Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

(a) y = [tex]\frac{-1}{2}[/tex]x -  [tex]\frac{3}{2}[/tex]

(b) y = 2x + 3

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) The equation of a line given by points M(x₁, y₁) and N(x₂, y₂) is given by:

y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)            -------------------(i)

Where;

m = [tex]\frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}[/tex] = slope or gradient of the line  ---------------(ii)

Given points on the triangle are:

A(2,5)

B(1,-2)

C(-5,1)

To find the equation of line BC, we use the formulas in equations (i) and (ii) where the points of the line are B(1,-2) and C(-5,1) and;

x₁ = 1

y₁ = -2

x₂ = -5

y₂ = 1

==> First get the gradient using equation (ii) as follows;

m = [tex]\frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{1 - (-2)}{-5 -1}[/tex]

m =   [tex]\frac{3}{-6}[/tex]

m = [tex]\frac{-1}{2}[/tex]

==> Now, use equation (i) to find the equation of the line as follows;

y - (-2) = [tex]\frac{-1}{2}[/tex](x - 1)

y + 2 = [tex]\frac{-1}{2}[/tex](x - 1)

Multiply both sides by 2

2(y+2) = -1 ( x - 1 )

2y + 4 = -x + 1

2y = -x + 1 - 4

2y = - x - 3

y =  [tex]\frac{-1}{2}[/tex]x -  [tex]\frac{3}{2}[/tex]

Therefore, the equation of the line is y = [tex]\frac{-1}{2}[/tex]x -  [tex]\frac{3}{2}[/tex]

(b) To find the perpendicular line from A to BC, note that

i. two lines are perpendicular if they meet at 90°

ii. the general equation of a line could also be written as y = mx + c where m is the slope and c is the intercept.

iii. when one line has a slope of m, then a perpendicular line to that line will have a slope of [tex]\frac{-1}{m}[/tex]

The equation of line BC is y = [tex]\frac{-1}{2}[/tex]x -  [tex]\frac{3}{2}[/tex].

This means that BC has a slope of [tex]\frac{-1}{2}[/tex]

A perpendicular line from A to BC will have a slope of 2.

Now to get the equation of this perpendicular line from A(2, 5) to BC, we use the general equation of a line given in equation (i)

where;

m = 2

x₁ = 2

y₁ = 5

Substitute these values into equation (i)

y - 5 = 2(x - 2)

Solving by simplification gives;

y - 5 = 2x - 2

y = 2x + 3

Therefore, the equation of the perpendicular line is y = 2x + 3

What is the diameter of a cone with height 8 m and volume 150 pi m3 ?
A. 7.5 m
B. 5V3 m
o C. 7.573 m
D. 15 m

Answers

Answer:

V = pi*r^2*h

V = 150 m^3

h = 8 m

150 = pi*r^2*8

Solve for r (the radius) then multiply by 2 to obtain the diameter.Only, this is a cone, not a cylinder.

V = 1/3 pi r^2 h

Diameter of the cone is 15 m. So, option D is correct.

What is meant by solid shape ?

Solid shapes are defined as the three-dimensional objects that are described by the three dimensions length, breadth and height.

Here,

Volume of the cone is given by,

 V = 150[tex]\pi[/tex] m³

Height of the cone, h = 8 m

We know, the equation for the volume of a cone is,

V = 1/3[tex]\pi[/tex]r²h

where r is the radius and h is the height of the cone.

So,

(1/3) [tex]\pi[/tex]r²h = 150[tex]\pi[/tex]

r²x 8 = 3 x 150 = 450

r² = 450/8

r² = 56.25

r = 7.5 m

Therefore, diameter of the cone,

d = 2r

d = 2 x 7.5

d = 15 m

Hence,

Diameter of the cone is 15 m.

What is the area of the square?
What’s the area of the circle

Answers

Answer:

Square: 144 m²

Circle: 113.04 m²

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for area of a square: side × side.

The formula for area of a circle: r²π (radius × radius × pi)

**SQUARES HAVE EQUAL SIDES**

As shown in the photo, the side lengths of the square are 12.

side × side

12 × 12 = 144

Therefore, 144 m² is the area of the square.

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

The diameter of the circle is 12 as well.

But, to find the area of the circle, we need the radius.

To find the radius of a circle, divide the diameter by 2.

12 ÷ 2 = 6.

6 is the radius.

Now we plug the numbers into the equation.

**3.14 IS A SUBSTITUTE FOR PI**

r²π (radius × radius × pi)

6²π (6 × 6 × 3.14) = 113.04

Therefore, 113.04 m² is the area of the circle.

Answer:

Opción b, P(2) = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Tenemos la expresión:

P(y) = y^2 - 7*y + 10

Para encontrar el valor P(2), simplemente debemos remplazar todas las "y" en la expresión de arriba por el valor 2, asi obtenemos:

P(2) = 2^2 - 7*2 + 10 = 4 - 14 + 10 = (4 - 14) + 10 = -10 + 10 = 0

P(2) = 0
