answer is 7 pigs and 4 chicks

pigs' legs =     7 x 4 = 28

chicks' legs =  4 x 2 = 8

28 + 8 = 36 legs

c = amount of chickens

p = amount of pigs


now, let's recall that chicken have two legs, and pigs have four legs, whatever "c" is, the amount of legs for all chicken is 2*c, or 2c.

the amount of legs for pigs is 4*p or 4p.

we know there are 36 legs total, therefore 2c + 4p = 36.

we also know that there are 11 heads, since each only has one head, then c + p = 11.


\bf \begin{cases}
2c+4p=36\\
c+p=11\implies \boxed{p}=11-c
\end{cases}~\hspace{5em}\stackrel{\textit{using \boxed{p} in the first equation}}{2c+4\left( \boxed{11-c} \right)=36}
\\\\\\
2c+44-4c=36\implies -2c=-8\implies c=\cfrac{-8}{-2}\implies \blacktriangleright c=4 \blacktriangleleft
\\\\\\
\stackrel{p=11-c}{p=11-4}\implies \blacktriangleright p=7 \blacktriangleleft

Find parametric equations for the tangent line to the curve with the given parametric equations at the specified point. x = e^−2
Mekhanik [1.2K]

Answer:

x=1

y=s

z=1

Step-by-step explanation:

(x, y, z)=(1, 0, 1)

Substitute 0 for y

y = e^{-2t} *sin 4t\\0 = e^{-2t} *sin 4t\\\\0 = e^{-2t} *(\frac{e^{4t}-e^{-4t}}{2j} )\\0 = e^{-2t} *(e^{4t}-e^{-4t} )\\0 = e^{-2t} *e^{4t}*(1-e^{-8t} )\\\\0 = e^{2t}*(1-e^{-8t} )\\\\\\Either   \\0 = e^{2t}\\t = -inf\\or\\0 = (1-e^{-8t} )\\(e^{-8t} ) = 1\\ -8t = ln(1) =0\\t=0\\\\

Confirming if t=0 satisfy the other equation

x = e^−2t cos 4t = e^−2(0)cos(4*0)

= e^(0)cos(0) = 1

z = e^−2t  = e^−2(0)  = 0

Therefore t=0 satisfies the other equation

Finding the tangent vector at t=0

\frac{dx}{dt}=-2te^{-2t} cos4t + e^{-2t}(-4sin4t)=-2(0)e^{-2(0)} cos4(0) + e^{-2(0)}(-4sin4(0))=0\\\\ \frac{dy}{dt} =-2te^{-2t} sin4t + e^{-2t}(4cos4t)=-2(0)e^{-2(0)} sin4(0)+ e^{-2(0)(4cos4(0)) }= 1\\\\\frac{dz}{dt}  = -2te^{-2t}  = -2(0)e^{-2(0)}  = 0

The vector equation of the tangent line is

(1, 0, 1) +s(0,1,0)= (1, s, 1)

The parametric equations are:

x=1

y=s

z=1
