Answer:

$\frac{3}{4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope = change in y ÷ change in x

The line passes through (3,7) and (-1,4)

Slope = $\frac{7 - 4}{3 - -1}$ = $\frac{3}{4}$

For this case we have that by definition, the slope of a line is given by:

$m = \frac {y_ {2} -y_ {1}} {x_ {2} -x_ {1}}$

According to the data we have the following points:

$(x_ {1}, y_ {1}): (- 1,4)\\(x_ {2}, y_ {2}) :( 3,7)$

Substituting we have:

$m = \frac {7-4} {3 - (- 1)} = \frac {3} {3 + 1} = \frac {3} {4}$

Thus, the slope of the line is $\frac {3} {4}$

Answer:

$\frac {3} {4}$

Find the exact length of the curve. x=et+e−t, y=5−2t, 0≤t≤2 For a curve given by parametric equations x=f(t) and y=g(t), arc len

Rama09 [41]

The length of a curve C parameterized by a vector function r(t) = x(t) i + y(t) j over an interval a ≤ t ≤ b is

$\displaystyle\int_C\mathrm ds = \int_a^b \sqrt{\left(\frac{\mathrm dx}{\mathrm dt}\right)^2+\left(\frac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dt}\right)^2} \,\mathrm dt$

In this case, we have

x(t) = exp(t ) + exp(-t ) ==> dx/dt = exp(t ) - exp(-t )

y(t) = 5 - 2t ==> dy/dt = -2

and [a, b] = [0, 2]. The length of the curve is then

$\displaystyle\int_0^2 \sqrt{\left(e^t-e^{-t}\right)^2+(-2)^2} \,\mathrm dt = \int_0^2 \sqrt{e^{2t}-2+e^{-2t}+4}\,\mathrm dt$

$=\displaystyle\int_0^2 \sqrt{e^{2t}+2+e^{-2t}} \,\mathrm dt$

$=\displaystyle\int_0^2\sqrt{\left(e^t+e^{-t}\right)^2} \,\mathrm dt$

$=\displaystyle\int_0^2\left(e^t+e^{-t}\right)\,\mathrm dt$

$=\left(e^t-e^{-t}\right)\bigg|_0^2 = \left(e^2-e^{-2}\right)-\left(e^0-e^{-0}\right) = \boxed{e^2-\frac1{e^2}}$

Can someone please help me with number 2?I don't know what I did wrong.

Dmitry [639]

Part A

Let's say point P is the starting point and point Q is the endpoint

x = one-way distance from P to Q, and vice versa

The goal is to find x, then compute 2x to find the round trip distance traveled.

We'll use this idea

distance = rate*time

which solves to

time = distance/rate

So when going from P to Q, the driver is going 70 mph and travels x miles

So the driver does this for distance/time = x/70 hours.

When going back, the driver slows down to 55 mph so the time taken here is x/55 hours.

The total time values add to x/70 + x/55 hours

Set this equal to the total driving time of 7 hours and solve for x

x/70 + x/55 = 7

70*55*(x/70 + x/55) = 70*55*7

70*55*(x/70) + 70*55*(x/55) = 26,950

55x + 70x = 26,950

125x = 26,950

x = (26,950)/125

x = 215.6 which is the one-way distance in miles

which then means,

2x = 2*215.6 = 431.2

Therefore, the total distance traveled is 431.2 miles

<h3>Answer: 431.2 miles</h3>

=========================================================

Part B

To find the duration of each trip, we simply need to evaluate x/70 and x/55. Those are the durations when going 70 mph and 55 mph respectively. These durations are measured in hours.

x/70 = (215.6)/70 = 3.08

x/55 = (215.6)/55 = 3.92

Note how 3.08+3.92 = 7 to help verify the answers.

<h3>Answers:</h3>

When going 70 mph, it takes about 3.08 hours
When going 55 mph, it takes about 3.92 hours
