The line $y = 3$ intersects the graph of $y = 4x^2 + x - 1$ at the points $A$ and $B$. The distance between $A$ and $B$ can be w

raketka [301]

Answer:

61

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's find the points $A$ and $B$ .

We know that the $y$ -coordinates of both are $3$ .

So let's first solve:

$3=4x^2+x-1$

Subtract 3 on both sides:

$0=4x^2+x-1-3$

Simplify:

$0=4x^2+x-4$

I'm going to use the quadratic formula, $x=\frac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$ , to solve.

We must first compare to the quadratic equation, $ax^2+bx+c=0$ .

$a=4$

$b=1$

$c=-4$

$\frac{-1 \pm \sqrt{1^2-4(4)(-4)}}{2(4)}$

$\frac{-1 \pm \sqrt{1+64}}{8}$

$\frac{-1 \pm \sqrt{65}}{8}$

Since the distance between the points $A$ and $B$ is horizontal. We know this because they share the same $y-coordinate$ .This means we just need to find the positive difference between the $x$ -values we found for the points of $A$ and $B$ .

So that is, the distance between $A$ and $B$ is:

$\frac{-1+\sqrt{65}}{8}-\frac{-1-\sqrt{65}}{8}$

$\frac{-1+\sqrt{65}+1+\sqrt{65}}{8}$

$\frac{2\sqrt{65}}{8}$

$\frac{\sqrt{65}}{4}$

If we compare this to $\frac{\sqrt{m}}{n}$ , we should see that:

$m=65 \text{ and } n=4$ .

So $m-n=65-4=61$ .

What is the solution of this system of linear equations?

creativ13 [48]

Answer: D

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the first equation. Subtract 3x from both sides.

y−3x=−2

Consider the second equation. Subtract x from both sides.

y−2−x=0

Add 2 to both sides. Anything plus zero gives itself.

y−x=2

To solve a pair of equations using substitution, first solve one of the equations for one of the variables. Then substitute the result for that variable in the other equation.

y−3x=−2,y−x=2

Choose one of the equations and solve it for y by isolating y on the left hand side of the equal sign.

y−3x=−2

Add 3x to both sides of the equation.

y=3x−2

Substitute 3x−2 for y in the other equation, y−x=2.

3x−2−x=2

Add 3x to −x.

2x−2=2

Add 2 to both sides of the equation.

2x=4

Divide both sides by 2.

x=2

Substitute 2 for x in y=3x−2. Because the resulting equation contains only one variable, you can solve for y directly.

y=3×2−2

Multiply 3 times 2.

y=6−2

Add −2 to 6.

y=4

The system is now solved.

y=4,x=2

Find equivalent ways to rewrite the expression 6a^8÷3a^4

solong [7]

Answer:

6a^8/3a^4= (6/3)= 2

a^8/a^4= a^4

2a^4

(6/3)(a^8/a^4)= 2a^4

(6/3)(a^(8-4))= 2a^4

Find the limits of integration ly, uy, lx, ux, lz, uz (some of which will involve variables x,y,z) so that ∫uz lz∫uxlx∫uyly????y

SSSSS [86.1K]

Answer:

X from 0 to 21

Y from 0 to 7

Z from 0 to 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we are being asked by the integration limits in first octant (positive x, positive y and positive z) we need to know where does the plane intersect this axes. For this we have:

for x=0 and y=0

7z=21

z=3

for x=0 and z=0

3y=21

y=7

for z=0 and y=0

x=21

This means that the integration limits are:

X from 0 to 21

Y from 0 to 7

Z from 0 to 3
