Answer:

-2

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope intercept form is

y = mx + b

Where m is the slope

Parallel lines have the same slope

----------------------------

y = -2x + 5

is in slope intercept form

the slope, m = -2

The slope of the parallel ine will be the same

m = -2

Find the point (,) on the curve =8 that is closest to the point (3,0). [To do this, first find the distance function between (,)

ELEN [110]

Question:

Find the point (,) on the curve $y = \sqrt x$ that is closest to the point (3,0).

[To do this, first find the distance function between (,) and (3,0) and minimize it.]

Answer:

$(x,y) = (\frac{5}{2},\frac{\sqrt{10}}{2}})$

Step-by-step explanation:

$y = \sqrt x$ can be represented as: $(x,y)$

Substitute $\sqrt x$ for $y$

$(x,y) = (x,\sqrt x)$

So, next:

Calculate the distance between $(x,\sqrt x)$ and $(3,0)$

Distance is calculated as:

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

So:

$d = \sqrt{(x-3)^2 + (\sqrt x - 0)^2}$

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

Evaluate all exponents

$d = \sqrt{x^2 - 6x +9 + x}$

Rewrite as:

$d = \sqrt{x^2 + x- 6x +9 }$

$d = \sqrt{x^2 - 5x +9 }$

Differentiate using chain rule:

Let

$u = x^2 - 5x +9$

$\frac{du}{dx} = 2x - 5$

So:

$d = \sqrt u$

$d = u^\frac{1}{2}$

$\frac{dd}{du} = \frac{1}{2}u^{-\frac{1}{2}}$

Chain Rule:

$d' = \frac{du}{dx} * \frac{dd}{du}$

$d' = (2x-5) * \frac{1}{2}u^{-\frac{1}{2}}$

$d' = (2x - 5) * \frac{1}{2u^{\frac{1}{2}}}$

$d' = \frac{2x - 5}{2\sqrt u}$

Substitute: $u = x^2 - 5x +9$

$d' = \frac{2x - 5}{2\sqrt{x^2 - 5x + 9}}$

Next, is to minimize (by equating d' to 0)

$\frac{2x - 5}{2\sqrt{x^2 - 5x + 9}} = 0$

Cross Multiply

$2x - 5 = 0$

Solve for x

$2x =5$

$x = \frac{5}{2}$

Substitute $x = \frac{5}{2}$ in $y = \sqrt x$

$y = \sqrt{\frac{5}{2}}$

Split

$y = \frac{\sqrt 5}{\sqrt 2}$

Rationalize

$y = \frac{\sqrt 5}{\sqrt 2} * \frac{\sqrt 2}{\sqrt 2}$

$y = \frac{\sqrt {10}}{\sqrt 4}$

$y = \frac{\sqrt {10}}{2}$

Hence:

$(x,y) = (\frac{5}{2},\frac{\sqrt{10}}{2}})$

Steve has at most $80 to spend at a store. He wants to buy a movie that costs $22. He also wants to buy DVDs that cost $7.00 eac

Degger [83]

Answer:

80 is less than or equal to 22+7x

8 DVDs

Step-by-step explanation:

I don't have the inequality signs sorry if you don't know its the symbol thats opening to the left with a line underneath

80 is less than or equal to 22+7x

subtract 22

58 is less than or equal to 7x

divide and flip the sign to the right

x is greater than or equal to 8.29

so he can buy 8 DVDs in total
