Answer:

  (i) k = 1

  (ii) 4/7

  (iii) arctan(4/7) ≈ 29.7°

Step-by-step explanation:

(i) A graph of the given points is helpful. It shows us the slope of AB is ...

  mAB = rise/run = 2/1 = 2

so the slope of BC must be the opposite reciprocal, -1/2.

Point C is 6-2 = 4 units to the right of point B, so will be (-1/2)(4) = -2 units from point B in the vertical direction. That is, ...

  k = 3 -2

  k = 1

__

(ii) The gradient of AC is found from the slope formula:

  m = (y2 -y1)/(x2 -x1)

  m = (1 -(-3))/(6 -(-1))

  mAC = 4/7

__

(iii) The angle that line AC makes with the +x axis is the arctangent of the slope:

  arctan(4/7) ≈ 29.7° . . . angle between AC and +x axis

We want to find the maximum and minimum values of f(x, y) = 10x2 + 11y on the disk D: x2 + y2 < 1.
dolphi86 [110]

If you're just focusing on the boundary, it's the circle x^2+y^2=1. Parameterize it by taking x=\cos t and y=\sin t, with 0\le t\le2\pi. Then f(x,y) reduces to a univariate function g(t):

f(x,y)=10x^2+11y\iff g(t)=f(\cos t,\sin t)=10\cos^2t+11\sin t

Then you can find any extrema on the boundary by checking the critical points of g.

Simplify the expression. 7 √x • 7 √x • 7 √x
blsea [12.9K]
Answer:

√7x−49√x

Explanation:

First of all, expand by multiplying √7x⋅√x and √7x⋅7√7respectively:

√7x(√x−7√7)=√7x⋅√x−√7x⋅7√7

... you can express √7x as √7⋅√x...

=√7⋅√x⋅√x−√7⋅√x⋅7⋅√7

=√7⋅(√x)2−(√7)2⋅√x⋅7

... the operations squaring and taking the square root "eliminate each other"...

=√7⋅x−7⋅√x⋅7

=√7x−49√x

Hope that this helped!
