A line has equation 2x + y=20 and a curve has equation y=a+
18/x-3, where a is a constant.
Find the set of values of a for which the line does not intersect the curve

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

we have two equations:

2*x + y = 20

y = a + 18/x - 3

We want to find the values of a such that the graphs of the equations do not intersect.

The first step is to isolate y in the first equation.

now we get:

y = 20 - 2*x

Then we have the system of equations:

y = 20 - 2*x

y = a + 18/x - 3

If the line intersects the curve at a point (x, y), then at that point both functions have the same value of y, then:

20 - 2*x = y = a + 18/x- 3

We want to find a value of such that this does not happen.

Let's solve that equation and see what we can find.

20 - 2*x =  a + 18/x - 3

20 + 3 = a + 18/x + 2*x

23 = a + 18/x + 2*x

(23 - a) = 18/x + 2*x

if we multiply all values by x, we get:

(23 - a)*x = 18 + 2*x^2

Then we have a quadratic equation, we can write this as:

2*x^2 - (23 - a)*x + 18 = 0

Now, remember that if the determinant of the quadratic function is smaller than zero, then the function does not have any real solution, then we need to find a such that the determinant of this quadratic equation is smaller than zero.

Remember that for a quadratic equation:

a*x^2 + b*x + c = 0 is:

b^2 - 4*a*c

In this case, the determinant is:

(-(23 - a))^2 - 4*2*18

(23 - a)^2 - 144

And this must be smaller than zero, then:

(23 - a)^2 - 144 < 0

23^2 - 2*23*a + a^2 - 144 < 0

529 - 46*a + a^2 - 144 < 0

a^2 - 46*a + 385 < 0

Notice that the function has a positive leading coefficient, then the arms of the function go upwards, then the region of the function that is smaller than zero is the values of a that are between both roots of a.

Then we need to solve:

a^2 - 46*a + 385 = 0

We can use the Bhaskara's equation to find the roots, the roots are given by:

[tex]a = \frac{-(-46) +- \sqrt{(-46)^2 - 4*1*385} }{2*1} = \frac{46 +-24}{2}[/tex]

Then the two roots are:

a₁ = (46 + 24)/2 = 35

a₂ = (46 - 24)/2 = 11

Then for all the values of a suc that:

11 < a < 35

The line does not intersect the curve.

A right triangle has an angle that measures 47°. What is the measurement of the third angle in the triangle?​

Answers

Answer:

43 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

every triangle all three angles equal 180 for a right triangle you know that one angle is 90 degrees for this triangle we know that another angle is 47 so

90+47 = 137 now we can take 180 - 137 = 43

so your third angle is 43

Jada has a stand in the marketplace where she sells ground cumin. Her weekly expenses are $300, and she sells her cumin at a fixed price per kilogram. If she sells 120 kilograms of cumin, her weekly net profit is $600.

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The net profit of the marketplace is the difference between the revenue and the expenses. The revenue is the product of number of kilograms sold and the price per kilogram.

                           Profit  = Revenue - Expenses

                           600 = 120x - 300

The value of x from the equation is 7.5. The answer therefore for the first question is $7.5. Then, the number of kilogram of cumin she needs to sell to cover the expenses is $300/$7.5 and that is equal to 40.

Step-by-step explanation:

v=268.08 sooo

r(radius) which is 4

v=4/3 n r³ =4/3×n×4³ = 268.08

Answer:

(256/3)π or 85.33π

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation for volume of a sphere is 4/3πr^3 where r = the radius

So the volume of the sphere in terms of pi would be

4/3(π)(4)^3

(4/3)(64)π

4 x 64 = 256

256/3 = 85.33

In terms of pi the answer is (256/3)π or 85.33π

If using the method of completing the square to solve the quadratic equation
x²-10x – 15 = 0, which number would have to be added to "complete the
square"?

Answers

Answer:

For quadratic equations that cannot be solved by factorising, we use a method which can solve ALL quadratic equations called completing the square. We use this later when studying circles in plane analytic geometry.

Completing the square comes from considering the special formulas that we met in Square of a sum and square of a difference earlier:

(x + y)2 = x2 + 2xy + y2 (Square of a sum)

(x − y)2 = x2 − 2xy + y2 (Square of a difference)

To find the roots of a quadratic equation in the form:

\displaystyle{a}{x}^{2}+{b}{x}+{c}={0}ax

2

+bx+c=0,

follow these steps:

(i) If a does not equal \displaystyle{1}1, divide each side by a (so that the coefficient of the x2 is \displaystyle{1}1).

(ii) Rewrite the equation with the constant term on the right side.

(iii) Complete the square by adding the square of one-half of the coefficient of x to both sides.

(iv) Write the left side as a square and simplify the right side.

(v) Equate and solve.

Step-by-step explanation:

On a coordinate plane, a point is at (1, 2) and (5, 2). Find the distance between (1, 2) and (5, 2). The points lie in the same quadrant . The distance is .

Answers

Answer:

The points lie in

✔ the same quadrant

The distance is

✔ 4 units

Step-by-step explanation:

the same quadrant

4 units

The  distance between the two points (1, 2) and (5, 2) is 4 units. And both the points (1, 2) and (5, 2) lie in the same quadrant.

What is Distance between the two points?

Distance between two points is the length of the line segment that connects two given points.

Formula for the distance between two points

[tex]d = \sqrt{(x_{2}-x_{1} ^{2}) +(y_{2}-y_{1} ) ^{2} }[/tex]

According to the given question

We have

Two points

(1, 2) and (5, 2)

Let,

[tex](x_{1},y_{1}) = (1, 2)[/tex]

And, [tex](x_{2},y_{2} ) = (5,2)[/tex]

Therefore,

The distance between the points (1,2) and (5, 2)

= [tex]\sqrt{(5-1)^{2} +(2-2)^{2} }[/tex]

[tex]=\sqrt{(4)^{2}+0 }[/tex]

[tex]=4[/tex] unit.

Hence, the  distance between the two points (1, 2) and (5, 2) is 4 units.

Since, the x coordinate and y coordinate of both the points (1,2) and (5, 2) are positive. Therefore, they both lie in the first quadrant. Hence, the points lie in the same quadrant.
