Mathematics

Answer:

Suppose the closest point is at p=(x0,y0), and set q=(−2,−3). Then the tangent to the parabola at p is perpendicular to ℓ, the line through p,q. and we end up numerically computing the roots from here.

Find the roots of h(t) = (139kt)^2 − 69t + 80

Sonbull [250]

Answer:

The positive value of $k$ will result in exactly one real root is approximately 0.028.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let $h(t) = 19321\cdot k^{2}\cdot t^{2}-69\cdot t +80$ , roots are those values of $t$ so that $h(t) = 0$ . That is:

$19321\cdot k^{2}\cdot t^{2}-69\cdot t + 80=0$ (1)

Roots are determined analytically by the Quadratic Formula:

$t = \frac{69\pm \sqrt{4761-6182720\cdot k^{2} }}{38642}$

$t = \frac{69}{38642} \pm \sqrt{\frac{4761}{1493204164}-\frac{80\cdot k^{2}}{19321} }$

The smaller root is $t = \frac{69}{38642} - \sqrt{\frac{4761}{1493204164}-\frac{80\cdot k^{2}}{19321} }$ , and the larger root is $t = \frac{69}{38642} + \sqrt{\frac{4761}{1493204164}-\frac{80\cdot k^{2}}{19321} }$ .

$h(t) = 19321\cdot k^{2}\cdot t^{2}-69\cdot t +80$ has one real root when $\frac{4761}{1493204164}-\frac{80\cdot k^{2}}{19321} = 0$ . Then, we solve the discriminant for $k$ :

$\frac{80\cdot k^{2}}{19321} = \frac{4761}{1493204164}$

$k \approx \pm 0.028$

The positive value of $k$ will result in exactly one real root is approximately 0.028.

I believe it is A and Yes

The bigger the price is on an item, the more tax you would have to pay, so both numbers increase. As for whether or not there is a line through the dots, you use a line when you could go inbetween the points. For example, with this question you can have 0.24, 0.86, or any other number as the price and it would make sense. If the question was sales tax on a certain number of shirts, well, you can't buy half a shirt so you don't need anywhere inbetween the dots.

Proportional in these kinds of problems means whether or not the line curves. If it doesn't and is a straight line, then it is proportional.

Matteo has &400 in his saving account. On average he spends $10 per week on buying apps. Luca has $200 in his savings accoun

n200080 [17]

Answer: By the 8th week.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the time that matteo and luca have the same amount of money be represented by x.

The information given in the question can be formed into an equation as:

400 - 10x = 200 + 15x

Collect like terms

400 - 200 = 15x + 10x

200 = 25x

x = 200/25

x = 8

Matteo and Luca will have the same amount of money by the 8th week.
