Understanding Utilitarianism
Utilitarianism holds that an action is right if it tends to promote happiness and wrong if it tends to produce sadness, or the reverse of happiness—not just the happiness of the actor but that of everyone affected by it.

The equations of the tangent to the curve y=xsinx at the point (pi/2,pi/2) is

never [62]

The first thing you have to realize is that tangent is the slope of a curve on a given point. You can solve for the slope by finding the derivative of the given function. So:

$\frac{d}{dx} xsin(x)$

Next use product rule (I recommend watching videos if you're confused):

$= [sin(x)] + [x*cos(x)]$

Next substitute you x-value (π/2) into your derivative:

$= [sin( \frac{ \pi}{2} )] +[ \frac{\pi}{2}*cos( \frac{\pi}{2})]$
$= 1 + \frac{\pi}{2} *0$
$= 1$

So our slope at π/2 is 1. Next we use our slope-form and substitute our given value and solve for y-intercept (algebra-stuff)

$( \frac{\pi}{2}) = 1( \frac{\pi}{2}) + b$
$b = 0$

So we get our equation:

$y = x$

So our answer is E

Two lights will be arranged on a two-dimensional plane. The vertical distance between the two lights is stored in the double var

lbvjy [14]

Answer:

double a;

double b;

double distance = Math.sqrt( (Math.pow(a, 2) + Math.pow(b, 2));

System.out.println("The distance is: " + distance);

Explanation:

The code snippet is written in Java.

First, variable a is declared as a type of double and variable b is also declared as a type of double.

The given formula for the distance is:

√(a² + b²)

So we use the inbuilt function of Java to calculate the power and the square root.

Math.sqrt is to find the square root and it returns a value of type double.

Math.pow is use to calculate the value of a² and b².

a² = Math.pow(a, 2)

b² = Math.pow(b, 2)

Then Math.sqrt is applied to the sum of Math.pow(a, 2) and Math.pow(b, 2), the value is assigned to distance of type double.

The value of distance is now displayed to the user:

System.out.println("The distance is: " + distance);

Ap macroeconomics help

ANEK [815]

If the money supply increases and nominal GDP remains the same, then A. price level increases.

<h3>What is Money Supply?</h3>

This refers to the total amount of money that is in circulation in a country that usually increases spending.

Hence, an open market sale by the federal reserve will increase the interest rates because it would increase investment spending because an OMO sale decreases interest rates which make getting loans easier.

M= Money supply

V= Velocity

P- Price level

Y= nominal GDP

Hence, with the increase in the money supply, then there would be an increase in the price supply.
