Find the value of x. B X+5 4 D E 2x 3 А x = [?]

Mathematics
1 answer:
Greeley [361]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Δ BDE and Δ BAC are similar triangles, thus the ratio of corresponding sides are equal, that is

\frac{BD}{BA} = \frac{BE}{BC}, substitute values

\frac{x+5}{3x+5} = \frac{4}{7} ( cross- multiply )

4(3x + 5) = 7(x + 5) ← distribute parenthesis on both sides )

12x + 20 = 7x + 35 ( subtract 7x from both sides )

5x + 20 = 35 ( subtract 20 from both sides )

5x = 15 ( divide both sides by 5 )

x = 3

Find the coordinates of the point (x,y,z) on the planez=4x+3y+1 which is closest to the origin.
Nataliya [291]
Given plane Π : f(x,y,z) = 4x+3y-z = -1
Need to find point P on Π  that is closest to the origin O=(0,0,0).

Solution:
First step: check if O is on the plane Π : f(0,0,0)=0 ≠ -1 => O is not on Π
Next:
We know that the required point must lie on the normal vector <4,3,-1> passing through the origin, i.e. 
P=(0,0,0)+k<4,3,-1> = (4k,3k,-k)
For P to lie on plane &Pi; , it must satisfy
4(4k)+3(3k)-(-k)=-1
Solving for k
k=-1/26
=>
Point P is (4k,3k,-k) = (-4/26, -3/26, 1/26) = (-2/13, -3/26, 1/26)
because P is on the normal vector originating from the origin, and it satisfies the equation of plane &Pi;
Answer: P(-2/13, -3/26, 1/26) is the point on &Pi; closest to the origin.

F(x) = 2x^2 - 3x, calculate f(x+h)-f(x) / h
kvasek [131]
First plug in (x+h) for x in the function.
f(x+h)= 2(x-h)^2-3(x-h) = 2(x^2-2xh+h^2)-3x-3h =
2x^2-4xh+2h^2-3x-3h - 2x^2 +3x =
(-4xh +2h^2-3h)/h
-4x +2h-3
