Packets + Shipping = Amount to Spend

0.90 * b + 2.50 = A

You can spend a maximum of $18.50

A < 18.50

Rearrange the formula to find b

Number of Packets = Amount to Spend - Shipping / Cost per Packet

18.50 - 2.50 = 16.00 / 0.9 = 17.7...

You can't have 0.7 of a packet so you have to round down to 17.

Now if you put it into the original formula:

0.90 * 17 + 2.50 = 17.80

And 17.80 is less than 18.50.
