Answers:

  • Part a)  \bf{\sqrt{x^2+(x^2-3)^2}
  • Part b)  3
  • Part c)   2.24
  • Part d)  1.58

============================================================

Work Shown:

Part (a)

The origin is the point (0,0) which we'll make the first point, so let (x1,y1) = (0,0)

The other point is of the form (x,y) where y = x^2-3. So the point can be stated as (x2,y2) = (x,y). We'll replace y with x^2-3

We apply the distance formula to say...

d = \sqrt{(x_1-x_2)^2+(y_1-y_2)^2}\\\\d = \sqrt{(0-x)^2+(0-y)^2}\\\\d = \sqrt{(0-x)^2+(-y)^2}\\\\d = \sqrt{x^2 + y^2}\\\\d = \sqrt{x^2 + (x^2-3)^2}\\\\

We could expand things out and combine like terms, but that's just extra unneeded work in my opinion.

Saying d = \sqrt{x^2 + (x^2-3)^2} is the same as writing d = sqrt(x^2-(x^2-3)^2)

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

Part (b)

Plug in x = 0 and you should find the following

d(x) = \sqrt{x^2 + (x^2-3)^2}\\\\d(0) = \sqrt{0^2 + (0^2-3)^2}\\\\d(0) = \sqrt{(-3)^2}\\\\d(0) = \sqrt{9}\\\\d(0) = 3\\\\

This says that the point (x,y) = (0,3) is 3 units away from the origin (0,0).

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

Part (c)

Repeat for x = 1

d(x) = \sqrt{x^2 + (x^2-3)^2}\\\\d(1) = \sqrt{1^2 + (1^2-3)^2}\\\\d(1) = \sqrt{1 + (1-3)^2}\\\\d(1) = \sqrt{1 + (-2)^2}\\\\d(1) = \sqrt{1 + 4}\\\\d(1) = \sqrt{5}\\\\d(1) \approx 2.23606797749979\\\\d(1) \approx 2.24\\\\

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

Part (d)

Graph the d(x) function found back in part (a)

Use the minimum function on your graphing calculator to find the lowest point such that x > 0.

See the diagram below. I used GeoGebra to make the graph. Desmos probably has a similar feature (but I'm not entirely sure). If you have a TI83 or TI84, then your calculator has the minimum function feature.

The red point of this diagram is what we're after. That point is approximately (1.58, 1.66)

This means the smallest d can get is d = 1.66 and it happens when x = 1.58 approximately.

F(x)=x^3 −9x <br> What is the average rate of change of over the interval [1,6]?
Inga [223]

Answer:

34

Step-by-step explanation:

The average rate of change of f(x) in the closed interval [ a, b ] is

\frac{f(b)-f(a)}{b-a}

Here [ a, b ] = [ 1, 6 ], thus

f(b) = f(6) = 6³ - 9(6) = 216 - 54 = 162

f(a) = f(1) = 1³ - 9(1) = 1 - 9 = - 8

average rate of change = \frac{162-(-8)}{6-1} = \frac{170}{5} = 34

Is 0/0x7y³ a positive or negative number
charle [14.2K]

Answer:

A =  0/(0 x 7y³)

Let's see the denominator:  0 x 7y³ = 0

=> Whenever the denominator is 0, A is undefined, neither a positive number or negative number

Hope this helps!

(10-P) Help please, thanks.
Anuta_ua [19.1K]
The formula of linear equation is:
y1  -  y2 = m(x1  -  x2)
Where
x1 and x2: x coordinates(-1 and 3)
y1 and y2: y coordinates(-2 and 10)
m is the slope

We can then choose a point from the line to find the eqaution.

We need to first find the slope:
\frac{y1 - y2}{x1 - x2}
In this case:
\frac{ - 2 - 10}{ - 1 - 3}   \\ =  \frac{ - 12}{ - 4}  \\  = 3

In this case, as the y2 is given as 1,put (-1,-2) , and the slope(3 )into the eqaution :

y-(-2) = 3(x-(-1))
y+2 = 3(x+1)

Therefore
y + 2 = 3x + 1
is the answer.

Hope it helps!
