What is the value of c such that the line y=2x+3 is tangent to the parabola y=cx^2

Mathematics
1 answer:
satela [25.4K]2 years ago
3 0

The value of c such that the line y = 2\cdot x + 3 is tangent to the parabola y = c\cdot x^{2} is -\frac{1}{3}.

If y = 2\cdot x + 3 is a line <em>tangent</em> to the parabola y = c\cdot x^{2}, then we must observe the following condition, that is, the slope of the line is equal to the <em>first</em> derivative of the parabola:

2\cdot c \cdot x = 2 (1)

Then, we have the following system of equations:

y = 2\cdot x + 3 (1)

y = c\cdot x^{2} (2)

c\cdot x = 1 (3)

Whose solution is shown below:

By (3):

c =\frac{1}{x}

(3) in (2):

y = x (4)

(4) in (1):

y = -3

x = -3

c = -\frac{1}{3}

The value of c such that the line y = 2\cdot x + 3 is tangent to the parabola y = c\cdot x^{2} is -\frac{1}{3}.

9. What is the system of equations that describes the following graph?
jeka94

The graph represented in the figure shows a set of linear equations each of which is represented a straight line.

Step-by-step explanation:

System of Equation can be referred to as an assortment of equations to be dealt with. Common examples include linear equations and non-linear equations such as a parabola, hyperbola etc.

Linear set of equations are the most simple of equation depicting a linear relationship between two variables.

E.g.  Y=4x+3

here y and x share a linear relationship which is defined by the straight-line graph "4x+3"

Similarly in the graph lines, two straight lines are depicted which symbolises that the et of the equation is linear in character.

Suppose we have a population whose proportion of items with the desired attribute is p = 0:5. (a) If a sample of size 200 is tak
crimeas [40]

Answer:

a. If a sample of size 200 is taken, the probability that the proportion of successes in the sample will be between 0.47 and 0.51 is 41.26%.

b. If a sample of size 100 is taken, the probability that the proportion of successes in the sample will be between 0.47 and 0.51 is 30.5%.

Step-by-step explanation:

This problem should be solved with a binomial distribution sample, but as the size of the sample is large, it can be approximated to a normal distribution.

The parameters for the normal distribution will be

\mu=p=0.5\\\\\sigma=\sqrt{p(1-p)/n} =\sqrt{0.5*0.5/200}= 0.0353

We can calculate the z values for x1=0.47 and x2=0.51:

z_1=\frac{x_1-\mu}{\sigma}=\frac{0.47-0.5}{0.0353}=-0.85\\\\z_2=\frac{x_2-\mu}{\sigma}=\frac{0.51-0.5}{0.0353}=0.28

We can now calculate the probabilities:

P(0.47

If a sample of size 200 is taken, the probability that the proportion of successes in the sample will be between 0.47 and 0.51 is 41.26%.

b) If the sample size change, the standard deviation of the normal distribution changes:

\mu=p=0.5\\\\\sigma=\sqrt{p(1-p)/n} =\sqrt{0.5*0.5/100}= 0.05

We can calculate the z values for x1=0.47 and x2=0.51:

z_1=\frac{x_1-\mu}{\sigma}=\frac{0.47-0.5}{0.05}=-0.6\\\\z_2=\frac{x_2-\mu}{\sigma}=\frac{0.51-0.5}{0.05}=0.2

We can now calculate the probabilities:

P(0.47

If a sample of size 100 is taken, the probability that the proportion of successes in the sample will be between 0.47 and 0.51 is 30.5%.

Another way of finding Surface Area is

  1. SA= 2LW+2LH+2HW

L= Length

W= Width

H= Height

the answer, and explained, would be this

2. SA= 2(12)(10)+2(12)(16)+2 (10)(16)

(<em>multiply</em>)

3. SA= 240 + 384 + 320

(<em>add</em>)

<em>The</em><em> </em><em>answer</em><em> </em><em>is</em><em>.</em><em>.</em><em> </em>

<em><u>SA</u></em><em><u>=</u></em><em><u>944ft3</u></em><em><u> </u></em>
