Ok, here we go.  Pay attention.  The formula for the arc length is AL= \int\limits^b_a { \sqrt{1+( \frac{dy}{dx})^2 } } \, dx.  That means that to use that formula we have to find the derivative of the function and square it.  Our function is y = 4x-5, so y'=4.  Our formula now, filled in accordingly, is AL= \int\limits^2_1 { \sqrt{1+4^2} } \, dx (that 1 is supposed to be negative; not sure if it is til I post the final answer).  After the simplification we have the integral from -1 to 2 of \sqrt{17}.  Integrating that we have AL= \sqrt{17}x from -1 to 2.  2 \sqrt{17}-(-1 \sqrt{17} ) gives us 3 \sqrt{17}.  Now we need to do the distance formula with this.  But we need 2 coordinates for that.  Our bounds are x=-1 and x=2.  We will fill those x values in to the function and solve for y.  When x = -1, y=4(-1)-5 and y = -9.  So the point is (-1, -9).  Doing the same with x = 2, y=4(2)-5 and y = 3.  So the point is (2, 3).  Use those in the distance formula accordingly: d= \sqrt{(2-(-1))^2+(3-(-9))^2} which simplifies to d= \sqrt{9+144}= \sqrt{153}.  The square root of 153 can be simplified into the square root of 9*17.  Pulling out the perfect square of 9 as a 3 leaves us with 3 \sqrt{17}.  And there you go!

The sum of two positive integers, a and b, is at least 30. The difference of the two integers is at least 10. If b is th
Dafna11 [192]

Answer:

a + b \geq 30

b - a \geq 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

The sum of the two positive integer a and b is at least 30, this means the sum of the two positive integer is 30 or greater than 30, so we write the inequalities as below.

a + b \geq 30

The difference of the two integers is at least 10, if b is the greater integer then we subtract integer a from integer b, so we write the inequality as below.

b - a \geq 10

Therefore, the following system of inequalities could represent the values of two positive integers a and b.

a + b \geq 30

b - a \geq 10

Solve for b:<br>10abc - 2d = 3d​
gulaghasi [49]

Answer:

b = d/(2ac)

Step-by-step explanation:

10abc - 2d = 3d

Add 2d to each side

10abc - 2d+2d = 3d+2d

10 abc = 5d

Divide each side by 10ac

10 abc/ (10ac) = 5d/10ac

b = d/(2ac)

Solve for a: b − 2a = c
vlada-n [284]

Answer:

a=-\frac{c-b}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

Solving for the variable a, given that :

b-2a=c

We can first start start by subtracting b from both sides of the equation:

-2a=c-b

Now, we can divide both sides of the equation by the coefficient of a, which would be -2:

a=\frac{c}{-2}-\frac{b}{-2}

Applying the fraction rule \frac{a}{c}\pm\frac{b}{c} =\frac{a\pm b}{c}:

a=\frac{c-b}{-2}

Then, apply the fraction rule \frac{a}{-b} =-\frac{a}{b}

a=-\frac{c-b}{2}
