4y - 20.......u need to find a common factor that can go into 4y and 20.....the only common factor is 4. So u can factor that out.....4 goes into 4 one time (but do not forget the y) and 4 goes into 20 five times....4(y - 5)
4(y - 5)...u can also check ur answer by distributing the 4 through the parenthesis and getting 4 * y - 4 * 5 = 4y - 20
The answer is <span>√x + √y = √c </span>
<span>=> 1/(2√x) + 1/(2√y) dy/dx = 0 </span>
<span>=> dy/dx = - √y/√x </span>
<span>Let (x', y') be any point on the curve </span>
<span>=> equation of the tangent at that point is </span>
<span>y - y' = - (√y'/√x') (x - x') </span>
<span>x-intercept of this tangent is obtained by plugging y = 0 </span>
<span>=> 0 - y' = - (√y'/√x') (x - x') </span>
<span>=> x = √(x'y') + x' </span>
<span>y-intercept of the tangent is obtained by plugging x = 0 </span>
<span>=> y - y' = - (√y'/√x') (0 - x') </span>
<span>=> y = y' + √(x'y') </span>
<span>Sum of the x and y intercepts </span>
<span>= √(x'y') + x' + y' + √(x'y') </span>
<span>= (√x' + √y')^2 </span>
<span>= (√c)^2 (because (x', y') is on the curve => √x' + √y' = √c) </span>
<span>= c. hope this helps :D</span>
Not. They are not similar they are regular I think so
