Why can't the square root cancel out the exponents in the distance formula?

Answers

Answer 1

Let's say instead of x2-x1, we say, "The difference between x2 and x1", let's call this value A. We'll do the same for the y variables and call that difference B, for simplicity.

For (2,3) and (4,9), we're really dealing with those differences, so A should equal 2, and B should equal 6. So far so good. But this is pretty much the "rise and run" of a triangle. 2 to the right, then 6 up. But if you walk 2 miles east, then 6 north, while you, personally, have travelled 8 miles, the distance between your starting point and where you are is NOT the way you walked.

So in the case of the triangle, using 2 as the run and 6 as the rise, to get the straight line between the starting point and the ending point, we have to do Pythagorean's Theorem, or A2 + B2 = C2 to get that last direct line between the two points. Cancelling the root and exponents removes the process to get that exact distance squared. We then take the square root of that to get the exact distance.

What is the scale factor of the enlargement of shape A to shape B?​

Answers

Answer:

scale factor = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

the scale factor is the ratio of corresponding sides, shape B to shape A

base of shape A = 1 , base of shape B = 6 , then

scale factor = [tex]\frac{6}{1}[/tex] = 6

After finding the ratio of their corresponding sides of triangles the scale factor we get is 6.

The difference in scale between an original item's scale and a new object that is its representation but is larger or smaller is known as a scale factor.

From figure

For small triangle:

base = 1 units

For large triangle:

base = 6 units

Now the scale factor = ratio of adjacent sides

Scale factor = (Base of large triangle)/(Base of small triangle)

Scale factor = 6/1

Scale factor = 6

Hence,

The scale factor is 6.

23/100 is 0.23

blank = 0.23

Answer:

0.23 or 23/100

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Start by setting up an equation

We'll say that x represents the blank.

100x = 23

2) Solve

100x = 23

Divide both sides by 100

x = 0.23 or 23/100

Find the mass of a sphere of radius 7 if δ= kρ, k a constant.

Answers

Presumably, both δ and ρ represent density of some object. Considering the context, ρ is likely a function of 3 variables, ρ = ρ(x, y, z). Then the mass of the sphere with the prescribed density δ(x, y, z) = k ρ(x, y, z) is

[tex]\displaystyle \iiint_B k \rho(x,y,z) \, dx\, dy\, dz[/tex]

where B is the set

[tex]B = \left\{(x,y,z) ~ : ~ x^2+y^2+z^2 \le 7^2\right\}[/tex]

If you have all the details at hand, you can compute the integral by converting to spherical coordinates, substituting

[tex]\begin{cases}x = u \cos(v) \sin(w) \\ y = u \sin(v) \sin(w) \\ z = u \cos(w)\end{cases} \text{ and } dx\,dy\,dz = u^2 \sin(w) \, du \, dv \, dw[/tex]

The integral then transforms to

[tex]\displaystyle k \int_0^{2\pi} \int_0^\pi \int_0^7 \rho(u\cos(v)\sin(w),u\sin(v)\sin(w),u\cos(w)) \, u^2 \sin(w) \, du \, dw \, dv[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

First we have to add the gallons of two cow of each owner:

Hank's cows: 4 3/4 + 4 1/8

Add the whole numbers:

4 + 4 = 8

Now for 3/4 and 1/8

Find common

6/8 + 1/8

= 7/8

Put together :

8 7/8

Debra's cows: 5 1/2 + 5 2/3

Add the whole number

5 + 5 = 10

Now for 1/2 and 2/3

3/6 + 4/6

1 1/6

10 + 1 1/6

= 11 1/6

Since now we know that:

Hank - 8 7/8

Debra - 11 1/6

we can solve the question:

How many more gallons of milk did Debra's two cows produce on that compared to Hank's two cows?

Solution:

11 1/6 - 8 7/8

Subtract whole number

11 - 8 = 3

Now for 1/6 and 7/8

4/24 - 21/24

4-21/24

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Hank Cows:

4 3/4 and 4 1/8

Debra Cows:

5 1/2 and 5 2/3

To find the difference between Hank cows and Debra cows..

we first have to add both cows together:

4 3/4 + 4 1/8 = 8 7/8  {Hank}

5 1/2 + 5 2/3 = 11 1/6  {Debra}

Since now we know Hank and Debra total gallons of milk we can solve and find out the difference.

11 1/6 - 8 7/8 = 2 7/24

Hence, Debra have 2 7/24 more gallons of milk than Hank.

Answers

Using separation of variables, it is found that the expression for the mass, M, at any time t, is given by:

[tex]M(t) = 150e^{-kt}[/tex]

What is separation of variables?

In separation of variables, supposing a differential equation in the format [tex]\frac{dy}{dx}[/tex], we place all the factors of y on one side of the equation with dy, all the factors of x on the other side with dx, and integrate both sides.

In this problem, the differential equation is:

[tex]\frac{dM}{dt} = -kM[/tex]

Then, applying separation of variables:

[tex]\frac{dM}{M} = -k dt[/tex]

[tex]\int \frac{dM}{M} = \int -k dt[/tex]

[tex]\ln{M} = -kt + C[/tex]

[tex]M(t) = M(0)e^{-kt}[/tex]

The initial mass is of M(0) = 150, hence:

What is the equation of the line that passes through the point (4,1) and has a slope
of 1/2

Answers

Linear Equations

Linear equations are usually organized in slope-intercept form, which looks like this:

[tex]y=mx+b[/tex]

m is the slope of the lineb is the y-intercept (the value of y when the line passes through the y-axis)

To find the equation of a line in slope-intercept form:

Determine the slope of the linePlug the slope into the general formDetermine the y-intercept by solving for b Plug b back into the equation

Solving the Question

We're given:

m = [tex]\dfrac{1}{2}[/tex](4,1) falls on the line

First, plug the given slope into the slope-intercept form equation:

[tex]y=mx+b\\\\y=\dfrac{1}{2}x+b[/tex]

Now, determine the y-intercept.

[tex]y=\dfrac{1}{2}x+b[/tex]

⇒ Plug in the given point (4,1) and solve for b:

[tex]1=\dfrac{1}{2}(4)+b\\1=2+b\\b=-1[/tex]

⇒ Therefore, the y-intercept is -1. Plug this back into our original equation:

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

Answer

[tex] \frac{0.75x - 3}{x - 1} [/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation of a rational function is

[tex] \frac{p(x}{q(x)} [/tex]

where q(x) isn't zero.

There is a vertical asymptote at

[tex]x = 1[/tex]

So this mean that our denomiator must have a zero that occur at x=1.

That zero is

[tex]x - 1[/tex]

So our denomiator is

[tex] \frac{p(x)}{x - 1} [/tex]

Since our horinzontal asymptote is a non zero value, the numerator must be a linear equation as well.

So our rational function is

[tex] \frac{ax + b}{x - 1} [/tex]

We know the graph pass through (0,3)

So if we apply that logic,

[tex] \frac{a(0) + b}{0 - 1} = 3[/tex]

[tex] \frac{b}{ - 1} = 3[/tex]

[tex]b = - 3[/tex]

And it passes through (4,0)

[tex] \frac{a(4) + b}{3} = 0[/tex]

[tex]4a + b = 0[/tex]

[tex]4a + ( - 3) = 0[/tex]

[tex]4a = 3[/tex]

[tex]a = \frac{3}{4} [/tex]

So our rational equation is

[tex] \frac{0.75x - 3}{x - 1} [/tex]
