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:

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

BC = Round your answer to the nearest hundredth. ? C B 50° 7 А

umka21 [38]

Answer:

The answer is 8.34

U have to use the SOH CAH TOA method

In this case I used tan

so,

tan 50= BC/7

solve for BC= 7* tan 50= 8.34

Two families went to the event. The first family bought two children's tickets and one adult ticket and paid a total of 8.2 euro

blagie [28]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

step a system of two equations c = child ticket a = adult ticket

eq 1) 2c + 1a = 8.2 multiply by 2

eq 2) 3c + 2a = 14.1

I will multiply eq 1 times TWO and subtract eq 2 from eq 1a)

eq 1a) 4c + 2a = 16.4

eq 2) 3c + 2a = 14.1

subtract (4c - 3c) + (2a -2a) = 16.4 - 14.1

c + 0 = 2.3 euros for one child ticket

Now find the adult ticket price, plug 2.3 for c into eq 1)

eq 1) 2c + 1a = 8.2

eq 1) 2(2.3) + 1a = 8.2 solve for a

4.6 + a = 8.2 substract 4.6 from both sides

a = 8.2 - 4.6

= 3.6 euros for one adult ticket

double check using eq 2) we know c and a values

eq 2) 3c + 2a = 14.1

eq 2) 3(2.3) + 2(3.6) = 14.1

6.9 + 7.2 = 14.1

14.1 = 14.1

Ponderosa Paint and Glass carries three brands of paint. A customer wants to buy another gallon of paint to match paint she purc

sveta [45]

Answer:

$\frac{4}{9}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Two events are independent of each other, this is called Compound Probability. Classical example is if two coins are filped, what is the probability of getting two heads in a row.?

Answer: each has 50% probability because there are two states only, either H or T. since we have two coins the probability of getting two heads in row is the product of obtaining heads for each individual coin (which is independent of each other). or is $\frac{1}{2}$ × $\frac{1}{2}$ = $\frac{1}{4}$ = 25%. (Notice!).

Back to our problem, now here we have 3 paint brands and one of them is the right paint brand and two of them are not correct brands. so the prabablity that the customer has picked not correct brand is $\frac{2}{3}$ and her husband has not picked correct brand is also $\frac{2}{3}$ , since two probabilities are compound probabilities i.e indepandant of each other the probablity that both woman and her husband fail get correct brand is the product of the two and is = $\frac{2}{3}$ × $\frac{2}{3}$ = $\frac{4}{9}$ .
