Answer:

It's supposed to be 4-7/1-8

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for slope is y1 - y2 / x1 - x2 (subscript). So you would take the y value from (8,7) which is 7, and subtract by the y value from (1,4), which is 4. You do the same for the x values and you get 7-4/8-1, which is 3/7.

Compare the values and order them from least to greatest ???

Dafna1 [17]

Item A and B are in decimal format, convert Item C to decimal by changing the fraction to a decimal by dividing 11 by 16:

11 / 16 = 0.6875

This makes Item C 3.6875

Now you have the 3 items as decimal format now put them in order from smallest to largest:

3.65, 3.6875, 4.1

Item A, Item C, Item B

Find the length of the curve. R(t) = cos(8t) i + sin(8t) j + 8 ln cos t k, 0 ≤ t ≤ π/4

arsen [322]

we are given

$R(t)=cos(8t)i+sin(8t)j+8ln(cos(t))k$

now, we can find x , y and z components

$x=cos(8t),y=sin(8t),z=8ln(cos(t))$

Arc length calculation:

we can use formula

$L=\int\limits^a_b {\sqrt{(x')^2+(y')^2+(z')^2} } \, dt$

$x'=-8sin(8t),y=8cos(8t),z=-8tan(t)$

now, we can plug these values

$L=\int _0^{\frac{\pi }{4}}\sqrt{(-8sin(8t))^2+(8cos(8t))^2+(-8tan(t))^2} dt$

now, we can simplify it

$L=\int _0^{\frac{\pi }{4}}\sqrt{64+64tan^2(t)} dt$

$L=\int _0^{\frac{\pi }{4}}8\sqrt{1+tan^2(t)} dt$

$L=\int _0^{\frac{\pi }{4}}8\sqrt{sec^2(t)} dt$

$L=\int _0^{\frac{\pi }{4}}8sec(t) dt$

now, we can solve integral

$\int \:8\sec \left(t\right)dt$

$=8\ln \left|\tan \left(t\right)+\sec \left(t\right)\right|$

now, we can plug bounds

and we get

$=8\ln \left(\sqrt{2}+1\right)-0$

so,

$L=8\ln \left(1+\sqrt{2}\right)$ ..............Answer

F(x)=(x-2)-5 what is the transformation

Grace [21]

Down 5, right 2

If it's within the parentheses with the x, then it moves left/right. left if +, right if -

If it's outside the parentheses, you go up and down. up if +, down if -
