Part (a)

The locus is the set of points that satisfy the given conditions. Namely that the point P needs to be 1 unit from the line given.

Think of a median along a highway. Then imagine the two shoulders of the road. The locus describes the two parallel lines that are to this given median. In other words, the median is y = x+2 and the road shoulders are unknown for now.

Though we do know that parallel lines have equal slopes (but different y intercepts).

Therefore, the answers to the next section will be of the form y = x+k for some real number k.

=============================================================

Part (b)

Use your favorite graphing tool to plot y = x+2. I recommend GeoGebra since I use it all the time, and it's what I used to make the drawing below. Desmos is another tool you can use. Both are free.

Note that point A(0,2) is on the line y = x+2. The line perpendicular to y = x+2 and goes through (0,2) is y = -x+2. From here, plot a circle centered at (0,2) with radius 1. The equation of this circle is x^2 + (y-2)^2 = 1

The intersection points of the circle and y = -x+2 will provide starting points, so to speak, for the two shoulder lines I mentioned in part (a).

The approximate locations of those points are:

B = (0.71, 1.29)

C = (-0.71, 2.71)

From here, it shouldn't be too hard to find the y = mx+b forms of the locus lines. Let me know if you need help with that, or if you need me to check your answers.

Side note: Why is it called a locus? I'm not sure, but my gut feeling tells me it has to do with the insects of a similar sounding name (locus the math term and locust the insect). Imagine millions of them forming various shapes in the sky, similar to how many points are used in the 2D plane to create various curves.

Solve.<br> y =-2x + 9<br> y =4x-3
sammy [17]

Answer:

X= 2 Y=5

Step-by-step explanation:

Set them equal

-2x+9=4x-3 add -2x to both sides and -3 to both sides

12=6x then divide by 6

x=2

plug in 2 to either equation and solve for Y.

Y=-2(2)+9

Y=5

A 3- pack of boxes of juice costs $1.12. A 12-pack of boxes costs $4.38. A case of 24 boxes costs$8.68.Which is the best buy?
just olya [345]
First, you divide the price by the amount of units in the pack. This is how you find how much one unit is worth in that pack. So for the first pack you divide 1.12 by three, and then you have .37333 repeating, which is about 38 cents. Next is the second pack, where we divide 4.38 by 12 which is .365, which is about 37 cents. The last pack is 8.68 divided by  24 which is .361, or about 36 cents. This means that the 24 pack is the best buy.
In real life you should also consider which would be too much for you or not enough. For example,  you might not even need 24 units of juice. You might only need 12 so you don't have too much extra. But hey, this is just a math problem ;)

Criminal investigators use biometric matching for fingerprint recognition, facial recognition, and iris recognition. When matchi
Daniel [21]

Answer:

Type I error.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's remember the definition of Type I error and Type II error:

A type I error is the rejection of a true null hypothesis, this means that we would get a "false positive" with this error.

A type II error is the non rejection of a not true null hypothesis, this error would give us a "false negative".

In this problem, we are told that the mean match score to identify a suspect is 80. However, the test shows that the mean match score is more than 80 when the person doesn't have a fingerprint match (and therefore the person would not be a suspect). Therefore, this person would appear as a suspect when he/she really isn't one. This means that the test is giving a "false positive". Thus, this is a type I error.

What is the end behavior of the function f(x)=−1/4x^2?
ki77a [65]

Answer:

As x approaches infinity, f(x) approaches negative infinity

As x approaches negative infinity, f(x) approaches negative infinity

Step-by-step explanation:

Because the function goes in the downward direction on both sides, it would be negative infinity for both.

It's basically saying, as the x values go towards the positives, the y values go towards the negatives

and as the x values go towards the negatives, the y values go towards the negatives.
