Answers

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given point are: P(at², 2at)

Q(a/t², 2a/t)

S(0, 0)

Now, the distance between A(x₁y₁) and B(X₂, y₂)

then AB = √{(x₂ - x₁)² + (y₂ - y₁)²} units

(i) The distance between S and P:

(x₁, y₁) = (0, 0) ⇛x₁= 0, y₁ = 0

(x₂, y₂ ) = (at², 2at) ⇛x₂ = at², y₂ = 2at

SP = √{at² - 0)² + (2at - 0)²}

= √{(at²)² + (2at)²}

= √{a²t²*² + 4a²t²}

= √{a²t⁴ + 4a²t²}

= √{a²t²(t²+4)}

SP = at√(t² + 4)→→→Eqn(1)

(ii) The distance between S and Q :

(x₁, y₁) = (0, 0) ⇛x₁= 0, y₁ = 0

(x₂, y₂ ) = (a/t², 2a/t) ⇛x₂ = a/t², y₂ = 2a/t

SQ = √[{(a/t²) - 0} + {(2a/t) - 0}

= √{(a/t²)² + (2a/t)²}

= √{(a²/t²*²) + (4a²/t²)}

= √{(a²/t⁴) + (4a²/t²)}

= √{(a² + 4a²t²)/t⁴}

= √[{a²(1 + 4t²)}/t⁴]

SQ = (a/t²)√(1 + 4t²) →→→ Eqn(2)

Now,

(1/SP) + (1/SQ) = [1/{at√(t² + 4)}] + [1/{(a/t²)√(1 + 4t²)}]

= (1/at)[1/{√(t² + 4)}] + (t²/a)[1/{(√1 + 4t²)}]

= (1/a)[[1/{t√(t² + 4)}] + [t²/{√(1 + 4t²)}]]

(1/SP) + (1/SQ) = 1/a is not independent of 't'

If suppose S = (a, 0) then

SP = √{(at² - a)² + (2at - 0)²}

= √{a²(t² - 1)² + (2at)²}

= a√{(t² - 1)² + 4t²}

= a√{(t² + 1)²}

SP = a(t² + 1)

1/SP = 1/{a(t² + 1)} →→→Eqn(1)

And

SQ = √[{(a/t²) - a}² + {(2a/t) - 0}²]

= √[a²{(1/t²) - 1}² + a²(2/t)²]

= a√[{(1 - t²)²/t⁴} + (4/t²)]

= a√[{(1 - t²)² + 4t²}/t⁴]

( a/t²)√(1 + t²)²

SQ = (a/t²)(1 + t²)

1/SQ = 1/{(a/t²)(1 + t²)} = t²/{a(1 + t²)} →→→Eqn(2)

Therefore, (1/SP) + (1/SQ)

= 1/{a(t² + 1)} + t²/{a(1 + t²)}

= (1 + t²)/a(1 + t²)

= 1/a

1/a is independent of 't'.

Exercise #5: Quadrilateral EFGH has vertices at E(-6,2), F(3,8), G(7,2), and H(-2,-4).

Calculate the slopes of all four sides of EFGH. Use these slopes to prove that EFGH is a rectangle.

Answers

Answer:

The slope of both EF and GH are 2/3

The slope of both FG and EH are -3/2

You can see that these slopes are perpendicular, forming a rectangle

Step-by-step explanation:

To find slope use the slope formula: y1 - y2 / x1 - x2

so first:

8 - 2 / 3 - (-6) = 2/3

(-4) - 2 / (-2) - 7 = 2/3

Then:

8 - 2 / 3 - 7 = -3/2

2 - (-4) / (-6) - (-2) = -3/2

3. In the accompanying diagram, a rectangular container with the dimensions 10 inches by 15 inches by 20 inches is to
be filled with water, using a cylindrical cup whose radius is 2 inches and whose height is 5 inches. What is the maximum
number of full cups of water that can be placed into the container without the water overflowing?

Answers

The maximum number of full cups of water that can be placed into the container without the water overflowing is 47 cups

How to calculate volume?

Volume of the container = 10 * 15 * 20 = 3000 in³

The volume of the cylinder is:

Volume of cylinder = π * radius² * height = π * 2² * 5 = 62.83 in³

Number of cups that can be placed in container = 3000 in³ / 62.83 in³ = 47.74

This is because when two lines intersect, the two opposite angles are the same.

Since they are the same, you can set them equal to each other

Then solve:

6x - 7 = 4x - 1

Abby is shooting a rocket off the top of a 128 foot tall building at a velocity of 96 feet per second. The equation to represent this is h(t) = -16t? +960 + 128 where h(t) represents the height of the rocket and t is the time after takeoff.

What is the maximum height of the rocket?
How many seconds does ot take to get to the maximum height?
Find the time it takes (in seconds) for the rocket to crash to the ground.​

Answers

Answer:

  a) 272 feet

  b) 3 seconds

  c) 7.123 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

A graphing calculator provides an easy way to answer questions about the parameters of a quadratic function. Here the graph shows ...

a) the maximum height is 272 feet

b) it takes 3 seconds to get there

c) the rocket crashes after about 7.123 seconds

__

You can solve this algebraically by rewriting the equation in vertex form.

  h(t) = -16t² +96t +128 . . . . . . given

  h(t) = -16(t² -6t) +128 . . . . . . . factor out leading coefficient

  h(t) = -16(t² -6t +9) +128 -(-16)(9) . . . . complete the square

  h(t) = -16(t -3)² +272 . . . . . . write in vertex form

The vertex of the height function is (3, 272) meaning the rocket reaches a maximum height of 272 feet after 3 seconds.

__

The zero of the function can be found to be ...

  0 = -16(t -3)² +272

  0 = (t -3)² -17 . . . . . . divide by -16

  t -3 = ±√17 . . . . . . add 17, take the square root

  t = 3 +√17 ≈ 7.123106 . . . . . positive time value for h(t) = 0

It takes about 7.12 seconds for the rocket to crash.
