Answer:

A = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Given A is inversely proportional to B then the equation relating them is

A = $\frac{k}{B}$

To find k use the condition when A = 4, B = 36 , then

4 = $\frac{k}{36}$ ( multiply both sides by 36 )

144 = k

A = $\frac{144}{B}$ ← equation of variation

When B = A , then

A = $\frac{144}{A}$ ( multiply both sides by A )

A² = 144 ( take square root of both sides )

A = ± $\sqrt{144}$ = ± 12

Since A is a positive number then A = 12

Answer:

The position is given by r(t) = (-2 -t √14, 1 + √3.5, 3 + 3√3.5)

Step-by-step explanation:

The direction is given by the difference between the starting point and the end point, thus it is (-4,0,6)-(-2,-1,3) = (-2,1,3). The norm of this vector is √( (-2)²+1²+3²) = √14 = 3.7416 secons

Since the speed is 7 cm/sec, we need to multiply this vector by 7/√14 = √3.5 in order to obtain how much does the particle advance each second.

As a consecuence, it advances (-2,1,3) * √3.5 = (- √14, √3.5, 3 √3.5)

And, as a result, the position after t seconds is given by the function

r(t) = (-2,1,3) + t (-√14, √3.5, 3 √3.5) = (-2 -t √14, 1 + √3.5, 3 + 3√3.5)
