Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

2., 3., 4., 5.

yes, you had the right idea to calculate the half distances between the coordinates. just create the absolute values of the full distance before cutting it in half.

you need to remember : we have to go this half distance from one point to the other (meaning adding our subtracting the half distance to/from the starting point).

2.

(-4, 6) to (10, -10)

in x the distance is 10 - -4 = 14. half is 7.

in y the distance is |-10 - 6| = |-16| = 16. half is 8.

so the midpoint is

(-4 + 7, 6 - 8) = (3, -2)

remember, to go the half distance in the direction towards the second point (so we have to choose properly, when to use "+" and "-" depending on the change of the coordinate : from -4 to 10 we have to add, from 6 to -10 we have to subtract, of course).

3.

(-3, -8) to (-6.5, -4.5)

in x distance : -3 - -6.5 = 3.5. half is 1.75

in y distance : -8 - -4.5 = |-3.5| = 3.5. half is 1.75

midpoint is

(-3 - 1.75, -8 + 1.75) = (-4.75, -6.25)

4.

(3, 7) to (-8, -10)

x : 3 - -8 = 11. half is 5.5

y : 7 - -10 = 17. half is 8.5

midpoint is

(3 - 5.5, 7 - 8.5) = (-2.5, -1.5)

5.

(-6, -13) to (-6.4, -3.8)

x : -6 - -6.4 = 0.4. half is 0.2

y : -13 - -3.8 = |-9.2| = 9.2. half is 4.6

midpoint is

(-6 - 0.2, -13 + 4.6) = (-6.2, -8.4)

6.

(-1, 7) to (5, 1)

x : -1 - 5 = |-6| = 6. 1/3 is 2.

y : 7 - 1 = 6. 1/3 is 2.

1/3 from C to D

(-1 + 2, 7 - 2) = (1, 5)

7.

2/3 of the way from D to C is the same point as in 6. (1/3 from C to D).

again

(1, 5)

8.

2/3 of the way from C to D.

so, we need to double what we added in 6.

(-1 + 4, 7 - 4) = (3, 3)

9.

1/3 of the way from D to C is the same point as in 8. (2/3 of the way from C to D).

again

(3, 3)

10.

exactly. Pythagoras.

the square root of the sum of the squares of the coordinate differences.

distance = sqrt((x1 - x2)² + (y1 - y2)²)

11.

(6, 8) to (-1, 8)

distance = sqrt((6 - -1)² + (8 - 8)²) = sqrt(49) = 7

12.

(5, -6) to (5, 6)

sqrt((5-5)² + (-6-6)²) = sqrt(144) = 12

13.

(-2, 0) to (11, 0)

sqrt((-2 - 11)² + (0-0)²) = sqrt(169) = 13

14.

(1, -5) to (9, 1)

sqrt((1-9)² + (-5 - 1)²) = sqrt(64 + 36) = sqrt(100) = 10

15.

ST and MT are basically the same equation.

MT is half of ST.

ST equation based on 2 points :

y – yS={(yT – yS)/(xT – xS)}(x – xS)

M = (xS + (xT - xS)/2, yS +(yT - yS)/2)

so, let's put that into the general equation :

y - yM={(yT - yM)/(xT - xM)}(x - xM)

y - (yS +(yT - yS)/2) = {(yT - (yS +(yT - yS)/2))/(xT - (xS + (xT - xS)/2))}(x - (xS + (xT - xS)/2))

16.

the two corners farthest away are (5, 10) and (9, 6).

what distance from (0, 0) is now bigger ?

since it is (0, 0), we can skip the 0s and just sum up the squares of the coordinates.

5² + 10² = 125

9² + 6² = 117

so, the corner (5, 10) is the farthest away.

Answers

Answer:

y=mx+b

Step-by-step explanation:

m=4/3×-6

I think this is the answer

Let a and b be real numbers, where a<b, and let A=(a,a^2)  and B= (b,b^2) The line AB (meaning the unique line that contains the point A and the point B) has x-intercept (-3/2,0) and y-intercept (0,3). Find a and b. Express your answer as the ordered pair (a,b)​

Answers

The slope of the line passing through points A and B is

slope = (b ² - a ²) / (b - a) = ((b - a) (b + a)) / (b - a) = b + a

Since this line passes through (0, 3), its equation would be

y - 3 = (b + a) (x - 0)   ==>   y = (b + a) x + 3

It also passes through (-3/2, 0), so that

y - 0 = (b + a) (x + 3/2)   ==>   y = (b + a) x + 3/2 (b + a)

If these equations describe the same line, then they must have the same slope and y-intercept, so that

3 = 3/2 (b + a)   ==>   a + b = 2

It also passes through (a, a ²), so that

a ² = (b + a) a + 3   ==>   a ² = ab + a ² + 3   ==>   ab = -3

Solving for b in the first underlined equation, we get

b = 2 - a

Substituting into the second equation and solving for a gives

a (2 - a) = -3   ==>   2a - a ² = -3   ==>   a ² - 2a - 3 = (a - 3) (a + 1) = 0

==>   a = 3   or   a = -1

==>   b = -1   or   b = 3

Since a < b, we pick a = -1 and b = 3, so the solution is (a, b) = (-1, 3).

Step-by-step explanation:

A ball is thrown straight up into the air from an initial height of 5 feet at time t = 0. The height, in feet, of the ball above the ground is given by h(t), where t is measured in seconds for 0 ≤ t ≤ 15. Based on the values of t and h(t) given in the table, for which value of t would the speed of the ball most likely be the greatest?

t (seconds) 0 3 6 9 12 15
h(t) (feet) 5 12 15 11 6 0

Select one:
a. 2 seconds
b. 5 seconds
c. 9 seconds
d. 15 seconds

Answers

Answer:

5 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

The speed of an object is the rate of distance over time. The value of time (t) at the greatest speed of the ball is at 2 seconds

First, we calculate the speed using:

[tex]Speed = \frac{h(t)}{t}[/tex] --- i.e. distance/time

At t = 0, h(t) = 5

So;

[tex]Speed = \frac{5}{0} = unde fine d[/tex]

At t = 3, h(t) = 12

[tex]Speed = \frac{12}{3} = 4[/tex]

At t = 6, h(t) = 15

[tex]Speed = \frac{15}{6} = 2.5[/tex]

At t = 9, h(t) = 11

[tex]Speed = \frac{11}{9} = 1.2[/tex]

At t = 12, h(t) = 6

[tex]Speed = \frac{6}{12} = 0.5[/tex]

At t = 15, h(t) = 0

[tex]Speed = \frac{0}{15} = 0[/tex]

By comparing the above values, we notice that as time and height increases, the value of speed reduces.

This means that the greatest value of speed will be at the least value of time (t).

From the given options, the least value of time is at:

[tex]t = 2[/tex]

Hence, the value of time (t) at the greatest speed of the ball is at 2 seconds

Use the Laplace transform to solve the given system of differential equations. d2x dt2 + x − y = 0 d2y dt2 + y − x = 0 x(0) = 0, x'(0) = −6, y(0) = 0, y'(0) = 1

Answers

I'm going to assume that "−" is supposed to be some kind of minus character, so that the given system of DEs is supposed to be

[tex]\begin{cases}\dfrac{\mathrm d^2x}{\mathrm dt^2} + x - y = 0 \\ \dfrac{\mathrm d^2y}{\mathrm dt^2} + y - x = 0 \\ x(0) = 0, x'(0) = -6, y(0) = 0, y'(0) = 1\end{cases}[/tex]

Take the Laplace transform of both sides of both equations. Recall the transform for a second-order derivative,

[tex]L_s\left\{\dfrac{\mathrm d^2f(t)}{\mathrm dt^2}\right\} = s^2 F(s) - sf(0) - f'(0)[/tex]

where F(s) denotes the transform of f(t). You end up with

[tex]\begin{cases}s^2X(s)-sx(0)-x'(0) + X(s) - Y(s) = 0 \\ s^2Y(s) - sy(0) - y'(0) + Y(s) - X(s) = 0\end{cases} \\\\ \begin{cases}(s^2+1)X(s) - Y(s) = -6 \\ (s^2+1)Y(s) - X(s) = 1\end{cases}[/tex]

and solving for X(s) and Y(s) (nothing tricky here, just two linear equations) gives

[tex]X(s) = -\dfrac{6s^2+5}{s^2(s^2+2)} \text{ and } Y(s) = \dfrac{s^2-5}{s^2(s^2+2)}[/tex]

Now solve for x(t) and y(t) by computing the inverse transforms. To start, split up both X(s) and Y(s) into partial fractions.

• Solving for x(t) :

[tex]-\dfrac{6s^2+5}{s^2(s^2+2)} = \dfrac as + \dfrac b{s^2} + \dfrac{cs+d}{s^2+2} \\\\ -6s^2-5 = as(s^2+2) + b(s^2+2) + (cs+d)s^2 \\\\ -6s^2-5 = (a+c)s^3 + (b+d)s^2 + 2as + 2b \\\\ \implies \begin{cases}a+c=0\\b+d=-6\\2a=0\\2b=-5\end{cases} \implies a=c=0, b=-\dfrac52, d=-\dfrac72[/tex]

[tex]\implies X(s) = -\dfrac5{2s^2} - \dfrac7{2(s^2+2)}[/tex]

Taking the inverse transform, you get

[tex]L^{-1}_t\left\{X(s)\right\} = -\dfrac52 L^{-1}_t\left\{\dfrac{1!}{s^{1+1}}\right\} - \dfrac7{2\sqrt2} L^{-1}_t\left\{\dfrac{\sqrt2}{s^2+(\sqrt2)^2}\right\} \\\\ \implies \boxed{x(t) = -\dfrac52 t - \dfrac7{2\sqrt2}\sin(\sqrt2\,t)}[/tex]

• Solving for y(t) :

[tex]\dfrac{s^2-5}{s^2(s^2+2)} = \dfrac as + \dfrac b{s^2} + \dfrac{cs+d}{s^2+2} \\\\ s^2 - 5 = as(s^2+2) + b(s^2+2) + (cs+d)s^2 \\\\ s^2 - 5 = (a+c)s^3 + (b+d)s^2 + 2as + 2b \\\\ \implies \begin{cases}a+c=0\\b+d=1\\2a=0\\2b=-5\end{cases} \implies a=c=0, b=-\dfrac52, d=\dfrac72[/tex]

[tex]\implies Y(s) = -\dfrac5{2s^2} + \dfrac7{2(s^2+2)}[/tex]

Inverse transform:

[tex]L^{-1}_t\left\{Y(s)\right\} = -\dfrac52 L^{-1}_t\left\{\dfrac{1!}{s^{1+1}}\right\} + \dfrac7{2\sqrt2} L^{-1}_t\left\{\dfrac{\sqrt 2}{s^2+(\sqrt2)^2}\right\} \\\\ \implies \boxed{y(t) = -\dfrac52 t + \dfrac7{\sqrt2} \sin(\sqrt2\,t)}[/tex]

Answer:

-1

Step-by-step explanation:

Pick two points on the line

(0,2) and (2,0)

Using the slope formula

m = ( y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

    = ( 0-2)/(2-0)

    = -2/2

  = -1

Answer:

-1

Step-by-step explanation:

Use two points on the line to find the slope, using rise over run.

We can use the points (0, 2) and (2, 0).

From the first point to the other, the y value decreases by 2 and the x value increases by 2.

Use rise (change in y value) over run (change in x value):

-2 / 2

= -1

So, the slope is -1.
