Determine the triangle congruence property that could be used to prove that A ABX ~= DEX

What is the equation of a line that passes through the point (9, −3) and is parallel to the line whose equation is 2x−3y=6 ?

vlabodo [156]

2x - 3y = 6
-3y = -2x + 6
y = 2/3x - 2....the slope here is 2/3. A parallel line will have the same slope

y = mx + b
slope(m) = 2/3
(9,-3)...x = 9 and y = -3
now we sub and find b, the y int
-3 = 2/3(9) + b
-3 = 6 + b
-3 - 6 = b
-9 = b

so ur parallel equation is : y = 2/3x - 9 <== or 2x -3y = 27

When an electric current passes through two resistors with resistance r1 and r2, connected in parallel, the combined resistance,

kondaur [170]

Answer:

a)

The combined resistance of a circuit consisting of two resistors in parallel is given by:

$\frac{1}{R}=\frac{1}{r_1}+\frac{1}{r_2}$

where

R is the combined resistance

$r_1, r_2$ are the two resistors

We can re-write the expression as follows:

$\frac{1}{R}=\frac{r_1+r_2}{r_1r_2}$

Or

$R=\frac{r_1 r_2}{r_1+r_2}$

In order to see if the function is increasing in r1, we calculate the derivative with respect to r1: if the derivative if > 0, then the function is increasing.

The derivative of R with respect to r1 is:

$\frac{dR}{dr_1}=\frac{r_2(r_1+r_2)-1(r_1r_2)}{(r_1+r_2)^2}=\frac{r_2^2}{(r_1+r_2)^2}$

We notice that the derivative is a fraction of two squared terms: therefore, both factors are positive, so the derivative is always positive, and this means that R is an increasing function of r1.

b)

To solve this part, we use again the expression for R written in part a:

$R=\frac{r_1 r_2}{r_1+r_2}$

We start by noticing that there is a limit on the allowed values for r1: in fact, r1 must be strictly positive,

$r_1>0$
