First you have to make your denominators the same. You have 5 and 7 as your denominators. 5 x 7 = 35 So we can use 35 as the common denominator. So you have

1/5 = 7/35

<u>1/7 = 5/35  </u>   now you can subtract

         2/35

Hope that I was able to help you. :-)

Convert the fractions so they both have the same denominator (bottom part of the fraction)

1/5 = 7/35

This is because 5*7=35, so 1*7=7

1/7 = 5/35

This is because 7*5=35, so 1*5 =5

Then subtract the top numbers to get the answer:

\frac{7}{35}-\frac{5}{35} = \frac{2}{35}

Find the points on the cone z2 = x2 + y2 that are closest to the point (6, 2, 0).
aliya0001 [1]

Answer:

The closest points on the cone are;

(6, 2, -√10) and (6, 2, √10)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let B(x, y, z) denote a point on the cone.

Therefore, the distance between the points (6, 2, 0) and B(x, y, z) is;

d = √[(x - 6)² + (y - 2)² + (z - 0)²]

d = √[(x - 6)² + (y - 2)² + z²]

Since we are given that z² = x² + y², we now have;

d = √[(x - 6)² + (y - 2)² + x² + y²]

Taking the square of both sides gives;

d² = [(x - 6)² + (y - 2)² + x² + y²]

x² is an increasing function. Thus, minimizing d is also the same as to minimize f (x, y) = d²

Thus, f' = 0. So;

df/dx = 2(x - 6) + 2x = 0

2x - 12 + 2x = 0

4x = 12

x = 12/4

x = 3

Similarly,

df/dy = 2(y - 2) + 2y = 0

2y - 4 + 2y = 0

4y - 4 = 0

4y = 4

y = 4/4

y = 1

Now,from earlier;

z² = x² + y²

Thus;

z = ±√(3² + 1²)

z = ±√10

Thus, the closest points on the cone are;

(6, 2, -√10) and (6, 2, √10)

X^2 - 2x = 15 how do I solve this quadratic method?<br>I am stuck on it.... please help<br>​
Anarel [89]

Answer:

(x - 5)(x + 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

to solve x² - 2x = 15, we need to get all the terms on one side so we can solve the quadratic equation using factoring. to do this, we subtract 15 from both sides

x² - 2x = 15

- 15         -15

x² - 2x - 15 = 0

now we can factor. we need 2 numbers that when multiplied together give us -15, and when those 2 numbers are added together we get -2

because we have a -15, we can assume that one number must be negative and the other positive, as a negative times a postive is a negative.

we can use 3 and -5 as factors and test it out. we put x in front because we have an x²

(x - 5)(x + 3) < we can FOIL to check to see if this is correct. its not mandatory to check but when you arent sure of the answer you can FOIL it out

FOIL stands for: First, Outside, Inside, and Last terms

F: (x - 5)(x + 3) = x²

O: (x - 5)(x + 3) = -3x

I: (x - 5)(x + 3) = 5x

L: (x - 5)(x + 3) = -15

x² + 3x - 5x - 15 < subtract 3x from 5x

x² - 2x - 15

this checks out, so our answer is (x - 5)(x + 3)
