Write the equation of the lines in slope-intercept form (y=mx+b)
First equation: It is already in slope-intercept form
Second equation: solve y:
Identify the slope of each line:
If two or more lines have the same slope then the lines are parallel
If two lines have slopes that are negative reciprocals then the lines are perpendicular
The two given lines have the same slope: 2/5. Then, they are parallel lines
Answer:
a) In other words, the equation 3x4−8x3+2=0 has a root in [2,3]
b) x≈2.630020
Step-by-step explanation:
If points f and g are symmetric with respect to the line y=x, then the line connecting f and g is perpendicular to y=x, and f and g are equidistant from y=x.
This problem could be solved graphically by graphing y=x and (8,-1). With a ruler, measure the perpendicular distance from y=x of (8,-1), and then plot point g that distance from y=x in the opposite direction. Read the coordinates of point g from the graph.
Alternatively, calculate the distance from y=x of (8,-1). As before, this distance is perpendicular to y=x and is measured along the line y= -x + b, where b is the vertical intercept of this line. What is b? y = -x + b must be satisfied by (8,-1): -1 = -8 + b, or b = 7. Then the line thru (8,-1) perpendicular to y=x is y = -x + 7. Where does this line intersect y = x?
y = x = y = -x + 7, or 2x = 7, or x = 3.5. Since y=x, the point of intersection of y=x and y= -x + 7 is (3.5, 3.5).
Use the distance formula to determine the distance between (3.5, 3.5) and (8, -1). This produces the answer to this question.
<span>(a) At the end of Month 0, about how many more insects were in Pod A than Pod B? Explain.
In Pod A, the point is higher than 50, it could be 60 to 70 insects. Pod B has 20 insects. So, Pod A has at least 40 insects more than Pod B.
(b) Find and compare the growth rates of each pod. Show your work.
Pod A: (0,60) ; (1,80) ; (2,100)
(80-60)/60 = 0.33
(100-80)/80 = 0.25
Pod B: (0,20) ; (1,44) ; (2,97)
(44-20)/20 = 1.2
(97-44)/44 = 1.2
Based on my computation, the rate of Pod A is lower than the rate of Pod B.
(c) When does the population in Pod B exceed the population in Pod A? Explain.
Pob B exceeds the population of Pod A at the END OF MONTH 4.
Pod A has a population of less than 200 while Pod B has a population of 469.</span>
