Answer:

1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

2/3 - 1/6

Subtract the two fractions:

2/3 - 1/6 = 1/2

The answer we get is:

1/2

Divide the numerator by the denominator for the decimal form:

1 ÷ 2 = 0.5

0.5 is our decimal form.

1/2 and 0.5 are our answers.

Find the point (,) on the curve =8 that is closest to the point (3,0). [To do this, first find the distance function between (,)

ELEN [110]

Question:

Find the point (,) on the curve $y = \sqrt x$ that is closest to the point (3,0).

[To do this, first find the distance function between (,) and (3,0) and minimize it.]

Answer:

$(x,y) = (\frac{5}{2},\frac{\sqrt{10}}{2}})$

Step-by-step explanation:

$y = \sqrt x$ can be represented as: $(x,y)$

Substitute $\sqrt x$ for $y$

$(x,y) = (x,\sqrt x)$

So, next:

Calculate the distance between $(x,\sqrt x)$ and $(3,0)$

Distance is calculated as:

$d = \sqrt{(x_1-x_2)^2 + (y_1 - y_2)^2}$

So:

$d = \sqrt{(x-3)^2 + (\sqrt x - 0)^2}$

$d = \sqrt{(x-3)^2 + (\sqrt x)^2}$

Evaluate all exponents

$d = \sqrt{x^2 - 6x +9 + x}$

Rewrite as:

$d = \sqrt{x^2 + x- 6x +9 }$

$d = \sqrt{x^2 - 5x +9 }$

Differentiate using chain rule:

Let

$u = x^2 - 5x +9$

$\frac{du}{dx} = 2x - 5$

So:

$d = \sqrt u$

$d = u^\frac{1}{2}$

$\frac{dd}{du} = \frac{1}{2}u^{-\frac{1}{2}}$

Chain Rule:

$d' = \frac{du}{dx} * \frac{dd}{du}$

$d' = (2x-5) * \frac{1}{2}u^{-\frac{1}{2}}$

$d' = (2x - 5) * \frac{1}{2u^{\frac{1}{2}}}$

$d' = \frac{2x - 5}{2\sqrt u}$

Substitute: $u = x^2 - 5x +9$

$d' = \frac{2x - 5}{2\sqrt{x^2 - 5x + 9}}$

Next, is to minimize (by equating d' to 0)

$\frac{2x - 5}{2\sqrt{x^2 - 5x + 9}} = 0$

Cross Multiply

$2x - 5 = 0$

Solve for x

$2x =5$

$x = \frac{5}{2}$

Substitute $x = \frac{5}{2}$ in $y = \sqrt x$

$y = \sqrt{\frac{5}{2}}$

Split

$y = \frac{\sqrt 5}{\sqrt 2}$

Rationalize

$y = \frac{\sqrt 5}{\sqrt 2} * \frac{\sqrt 2}{\sqrt 2}$

$y = \frac{\sqrt {10}}{\sqrt 4}$

$y = \frac{\sqrt {10}}{2}$

Hence:

$(x,y) = (\frac{5}{2},\frac{\sqrt{10}}{2}})$

A+b=180 A=-2x+115 B=-6x+169 What is the value of B?

natulia [17]

The answer is: " 91 " .
___________________________________________________
→ " B = 91 " .
__________________________________________________

Explanation:
__________________________________________________
Given:
__________________________________________________
" A + B = 180 " ;

"A = -2x + 115 " ; ↔ A = 115 − 2x ;

"B = - 6x + 169 " ; ↔ B = 169 − 6x ;
_____________________________________________________
METHOD 1)
_____________________________________________________
Solve for "x" ; and then plug the solved value for "x" into the expression given for "B" ; to solve for "B"
_____________________________________________________

(115 − 2x) + (169 − 6x) =

115 − 2x + 169 − 6x = ?

→ Combine the "like terms" ; as follows:

+ 115 + 169 = + 284 ;

− 2x − 6x = − 8x ;
_________________________________________________________
And rewrite as:

" − 8x + 284 " ;
_________________________________________________________
→ " - 8x + 284 = 180 " ;

Subtract: "284" from each side of the equation:

 → " - 8x + 284 − 284 = 180 − 284 " ;

to get:

→ " -8x = -104 ;

Divide EACH SIDE of the equation by "-8 " ;
to isolate "x" on one side of the equation; & to solve for "x" ;

→ -8x / -8 = -104/-8 ;

→ x = 13
__________________________________________________________
Now, to find the value of "B" :
__________________________________________________________
 "B = - 6x + 169 " ; ↔ B = 169 − 6x ;

↔ B = 169 − 6x ;

= 169 − 6(13) ; ===========> Plug in our "solved value, "13", for "x" ;

= 169 − (78) ;

= 91 ;

 B = " 91 " .
__________________________________________________
The answer is: " 91 " .
____________________________________________________
→ " B = 91 " .
____________________________________________________
Now; let us check our answer:
____________________________________________________
→ A + B = 180 ;
____________________________________________________
Plug in our "solved answer" ; which is "91", for "B" ; as follows:
________________________________________________________

→ A + 91 = ? 180? ;

↔ A = ? 180 − 91 ? ;

→ A = ? -89 ? Yes!
________________________________________________________
→ " A = -2x + 115 " ; ↔ A = 115 − 2x ;

Plug in our solved value for "x"; which is: "13" ;

" A = 115 − 2x " ;

→ A = ? 115 − 2(13) ? ;

→ A = ? 115 − (26) ? ;

→ A = ? 29 ? Yes!
_________________________________________________
METHOD 2)
_________________________________________________
Given:
__________________________________________________
" A + B = 180 " ;

"A = -2x + 115 " ; ↔ A = 115 − 2x ;

"B = - 6x + 169 " ; ↔ B = 169 − 6x ;

→ Solve for the value of "B" :
_______________________________________________________
A + B = 180 ;

→ B = 180 − A ;

→ B = 180 − (115 − 2x) ;

→ B = 180 − 1(115 − 2x) ; ==========> {Note the "implied value of "1" } ;
__________________________________________________________
Note the "distributive property" of multiplication:__________________________________________________ a(b + c) = ab + ac ; AND:
a(b − c) = ab − ac .________________________________________________________
Let us examine the following part of the problem:
________________________________________________________
→ " − 1(115 − 2x) " ;
________________________________________________________

→ " − 1(115 − 2x) " = (-1 * 115) − (-1 * 2x) ;

= -115 − (-2x) ;

= -115 + 2x ;
________________________________________________________
So we can bring down the: " {"B = 180 " ...}" portion ;

→and rewrite:
_____________________________________________________

→ B = 180 − 115 + 2x ;

→ B = 65 + 2x ;
_____________________________________________________
Now; given: "B = - 6x + 169 " ; ↔ B = 169 − 6x ;

→ " B = 169 − 6x = 65 + 2x " ;
______________________________________________________
→ " 169 − 6x = 65 + 2x "

Subtract "65" from each side of the equation; & Subtract "2x" from each side of the equation:

→ 169 − 6x − 65 − 2x = 65 + 2x − 65 − 2x ;

to get:

→ " - 8x + 104 = 0 " ;

Subtract "104" from each side of the equation:

→ " - 8x + 104 − 104 = 0 − 104 " ;

to get:

→ " - 8x = - 104 ;

Divide each side of the equation by "-8" ;
to isolate "x" on one side of the equation; & to solve for "x" ;

→ -8x / -8 = -104 / -8 ;

to get:

→ x = 13 ;
______________________________________________________

Now, let us solve for: " B " ; → {for which this very question/problem asks!} ;

→ B = 65 + 2x ;

Plug in our solved value, " 13 ", for "x" ;

→ B = 65 + 2(13) ;

= 65 + (26) ;

→ B = " 91 " .
_______________________________________________________
Also, check our answer:
_______________________________________________________
Given: "B = - 6x + 169 " ; ↔ B = 169 − 6x = 91 ;

When "x = 13 " ; does: " B = 91 " ?

→ Plug in our "solved value" of " 13 " for "x" ;

→ to see if: "B = 91" ; (when "x = 13") ;

→ B = 169 − 6x ;

= 169 − 6(13) ;

= 169 − (78)______________________________________________________
→ B = " 91 " .

Ja’ron collected data about the number of students participating in different types of after-school programs. The chart displays

Degger [83]

Answer:

A. Bar graph

Step-by-step explanation:

Since they are all different activities and don't relate you can put different bars to put the different activities and use the left to indicate the amount of students and grow the bar according to the amount of students in that activity; each bar stands for a different activity, the y-intercept is for the amount of students, the bar will grow 'up' according to the amount of students.
