Answer:

y=-\frac{1}{2}x+\frac{3}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

First, calculate the slope of the line that is perpendicular to the equation of line we are asked to find

m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

  =(2-(-4))/(-2-1)

  =6/-3

  =-2

in this equation the slope is 2, and to find the first equation, use y=mx+b

use the point (1, -4) to find b

-4=(2)(1)+b

-4=2+b

b=-6

the first equation of the line is y=2x-6

to find the x intercept of that line substitute 0 for y

0=2x-6

2x=6

x=3

the slope of a line perpendicular to this would be the opposite reciprocal of the slope which would be equal to -1/2

for the second equation of the line to pass thorugh the x-intercept of the first line, it must pass through (3, 0), so substitute and solve for b

y=mx+b

0=(-1/2)(3)+b

b=3/2

thus the equation of the line that is perpendicular to the line through (1,-4) and (-2, 2) and passes through the x intercept of that line is y=-\frac{1}{2}x+3/2

Try to sketch by hand the curve of intersection of the parabolic cylinder y = x2 and the top half of the ellipsoid x2 + 7y2 + 7z
vovikov84 [41]

Plug y=x^2 into the equation of the ellipsoid:

x^2+7(x^2)^2+7z^2=49

Complete the square:

7x^4+x^2=7\left(x^4+\dfrac{x^2}7+\dfrac1{14^2}-\dfrac1{14^2}\right)=7\left(x^2+\dfrac1{14}\right)^2+\dfrac1{28}

Then the intersection is such that

7\left(x^2+\dfrac1{14}\right)^2+7z^2=\dfrac{1371}{28}

\left(x^2+\dfrac1{14}\right)^2+z^2=\dfrac{1371}{196}

which resembles the equation of a circle, and suggests a parameterization is polar-like coordinates. Let

x(t)^2+\dfrac1{14}=\sqrt{\dfrac{1371}{196}}\cos t\implies x(t)=\pm\sqrt{\sqrt{\dfrac{1371}{196}}\cos t-\dfrac1{14}}

y(t)=x(t)^2=\sqrt{\dfrac{1371}{196}}\cos t-\dfrac1{14}

z=\sqrt{\dfrac{1371}{196}}\sin t

Answer:

We conclude that:

h(f(-1))  = -2

∴ option D i.e. -2 is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

f(x) = 4x² - 1

g(x) = 1/2x + 5

h(x) = 2(x - 4)³

To determine

h(f(-1)) = ?

In order to determine h(f(-1)) first we need to determine f(-1).

substitute x = -1 in the function f(x) = 4x² - 1

f(-1) = 4(-1)² - 1

f(-1) = 4(1) - 1

f(-1) = 4-1

f(-1) = 3

so

h(f(-1)) = h(3)

now substitute h = 3 in the function h(x) = 2(x - 4)³

h(x) = 2(x - 4)³

h(3) = 2(3 - 4)³

h(3) = 2(-1)³

h(3) = 2(-1)

h(3) = -2

Thus,

h(f(-1)) = h(3) = -2

Hence, we conclude that:

h(f(-1))  = -2

∴ option D i.e. -2 is correct.

An inspector found that 4 out of 116 parts were defective. What percent of the parts were defective?
daser333 [38]
A. 3.45%
The formula for a proportion is x/n, "n" is the total of objects and "x" is the number os successes. In this case "defective" is the success because you want to know the percentage for defective parts, so 4/116= 0.0345 and you have to multiply the result by 100 and you get your answer in percentage.
