Answer:

PA+AR=PR

AR= PR- PA

AR= 8x+14-(7x-11)

AR= 8x+14-7x+11

AR= x+25

Now, if A is midpoint of PR, then

PA=AR

7x-11= x+25

6x=36

x=6

Put value of x in AR

AR= 6+25= 31

Hope this will help:)

Answer: x+25

Step-by-step explanation:

Here.

PR = 8x+14

& PA = 7x-11

and A is the mid point of PR

so according to condition , PR - PA = AR

⇒ 8x + 14 -(7x -11) =AR

⇒8x +14 -7x + 11 = AR

∴ AR = x+25

Determine if this relationship forms a direct variation. Verify your answer.

leva [86]

we know that

A relationship between two variables, x, and y, represent a direct variation if it can be expressed in the form y/x=k or y=kx

we have

a) for x=1 y=0.50--------> y/x=0.50/1------> 0.50

b) for x=2 y=1--------> y/x=1/2-------> 0.50

c) for x=3 y=1.50--------> y/x=1.50/3-----> 0.50

d) for x=5 y=2.50--------> y/x=2.50/5----> 0.50

the value of k is equal to 0.50

<span>the relationship forms a direct variation. </span>

the equation is

y=0.50*x

Verify

for x=1

y=0.50*(1)------> y=0.50-----> is correct

for x=2

y=0.50*(2)------> y=1.00-----> is correct

for x=3

y=0.50*(3)------> y=1.50-----> is correct

for x=5

y=0.50*(5)------> y=2.50-----> is correct

The surface area of a right circular cone of radius r and height h is S = πr√ r 2 + h 2 , and its volume is V = 1 3 πr2h. What i

kirill115 [55]

Answer:

Required largest volume is 0.407114 unit.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given surface area of a right circular cone of radious r and height h is,

$S=\pi r\sqrt{r^2+h^2}$

and volume,

$V=\frac{1}{3}\pi r^2 h$

To find the largest volume if the surface area is S=8 (say), then applying Lagranges multipliers,

$f(r,h)=\frac{1}{3}\pi r^2 h$

subject to,

$g(r,h)=\pi r\sqrt{r^2+h^2}=8\hfill (1)$

We know for maximum volume $r\neq 0$ . So let $\lambda$ be the Lagranges multipliers be such that,

$f_r=\lambda g_r$

$\implies \frac{2}{3}\pi r h=\lambda (\pi \sqrt{r^2+h^2}+\frac{\pi r^2}{\sqrt{r^2+h^2}})$

$\implies \frac{2}{3}r h= \lambda (\sqrt{r^2+h^2}+\frac{ r^2}{\sqrt{r^2+h^2}})\hfill (2)$

And,

$f_h=\lambda g_h$

$\implies \frac{1}{3}\pi r^2=\lambda \frac{\pi rh}{\sqrt{r^2+h^2}}$

$\implies \lambda=\frac{r\sqrt{r^2+h^2}}{3h}\hfill (3)$

Substitute (3) in (2) we get,

$\frac{2}{3}rh=\frac{r\sqrt{R^2+h^2}}{3h}(\sqrt{R^2+h^2+}+\frac{r^2}{\sqrt{r^2+h^2}})$

$\implies \frac{2}{3}rh=\frac{r}{3h}(2r^2+h^2)$

$\implies h^2=2r^2$

Substitute this value in (1) we get,

$\pi r\sqrt{h^2+r^2}=8$

$\implies \pi r \sqrt{2r^2+r^2}=8$

$\implies r=\sqrt{\frac{8}{\pi\sqrt{3}}}\equiv 1.21252$

Then,

$h=\sqrt{2}(1.21252)\equiv 1.71476$

Hence largest volume,

$V=\frac{1}{3}\times \pi \times\frac{\pi}{8\sqrt{3}}\times 1.71476=0.407114$

Factor the polynomial by grouping : x^3+5x^2-6x-30

andrew-mc [135]

The idea is to pair up the terms, factor each sub-group, and then pull out the overall GCF to fully factor.

x^3+5x^2-6x-30

(x^3+5x^2)+(-6x-30)

x^2(x+5)+(-6x-30)

x^2(x+5)-6(x+5)

(x^2-6)(x+5)

-------------

Answer: (x^2-6)(x+5)
