Question:
Find the point (,) on the curve [tex]y = \sqrt x[/tex] that is closest to the point (3,0).
[To do this, first find the distance function between (,) and (3,0) and minimize it.]
Answer:
[tex](x,y) = (\frac{5}{2},\frac{\sqrt{10}}{2}})[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex]y = \sqrt x[/tex] can be represented as: [tex](x,y)[/tex]
Substitute [tex]\sqrt x[/tex] for [tex]y[/tex]
[tex](x,y) = (x,\sqrt x)[/tex]
So, next:
Calculate the distance between [tex](x,\sqrt x)[/tex] and [tex](3,0)[/tex]
Distance is calculated as:
[tex]d = \sqrt{(x_1-x_2)^2 + (y_1 - y_2)^2}[/tex]
So:
[tex]d = \sqrt{(x-3)^2 + (\sqrt x - 0)^2}[/tex]
[tex]d = \sqrt{(x-3)^2 + (\sqrt x)^2}[/tex]
Evaluate all exponents
[tex]d = \sqrt{x^2 - 6x +9 + x}[/tex]
Rewrite as:
[tex]d = \sqrt{x^2 + x- 6x +9 }[/tex]
[tex]d = \sqrt{x^2 - 5x +9 }[/tex]
Differentiate using chain rule:
Let
[tex]u = x^2 - 5x +9[/tex]
[tex]\frac{du}{dx} = 2x - 5[/tex]
So:
[tex]d = \sqrt u[/tex]
[tex]d = u^\frac{1}{2}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{dd}{du} = \frac{1}{2}u^{-\frac{1}{2}}[/tex]
Chain Rule:
[tex]d' = \frac{du}{dx} * \frac{dd}{du}[/tex]
[tex]d' = (2x-5) * \frac{1}{2}u^{-\frac{1}{2}}[/tex]
[tex]d' = (2x - 5) * \frac{1}{2u^{\frac{1}{2}}}[/tex]
[tex]d' = \frac{2x - 5}{2\sqrt u}[/tex]
Substitute: [tex]u = x^2 - 5x +9[/tex]
[tex]d' = \frac{2x - 5}{2\sqrt{x^2 - 5x + 9}}[/tex]
Next, is to minimize (by equating d' to 0)
[tex]\frac{2x - 5}{2\sqrt{x^2 - 5x + 9}} = 0[/tex]
Cross Multiply
[tex]2x - 5 = 0[/tex]
Solve for x
[tex]2x =5[/tex]
[tex]x = \frac{5}{2}[/tex]
Substitute [tex]x = \frac{5}{2}[/tex] in [tex]y = \sqrt x[/tex]
[tex]y = \sqrt{\frac{5}{2}}[/tex]
Split
[tex]y = \frac{\sqrt 5}{\sqrt 2}[/tex]
Rationalize
[tex]y = \frac{\sqrt 5}{\sqrt 2} * \frac{\sqrt 2}{\sqrt 2}[/tex]
[tex]y = \frac{\sqrt {10}}{\sqrt 4}[/tex]
[tex]y = \frac{\sqrt {10}}{2}[/tex]
Hence:
[tex](x,y) = (\frac{5}{2},\frac{\sqrt{10}}{2}})[/tex]

Algebraically, determine the exact value of x for the
equation 85(2)0.4x = 6000.
Answer: 14,575
Step-by-step explanation:
85(2) 0.4x = 6000 Multiply 85 times 2
170 + 0.4x = 6000 Subtract 170 from both sides
0.4x = 5830 Divide 5830 by 0.4
x = 14,575

how do you solve fire x.
Answer:
x = 10
Step-by-step explanation:
Sum of all the angle of triangle = 180
71 + 50 + 6x - 1 = 180
71 + 50 -1 + 6x = 180
120 + 6x = 180
6x = 180 - 120
6x = 60
x = 60/6

{3x - y = 14
{4x + y = 21 ?
A (−5, 3)
B (4, −2)
C (5, 1)
Answer:
C
Step-by-step explanation:
3x-y=14
4x+y=21
add
7x=35
x=35/7=5
4×5+y=21
y=21-20=1
so (5,1 ) is the solution.

Find the solution to this equation - 3x + 32 - 7x = -2 (5x + 10)
Remember the steps
1. Distribute
2. Combine like terms on the left side
3 Pick sides variables = constants
4 Move terms that don't belong by doing the opposite operations
5 Decide what the statement means If it's always true write "infinitely many solutions." If it's always false, write "no solutions."
Answer:
[tex]x =\frac{-26}{3}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.
3x+32−7x=−2(5x+10)
3x+32+−7x=(−2)(5x)+(−2)(10)(Distribute)
3x+32+−7x=−10x+−20
(3x+−7x)+(32)=−10x−20(Combine Like Terms)
−4x+32=−10x−20
−4x+32=−10x−20
Step 2: Add 10x to both sides.
−4x+32+10x=−10x−20+10x
6x+32=−20
Step 3: Subtract 32 from both sides.
6x+32−32=−20−32
6x=−52
Step 4: Divide both sides by 6.
6x

Consider the following pair of equations:
y = −2x + 8
y = x − 1
Explain how you will solve the pair of equations by substitution. Show all the steps and write the solution in (x, y) form.
Answer:
(3,2)
Step-by-step explanation:
y = -2x + 8
y = x-1
Substitute x-1 for y in the equation y = -2x + 8. x-1 = -2x + 8
Use the Additive Property to move the
constant terms to one side of the equation. x-1 = -2x + 8
+1 +1
x = -2x + 9
Now do the same to the variable terms. +2x +2x
3x = 9
Divide both sides of the equation by the
constant in the variable term. ÷3 = ÷3
x = 3
To find y, simply substitute the value of x into
one of the original equations. y = x-1
y = 3-1
Solve: y = 2
The solution is (3, 2).

Khaya is delivering groceries to his mother who stays 8km from the shop. How long will it take him to cover this distance if he drives at an average speed of 65km/h? Give your answer rounded to the nearest minute.
Answer:
7.385 minutes
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that :
Average speed = 65km/hr
The distance covered = 8km
The time taken Given the information above :
Recall:
Speed = distance / time
Time taken = distance / speed
Time taken = 8km / 65km/hr
Time taken = 0.1230769 hr
Time taken = 0.1230769 * 60 = 7.385 minutes
The time taken to cover this distance is 7.3848 minutes
What is speed?Speed is the change of an object's distance within a specified period of time.
Mathematically, speed can be calculated by using the relation:
Speed = distance/timeFrom the given information:
The average speed = 65 km/hThe distance = 8 kmFrom the above formula, we can make the time the subject of the formula:
Speed = distance/timeBy cross multiplying
Time = distance/speedTime = 8 km / 65 km/hTime = 0.12308 hourWe all know that:
60 seconds = 1 minute60 minutes = 1 hourThus, time(t) = (0.12308 × 60) minutes
Time(t) = 7.3848 minutes

The length of a rectangle is five more than triple the width. If the perimeter is 154 inches, what are the dimensions
Answer:
Width = 18 inches
Length = 59 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
The length of a rectangle is five more than triple the width. If the perimeter is 154 inches, what are the dimensions
Perimeter of a rectangle = 2L + 2W
The length of a rectangle is five more than triple the width.
L = Length = 5 + 3W
W = Width
If the perimeter is 154 inches, what are the dimensions
Hence,
154 = 2L + 2W
154 = 2(5 + 3W ) + 2W
154 = 10 + 6W + 2W
Collect like terms
154 - 10 = 8W
144 = 8W
W = 144/8
W = 18 inches
Length = 5 + 3W
Length = 5 + 3(18)
Length = 5 + 54
Length = 59 inches

20 POINTS Find the diameter?? Pls help I dont know what to do..
Answer:
Diameter = 19.33
Step-by-step explanation:
Imaging a radius line from O to the endpoints of the 7. call this line R.
Label the part of the vertical line from O to the 90 degree intersection y.
Now you have a right triangle.
Using the Pythagorean theorem:
R² = 7² + y²
also
y = R - 3
substitute for y:
R² = 49 + (R-3)²
R² = 49 + R² - 6R + 9
simplify:
0 = 58 - 6R
6R = 58
R = 9.6667
Diameter = 2(9.6667) = 19.33

For four Fridays in June, Grace earned $21.50, $29.75, $32.00, and $15.25 from babysitting.
In July, she earned $8 more for babysitting four Fridays than she did in June.
What is the increase in the mean for July compared to June?
Round the answer to the nearest penny.
Answer:
$2
Step-by-step explanation:
Its actually quite simple.
first find the mean for june.
add $21.50 + $29.75 + $32.00 + $15.25
that is equal to 98.5
then divide by 4.
that is 24.625
do not round to the nearest penny yet.
now you need to find the mean for july.
just add $8 to the total amount you made in june to find the total amount you made in july.
that is 106.5
then divide that by four because you worked four fridays in july as well.
that is 26.625.
finally you need to find the difference between 26.625 and 24.625.
26.625-24.625= 2
