Answer

a. The backpack is $4.50

b. The sweatshirt is $2.70

Step-by-step explanation:

a. 30 x 0.15 = 4.50 (The 0.15 is from the price you are actually paying for the item. Because the item is 85% off, you are paying for 15% of the usual price. 15% as a decimal is 0.15 so you multiply that to the original price to find the amount u will pay.)

b. 18 x 0.15 = 2.70

Find the point on the parabola y^2 = 4x that is closest to the point (2, 8).
guapka [62]

Answer:

(4, 4)

Step-by-step explanation:

There are a couple of ways to go at this:

  1. Write an expression for the distance from a point on the parabola to the given point, then differentiate that and set the derivative to zero.
  2. Find the equation of a normal line to the parabola that goes through the given point.

1. The distance formula tells us for some point (x, y) on the parabola, the distance d satisfies ...

... d² = (x -2)² +(y -8)² . . . . . . . the y in this equation is a function of x

Differentiating with respect to x and setting dd/dx=0, we have ...

... 2d(dd/dx) = 0 = 2(x -2) +2(y -8)(dy/dx)

We can factor 2 from this to get

... 0 = x -2 +(y -8)(dy/dx)

Differentiating the parabola's equation, we find ...

... 2y(dy/dx) = 4

... dy/dx = 2/y

Substituting for x (=y²/4) and dy/dx into our derivative equation above, we get

... 0 = y²/4 -2 +(y -8)(2/y) = y²/4 -16/y

... 64 = y³ . . . . . . multiply by 4y, add 64

... 4 = y . . . . . . . . cube root

... y²/4 = 16/4 = x = 4

_____

2. The derivative above tells us the slope at point (x, y) on the parabola is ...

... dy/dx = 2/y

Then the slope of the normal line at that point is ...

... -1/(dy/dx) = -y/2

The normal line through the point (2, 8) will have equation (in point-slope form) ...

... y - 8 = (-y/2)(x -2)

Substituting for x using the equation of the parabola, we get

... y - 8 = (-y/2)(y²/4 -2)

Multiplying by 8 gives ...

... 8y -64 = -y³ +8y

... y³ = 64 . . . . subtract 8y, multiply by -1

... y = 4 . . . . . . cube root

... x = y²/4 = 4

The point on the parabola that is closest to the point (2, 8) is (4, 4).
