Answer:

\boxed{\sf a = 9 }

Step-by-step explanation:

Two lines are given to us which are perpendicular to each other and we need to find out the value of a . The given equations are ,

\sf\longrightarrow 3x - 2y +7=0

\sf\longrightarrow 6x +ay -18 = 0

Step 1 : <u>Conver</u><u>t</u><u> </u><u>the </u><u>equations</u><u> in</u><u> </u><u>slope</u><u> intercept</u><u> form</u><u> </u><u>of</u><u> the</u><u> line</u><u> </u><u>.</u>

\sf\longrightarrow y = \dfrac{3x}{2} +\dfrac{ 7 }{2}

and ,

\sf\longrightarrow y = -\dfrac{6x }{a}+\dfrac{18}{a}

Step 2: <u>Find </u><u>the</u><u> </u><u>slope</u><u> of</u><u> the</u><u> </u><u>lines </u><u>:</u><u>-</u>

Now we know that the product of slope of two perpendicular lines is -1. Therefore , from Slope Intercept Form of the line we can say that the slope of first line is ,

\sf\longrightarrow Slope_1 = \dfrac{3}{2}

And the slope of the second line is ,

\sf\longrightarrow Slope_2 =\dfrac{-6}{a}

Step 3: <u>Multiply</u><u> </u><u>the </u><u>slopes </u><u>:</u><u>-</u><u> </u>

\sf\longrightarrow \dfrac{3}{2}\times \dfrac{-6}{a}= -1

Multiply ,

\sf\longrightarrow \dfrac{-9}{a}= -1

Multiply both sides by a ,

\sf\longrightarrow (-1)a = -9

Divide both sides by -1 ,

\sf\longrightarrow \boxed{\blue{\sf a = 9 }}

<u>Hence </u><u>the</u><u> </u><u>value</u><u> of</u><u> a</u><u> </u><u>is </u><u>9</u><u> </u><u>.</u>

(b) A line has the equation y = 6x + 11
marin [14]

Hi, to begin, the ordered pair value (-3, 15) has an x-value of -3. So, to see if it lies on the line of your equation y = 6x + 11, plug -3 in for x. This gives you y = 6(-3) + 11 = -7 So the ordered pair answer for this would be (-3, -7) and not (-3, 15). So the answer is no.

The plane x+y+2z=8 intersects the paraboloid z=x2+y2 in an ellipse. Find the points on this ellipse that are nearest to and fart
DiKsa [7]

Answer:

The minimum distance of   √((195-19√33)/8)  occurs at  ((-1+√33)/4; (-1+√33)/4; (17-√33)/4)  and the maximum distance of  √((195+19√33)/8)  occurs at (-(1+√33)/4; - (1+√33)/4; (17+√33)/4)

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, the two constraints are

g (x, y, z) = x + y + 2z − 8  

and  

h (x, y, z) = x ² + y² − z.

Any critical  point that we find during the Lagrange multiplier process will satisfy both of these constraints, so we  actually don’t need to find an explicit equation for the ellipse that is their intersection.

Suppose that (x, y, z) is any point that satisfies both of the constraints (and hence is on the ellipse.)

Then the distance from (x, y, z) to the origin is given by

√((x − 0)² + (y − 0)² + (z − 0)² ).

This expression (and its partial derivatives) would be cumbersome to work with, so we will find the the extrema  of the square of the distance. Thus, our objective function is

f(x, y, z) = x ² + y ² + z ²

and

∇f = (2x, 2y, 2z )

λ∇g = (λ, λ, 2λ)

µ∇h = (2µx, 2µy, −µ)

Thus the system we need to solve for (x, y, z) is

                           2x = λ + 2µx                         (1)

                           2y = λ + 2µy                       (2)

                           2z = 2λ − µ                          (3)

                           x + y + 2z = 8                      (4)

                           x ² + y ² − z = 0                     (5)

Subtracting (2) from (1) and factoring gives

                     2 (x − y) = 2µ (x − y)

so µ = 1  whenever x ≠ y. Substituting µ = 1 into (1) gives us λ = 0 and substituting µ = 1 and λ = 0  into (3) gives us  2z = −1  and thus z = − 1 /2 . Subtituting z = − 1 /2  into (4) and (5) gives us

                            x + y − 9 = 0

                         x ² + y ² +  1 /2  = 0

however, x ² + y ² +  1 /2  = 0  has no solution. Thus we must have x = y.

Since we now know x = y, (4) and (5) become

2x + 2z = 8

2x  ² − z = 0

so

z = 4 − x

z = 2x²

Combining these together gives us  2x²  = 4 − x , so

2x²  + x − 4 = 0 which has solutions

x =  (-1+√33)/4

and

x = -(1+√33)/4.

Further substitution yeilds the critical points  

((-1+√33)/4; (-1+√33)/4; (17-√33)/4)   and

(-(1+√33)/4; - (1+√33)/4; (17+√33)/4).

Substituting these into our  objective function gives us

f((-1+√33)/4; (-1+√33)/4; (17-√33)/4) = (195-19√33)/8

f(-(1+√33)/4; - (1+√33)/4; (17+√33)/4) = (195+19√33)/8

Thus minimum distance of   √((195-19√33)/8)  occurs at  ((-1+√33)/4; (-1+√33)/4; (17-√33)/4)  and the maximum distance of  √((195+19√33)/8)  occurs at (-(1+√33)/4; - (1+√33)/4; (17+√33)/4)

Provide the reflected ordered pair for each of the given ordered pairs. Reflect the ordered pair ( − 4 , 5 ) (-4, 5) across the
levacccp [35]

Answer:

a) (4,5)

b) (0,-3)

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to perform the following reflection over given ordered pair.

a) Reflect the ordered pair (-4,5) across the y-axis

Reflection over y-axis:

r: (x,y)\rightarrow (-x,y)

Thus, (-4,5) will be reflected over y-axis as

r: (-4,5)\rightarrow (-(-4),5) = (4.5)

b) Reflect the ordered pair (0,3) across the y-axis

Reflection over x-axis:

r: (x,y)\rightarrow (x,-y)

Thus, (0,3) will be reflected over x-axis as

r: (0,3)\rightarrow (0,-(3)) = (0,-3)
