Answer:

C (2, -1)

Step-by-step explanation:

C has the same x coordinate as A = 2

that eliminates A and B.

and the y value of C has to be closer to the y value of B than to the y value of A (due to the 5:3 ratio).

so, without spending unnecessary effort on actual calculation, we can directly derive the correct answer to be C.

but to show in numbers, the "coordinate triangle" of the difference between D and B is a similar triangle to ACD. and so, the ratio of one side pair applies then to all other sides too. including the individual coordinate differences.

so, also the y difference of A to D relates to the y difference between D and B in the same ratio of 5:3 of the overall y difference of A to B.

the y difference A to B is 2 - -6 = 8

the 5/3 split of 8 units is actually 5 and 3.

so, the y coordinate of D is -6 + 5 = -1

and C must have the same y coordinate.

therefore, it is proven that answer C (2, -1) is the right answer.

Prove algebraically that r = 10/2+2sinTheta is a parabola
Xelga [282]

Answer:

y =  -  \frac{ 1 }{10} {x}^{2}   +  \frac{5}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to prove algebraically that:

r =  \frac{10}{2 + 2 \sin \theta}

is a parabola.

We use the relations

{r}^{2}  =  {x}^{2}  +  {y}^{2}

and

y = r \sin \theta

Before we substitute, let us rewrite the equation to get:

r(2 + 2 \sin \theta) = 10

Or

r(1+  \sin \theta) = 5

Expand :

r+  r\sin \theta= 5

We now substitute to get:

\sqrt{ {x}^{2}  +  {y}^{2} }  + y = 5

This means that:

\sqrt{ {x}^{2}  +  {y}^{2} }=5 - y

Square:

{x}^{2}  +  {y}^{2} =(5 - y)^{2}

Expand:

{x}^{2}  +  {y}^{2} =25 - 10y +  {y}^{2}

{x}^{2}  =25 - 10y

{x}^{2}  - 25 =  - 10y

y =  -  \frac{ {x}^{2} }{10}  +  \frac{5}{2}

This is a parabola (0,2.5) and turns upside down.

10. An arithmetic sequence has this recursive formula. What is the explicit formula?​
Mrrafil [7]

Answer:

a_{n}=45-3n

Step-by-step explanation:

Method 1:

Arithmetic sequence is in the form

a_{n} =a_{1} +(n-1)d\\

d is the common difference, can be found by:

d=a_{n}-a_{n-1}=-3

Subtituting the a_{1} and d

You get:

a_{n}=42+(-3)(n-1)=45-3n

Method 2 (Mathematical induction):

Assume it is in form a_{n}=45-3n

Base step: a_{1} =45-3(1)=42

Inducive hypophesis: a_{n}=45-3n

GIven: a_{n+1} =a_{n}-3

a_{n+1}=45-3n-3=45-3(n+1)

Proved by mathematical induction

a_{n}=45-3n
