Given:
tan x = 3/y
cos x = y/z
Because tan x = sin(x)/cos(x), therefore
sin x = tan(x)*cos(x)
= (3/y)*(y/z)
= 3/z
Answer: a) sin x = 3/z
Just substitute the coordinates
Eliminate the parameter t:t=y/2
x=y^2/2+3
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Given quadratic function:</u>
<u>Points on the graph:</u>
- (-2,-35), (1,-5), (3,- 15)
<u>Substitute values of x and y and solve the system of equations:</u>
- -35 = a(-2)² + b(-2) + c ⇒ -35 = 4a - 2b + c ⇔ eq 1
- -5 = a(1)² + b(1) + c ⇒ -5 = a + b + c ⇔ eq 2
- -15 = a(3)² + b(3) + c ⇒ -15 = 9a + 3b + c ⇔ eq 3
<u>Subtract eq 2 from eq 1:</u>
- -35 - (-5) = 4a - 2b + c - a - b - c
- -30 = 3a - 3b
- b = a + 10 ⇔ eq 4
<u>Subtract eq 2 from eq 3:</u>
- -15 - (-5) = 9a + 3b + c - a - b - c
- -10 = 8a + 2b
- b = -4a - 5 ⇔ eq 5
<u>Compare eq 4 and eq 5, solve for a:</u>
- a + 10 = -4a - 5
- a + 4a = -5 - 10
- 5a = -15
- a = -3
<u>Find the value of b using eq 4:</u>
<u>Find the value of c using eq 2:</u>
- -5 = -3 + 7 + c
- c = -5 - 4
- c = -9
<u>We now have a, b and c:, the function is:</u>
f(p) where p is the price in thousands. f(250) means the average number of days before being sold for $250,000. Lets take a look at the answers and see which fits the best:
1. The house sold for $250,000. (This is what the 250 stands for, but we need to find what f(250) means and not just 250)
2. The house stayed on the market for an average of 250 days before being sold. (Nope, not even close)
3. This is the average number of days the house stayed on the market before being sold for $250,000. (Yes! This seems right, f(250) is the average number of days before being sold for $250,000)
4. The house sold on the market for $250,000 and stayed on the market for an average of 250 days before being sold. (Nope, we are not told anywhere that it takes 250 days to be sold)
This means that our answer has to be 3) This is the average number of days the house stayed on the market before being sold for $250,000.
I hope I've helped! :)
