A city planner makes a scale drawing of a proposed playground. The length of the actual playground is 78 feet, and the width is

42 feet. Suppose a scale of 0.5 inch = 6 feet is used. Which dimensions represent the playground on the scale drawing? A) 4.5 inches by 7 inches B) 6.5 inches by 3.5 inches C) 8 inches by 4 inches D) 9.2 inches by 5.5 inches

Answer: B) 6.5 inches by 3.5 inchesStep-by-step explanation:Multiplying the actual dimensions by the scale gives the scale dimensions: (0.5 in)/(6 ft) × {78 ft, 42 ft} = {39/6 in, 21/6 in} = {6.5 in, 3.5 in}The size on the scale drawing is 6.5 inches by 3.5 inches.

Answer:

B) 6.5 inches by 3.5 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiplying the actual dimensions by the scale gives the scale dimensions:

(0.5 in)/(6 ft) × {78 ft, 42 ft}

= {39/6 in, 21/6 in}

= {6.5 in, 3.5 in}

The size on the scale drawing is 6.5 inches by 3.5 inches.

Solve the following system of equations<br>2x – 3y = 6<br>4x+2y=4

FinnZ [79.3K]

Answer:

$\boxed{(\frac{3}{2} ,-1)}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\left \{ {{2x-3y=6} \atop {4x+2y=4}} \right.$

It seems this system of equations would be solved easier using the elimination method (the x and y values are lined up).

Multiply everything in the first equation by -2 (we want the 4x to be able to cancel out with a -4x).

$2x-3y=6 \rightarrow -4x+6y=-12$

Now line up the equations (they are already lined up - convenient) and add them from top to bottom.

$\left \{ {{-4x+6y=-12} \atop {4x+2y=4}} \right.$

The -4x and 4x are opposites, so they cancel out.

Adding 6y and 2y gives you 8y, and adding -12 and 4 gives you -8.

$8y=-8$

Divide both sides by 8.

$y=-1$

Since you have the y-value you can substitute this in to the second (or first equation, it doesn't necessarily matter) equation.

$4x +2(-1)=4$

Simplify.

$4x -2=4$

Add 2 to both sides.

$4x=6$

Divide both sides by 4.

$x=\frac{6}{4} \rightarrow\frac{3}{2}$

The final answer is $x=\frac{3}{2} ,~y=-1$ .

$(\frac{3}{2} ,-1)$

find the slope of the curve y=x^2-2x-5 at the point P(2,5) by finding the limit of secant slopes through point P

Fynjy0 [20]

The point (2, 5) is not on the curve; probably you meant to say (2, -5)?

Consider an arbitrary point Q on the curve to the right of P, $(t,y(t))=(t,t^2-2t-5)$ , where $t>2$ . The slope of the secant line through P and Q is given by the difference quotient,

$\dfrac{(t^2-2t-5)-(-5)}{t-2}=\dfrac{t^2-2t}{t-2}=\dfrac{t(t-2)}{t-2}=t$

where we are allowed to simplify because $t\neq2$ .

Then the equation of the secant line is

$y-(-5)=t(x-2)\implies y=t(x-2)-5$

Taking the limit as $t\to2$ , we have

$\displaystyle\lim_{t\to2}t(x-2)-5=2(x-2)-5=2x-9$

so the slope of the line tangent to the curve at P as slope 2.

- - -

We can verify this with differentiation. Taking the derivative, we get

$\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dx}=2x-2$

and at $x=2$ , we get a slope of $2(2)-2=2$ , as expected.
