A new library, L, is to be built at some point along a straight road, R, such that its distance from train station, T, is the sh

ortest possible. The train station and the road are placed on a coordinate system where T has coordinates (80, 140) and R has equation y = x - 80. All coordinates are given in kilometers. Find the coordinates of the new library.

Answer:

Coordinates of the new library is (150, 70)

Step-by-step explanation:

To get the shortest possible distance means that line from point T to point R has to be perpendicular.

Now, the equation of R is given as;

y = x - 80 - - - (1)

For T to be perpendicular, it means it will have a slope equal to the negative reciprocal of line R.

Thus, slope of T is -1/1 = - 1

Thus, using line - slope intercept of y = mx + c, we can find equation of T as;

140 = -1(80) + c

140 = -80 + c

c = 140 + 80

c = 220

Thus, equation is;

y = -x + 220 - - - (eq 2)

Adding equation 1 to equation 2,we have;

y + y = 220 - 80

2y = 140

y = 140/2

y = 70

Putting 70 for y in eq 1 gives;

70 = x - 80

x = 70 + 80

x = 150

Thus;

Coordinate of the new library is (150, 70)

____ [38]
<h3>Answer:</h3>
  • A. x = -2
  • B. (-2, -3), (-3, -1)
  • C. x = 0
<h3>Step-by-step explanation:</h3>

Part A. The solution is represented by the point at which the graphs intersect: (-2, -3). The x-value that makes p(x) = f(x) is x = -2.

___

Part B. The point found in Part A is one solution to f(x). The graph shows the line has a slope of -2, so another point will be 1 to the left and 2 up: (-3, -1). So, two solutions are ...

... (-2, -3) and (-3, -1)

___

Part C. The graphs of p(x) and g(x) intersect at the point (0, 2). This means

... p(0) = g(0) = 2

So, x = 0 is the solution to the equation p(x) = g(x).
