Given:

A segment has endpoints V and X.

To find:

The two names for the segment.

Solution:

A line segment is a small part of a line and it has two end points. The name of a segment is described by its end points.

For example: If A and B are two and points of a line segment, then the names for the segment are $\overline {AB}$ and $\overline {BA}$ .

It is given that the segment has endpoints V and X.

Therefore, the two names for the segment are $\overline {VX}$ and $\overline {XV}$ .

Find the equation of a line that passes through the point (2,1) and has a gradient of 2. Leave your answer in the form ax + by =

Arte-miy333 [17]

Step-by-step explanation:

normally, if we have the gradient (or slope of inclination or change rate) and a point, we start using the point-slope form :

y - y1 = a(x - x1)

with (x1, y1) being a point on the line, and a being the slope of gradient (or ... however you want to call it).

y - 1 = 2(x - 2) = 2x - 4

y + 3 = 2x

2x - y = 3

A circle is growing so that the radius is increasing at the rate of 3 cm/min. How fast is the area of the circle changing at the

Naya [18.7K]

Answer:

The area is growing at a rate of $\frac{dA}{dt} =226.2 \,\frac{cm^2}{min}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Notice that this problem requires the use of implicit differentiation in related rates (some some calculus concepts to be understood), and not all middle school students cover such.

We identify that the info given on the increasing rate of the circle's radius is 3 $\frac{cm}{min}$ and we identify such as the following differential rate:

$\frac{dr}{dt} = 3\,\frac{cm}{min}$

Our unknown is the rate at which the area (A) of the circle is growing under these circumstances,that is, we need to find $\frac{dA}{dt}$ .

So we look into a formula for the area (A) of a circle in terms of its radius (r), so as to have a way of connecting both quantities (A and r):

$A=\pi\,r^2$

We now apply the derivative operator with respect to time ( $\frac{d}{dt}$ ) to this equation, and use chain rule as we find the quadratic form of the radius:

$\frac{d}{dt} [A=\pi\,r^2]\\\frac{dA}{dt} =\pi\,*2*r*\frac{dr}{dt}$

Now we replace the known values of the rate at which the radius is growing ( $\frac{dr}{dt} = 3\,\frac{cm}{min}$ ), and also the value of the radius (r = 12 cm) at which we need to find he specific rate of change for the area :

$\frac{dA}{dt} =\pi\,*2*r*\frac{dr}{dt}\\\frac{dA}{dt} =\pi\,*2*(12\,cm)*(3\,\frac{cm}{min}) \\\frac{dA}{dt} =226.19467 \,\frac{cm^2}{min}\\$

which we can round to one decimal place as:

$\frac{dA}{dt} =226.2 \,\frac{cm^2}{min}$
