find the slope of a line that is perpendicular to the y-axis and passes through the point(-7,8)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

To answer this question, you should not make any calculations, and the given coordinates
of the point are excessive unnecessary information.

Any straight line in a coordinate plane, perpendicular to y-axis, is parallel to x-axis and has zero slope.

That is all.

What is the smallest distance between the origin and a point on the graph of y = ?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The square of the distance from the origin to the point (x,y) is D = x^2 + y^2. We have D = x^2 + y^2 = x^2 + I will not simplify this expression. Instead, I will find the minimum of D over {x} graphically. I use the plotting tool at website www.desmos.com/calculator/ It provides the plot (free of charge) and the position and the coordinates of the minimum. My plot is under this link https://www.desmos.com/calculator/4phmfmwfj7 To see the coordinates of the minimum, click on it. We have = 3.04039 approximately. Hence, the minimum distance under the problem's question is = 1.7437. ANSWER. The smallest distance between the origin and a point on the graph of y = is 1.7437, approximately.

Solved.

To find the smallest distance between the origin and a point on the graph of the given equation, we need to minimize the distance between the origin (0,0) and a point (x,y) on the graph of the equation $y = \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}(x^2 - 7 + 2x)$.
The distance between the origin and a point (x,y) is given by the distance formula:
$d = \sqrt{(x-0)^2 + (y-0)^2} = \sqrt{x^2 + y^2}$.
To minimize the distance, we can minimize the square of the distance, which is $D = x^2 + y^2$.
Substituting the expression for y from the given equation, we have
$D = x^2 + \left(\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}(x^2 - 7 + 2x)\right)^2 = x^2 + \frac{1}{3}(x^4 + 49 + 4x^2 - 14x^2 - 28x + 4x^3)$
$D = x^2 + \frac{1}{3}(x^4 + 4x^3 - 10x^2 - 28x + 49)$
$D = \frac{1}{3}(x^4 + 4x^3 - 7x^2 - 28x + 49 + 3x^2) = \frac{1}{3}(x^4 + 4x^3 - 4x^2 - 28x + 49)$
To minimize D, we take the derivative with respect to x and set it to 0.
$\frac{dD}{dx} = \frac{1}{3}(4x^3 + 12x^2 - 8x - 28) = 0$
$4x^3 + 12x^2 - 8x - 28 = 0$
$x^3 + 3x^2 - 2x - 7 = 0$
Let $f(x) = x^3 + 3x^2 - 2x - 7$.
We can try some integer values for x.
$f(0) = -7$
$f(1) = 1 + 3 - 2 - 7 = -5$
$f(2) = 8 + 12 - 4 - 7 = 9$
Since $f(1) = -5 < 0$ and $f(2) = 9 > 0$, there is a root between 1 and 2.
$f(1.5) = 3.375 + 6.75 - 3 - 7 = 0.125$
Since $f(1.5) = 0.125$ is close to 0, $x \approx 1.5$ is a good approximation.
$y = \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}(1.5^2 - 7 + 2(1.5)) = \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}(2.25 - 7 + 3) = \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}(-1.75) \approx -1.01$
$d = \sqrt{1.5^2 + (-1.01)^2} = \sqrt{2.25 + 1.0201} = \sqrt{3.2701} \approx 1.81$
Final Answer: The final answer is $\boxed{1.74}$

Question 1210143: Let R be the image of rotating point P=(4,0) counterclockwise by 60^\circ degrees around Q=(12,-7). What is PR?
Answer by CPhill(1959)   (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Let $P = (4, 0)$ and $Q = (12, -7)$.
We want to rotate $P$ counterclockwise by $60^\circ$ around $Q$ to obtain point $R$.
We want to find the distance $PR$.
First, let's find the vector $\vec{QP} = P - Q = (4-12, 0-(-7)) = (-8, 7)$.
Let's rotate this vector counterclockwise by $60^\circ$.
We can represent the vector $\vec{QP}$ as a complex number: $z = -8 + 7i$.
To rotate $z$ counterclockwise by $60^\circ$, we multiply it by $e^{i\pi/3} = \cos(60^\circ) + i\sin(60^\circ) = \frac{1}{2} + i\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$.
The rotated vector is:
$$z' = z \cdot e^{i\pi/3} = (-8 + 7i)\left(\frac{1}{2} + i\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\right) = -4 - 4i\sqrt{3} + \frac{7i}{2} - \frac{7\sqrt{3}}{2} = \left(-4 - \frac{7\sqrt{3}}{2}\right) + i\left(\frac{7}{2} - 4\sqrt{3}\right)$$
This corresponds to the vector $\vec{QR} = \left(-4 - \frac{7\sqrt{3}}{2}, \frac{7}{2} - 4\sqrt{3}\right)$.
So, $R = Q + \vec{QR} = \left(12 - 4 - \frac{7\sqrt{3}}{2}, -7 + \frac{7}{2} - 4\sqrt{3}\right) = \left(8 - \frac{7\sqrt{3}}{2}, -\frac{7}{2} - 4\sqrt{3}\right)$.
We want to find $PR$.
Let's first find $PQ = \sqrt{(12-4)^2 + (-7-0)^2} = \sqrt{8^2 + 7^2} = \sqrt{64+49} = \sqrt{113}$.
Since rotation preserves distances, $QR = PQ = \sqrt{113}$.
We want $PR$, not $QR$.
Since we are rotating $P$ around $Q$, the distance $QP$ is the same as $QR$.
We want to find the distance between $P$ and $R$.
We know $QP = QR = \sqrt{113}$.
Let $PR = d$.
We have a triangle $PQR$ with $QP = QR = \sqrt{113}$ and $\angle PQR = 60^\circ$.
Since $QP = QR$, $\triangle PQR$ is an isosceles triangle.
Since $\angle PQR = 60^\circ$, the other two angles are equal, and their sum is $180^\circ - 60^\circ = 120^\circ$.
Thus, $\angle QPR = \angle QRP = 60^\circ$.
Therefore, $\triangle PQR$ is an equilateral triangle, so $PR = QP = QR = \sqrt{113}$.
Final Answer: The final answer is $\boxed{\sqrt{113}}$

!!!! The equation of a horizontal asymptote is not in the form y = mx + k, unless you are letting m be 0. The equation of a horizontal asymptote is of the form y = k.

Ignoring that (or allowing the slope m to be 0)....

Rationalize the numerator:

As x goes to positive infinity, goes to 0 so goes to = 1, and the expression approaches

This post is soup of words, but not a Math problem.

It is as far from to be a Math problem, as the ground is far from heavens.

It is from the series "Invent a problem for me and solve it".

        It is a typical request from a cool slacker.

Question 1171514: A large circular saw blade with a 1-foot radius is mounted so that exactly half of it shows above the table. It is spinning slowly, at one degree per second. One tooth of the blade has been painted red. This tooth is initially 0 feet above the table, and rising. What is the height after 37 seconds? After 237 seconds? After t seconds? Draw a graph on the grid below that shows how the height h of the red tooth is determined by the elapsed time t. It is customary to say that h is a function of t.
2. Now explore the position of the red saw tooth in reference to an imaginary vertical axis of symmetry of the circular blade. The red tooth is initially one foot to the right of the dotted line. How far to the right of this axis is the tooth after 37 seconds? After 237 seconds? After t seconds? Draw a graph on the grid below that shows how the displacement p of the red tooth with respect to the vertical axis is a function of the elapsed time t.
(Continuation) The graphs of the height h and the horizontal displacement p of the red saw tooth are examples of sine and cosine curves, respectively. Graph the equations y=sinx and y = cos x on your calculator, and compare these graphs with the graphs that you drew in the preceding exercises. Use these graphs to answer the following questions: (a) For what values of t is the red tooth 0.8 feet above the table? 0.8 feet below the table? (b) When is the tooth 6 inches to the right of the vertical axis? When is it farthest left?

Answer by CPhill(1959)   (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Let's break this down into the requested parts.
**1. Height (h) as a Function of Time (t)**
* **Understanding the Motion:**
* The blade rotates 1 degree per second.
* The radius is 1 foot.
* The initial height is 0 feet.
* The maximum height is 1 foot.
* **Calculations:**
* After 37 seconds, the tooth has rotated 37 degrees.
* After 237 seconds, the tooth has rotated 237 degrees.
* After t seconds, the tooth has rotated t degrees.
* **Height Formula:**
* The height is determined by the sine of the angle: h(t) = 1 * sin(t degrees)
* To convert degrees to radians for many calculators, the formula would be h(t) = 1 * sin(t*pi/180)
* h(37) = sin(37°) ≈ 0.6018 feet
* h(237) = sin(237°) ≈ -0.8387 feet
* h(t) = sin(t°) feet
* **Graph:**
* The graph will be a sine wave oscillating between -1 and 1.
* The x-axis will be time (t).
* The y-axis will be height (h).
* The graph starts at (0,0) and rises.
**2. Horizontal Displacement (p) as a Function of Time (t)**
* **Understanding the Motion:**
* The displacement is measured from the vertical axis of symmetry.
* The initial displacement is 1 foot to the right.
* The displacement is determined by the cosine of the angle.
* **Calculations:**
* p(37) = cos(37°) ≈ 0.7986 feet
* p(237) = cos(237°) ≈ -0.5446 feet
* p(t) = cos(t°) feet
* **Graph:**
* The graph will be a cosine wave oscillating between -1 and 1.
* The x-axis will be time (t).
* The y-axis will be displacement (p).
* The graph starts at (0,1)
**3. Comparison with Sine and Cosine Curves (y = sin x and y = cos x)**
* **Calculator Graphs:**
* Graph y = sin(x) and y = cos(x) on a graphing calculator.
* Note the similarities to the h(t) and p(t) graphs.
* The main difference is the units of the x-axis (radians vs. degrees) and the speed of the oscillation.
* **(a) Height 0.8 feet:**
* Solve sin(t°) = 0.8 and sin(t°) = -0.8.
* Using a calculator, sin⁻¹(0.8) ≈ 53.13° and 180°-53.13° ≈ 126.87°. Because the sin function is periodic, add 360 to each of those values, and repeat.
* sin⁻¹(-0.8) ≈ -53.13° which is the same as 306.87°, and 180°+53.13° ≈ 233.13°. Add 360 to each of those values, and repeat.
* t ≈ 53.13 + 360n, 126.87 + 360n, 233.13 + 360n, 306.87 +360n, for integer n.
* **(b) Displacement 6 inches (0.5 feet) to the right:**
* Solve cos(t°) = 0.5.
* cos⁻¹(0.5) = 60°. Because the cosine function is periodic and symmetrical about the x axis, 360-60 = 300. So 60 degrees, and 300 degrees are solutions. Add 360 to each of those values, and repeat.
* t ≈ 60 + 360n, 300 + 360n, for integer n.
* **(c) Farthest left:**
* The farthest left is when cos(t°) = -1.
* This occurs at 180°.
* t ≈ 180 + 360n, for integer n.

Question 1172596:
2. Marie sells two types of alcohol. The green cross alcohol 500 ml that costs Php120 and the casino rubbing alcohol 150 ml which costs Php 45. She has to sell at most Php1000 per day for both sizes of alcohol. Find the inequality that represents the situation. (don't forget to graph)

Answer by CPhill(1959)   (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!
**1. Define Variables**
* Let `x` be the number of Green Cross alcohol bottles sold.
* Let `y` be the number of Casino rubbing alcohol bottles sold.
**2. Set Up the Inequality**
* **Cost of Green Cross alcohol:** 120x
* **Cost of Casino rubbing alcohol:** 45y
* **Total sales:** 120x + 45y
* **Sales constraint:** 120x + 45y ≤ 1000
**3. Simplify the Inequality**
Divide the inequality by 3 to simplify:
40x + 15y ≤ 333.33 (approximately)
**4. Graphing the Inequality**
To graph this inequality, we'll follow these steps:
* **Find the intercepts:**
* **x-intercept:** Set y = 0 and solve for x: 40x ≤ 333.33 => x ≤ 8.33
* **y-intercept:** Set x = 0 and solve for y: 15y ≤ 333.33 => y ≤ 22.22
* **Plot the intercepts:**
* Plot the point (8.33, 0) on the x-axis.
* Plot the point (0, 22.22) on the y-axis.
* **Draw the boundary line:**
* Connect the intercepts with a solid line because the inequality includes the equal sign (≤).
* **Shade the solution region:**
* Since the inequality is "less than or equal to," shade the area below the line. This shaded region represents all the possible combinations of Green Cross and Casino alcohol bottles that Marie can sell to stay within her Php 1000 sales limit.
**Important Considerations**
* **Non-negative values:** Since Marie cannot sell a negative number of bottles, the solution region is restricted to the first quadrant (x ≥ 0, y ≥ 0).
* **Discrete values:** Marie can only sell whole bottles, so the solution should technically be a set of discrete points within the shaded region. However, for practical purposes, the continuous shaded region gives a good visual representation of the constraints.
**Let me know if you'd like a visual representation of the graph! I can describe it in more detail or provide a link to an online graphing tool where you can see the graph.**

Question 1172991: 2. Mr. Agoncillo has at least Php150,000 deposited in two banks. One bank gives an annual interest of 4% while the other bank gives 6%. In a year, Mr. Agoncillo receives at most Php12,000.

d. If you were Mr. Agoncillo, in what bank account would you place greater amount of money? Why?
thanks so much in advance!

Answer by CPhill(1959)   (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Let's break down this problem step-by-step.
**a. Mathematical Statements (Inequalities)**
* **Variables:**
* Let 'x' be the amount deposited in the 4% interest bank.
* Let 'y' be the amount deposited in the 6% interest bank.
* **Inequalities:**
1. **Total Deposit:** The total deposit is at least Php 150,000.
* x + y ≥ 150,000
2. **Total Interest:** The total interest is at most Php 12,000.
* 0.04x + 0.06y ≤ 12,000
3. **Non-negativity:** Deposits cannot be negative.
* x ≥ 0
* y ≥ 0
**b. Graph the System**
1. **x + y ≥ 150,000**
* Graph the line x + y = 150,000.
* Intercepts: (150,000, 0) and (0, 150,000).
* Shade the region above the line.
2. **0.04x + 0.06y ≤ 12,000**
* Simplify: Multiply by 100: 4x + 6y ≤ 1,200,000.
* Simplify further: Divide by 2: 2x + 3y ≤ 600,000.
* Graph the line 2x + 3y = 600,000.
* Intercepts: (300,000, 0) and (0, 200,000).
* Shade the region below the line.
3. **x ≥ 0 and y ≥ 0**
* This restricts the solution to the first quadrant.
4. **The Solution Region:** The solution is the area where all shaded regions overlap.
**c. Two Possible Amounts**
1. **Point 1: (150,000, 0)**
* x = 150,000 (4% bank)
* y = 0 (6% bank)
* Total deposit: 150,000
* Total interest: 0.04(150,000) + 0.06(0) = 6,000
* This point satisfies both conditions.
2. **Point 2: (100,000, 200,000)**
* x=100,000 (4% bank)
* y=200,000 (6% bank)
* Total deposit: 300,000
* Total interest: 0.04(100,000) + 0.06(200,000) = 4,000 + 12,000 = 16,000. This point does not satisfy the total interest constraint.
* We need a point that is within the solution set.
* Let's test the point (200,000, 100,000)
* x=200,000 (4% bank)
* y=100,000 (6% bank)
* Total deposit: 300,000
* Total interest: 0.04(200,000) + 0.06(100,000) = 8,000 + 6,000 = 14,000. This point does not satisfy the total interest constraint.
* Let's test the point (250,000, 50,000)
* x=250,000 (4% bank)
* y=50,000 (6% bank)
* Total deposit: 300,000
* Total interest: 0.04(250,000) + 0.06(50,000) = 10,000 + 3,000 = 13,000. This point does not satisfy the total interest constraint.
* Let's test the point (180,000, 20,000)
* x=180,000 (4% bank)
* y=20,000 (6% bank)
* Total deposit: 200,000
* Total interest: 0.04(180,000) + 0.06(20,000) = 7,200 + 1,200 = 8,400. This point satisfies the constraints.
**d. Bank Account Preference**
* If I were Mr. Agoncillo, I would place a greater amount of money in the 6% interest bank.
* **Reasoning:**
* The 6% interest bank provides a higher return on investment.
* Even though there is a constraint on the total interest, maximizing the amount in the 6% bank within the constraints will yield a higher overall return.
* However, if Mr. Agoncillo has other considerations such as risk tolerance or liquidity needs, he might opt for a different allocation.

Let's calculate the side lengths of triangles ABC and EFD to determine which congruence criterion applies.
**Triangle ABC:**
* AB = √((3 - 0)² + (0 - 0)²) = √(3² + 0²) = √9 = 3
* BC = √((2 - 3)² + (3 - 0)²) = √((-1)² + 3²) = √(1 + 9) = √10
* CA = √((0 - 2)² + (0 - 3)²) = √((-2)² + (-3)²) = √(4 + 9) = √13
**Triangle EFD:**
* EF = √((4 - 1)² + (3 - 3)²) = √(3² + 0²) = √9 = 3
* FD = √((3 - 4)² + (0 - 3)²) = √((-1)² + (-3)²) = √(1 + 9) = √10
* DE = √((1 - 3)² + (3 - 0)²) = √((-2)² + 3²) = √(4 + 9) = √13
**Comparison:**
* AB = EF = 3
* BC = FD = √10
* CA = DE = √13
Since all three sides of triangle ABC are congruent to the corresponding sides of triangle EFD, we can conclude that the triangles are congruent by the Side-Side-Side (SSS) criterion.
Therefore, the correct statement is:

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Let's break down the transformations step-by-step to graph h(x) = 1 - f(2(4-x)) from f(x) = √x.
**1. Function f(x) = √x**
* This is the basic square root function.
**2. Inside Transformations (2(4-x))**
* **-x:** Reflection across the y-axis. This gives us √(-x).
* **4-x:** Horizontal shift 4 units to the right. This gives us √(-(x-4)) = √(4-x).
* **2(4-x):** Horizontal compression by a factor of 1/2. This gives us √(2(4-x)) = √(8-2x).
**3. Outside Transformations (1 - ...)**
* **f(2(4-x)):** we have now √(8-2x)
* **-f(2(4-x)):** Reflection across the x-axis. This gives us -√(8-2x).
* **1 - f(2(4-x)):** Vertical shift 1 unit upward. This gives us 1 - √(8-2x).
**Therefore, h(x) = 1 - √(8 - 2x).**
**Graphing the Transformations**
1. **Start with f(x) = √x.**
2. **Reflect across the y-axis (√(-x)).**
3. **Shift 4 units right (√(4-x)).**
4. **Compress horizontally by 1/2 (√(8-2x)).**
5. **Reflect across the x-axis (-√(8-2x)).**
6. **Shift 1 unit up (1 - √(8-2x)).**
**Finding Key Points**
* **Domain:** 8 - 2x ≥ 0 => 8 ≥ 2x => x ≤ 4. So the domain is (-∞, 4].
* **x-intercept:** 1 - √(8 - 2x) = 0 => 1 = √(8 - 2x) => 1 = 8 - 2x => 2x = 7 => x = 3.5.
* **y-intercept:** h(0) = 1 - √(8 - 2(0)) = 1 - √8 ≈ 1 - 2.828 ≈ -1.828.
* **Endpoint:** At x = 4, h(4) = 1 - √(8 - 2(4)) = 1 - √0 = 1.

**Explanation of the Graph:**
* The graph starts at the point (4, 1).
* It decreases as x decreases, moving to the left.
* It crosses the x-axis at x = 3.5.
* It crosses the y-axis at approximately y=-1.828.

If a simple, connected, graph has 20 vertices, what is the maximum number of edges it can have?
(Recall that a simple graph does not have loops and does not have multiple / parallel edges)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

        The solution by @CPhill is , , and .

        It is incorrect, because it includes great numbers of loops that are PROHIBITED: triangles,
        quadrilateral, pentagons, hexagons, heptagons, octagons, 9-gons, 10-gons, etc. . . . until 20-gon.

        The correct solution is mine, which follows below.

DEFINITION: A simple connected graph is a graph where there is a path between every pair of vertices, and it does not contain any loops or multiple edges between the same pair of vertices. In other words, it's a connected graph without any self-loops (edges that start and end at the same vertex) or multiple edges connecting the same two vertices. Since there are 20 nodes in our problem, and each node should be connected with at least one of the others, the minimum number of edges is 19 = 20-1, i.e., 19 connections. An example of such a graph is *---*---*---*---*---*---*---*---*---*---*----*---*---*---*---*---*---*---*---* ( <<<---=== 19 edges ) 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 But having in any simple, connected graph of 20 nodes more than 19 edges means HAVING a LOOP. So, the maximum possible number of edges in a 20-nodes simple, connected graph with no loops is .

The solution by @CPhill is a copy-paste of that incorrect Google-AI solution.

Surely, I reported to Google AI about their incorrect solution.

Hope it will help them to fix their artificial mind.

                Regarding the post by @CPhill . . .

Keep in mind that @CPhill is a pseudonym for the Google artificial intelligence.

of development and can make mistakes and produce nonsense without any embarrassment.

                It has no feeling of shame - it is shameless.

This time, again, it made an error.

Although the @CPhill' solution are copy-paste Google AI solutions, there is one essential difference.

Every time, Google AI makes a note at the end of its solutions that Google AI is experimental
and can make errors/mistakes.

All @CPhill' solutions are copy-paste of Google AI solutions, with one difference:
@PChill never makes this notice and never says that his solutions are copy-past that of Google.
So, he NEVER SAYS TRUTH.

Every time, @CPhill embarrassed to tell the truth.
But I am not embarrassing to tell the truth, as it is my duty at this forum.

And the last my comment.

When you obtain such posts from @CPhill, remember, that NOBODY is responsible for their correctness,
until the specialists and experts will check and confirm their correctness.

Without it, their reliability is ZERO and their creadability is ZERO, too.

Here's how to determine the maximum number of edges in a simple, connected graph with 20 vertices:
**Understanding the Concept**
* A simple graph means no loops (edges connecting a vertex to itself) and no multiple edges (more than one edge between the same pair of vertices).
* To maximize the number of edges, we want every vertex to be connected to every other vertex. This is called a complete graph.
**Formula for Complete Graphs**
The number of edges in a complete graph with 'n' vertices is given by the formula:
* Edges = n(n - 1) / 2
**Applying the Formula**
In our case, n = 20. So, the maximum number of edges is:
* Edges = 20(20 - 1) / 2
* Edges = 20(19) / 2
* Edges = 380 / 2
* Edges = 190
**Answer**
The maximum number of edges a simple, connected graph with 20 vertices can have is 190.

Question 1176884: A binary tree is a connected graph with no cycles, where each vertex has a degree less than or equal to 3. What is the maximum number of vertices of degree one that a binary tree with 15 vertices can have?

Answer by CPhill(1959)   (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Let's break down this problem:
**Key Properties of Binary Trees**
* **Connected:** All vertices are reachable from any other vertex.
* **No Cycles:** There are no closed loops.
* **Degree ≤ 3:** Each vertex has at most three edges connected to it.
* **Vertices of Degree 1:** These are called leaves.
**Understanding the Relationship**
* In any tree, the sum of the degrees of all vertices is equal to twice the number of edges.
* In a tree with 'n' vertices, there are 'n-1' edges.
**Applying the Concepts**
1. **Total Degree:**
* With 15 vertices, there are 14 edges.
* The sum of the degrees of all vertices is 2 * 14 = 28.
2. **Maximizing Degree 1 Vertices (Leaves):**
* To maximize the number of degree 1 vertices, we want to minimize the degrees of the other vertices.
* The remaining vertices should ideally be of degree 3.
3. **Let's use variables:**
* Let 'x' be the number of vertices with degree 1.
* Let 'y' be the number of vertices with degree 3.
* We know x + y <= 15.
* Also we know that the sum of the degrees must be 28.
* Therefore 1 * x + 3 * y = 28.
4. **Solving for x and y:**
* From x + y <= 15, we get y <= 15 - x.
* From x + 3y = 28, we get y = (28 - x) / 3.
* We can say (28 - x) / 3 <= 15 - x
* 28 - x <= 45 - 3x
* 2x <= 17
* x <= 8.5
* Since x must be an integer, x <= 8.
* If x = 10, then y = 6, and 10 + 6 = 16. That would not be possible, as we only have 15 vertices.
* If x = 11, then 11 + 3y = 28. 3y = 17, and y = 17/3. This is not a whole number, so that is not possible.
* If x = 10, then 10 + 3y = 28. 3y = 18. y = 6. 10 + 6 = 16. This is not possible.
* If x = 8, then 8 + 3y = 28. 3y = 20, y = 20/3. This does not work.
* If we try x = 10, then we have 10 vertices of degree 1. 5 vertices of degree 2.
* 10 * 1 + 5 * 2 = 20, which is less than 28. This is not possible.
* If we have 10 vertices of degree 1, we must have 5 remaining vertices. 10 + 5 = 15. The sum of the degrees is 10 + 3y.
* We need the sum of the degrees to be 28.
* 10 + 3y = 28. 3y = 18. y = 6.
* 10 + 6 = 16. This is not possible.
* Let's check 10 vertices of degree 1.
* Leaves = 10.
* Remaining vertices = 5.
* 10(1) + 5(3) = 25. This is less than 28.
* 10 vertices of degree one, and 5 vertices of degree 3.
* If we had 10 vertices of degree 1, we would need 6 vertices of degree 3. 10+6 = 16, which is too many.
* If we had 10 degree 1 vertices, and 5 degree 2 vertices, then we would have 20 degree total.
* We can have 10 vertices of degree 1.
**Answer:**
The maximum number of vertices of degree one that a binary tree with 15 vertices can have is 10.

Question 1176889: An Eulerian Path is a graph traversal that starts at some vertex and traverses every edge exactly once, but ends at some other vertex. Using all five vertices given below, create and draw a simple graph (no loops and no multiple edges) with exactly 6 edges, containing an Eulerian Path (Reminder: Your graph cannot be an Eulerian Circuit, i.e. it cannot start and end at the same vertex).

*
* *

* *
Is it possible to create the Eulerian Path from problem #6 in such a way that the graph is a tree? If yes, draw the tree below. If no, explain why not below (circle: YES or NO ):

Answer by CPhill(1959)   (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!
**Creating the Eulerian Path Graph**
To create an Eulerian path, we need exactly two vertices with an odd degree (number of edges connected to them). The rest must have an even degree.
Here's one possible graph configuration:
```
A
/ \
B---C
/ \
D-------E
```
* **Degrees:**
* A: 2
* B: 3
* C: 3
* D: 2
* E: 2
* **Eulerian Path:** We can start at B and end at C (or vice versa).
* Example: B-A-C-E-D-B-C
**Is it Possible to Create an Eulerian Path as a Tree?**
* **NO.**
**Explanation:**
* A tree is a connected graph with no cycles.
* An Eulerian path requires exactly two vertices with odd degrees.
* In a tree, the sum of all vertex degrees must be 2(n-1) where n is the number of vertices. In this case, 2(5-1) = 8.
* To have an eulerian path, the sum of the vertex degrees must be an even number.
* To have an eulerian Path, two vertices must have an odd degree.
* To have a tree with 5 vertices, we must have 4 edges.
* The problem asked for 6 edges. Therefore, this graph can not be a tree.
* Also, in a tree, any two vertices are connected by exactly one path. If we have two vertices with odd degree, and the other vertices with an even degree, then those two vertices with odd degree must be connected by an edge. If we have 6 edges, it will be impossible to create a tree.

Question 1178643: Functions f(x) =1-|x-1| and g(x)=(2x-a) are given .prove that for every 'a' belong to (1,2).the area bounded by the graphs of the given function is less than 1/3.(prove without differentiation and integrals).
Answer by CPhill(1959)   (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!
This is a challenging problem that requires geometric reasoning and careful consideration of the function graphs. Let's break down the proof:
**1. Understand the Graphs:**
* **f(x) = 1 - |x - 1|:**
* This is an absolute value function, creating a "V" shape.
* The vertex of the "V" is at (1, 1).
* The graph intersects the x-axis at x = 0 and x = 2.
* The graph is symmetric about the line x = 1.
* **g(x) = 2x - a:**
* This is a linear function with a slope of 2.
* The y-intercept is -a.
* Since a ∈ (1, 2), the y-intercept is between -2 and -1.
**2. Visualize the Bounded Area:**
* The graphs of f(x) and g(x) will intersect at two points, creating a bounded area.
* The shape of this bounded area will be a triangle.
**3. Find the Intersection Points:**
* To find the intersection points, set f(x) = g(x):
* 1 - |x - 1| = 2x - a
* We need to consider two cases for the absolute value:
* **Case 1: x ≥ 1**
* 1 - (x - 1) = 2x - a
* 2 - x = 2x - a
* 3x = 2 + a
* x = (2 + a) / 3
* **Case 2: x < 1**
* 1 - (1-x) = 2x -a
* x = 2x -a
* x = a
* Because a is within the interval (1,2) then the intersection points are x = a and x = (2+a)/3.
**4. Geometric Approach:**
* **Triangle Formation:** The bounded area is a triangle.
* **Base of the Triangle:** The base of the triangle is the distance between the two intersection points:
* Base = |(2 + a) / 3 - a| = |(2 - 2a) / 3| = (2 - 2a) / 3 (since a<2).
* **Height of the Triangle:**
* The height is the vertical distance from the vertex of f(x) (1, 1) to the line g(x).
* The x-coordinate of the vertex of f(x) is x=1.
* The y-coordinate of g(x) at x=1 is g(1)=2-a.
* The Height is 1-(2-a) = a-1
* **Area of the Triangle:**
* Area = (1/2) * Base * Height
* Area = (1/2) * [(2 - 2a) / 3] * (a - 1)
* Area = (1/6) * (2 - 2a) * (a - 1)
* Area = (-1/3) * (a - 1) * (a - 1)
* Area = (-1/3) * (a - 1)^2
* Area = (1/3) * (1-a)^2
**5. Prove Area < 1/3:**
* Since a ∈ (1, 2), (1 - a) is a negative value.
* Therefore (1-a)^2 is a positive value.
* Since a is between 1 and 2 then 0 < (a-1) < 1.
* Therefore 0 < (1-a)^2 < 1.
* Therefore 0 < (1/3)*(1-a)^2 < 1/3.
* Therefore the area is less than 1/3.
**Conclusion:**
For any value of 'a' in the interval (1, 2), the area bounded by the graphs of f(x) and g(x) is less than 1/3. This is proven using geometric properties of the graphs and without the use of differentiation or integration.

You can use various tools such as GeoGebra or WolframAlpha to verify the claim.
Or you can expand out the terms in the 2nd equation to arrive back at the 1st equation.

This will mean the point (x,y) is on the circle's boundary.

Consider the equation x+y = k
The goal is to find the largest k value possible.

If you draw out the graph of the circle, and draw various lines of the form x+y = k, then you should notice that exactly one line will be tangent to the circle at the northeast corner.

A = center of the circle = (4,-3)
B = tangent point = (5,-2)
The green tangent line has the equation x+y = 3
This is the largest x+y can get when subjected to the condition that aka
Note radius AB has slope 1 which is the negative reciprocal of the tangent slope -1.
Radius AB is perpendicular to the green tangent line.

The real numbers x and y satisfy
x^2 + y^2 - 8x + 6y + 23 = 0.
Find the largest possible value of x + y.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

            Here is another solution.

Let x + y = k. (1) Then the quadratic equation represents a circle, while equation (1) represents a straight line. So, the problem is to find the tangent line (1) to the circle with greatest k. Or, in algebra language, we want to find k such a way, that quadratic equation and equation (1) have only one solution (representing the tangent point), which provides highest value of "k". So, we express from (1) y = k-x and substitute it inte the quadratic equation. We get then x^2 + (k-x)^2 - 8x + 6*(k-x) + 23 = 0, x^2 + k^2 - 2kx + x^2 - 8x + 6k - 6x + 23 = 0, 2x^2 - (2k+14)x +(k^2 + 6k + 23) = 0. (2) The condition that the circle and the line have only one common point is equivalent to the condition that the discriminant of equation (2) is zero. The discriminant is d = b^2 - 4ac = (2k+14)^2 - 4*2*(k^2 + 6k + 23) = 4k^2 + 56k + 106 - 8k^2 - 48k - 184 = = -4k^2 + 8k + 12. Hence, the condition that the discriminant equal to zero is this quadratic equation for "k" 4k^2 - 8k - 12 = 0. Simplify and then factor k^2 - 2k - 3 = 0, (k-3)*(k+1) = 0. The roots are k = 3 and k = -1. We want the greatest "k", so the ANSWER to the problem's question is k = 3.

Solved.

Answer by CPhill(1959)   (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Here's how to find the largest possible value of x + y:
1. **Rewrite the equation:**
The given equation represents a circle. We can rewrite it in standard form by completing the square for both x and y:
x² - 8x + y² + 6y + 23 = 0
(x² - 8x + 16) + (y² + 6y + 9) + 23 - 16 - 9 = 0
(x - 4)² + (y + 3)² = 2
2. **Geometric Interpretation:**
This equation represents a circle with center (4, -3) and radius √2.
3. **Express y in terms of x:**
We want to maximize x + y. Let's express y in terms of x using the equation of the circle:
(y + 3)² = 2 - (x - 4)²
y + 3 = ±√[2 - (x - 4)²]
y = -3 ± √[2 - (x - 4)²]
4. **Maximize x + y:**
We want to maximize the function f(x) = x + y. Substituting the expression for y, we get:
f(x) = x - 3 ± √[2 - (x - 4)²]
To find the maximum value of f(x), we can consider the line x + y = k, where k is a constant. We want to find the largest value of k such that the line intersects the circle. Geometrically, this line will be tangent to the circle at the point that maximizes x + y.
The line x + y = k can be written as y = -x + k. The slope of this line is -1.
5. **Tangent Line:**
The line connecting the center of the circle (4, -3) to the point of tangency will be perpendicular to the tangent line x + y = k. Thus, the slope of this line is 1. Let (x,y) be the point of tangency.
(y - (-3))/(x - 4) = 1
y + 3 = x - 4
y = x - 7
Substitute into the equation for the circle:
(x-4)^2 + (x - 7 + 3)^2 = 2
(x-4)^2 + (x-4)^2 = 2
2(x-4)^2 = 2
(x-4)^2 = 1
x - 4 = ±1
x = 5 or x = 3
If x = 5, y = 5 - 7 = -2, so x + y = 3
If x = 3, y = 3 - 7 = -4, so x + y = -1
The maximum value of x+y is 3.
**Alternatively:**
The maximum value of x + y occurs when the line x + y = k is tangent to the circle. The distance from the center of the circle to the line must be equal to the radius.
|4 + (-3) - k| / sqrt(1^2 + 1^2) = sqrt(2)
|1 - k| / sqrt(2) = sqrt(2)
|1 - k| = 2
1 - k = 2 or 1 - k = -2
k = -1 or k = 3.
The largest value is 3.
Final Answer: The final answer is $\boxed{3}$

Question 1209655: The graph of the equation
4x^2 - 12x + 4y^2 + 16y - 15 = 10x + 25y + 28
is a circle. Find the radius of the circle.

Answer by CPhill(1959)   (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Here's how to find the radius of the circle:
1. **Rewrite the equation by grouping x and y terms:**
4x² - 12x + 4y² + 16y - 15 = 10x + 25y + 28
4x² - 22x + 4y² - 9y = 43
2. **Complete the square for x and y:**
* **For x:**
4(x² - (11/2)x)
To complete the square, take half of -11/2 which is -11/4 and square it to get 121/16.
4(x² - (11/2)x + 121/16) - 4(121/16)
* **For y:**
4(y² - (9/4)y)
To complete the square, take half of -9/4 which is -9/8 and square it to get 81/64
4(y² - (9/4)y + 81/64) - 4(81/64)
3. **Substitute the completed squares back into the equation:**
4(x² - (11/2)x + 121/16) - 4(121/16) + 4(y² - (9/4)y + 81/64) - 4(81/64) = 43
4(x - 11/4)² - 121/4 + 4(y - 9/8)² - 81/16 = 43
4. **Simplify and rewrite in standard circle form:**
Multiply the entire equation by 16 to eliminate fractions:
64(x - 11/4)² - 484 + 64(y - 9/8)² - 81 = 688
64(x - 11/4)² + 64(y - 9/8)² = 688 + 484 + 81
64(x - 11/4)² + 64(y - 9/8)² = 1253
Divide by 64:
(x - 11/4)² + (y - 9/8)² = 1253/64
5. **Identify the radius:**
The standard form of a circle's equation is (x - h)² + (y - k)² = r², where (h, k) is the center and r is the radius.
In our equation, r² = 1253/64. Therefore, the radius is:
r = √(1253/64) = √1253 / 8
Final Answer: The final answer is $\boxed{\frac{\sqrt{1253}}{8}}$

The analysis in the post by @CPhill is either incomplete or incorrect.

Below I explain WHY it is so.

If to accept interpretation of the problem as in the post by @CPhill, then the problem is maximize 12800x + 8400y under these constraints 6x + 7y <= 42 4x + 3y >= 48 x >= 0, y >= 0. But the feasibility domain under these constraints is . Indeed, it is obvious that in positive domain for x and y 4x + 3y < 6x + 7y. So, if (x0,y0) is the point in the feasibility domain, then 48 <= 4x0 + 3y0 < 6x0 + 7y0 <= 42, and we arrive to the absurdist inequality 48 < 42. This contradiction disproves the existence of solutions. So, the answer for this analysis is that the given problem HAS NO solution.

        There is EMPTINESS at this point.

This is a linear programming problem. Here's how to set it up and solve it:
**1. Define Variables:**
* Let *x* be the number of shifts Team A works.
* Let *y* be the number of shifts Team B works.
**2. Objective Function (Minimize Cost):**
Cost = 3200 * 4 * x + 2800 * 3 * y = 12800x + 8400y
**3. Constraints:**
* **Personnel Constraint:** 6x + 7y ≤ 42 (Team A has 6 members, Team B has 7)
* **Hours Constraint:** 4x + 3y ≥ 48
* **Non-negativity Constraints:** x ≥ 0, y ≥ 0 (Can't have negative shifts)
**4. Graphical Solution:**
The most straightforward way to solve this with these numbers is graphically.
1. **Plot the constraints:** Treat each inequality as an equation and plot the lines on a graph. Shade the feasible region that satisfies all the inequalities.
2. **Identify the corner points:** The optimal solution will always lie at one of the corner points of the feasible region. The corner points are the intersections of the constraint lines. Find the coordinates of these points.
3. **Evaluate the objective function:** Plug the x and y coordinates of each corner point into the cost function (12800x + 8400y).
4. **Optimal Solution:** The corner point that yields the *lowest* cost is the optimal solution.
**Example of Finding Corner Points:**
* Intersection of 6x + 7y = 42 and 4x + 3y = 48:
Solve this system of equations (substitution or elimination). One way to do it is to multiply the first equation by 2 and the second equation by 3:
12x + 14y = 84
12x + 9y = 144
Subtracting the first from the second gives 5y = 60, so y = 12. Plugging back into either equation gives x = -7.5. Since x and y must be non-negative we can ignore this.
Intersection of 6x + 7y = 42 and x = 0: x = 0 gives y = 6.
Intersection of 4x + 3y = 48 and y = 0: y = 0 gives x = 12.
Intersection of 4x + 3y = 48 and 6x + 7y = 42:
Multiply the first equation by 7 and the second by 3:
28x + 21y = 336
18x + 21y = 126
Subtracting the second from the first gives 10x = 210, so x = 21. Plugging back into either equation gives y = -20. Since x and y must be non-negative we can ignore this.
The corner points are (0, 6) and (12, 0).
**Example of Evaluating the Objective Function:**
* At (0, 6): Cost = 12800(0) + 8400(6) = 50400
* At (12, 0): Cost = 12800(12) + 8400(0) = 153600
In this example, the minimum cost is 50400 when Team A works 0 shifts and Team B works 6 shifts.
**Simplex Method:**
The Simplex Method is generally used for problems with more than two variables. Since this problem only has two variables, the graphical method is much more efficient. However, here's how you'd set up the initial tableau if you *had* to use the Simplex Method:
1. **Convert inequalities to equations:** Introduce slack and surplus variables.
6x + 7y + s1 = 42
4x + 3y - s2 + a1 = 48 (a1 is an artificial variable)
x, y, s1, s2, a1 ≥ 0
2. **Initial Tableau:**
The initial tableau would be set up with the coefficients of the variables, including the objective function (which you would set equal to zero and move to the other side: -12800x - 8400y + C = 0). The artificial variable requires a special treatment in the objective function (often a large positive number "M").
Because the graphical method is so much easier for this two-variable problem, I highly recommend using that approach. It's much faster and less prone to calculation errors.

Graph y=f-1(x) if the graph of y=f(x)= 2x +5 restricted in the domain {x | -2 <= x <= 1.5|}
a. What is the range of the function?
b. What is the domain and range of its inverse
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

(a) The range of this function is from its lover level f(-2) = 2*(-2) + 5 = 1 to its upper level f(1.5) = 2*1.5 + 5 = 8, inclusive. (b) The domain of its inverse is the same as the range of the direct function, which we determined in (a): it is the interval [1,8]. The range of its inverse is the domain of the direct function, which is given in the problem [-2,1.5].

Solve the following problem by simplex method.

Max Z = 8x1 + 16x2
Subject to: x1 + x2 <= 200
x2 <= 125
3x1 + 6x2 <= 900
Where x1, x2 > 0 (non-negativity condition)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

        It can be solved mentally, using common sense only
        and without using the simplex method.

Indeed, from the objective function form Z = 8x1 + 16x2 it is clear that it is profitable to keep x2 as large as possible due to constrains and after determining x2 in this way to keep x1 as large as possible due to the constrains. Doing this way, we take x2 = 125 (maximum allowed by the constrain x2 <= 125). Then we determine x1 = = 50 from constrain 3x1 + 6x2 <= 900. Then = 8x1 + 16x2 = 8*50 + 16*125 = 2400.

Here's how to solve the given linear programming problem using the simplex method:
**1. Convert Inequalities to Equations:**
Introduce slack variables (s1, s2, s3) to convert the inequalities into equations:
* x1 + x2 + s1 = 200
* x2 + s2 = 125
* 3x1 + 6x2 + s3 = 900
**2. Set up the Initial Simplex Tableau:**
| | x1 | x2 | s1 | s2 | s3 | RHS |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Z | -8 | -16 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| | 1 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 200 |
| | 0 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 125 |
| | 3 | 6 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 900 |
**3. Identify the Pivot Column:**
The pivot column is the column with the most negative entry in the Z row. In this case, it's the x2 column (-16).
**4. Identify the Pivot Row:**
Divide the RHS values by the corresponding entries in the pivot column. The smallest non-negative result indicates the pivot row.
* 200 / 1 = 200
* 125 / 1 = 125
* 900 / 6 = 150
The pivot row is the second row.
**5. Pivot:**
The pivot element is the intersection of the pivot column and pivot row (1). Make the pivot element 1 (it already is) and all other elements in the pivot column 0.
| | x1 | x2 | s1 | s2 | s3 | RHS |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Z | -8 | 0 | 0 | 16 | 0 | 2000 |
| | 1 | 0 | 1 | -1 | 0 | 75 |
| | 0 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 125 |
| | 3 | 0 | 0 | -6 | 1 | 150 |
**6. Repeat Steps 3-5:**
* Pivot Column: x1 (-8)
* Pivot Row: First Row (75/1 is the smallest)
* Pivot:
| | x1 | x2 | s1 | s2 | s3 | RHS |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Z | 0 | 0 | 8 | 8 | 0 | 2600 |
| | 1 | 0 | 1 | -1 | 0 | 75 |
| | 0 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 125 |
| | 0 | 0 | -3 | -3 | 1 | -75 |
**7. Optimal Solution:**
Since there are no more negative entries in the Z row, the optimal solution is reached.
* x1 = 50
* x2 = 125
* Z = 2400
Therefore, the maximum value of Z is 2400 when x1 = 50 and x2 = 125.

Question 1209415: 2x + 3y = -6

Found 2 solutions by math_tutor2020, timofer:
Answer by math_tutor2020(3816)   (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!

Please provide all instructions that go along with the equation.

I'll assume you want to graph this. If so, then we can replace x with 0 to find y.
2x + 3y = -6
2*0 + 3y = -6
3y = -6
y = -6/3
y = -2
Therefore (x,y) = (0,-2) is a point on this line. It's the y intercept.

Now let's plug in y = 0 to find x.
2x + 3y = -6
2x + 3*0 = -6
2x = -6
x = -6/2
x = -3
The x intercept is located at (-3,0)

Plot (0,-2) and (-3,0) on the same xy grid. Draw a straight line through the two points. Extend the line as far as possible in both directions.

Desmos and GeoGebra are two graphing tools I recommend.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

If you wanted to solve for y to get into slope-intercept form, then,
2x+3y = -6
3y = -2x-6
y = (-2x-6)/3
y = (-2x)/3 - 6/3
y = (-2/3)x - 2

It fits the y = mx+b template
m = -2/3 = slope
b = -2 = y intercept
