The easiest way to tell whether lines are parallel, perpendicular, or neither is when they are written in slope-intercept form or y = mx + b. We will begin by putting both of our equations into this format.

The first equation, y =  \frac{1}{2}x - 1 is already in slope intercept form. The slope is 1/2 and the y-intercept is -1.

The second equation requires rearranging.
y + 4 =  -\frac{1}{2}(x - 2) \\ y + 4 = -\frac{1}{2}x + 1 \\ y = - \frac{1}{2} x- 3
From this equation, we can see that the slope is -1/2 and the y-intercept is -3.

When lines are parallel, they have the same slope. This is not the case with these lines because one has slope of 1/2 and the other has slope of -1/2. Since these are not the same our lines are not parallel.

When lines are perpendicular, the slope of one is the negative reciprocal of the other. That is, if one had slope 2, the other would have slope -1/2. This also is not the case in this problem.

Thus, we conclude that the lines are neither parallel nor perpendicular.

We are given the equation: g(s,t) = t^2 e^s

Which is subject to the constraint: s^2 + t^2=3

 

The points (x,y) that will maximize g(s,t) will be the points that will satisfy the equation ∇f(x, y, z) = λ∇g(x, y, z), therefore:

2 t e^s = λ (2 t), so  e^s = λ           --> 1

t^2 e^s = λ (2 s)                                                --> 2

s^2 + t^2 = 3                                       -->3

 

To solve this problem, note that λ cannot be zero by equation 1 since e^s can never be zero. Therefore plug in equation 1 to 2:

t^2 e^s = (e^s) (2 s)       

t^2 = 2 s                                               --> 4

 

Plug in equation 4 to 3:

s^2 + 2s = 3

 

By completing the square:

s^2 + 2s + 1 = 4

(s + 1)^2 = 4

s + 1 = ±2

s = -3, 1

 

Calculating for t using equation 4:

when s = -3

t^2 = 2(-3)

t = sqrt(-6)

Since t is imaginary, therefore s=-3 is not a solution

 

when s = 1

t^2 = 2(1)

t = sqrt(2) = ±1.414

 

Therefore the maxima and minima points are at:

(1, -1.414) and (1, 1.414)

 

g(1, -1.414)=(-1.414)^2 e^(1) = 5.434

g(1, -1.414)=( 1.414)^2 e^(1) = 5.434

Which statement is correct when a scatterplot is constructed?The independent variable is the input variable and should be repres
lions [1.4K]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

The correct statement that is used when a scatter plot is constructed is:

The independent variable is the input variable and should be represented by the x-axis.

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

We know that while plotting a graph or a scatter plot the x-axis which is the horizontal axis of the plot represents the input value or the value of the independent variable and the output value i.e. the value of the function corresponding to the input value is represented by the y-axis.

As the value of the output is evaluated corresponding to the input value hence the variable y is also known as the dependent variable and is represented by the y-axis.
