Graphs/736908: find the equation of the line that contains the point (3,-6) and has the same slope as the line 4x-y=5
1 solutions

Answer 450050 by MathLover1(6614) About Me  on 2013-04-12 08:54:47 (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!

to find the equation of the line that contains the point (3,-6) and has the same+slope as the line 4x-y=5, first find +slope
4x-y=5....solve for y
y=4x-5.......this is slope-intercept form y=mx%2Bb;so, slope is m=4
now find the equation of the line that contains the point (3,-6) and has the slope m=4

Solved by pluggable solver: FIND a line by slope and one point

What we know about the line whose equation we are trying to find out:

  • it goes through point (3, -6)

  • it has a slope of 4



First, let's draw a diagram of the coordinate system with point (3, -6) plotted with a little blue dot:



Write this down: the formula for the equation, given point x%5B1%5D%2C+y%5B1%5D and intercept a, is

y=ax+%2B+%28y%5B1%5D-a%2Ax%5B1%5D%29 (see a paragraph below explaining why this formula is correct)

Given that a=4, and system%28+x%5B1%5D+=+3%2C+y%5B1%5D+=+-6+%29+, we have the equation of the line:

y=4%2Ax+%2B+-18

Explanation: Why did we use formula y=ax+%2B+%28y%5B1%5D+-+a%2Ax%5B1%5D%29 ? Explanation goes here. We are trying to find equation y=ax+b. The value of slope (a) is already given to us. We need to find b. If a point (x%5B1%5D, y%5B1%5D) lies on the line, it means that it satisfies the equation of the line. So, our equation holds for (x%5B1%5D, y%5B1%5D): y%5B1%5D+=+a%2Ax%5B1%5D%2Bb Here, we know a, x%5B1%5D, and y%5B1%5D, and do not know b. It is easy to find out: b=y%5B1%5D-a%2Ax%5B1%5D. So, then, the equation of the line is: +y=ax%2B%28y%5B1%5D-a%2Ax%5B1%5D%29+.

Here's the graph:

given:
P=(-8,4), slope undefined
The slope of a vertical line is undefined because anything divided by zero is undefined.
All you need to do is plot the point P and draw a line parallel to y-axis through x=-8

Answer 449871 by MathLover1(6614) About Me  on 2013-04-11 13:06:50 (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!
an exponential function of the form y=ab%5Ex whose graph passes through the given points (0,2),(-6,17) you can find if you find first what a and b is equal to
plug in given points in y=ab%5Ex and find a
y=ab%5Ex.......if (x=0,y=2), then
2=ab%5E0
2=a%2A1
2=a
now find b

y=ab%5Ex.......if (x=-6,y=17), and 2=a, then
17=2b%5E-6
17=2%281%2Fb%5E6%29
17b%5E6=2
b%5E6=2%2F17
b%5E6=0.118
b=root%286%2C0.118%29
b=0.7003476....round it
b=0.7
so, your exponential function is: y=2%2A0.7%5Ex

Geometry_Word_Problems/736471: if the circumference of the circle is 42cm what is the length of AB if it is 120 degrees?
1 solutions

Answer 449868 by MathLover1(6614) About Me  on 2013-04-11 12:45:47 (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!

if the circumferance of the circle is 42cm

what is the length of AB if it is 120 degrees?
since 120 degrees is 1%2F3 of full central angle in the circle, the length of the arc AB will be 1%2F3 of the circumferance of the circle is
so, AB=%281%2F3%2942cm
AB=14cm

1 solutions

Answer 449840 by MathLover1(6614) About Me  on 2013-04-11 10:14:33 (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!
to cover the floor of a room whose dimensions are 10ft by 6ft if the size of each tile is 6in by 6in you first calculate the area of a room and the area of a tile
let the area of a room be A%5Br%5D and A%5Bt%5D the area of a tile
A%5Br%5D=10ft%2A6ft
A%5Br%5D=60ft%5E2
and A%5Bt%5D=6in%2A6in
A%5Bt%5D=36in%5E2
to get number of tiles you need to divide A%5Br%5D by A%5Bt%5D
since the units are different, first you will need to convert ft to in or in to ft
let's convert in to ft
1+Inch+=+0.08333333333+ft, so the size of each tile is 6%2A0.08333333333+ft by 6%2A0.08333333333+ft which is 0.49999999998+ft by 0.49999999998+ft
then
A%5Bt%5D=0.49999999998ft%2A0.49999999998ft
A%5Bt%5D=0.2499999999800000000004ft%5E2
now we can divide A%5Br%5D by A%5Bt%5D
A%5Br%5D%2FA%5Bt%5D=60ft%5E2%2F0.2499999999800000000004ft%5E2
A%5Br%5D%2FA%5Bt%5D=60fcross%28t%5E2%29%2F0.2499999999800000000004cross%28ft%5E2%29
A%5Br%5D%2FA%5Bt%5D=60%2F0.2499999999800000000004
A%5Br%5D%2FA%5Bt%5D=240...you will need 240 tiles

or covert ft to in: 1ft=12in
10ft=120in by 6ft=72in: A%5Br%5D=120%2A72in%5E2=+8640in%5E2
A%5Br%5D%2FA%5Bt%5D=60ft%5E2%2F36in%5E2=8640in%5E2%2F36in%5E2=240

The area of a circle is the number of square units inside that circle.
To calculate it, you use formula: A=r%5E2pi where r is a radius and we use a constant pi=+3.14

1st is f%28x%29+=+1%2Fx and 2nd f%28x%29+=+1%2Fx,(we can name it g%28x%29+=+1%2Fx
then
f%28f%28x%29%29=+1%2F%28f%28x%29%29=+1%2F%281%2Fx%29=+x....(same as were useing f%28g%28x%29%29%29%0D%0A%0D%0Anow+since+%7B%7B%7Bf%28f%28x%29%29=x use it as first function and f%28x%29+=+1%2Fx as second

Vectors/736435:

Answer 449826 by MathLover1(6614) About Me  on 2013-04-11 08:11:51 (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!
If the domain is { 0, 2, -6 } (means all x values ), you will find the range of y+=+-2x+%2B+3 if you substitute x values in given function:

if x=0...=>...y+=+-2%2A0+%2B+3...=>...y+=++3
if x=2...=>...y+=+-2%2A2+%2B+3...=>...y+=-4%2B++3...=>...y+=-1
if x=-6...=>...y+=+-2%2A%28-6%29+%2B+3...=>...y+=12%2B++3...=>...y+=15
so, the range is: { 3, -1, 15 }


Sequences-and-series/736363: Is 12,40,68,96 sequence geometric or arthmetic? If possible what is the common ratio or difference

1 solutions

Answer 449809 by MathLover1(6614) About Me  on 2013-04-11 00:17:18 (Show Source):

For arithmetic sequences, the common difference is d, and the first term a%5B1%5D is often referred to simply as "a". Since you get the next term by adding the common difference, the value of a%5B2%5D is just a+%2B+d. The third term is a%5B3%5D+=+%28a+%2B+d%29+%2B+d+=+a+%2B+2d. The fourth term is a%5B4%5D+=+%28a+%2B+2d%29+%2B+d+=+a+%2B+3d. Following this pattern, the n-th term an will have the form
a%5Bn%5D+=+a+%2B+d%28n+-1%29.
For geometric sequences, the common ratio is r, and the first term a%5B1%5D is often referred to simply as "a". Since you get the next term by multiplying by the common ratio, the value of a%5B2%5D is just ar. The third term is a%5B3%5D+=+r%28ar%29+=+ar%5E2. The fourth term is a%5B4%5D+=+r%28ar%5E2%29+=+ar%5E3. Following this pattern, the n-th term an will have the form
a%5Bn%5D+=+ar%5E%28n+-1%29.
in your case 12,40,68,96 sequence is have the form
common difference is 28 and the greatest common divisor is 4
first term is 12 and if divided by 4, we get 3 that could be written as 7n-4 starting with n=1 and up

so, the recursive formula is:
a%5Bn%5D=4%287n-4%29
and this is arithmetic sequence

Functions/736264: what is the relationship between x and y if: x=1,2,3,4,5 and y=3.75, 7.5, 11.25, 15, 18.75

1 solutions

Answer 449748 by MathLover1(6614) About Me  on 2013-04-10 19:56:04 (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!

take a look at ordered pairs
if x=1 then y=3.75
if x=2 then y=7.5 which is actually 2%2A3.75
if x=3 then y=11.25 which is actually 3%2A3.75
if x=4 then y=15 which is actually 4%2A3.75

if x=5 then y=18.75 which is actually 5%2A3.75
so, the relationship between x and y is:
y=3.75x

Linear-equations/736110: What is the slope of the line with the equation 2x+3y+6=0?
1 solutions

Answer 449670 by MathLover1(6614) About Me  on 2013-04-10 13:42:31 (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!

first write 2x%2B3y%2B6=0 in slope-intercept form y=mx%2Bb where m is slope and b is y-intercept
2x%2B3y%2B6=0...solve for y
3y=-2x-6
y=-%282%2F3%29x-6%2F3
y=-%282%2F3%29x-2
so, the slope of the line with the equation 2x%2B3y%2B6=0 is m=-%282%2F3%29
