a line passes through the point (10, -9) and has a slope of -3/2. write an equation in slope-intercept form for this line.

1 answer:

5 0

Slope intercept: y = mx + b
Plug in the slope
Y = -3/2x + b
Plug in the point
-9 = -3/2(10) + b, b = 6
Equation: y = -3/2x + 6

Write the quadratic equation that has roots -1-rt2/3 and -1+rt2/3 if its coefficient with x^2 is equal to 1

weeeeeb [17]

The equation of the quadratic function is f(x) = x²+ 2/3x - 1/9

<h3>How to determine the quadratic equation?</h3>

From the question, the given parameters are:

Roots = (-1 - √2)/3 and (-1 + √2)/3

The quadratic equation is then calculated as

f(x) = The products of (x - roots)

Substitute the known values in the above equation

So, we have the following equation

$f(x) = (x - \frac{-1-\sqrt{2}}{3})(x - \frac{-1+\sqrt{2}}{3})$

This gives

$f(x) = (x + \frac{1+\sqrt{2}}{3})(x + \frac{1-\sqrt{2}}{3})$

Evaluate the products

$f(x) = (x^2 + \frac{1+\sqrt{2}}{3}x + \frac{1-\sqrt{2}}{3}x + (\frac{1-\sqrt{2}}{3})(\frac{1+\sqrt{2}}{3})$

Evaluate the like terms

$f(x) = x^2 + \frac{2}{3}x - \frac{1}{9}$

So, we have

f(x) = x²+ 2/3x - 1/9

Aneli [31]

I don't know where the angle β is, so I will make the assumption that tanβ = h/r
$V = \frac{1}{3} \pi r^{2} h$

V volume = 60
r radius = 2
h = r tanβ

$tan \beta = \frac{3V }{ \pi r^{3} } = \frac{ 180}{25,1} = 7,17 \\ \\ \beta = 82$

Find the derivative of the function at P 0 in the direction of A. f(x,y,z) = 3 e^x cos(yz), P0 (0, 0, 0), A = - i + 2 j + 3k

Alik [6]

The derivative of $f(x,y,z)$ at a point $p_0=(x_0,y_0,z_0)$ in the direction of a vector $\vec a=a_x\,\vec\imath+a_y\,\vec\jmath+a_z\,\vec k$ is

$\nabla f(x_0,y_0,z_0)\cdot\dfrac{\vec a}{\|\vec a\|}$

We have

$f(x,y,z)=3e^x\cos(yz)\implies\nabla f(x,y,z)=3e^x\cos(yz)\,\vec\imath-3ze^x\sin(yz)\,\vec\jmath-3ye^x\sin(yz)\,\vec k$

and

$\vec a=-\vec\imath+2\,\vec\jmath+3\,\vec k\implies\|\vec a\|=\sqrt{(-1)^2+2^2+3^2}=\sqrt{14}$

Then the derivative at $p_0$ in the direction of $\vec a$ is

$3\,\vec\imath\cdot\dfrac{-\vec\imath+2\,\vec\jmath+3\,\vec k}{\sqrt{14}}=-\dfrac3{\sqrt{14}}$
