Answer:

a = 2, b = - 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

y = ax² + bx

\frac{dy}{dx} is the measure of the slope at x = a

Differentiate each term with respect to x using the power rule

\frac{d}{dx}(ax^{n} ) = nax^{n-1}

\frac{dy}{dx} = 2ax + b, hence

2ax + b = 3 at (2, - 2)

Substitute x = 2 into \frac{dy}{dx}

4a + b = 3 → (1) and substitute x = 2 into y

4a + 2b = - 2 → (2)

Subtract ( 1) from (2)

b = - 2 - 3 = - 5

Substitute b = - 5 into (1)

4a - 5 = 3 ( add 5 to both sides )

4a = 8 ( divide both sides by 4 )

a = 2

Matt and Anna Killian are frequent fliers on​ Fast-n-Go Airlines. They often fly between two cities that are a distance of 1980
Ymorist [56]

Answer:

y (plane speed) 400 miles/hr

x (wind speed)  40 miles/hr

Step-by-step explanation:

going into the wind make the plane flew 5,5 hours to get 1980 miles, implies the real travel speed was

1980 / 5,5 = 360 miles/hours, and at the same time is the result of:  

speed plane (y)  in direction A to B  plus wind speed (x) in direction B to A. Notice opposites direction speed, so we have:

y + (-x) = 360          (1)

The return fly  took 4,5 hours so 1980/4,5 = 440 miles/ hours as the result

Y + x = 440             (2)

We have a two equation with two variables system, It could be solved for any of the procedures. We will use the substitution method.

From equation      (1)        y + (-x) = 360         y  - x = 360      y = 360 + x    (1)

In the second equation    

y + x = 440         then we replace y for its value as function of x

(360 + x ) + x = 440

Solving for x        360 + 2x = 440      or    2x = 440 – 360        

 x   (440 - 360)/2

 x = 40 miles/hr

 X (wind speed ) = 40 miles/hr

And replacing the value of x in eq. (1)        y = 360 + 40 = 400

Y (plane speed) = 400 miles /hr

Which is the equation for the line perpendicular to y = –5/3 x + 11 1/3 and containing P(–2, 3)?
kati45 [8]
Okay, to answer this question, 
<span>Perpendicular lines have slopes that are inverse of one another and with opposite signs so, 
If a line has a slope of m= -2 than a perpendicular line will have slope m=1/2
If a line has a slope of m= -3/4 than a perpendicular line will have slope m=4/3 If a line has a slope of m= 6 than a perpendicular line will have slope m=-1/6

So, just find the slope of your line, using it, get the slope of the line that will be perpendicular and then just get the equation for a line that has that slope and passes through point (-2,3) using: y - y1 = m(x - x1)
I hope I helped you with my answer</span>

Find all x ∈ Z satisfying each of the following equations.3x = 2 (mod 7)
Vlada [557]

Answer:

7x−3=7k,x=7k+3,k∈ℤ

Step-by-step explanation:

3x ≡ 2 (mod 7)

3 is a solution, since 3×3−2=7.

All solutions are 3+7ℤ

y=3x−2/7=3(x−3)+7/7=3(x−3)/7+1

7x−3=7k,x=7k+3,k∈ℤ
