A high school soccer team is going to Columbus to see a professional soccer game. A coordinate grid is superimposed on a highway

map of Ohio. The high school is at point (2, 4) and the stadium in Columbus is at point (7, 6). One unit on the map is 3 miles. The approximate distance between the high school and the stadium to the nearest mile is Answer miles.

Answer:

16 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

1 unit = 3 miles

High School = (2, 4)

Stadium = (7, 6)

Approximate distance between high school and stadium :

Distance between High school and Stadium

x1 = 2 ; y1= 4 ; x2 = 7 ; y2 = 6

Distance = sqrt((x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2)

Distance = sqrt((7 - 2)^2 + (6 - 4)^2)

Distance = sqrt((5^2 + 2^2))

Distance = sqrt(25 + 4)

Distance =5.3851648 units

1 unit = 3 miles

Approximate Distance in miles :

3 * 5.3851648 = 16.155494

Approximate distance = 16 miles

Tan(x+pi/2)= negative cot x

DIA [1.3K]

I'm only going to alter the left hand side. The right side will stay the same the entire time

I'll use the identity tan(x) = sin(x)/cos(x) and cot(x) = cos(x)/sin(x)
I'll also use sin(x+y) = sin(x)cos(y)+cos(x)sin(y) and cos(x+y) = cos(x)cos(y)-sin(x)sin(y)

So with that in mind, this is how the steps would look:

tan(x+pi/2) = -cot x
sin(x+pi/2)/cos(x+pi/2) = -cot x
(sin(x)cos(pi/2)+cos(x)sin(pi/2))/(cos(x)cos(pi/2)-sin(x)sin(pi/2)) = -cot x
(sin(x)*0+cos(x)*1)/(cos(x)*0-sin(x)*1) = -cot x
(0+cos(x))/(-sin(x)-0) = -cot x
(cos(x))/(-sin(x)) = -cot x
-cot x = -cot x

Identity is confirmed

Trevor Sherr is paid $1.20 for each hand-painted

Margarita [4]

Answer:

$112.80

Step-by-step explanation:

First, add 56 and 44, which is 100. Then because 6 of the dishes contained errors, he didn't sell them, so subtract 6 from 100. You will get 94. Then you multiply 94 by 1.20 which would give you a result of $112.80.

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:

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