Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Corresponding angles are congruent

x² - 72 = 6x

x² - 6x - 72 = 0

Sum = -6

Product = -72

Factor = -12 , 6 {-12*6 = -72 & -12 +6 = -6}

x² + 6x - 12x -72 = 0

x(x + 6) - 12(x + 6) = 0

(x + 6)(x -12)=0 {Ignore x + 6 = 0 because angles won't be in negative}

x - 12 = 0

x = 12

Show that every triangle formed by the coordinate axes and a tangent line to y = 1/x ( for x > 0)

vfiekz [6]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

given a point $(x_0,y_0)$ the equation of a line with slope m that passes through the given point is

$y-y_0 = m(x-x_0)$ or equivalently

$y = mx+(y_0-mx_0)$ .

Recall that a line of the form $y=mx+b$ , the y intercept is b and the x intercept is $\frac{-b}{m}$ .

So, in our case, the y intercept is $(y_0-mx_0)$ and the x intercept is $\frac{mx_0-y_0}{m}$ .

In our case, we know that the line is tangent to the graph of 1/x. So consider a point over the graph $(x_0,\frac{1}{x_0})$ . Which means that $y_0=\frac{1}{x_0}$

The slope of the tangent line is given by the derivative of the function evaluated at $x_0$ . Using the properties of derivatives, we get

$y' = \frac{-1}{x^2}$ . So evaluated at $x_0$ we get $m = \frac{-1}{x_0^2}$

Replacing the values in our previous findings we get that the y intercept is

$(y_0-mx_0) = (\frac{1}{x_0}-(\frac{-1}{x_0^2}x_0)) = \frac{2}{x_0}$

The x intercept is

$\frac{mx_0-y_0}{m} = \frac{\frac{-1}{x_0^2}x_0-\frac{1}{x_0}}{\frac{-1}{x_0^2}} = 2x_0$

The triangle in consideration has height $\frac{2}{x_0}$ and base $2x_0$ . So the area is

$\frac{1}{2}\frac{2}{x_0}\cdot 2x_0=2$

So regardless of the point we take on the graph, the area of the triangle is always 2.

(2) The population density of a region in Alaska is 3,000 people/200 mi? Which of the

Vesna [10]

Answer:

15 people/mi

Step-by-step explanation:

The population density of a region in Alaska is 3,000 people/200 mi.

We need to find the equivalent to the population density of this Alaskan region.

$x=\dfrac{3000\ \text{people}}{200\ \text{mi}}\\\\x=\dfrac{30\ \text{people}}{2\ \text{mi}}\\\\x=\dfrac{15\ \text{people}}{\text{mi}}$

So, the correct option is (c) "15 people/mi"
