recall that the perimeter is simply the sum of all outer sides of a figure.

$\bf 12+3x+10+(x+1)+(2x+3)=62\implies 6x+26=62 \\\\\\ 6x=36\implies x=\cfrac{36}{6}\implies \boxed{x=6} \\\\\\ BC=(6)+1\implies BC=7$

For what values of θ on the polar curve r=θ, with 0≤θ≤2π , are the tangent lines horizontal? Vertical?

Bond [772]

Given that $r=\theta$ , then $r'=1$

The slope of a tangent line in the polar coordinate is given by:

$m= \frac{r'\sin\theta+r\cos\theta}{r'\cos\theta-r\sin\theta}$

Thus, we have:

$m= \frac{\sin\theta+\theta\cos\theta}{\cos\theta-\theta\sin\theta}$

Part A:

For horizontal tangent lines, m = 0.

Thus, we have:

$\sin\theta+\theta\cos\theta=0 \\ \\ \theta\cos\theta=-\sin\theta \\ \\ \theta=- \frac{\sin\theta}{\cos\theta} =-\tan\theta$

Therefore, the values of θ on the polar curve r = θ, with 0 ≤ θ ≤ 2π, such that the tangent lines are horizontal are:

θ = 0

θ = 2.02875783811043

θ = 4.91318043943488

Part B:

For vertical tangent lines, $\frac{1}{m} =0$

Thus, we have:

$\cos\theta-\theta\sin\theta=0 \\ \\ \Rightarrow\theta\sin\theta=\cos\theta \\ \\ \Rightarrow\theta= \frac{\cos\theta}{\sin\theta} =\sec\theta$

Therefore, the values of θ on the polar curve r = θ, with 0 ≤ θ ≤ 2π, such that the tangent lines are vertical are:

θ = 4.91718592528713

What is the ratio 15 :24 written in the lowest terms

Charra [1.4K]

15:24 to the lowest term is 5:8. This is because you divide each number by the same number. You will divided 15 and 24 by 3 to get 5:8.

neonofarm [45]

5/20 students in Alessandro's class live in Oakdale, which can be simplified to 1/4. 1/4 in decimal form is 0.25. Now to convert it to a percentage, you just multiply that by 100. So 25% of students in Alessandro's class live in Oakdale.

Answer:

(x^4) - 64x

Step-by-step explanation:

zeros at 4 and 0 are the roots so can be factor as x*(x-4) and the multiplicity tels to what power you have to raise those factors

$x^{1} *(x-4)^{3}$ becuase multiplicity of 1 for root at 0, and multiplicity of 3 at root 4
