Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
A <u>helix</u> is a curve for which the tangent makes a constant angle with a fixed line. The shortest path between two points on a cylinder (one not directly above the other) is a fractional turn of a helix, as can be seen by cutting the cylinder along one of its sides, flattening it out, and noting that a straight line connecting the points becomes helical upon re-wrapping (see attached diagram for helix).
The parametrization for the helix is

where
is the radius of the helix,
is the constant, and
is the parameter
Answer: X = 20
Step-by-step explanation:
7x - 99 = 2x + 1 --Take 2x from both sides
-2x -2x
5x - 99 = 1 -- add 99 to both
+99 +99
5x = 100 --Divide by 5
÷5 ÷5
x = 20
