Answer:

he grows by 5 cm every year between 1999 and 2006

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a arithmetic progression problem with the formula;

T_n = a + (n - 1)d

We are told that In 1999 Daniel was 146 cm tall. He grew to be 176 cm by the year 2006.

Thus;

a = 146

d = 2006 - 1999 = 7

Thus;

176 = 146 + (7 - 1)d

176 - 146 = 6d

30 = 6d

d = 30/6

d = 5 cm

Thus, he grows by 5 cm every year between 1999 and 2006

QF Q6.) Find the function for a.

irakobra [83]

The function for a is (f o g) (x) = 8x^2-10.

Explanation

=========================
$f(x)=2x-4, g(x)=4x^2-3, (f o g)=f(g(x))$

I already knew that the g of x is equal to $4x^2-3$ so I substitute inside of the g of x

$g(x)=4x^2-3$ =======> $f(x)=4x^2-3$ =============> $2(4x^2-3)-4$

simplify it

$2(4x^2-3)-4$ =======> $8x^2-6-4$ =========> $8x^2-10$

$(f o g) = 8x^2-10$

Find the locus of a point such that the sum of its distance from the point ( 0 , 2 ) and ( 0 , -2 ) is 6.

jok3333 [9.3K]

Answer:

$\displaystyle \frac{x^2}{5}+\frac{y^2}{9}=1$

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to find the locus of a point such that the sum of the distance from any point P on the locus to (0, 2) and (0, -2) is 6.

First, we will need the distance formula, given by:

$d=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}$

Let the point on the locus be P(x, y).

So, the distance from P to (0, 2) will be:

$\begin{aligned} d_1&=\sqrt{(x-0)^2+(y-2)^2}\\\\ &=\sqrt{x^2+(y-2)^2}\end{aligned}$

And, the distance from P to (0, -2) will be:

$\displaystyle \begin{aligned} d_2&=\sqrt{(x-0)^2+(y-(-2))^2}\\\\ &=\sqrt{x^2+(y+2)^2}\end{aligned}$

So sum of the two distances must be 6. Therefore:

$d_1+d_2=6$

Now, by substitution:

$(\sqrt{x^2+(y-2)^2})+(\sqrt{x^2+(y+2)^2})=6$

Simplify. We can subtract the second term from the left:

$\sqrt{x^2+(y-2)^2}=6-\sqrt{x^2+(y+2)^2}$

Square both sides:

$(x^2+(y-2)^2)=36-12\sqrt{x^2+(y+2)^2}+(x^2+(y+2)^2)$

We can cancel the x² terms and continue squaring:

$y^2-4y+4=36-12\sqrt{x^2+(y+2)^2}+y^2+4y+4$

We can cancel the y² and 4 from both sides. We can also subtract 4y from both sides. This leaves us with:

$-8y=36-12\sqrt{x^2+(y+2)^2}$

We can divide both sides by -4:

$2y=-9+3\sqrt{x^2+(y+2)^2}$

Adding 9 to both sides yields:

$2y+9=3\sqrt{x^2+(y+2)^2}$

And, we will square both sides one final time.

$4y^2+36y+81=9(x^2+(y^2+4y+4))$

Distribute:

$4y^2+36y+81=9x^2+9y^2+36y+36$

The 36y will cancel. So:

$4y^2+81=9x^2+9y^2+36$

Subtracting 4y² and 36 from both sides yields:

$9x^2+5y^2=45$

And dividing both sides by 45 produces:

$\displaystyle \frac{x^2}{5}+\frac{y^2}{9}=1$

Therefore, the equation for the locus of a point such that the sum of its distance to (0, 2) and (0, -2) is 6 is given by a vertical ellipse with a major axis length of 3 and a minor axis length of √5, centered on the origin.

Factor the quadratic by checking factor pairs.<br> -15x2 – 21x + 18<br> -15x2 – 218 + 19 = -3

d1i1m1o1n [39]

Answer:

-3(x + 2)(5x - 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

-15x² – 21x + 18

-3(5x² + 7x - 6)

-3[5x² + 10x - 3x - 6]

-3[5x(x + 2) - 3(x + 2)]

-3(x + 2)(5x - 3)
