1/3 is equal to 4/12.
1 goes into 3, 3 times, and 4 goes into 12 three times. Therefore 4/12 is also 1/3.

A certain square is to be drawn on a coordinate plane. One of the vertices must be on the origin, and the square is to have an a

Scrat [10]

Answer:

The answer is (C) 8

Step-by-step explanation:

First, let's calculate the length of the side of the square.

$A_{square}=a^2$ , where $a$ is the length of the side. Now, let's try to build the square. First we need to find a point which distance from (0, 0) is 10. For this, we can use the distance formula in the plane:

$d = \sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2 + (y_2-y_1)^2}$ which for $x_1=0$ and $y_1 = 0$ transforms as $d=\sqrt{(x_2)^2 + (y_2)^2}$ . The first point we are looking for is connected to the origin and therefore, its components will form a right triangle in which, the Pythagoras theorem holds, see the first attached figure. Then, $x_2$ , $y_2$ and 10 are a Pythagorean triple. From this, $x_2= 6$ or $x_2=8$ while $y_2= 6$ or $y_2=8$ . This leads us with the set of coordinates:

$(\pm 6, \pm 8)$ and $(\pm 8, \pm 6)$ . (A)

The next step is to find the coordinates of points that lie on lines which are perpendicular to the lines that joins the origin of the coordinate system with the set of points given in (A):

Let's do this for the point (6, 8).

The equation of the line that join the point (6, 8) with the origin (0, 0) has the equation $y = mx +n$ , however, we only need to find its slope in order to find a perpendicular line to it. Thus,

$m = \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} \\m = \frac{8-0}{6-0} \\m = 8/6$

Then, a perpendicular line has an slope $m_{\bot} = -\frac{1}{m} = -\frac{6}{8}$ (perpendicularity condition of two lines). With the equation of the slope of the perpendicular line and the given point (6, 8), together with the equation of the distance we can form a system of equations to find the coordinates of two points that lie on this perpendicular line.

$m_{\bot}=\frac{6}{8} = \frac{8-y}{6-x}\\ 6(6-x)+8(8-y)=0$ (1)

$d^2 = \sqrt{(y_o-y)^2+(x_o-x)^2} \\(10)^2=\sqrt{(8-y)^2+(6-x)^2}\\100 = \sqrt{(8-y)^2+(6-x)^2}$ (2)

This system has solutions in the coordinates (-2, 14) and (14, 2). Until here, we have three vertices of the square. Let's now find the fourth one in the same way we found the third one using the point (14,2). A line perpendicular to the line that joins the point (6, 8) and (14, 2) has an slope $m = 8/6$ based on the perpendicularity condition. Thus, we can form the system:

$\frac{8}{6} =\frac{2-y}{14-x} \\8(14-x) - 6(2-y) = 0$ (1)

$100 = \sqrt{(14-x)^2+(2-y)^2}$ (2)

with solution the coordinates (8, -6) and (20, 10). If you draw a line joining the coordinates (0, 0), (6, 8), (14, 2) and (8, -6) you will get one of the squares that fulfill the conditions of the problem. By repeating this process with the coordinates in (A), the following squares are found:

(0, 0), (6, 8), (14, 2), (8, -6)

(0, 0), (8, 6), (14, -2), (6, -8)
(0, 0), (-6, 8), (-14, 2), (-8, -6)
(0, 0), (-8, 6), (-14, -2), (-6, -8)

Now, notice that the equation of distance between the two points separated a distance of 10 has the trivial solution $(\pm10, 0)$ and $(0, \pm10)$ . By combining this points we get the following squares:

(0, 0), (10, 0), (10, 10), (0, 10)
(0, 0), (0, 10), (-10, 10), (-10, 0)
(0, 0), (-10, 0), (-10, -10), (0, -10)
(0, 0), (0, -10), (-10, -10), (10, 0)

See the attached second attached figure. Therefore, 8 squares can be drawn

Suppose that we don't have a formula for g(x) but we know that g(3) = −5 and g'(x) = x2 + 7 for all x.

Leni [432]

Answer:

$g(2.9) \approx -6.6$

$g(3.1) \approx -3.4$

The values are too small since $g''$ is positive for both values of $x$ in. I'm speaking of the $x$ values, 2.9 and 3.1.

Step-by-step explanation:

The point-slope of a line is:

$y-y_1=m(x-x_1)$

where $m$ is the slope and $(x_1,y_1)$ is a point on that line.

We want to find the equation of the tangent line of the curve $g$ at the point $(3,-5)$ on $g$ .

So we know $(x_1,y_1)=(3,-5)$ .

To find $m$ , we must calculate the derivative of $g$ at $x=3$ :

$m=g'(3)=(3)^2+7=9+7=16$ .

So the equation of the tangent line to curve $g$ at $(3,-5)$ is:

$y-(-5)=16(x-3)$ .

I'm going to solve this for $y$ .

$y-(-5)=16(x-3)$

$y+5=16(x-3)$

Subtract 5 on both sides:

$y=16(x-3)-5$

What this means is for values $x$ near $x=3$ is that:

$g(x) \approx 16(x-3)-5$ .

Let's evaluate this approximation function for $g(2.9)$ .

$g(2.9) \approx 16(2.9-3)-5$

$g(2.9) \approx 16(-.1)-5$

$g(2.9) \approx -1.6-5$

$g(2.9) \approx -6.6$

Let's evaluate this approximation function for $g(3.1)$ .

$g(3.1) \approx 16(3.1-3)-5$

$g(3.1) \approx 16(.1)-5$

$g(3.1) \approx 1.6-5$

$g(3.1) \approx -3.4$

b) To determine if these are over approximations or under approximations I will require the second derivative.

If $g''$ is positive, then it leads to underestimation (since the curve is concave up at that number).

If $g''$ is negative, then it leads to overestimation (since the curve is concave down at that number).

$g'(x)=x^2+7$

$g''(x)=2x+0$

$g''(x)=2x$

$2x$ is positive for $x>0$ .

$2x$ is negative for $x$ .

That is, $g''(2.9)>0 \text{ and } g''(3.1)>0$ .

So $2x$ is positive for both values of $x$ which means that the values we found in part (a) are underestimations.
