A line graphed in the standard $(x,y)$ coordinate plane has an $x$ -intercept of $6$ and a $y$ -intercept of $-3$ . What is the slope of this line?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 0.5

Cevap

The slope of the line is

0.5

(or

\frac{1}{2}

).

The correct slope is

0.5

. By identifying the

x

-intercept as

(6, 0)

and the

y

-intercept as

(0, -3)

, we can apply the slope formula

m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}

to find

m = \frac{-3 - 0}{0 - 6} = \frac{-3}{-6} = 0.5

.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Identify the coordinates of the intercepts on the coordinate plane.

The points are

(6, 0)

and

(0, -3)

.

An

x

-intercept of

6

means the line crosses the

x

-axis at

(6, 0)

. A

y

-intercept of

-3

means the line crosses the

y

-axis at

(0, -3)

.

2

Apply the slope formula with the identified coordinates.

m = \frac{-3 - 0}{0 - 6} = \frac{-3}{-6} = 0.5

The slope formula is defined as

m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}

for any two points on a line.

In the standard $(x, y)$ coordinate plane, the points $A(1, 2)$ and $B(9, 8)$ are the endpoints of a diameter of a circle $C$ . A line $L$ passes through the center of $C$ and is perpendicular to segment $AB$ . A point $P(x, y)$ lies on line $L$ such that the distance from $P$ to the center of $C$ is equal to the radius of $C$ . If the $x$ -coordinate of $P$ is greater than the $x$ -coordinate of the center of $C$ , what is the $y$ -coordinate of $P$ ?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 1

Cevap

The y-coordinate of the point P is 1.

The correct answer is 1. The center of circle C is the midpoint of the diameter AB, which is calculated as M(5, 5). The radius is half the length of AB, which is 5. The line L passing through M perpendicular to AB has a slope of -4/3. Points on this line at a distance of 5 from M are found by changing the coordinates by (+3, -4) or (-3, +4), yielding (8, 1) and (2, 9). Since the x-coordinate must be greater than the center's x-coordinate of 5, the correct point is (8, 1), which has a y-coordinate of 1.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Calculate the center of the circle C by finding the midpoint of the diameter AB.

The center is M(5, 5).

The center of a circle is the midpoint of any of its diameters.

2

Calculate the radius of circle C by finding half the distance between A(1, 2) and B(9, 8).

The radius is 5.

The distance formula gives the diameter length as 10, and the radius is half the diameter.

3

Find the slope of line L perpendicular to AB.

The slope of L is -4/3.

The slope of AB is 3/4, and perpendicular lines have slopes that are negative reciprocals of each other.

4

Determine the coordinates of point P using the distance from the center and the slope of line L.

The possible points are (8, 1) and (2, 9).

Moving a distance of 5 along a line with slope -4/3 from (5, 5) results in a change of +/-3 in the x-coordinate and -/+4 in the y-coordinate.

5

Apply the constraint that the x-coordinate of P must be greater than the x-coordinate of the center (5).

P is (8, 1), so the y-coordinate is 1.

Comparing the two candidate points, only (8, 1) has an x-coordinate greater than 5.

Cevap: 5

Cevap

The correct value of k is 5.

The correct answer is 5. Finding the intersection of the two boundary lines yields the vertex

P(4, 3)

. Calculating the intersection points of the horizontal line

y = k

with the boundary lines gives the

x

-coordinates

2k - 2

and

7 - k

. The distance between these coordinates represents the base of the triangle,

3|k - 3|

, while the height is the vertical distance

|k - 3|

. Substituting these into the triangle area formula

\text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times \text{base} \times \text{height}

results in

6 = \frac{3}{2}(k - 3)^2

. Solving this quadratic equation gives

(k - 3)^2 = 4

, which leads to

k = 5

or

k = 1

. Therefore, 5 is the correct possible value.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Find the intersection point of the two non-horizontal lines by setting their equations equal to each other.

\frac{1}{2}x + 1 = -x + 7 \Rightarrow \frac{3}{2}x = 6 \Rightarrow x = 4

. Substituting

x = 4

back into either equation gives

y = 3

. The intersection point is

P(4, 3)

.

The intersection point serves as the third vertex of the triangle, and its

y

-coordinate helps determine the height of the triangle relative to the horizontal boundary line

y = k

.

2

Find the

x

-coordinates of the intersection points between the horizontal line

y = k

and the other two lines.

For

y = \frac{1}{2}x + 1

, setting

y = k

gives

k = \frac{1}{2}x + 1 \Rightarrow x = 2k - 2

. For

y = -x + 7

, setting

y = k

gives

k = -x + 7 \Rightarrow x = 7 - k

.

These two points define the base of the triangle along the line

y = k

.

3

Express the base length and height of the triangle in terms of

k

, then set up the area equation.

The base is the distance between the two

x

-coordinates:

|(2k - 2) - (7 - k)| = |3k - 9| = 3|k - 3|

. The height is the vertical distance from the line

y = k

to the point

P(4, 3)

:

|k - 3|

. The area is

\text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times \text{base} \times \text{height} = \frac{3}{2}(k - 3)^2

.

This sets up a solvable algebraic equation using the given area of

6

square units.

4

Solve the area equation for

k

.

\frac{3}{2}(k - 3)^2 = 6 \Rightarrow (k - 3)^2 = 4 \Rightarrow k - 3 = \pm 2

. Thus,

k = 5

or

k = 1

. Since

5

is among the options, it is the correct choice.

This yields the possible values of

k

that satisfy the geometric conditions.

is

(8, 5)

, and the intersection of

y = 5

and

y = -x + 7

is

(2, 5)

. The base of the triangle is the horizontal distance from

x = 2

to

x = 8

, which is

6

. The height of the triangle is the vertical distance from

y = 3

(the intersection vertex) to

y = 5

, which is

Substituting the given point and

c = 24 + 18b

. The area of the triangle formed by the intercepts is

A = \frac{c^2}{6b}

. Substituting

c

gives

A = 6(9b + 24 + \frac{16}{b})

. Using AM-GM, the minimum occurs when

9b = \frac{16}{b}

, resulting in

b = \frac{4}{3}

1

Substitute the point

(8, 18)

and

a = 3

into the equation

ax + by = c

24 + 18b = c

This establishes a relationship between the constants

b

and

-intercept and

y

-intercept of the line.

x

-intercept is at

x = \frac{c}{3}

The boundary of the region in the first quadrant is defined by these coordinate intercepts.

3

Formulate the area

A

of the right triangle bounded by the axes and the line.

A = \frac{c^2}{6b}

The area of a right triangle with vertices at the origin and the intercepts is

\frac{1}{2} \cdot \text{base} \cdot \text{height}

.

4

Substitute

c = 24 + 18b

into the area formula and simplify.

A = 6\left(9b + 24 + \frac{16}{b}\right)

Expressing the area as a single-variable function of

b

allows us to find its minimum value.

5

Apply the AM-GM inequality to minimize the variable term

9b + \frac{16}{b}

.

b = \frac{4}{3}

minimizes the expression.

The sum of two positive terms is minimized when the terms are equal, so

9b = \frac{16}{b} \implies b^2 = \frac{16}{9} \implies b = \frac{4}{3}

.

6

Calculate the value of

c

using the minimizing value of

b

.

c = 48

Substituting

b = \frac{4}{3}

into the relation

c = 24 + 18b

yields the constant value

A model rocket is launched vertically upward from a platform. Its height, $h$ , in meters, $t$ seconds after launch is modeled by the equation $h = -4.9t^2 + v_0 t + 2$ , where $v_0$ is the constant initial upward velocity in meters per second. If the rocket never reaches a height of $12$ meters, which of the following inequalities represents all possible values of $v_0$ ?

0 < v_0 < 7

0 < v_0 < 9.8

0 < v_0 < 28

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: $0 < v_0 < 14$

Cevap

0 < v_0 < 14

The correct answer is the range of values where the velocity is between 0 and 14. Setting the rocket's height equal to 12 meters gives the equation

-4.9t^2 + v_0 t + 2 = 12

. Subtracting 12 from both sides results in

-4.9t^2 + v_0 t - 10 = 0

. Since the rocket never reaches 12 meters, this quadratic equation has no real solutions, meaning its discriminant must be negative. Calculating the discriminant yields

v_0^2 - 4(-4.9)(-10) < 0

, which simplifies to

v_0^2 - 196 < 0

. Solving for a positive velocity gives

0 < v_0 < 14

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Set up the equation for the rocket reaching a height of 12 meters.

-4.9t^2 + v_0 t + 2 = 12

To find when the rocket reaches 12 meters, we set the height equation equal to 12.

2

Rearrange the equation into standard quadratic form.

-4.9t^2 + v_0 t - 10 = 0

Subtracting 12 from both sides of the equation sets it to 0, which is the standard form

at^2 + bt + c = 0

.

3

Apply the condition for no real solutions using the discriminant.

\Delta = v_0^2 - 4(-4.9)(-10) < 0

For the rocket to never reach 12 meters, the quadratic equation must have no real solutions. This requires the discriminant

\Delta = b^2 - 4ac

to be strictly negative.

4

Solve the inequality for the positive velocity

v_0

.

v_0^2 - 196 < 0 \implies v_0^2 < 196 \implies v_0 < 14

Multiplying the constants yields

v_0 < 14

Cevap: $(\frac{3}{2}, 2 + \sqrt{3})$

Cevap

(\frac{3}{2}, 2 + \sqrt{3})

The midpoint of the base segment is at

(\frac{3}{2}, 2)

and the vertical height of the equilateral triangle is

\sqrt{3}

. Since the vertex lies above the segment, we add the height to the

y

-coordinate of the midpoint, giving the coordinates

(\frac{3}{2}, 2 + \sqrt{3})

.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Find the midpoint and length of the segment connecting the two given vertices

(\frac{1}{2}, 2)

and

(\frac{5}{2}, 2)

.

Since both points lie on the horizontal line

y = 2

, the distance between them is

\frac{5}{2} - \frac{1}{2} = 2

. The

x

-coordinate of the midpoint is

\frac{\frac{1}{2} + \frac{5}{2}}{2} = \frac{3}{2}

, so the midpoint is at

(\frac{3}{2}, 2)

.

The third vertex of an equilateral triangle lies on the perpendicular bisector of the opposite side, which passes through its midpoint.

2

Calculate the height of the equilateral triangle using the Pythagorean theorem.

The side length of the triangle is

2

. The distance from a vertex to the midpoint of the opposite side is

1

. The height

h

satisfies

1^2 + h^2 = 2^2 \Rightarrow 1 + h^2 = 4 \Rightarrow h = \sqrt{3}

.

The height of an equilateral triangle divides it into two

30^\circ\text{-}60^\circ\text{-}90^\circ

right triangles.

3

Determine the coordinates of the third vertex by applying the height to the midpoint.

Since the base is horizontal, the altitude is vertical. Thus, the third vertex has the same

x

-coordinate as the midpoint,

\frac{3}{2}

. The

y

-coordinate is the

y

-coordinate of the midpoint plus the height, which is

2 + \sqrt{3}

.

The vertex must be located above the segment, so we add the height to the

y

-coordinate of the midpoint.

The distance between the center of the circle at

(2, -1)

and the point on the circle

(5, 3)

represents the radius (

r

). Applying the distance formula:

r = \sqrt{(5 - 2)^2 + (3 - (-1))^2} = \sqrt{3^2 + 4^2} = \sqrt{25} = 5

. Since the diameter of a circle is twice its radius, the diameter is

2 \times 5 = 10

.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Use the distance formula to find the radius of the circle, which is the distance between the center

(2, -1)

and the point

(5, 3)

.

r = \sqrt{(5 - 2)^2 + (3 - (-1))^2} = \sqrt{3^2 + 4^2} = \sqrt{9 + 16} = \sqrt{25} = 5

The radius of a circle is the distance between its center and any point on its boundary.

Multiply the radius by 2 to find the diameter of the circle.

d = 2r = 2(5) = 10

The diameter of a circle is always twice the length of its radius.

The correct answer is

-2

. Simplifying the expression step-by-step: first, apply the power of a product and power of a power rules to the numerator to get

a^6 b^{-4}

. Next, simplify the denominator to get

a^4 b^{-3}

. Then, apply the quotient rule to simplify the fraction to

a^{6-4} b^{-4-(-3)} = a^2 b^{-1}

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Simplify the numerator using the power of a power rule

(x^p)^q = x^{pq}

and the power of a product rule

(xy)^p = x^p y^p

.

(a^{-3} b^2)^{-2} = a^{(-3)(-2)} b^{(2)(-2)} = a^6 b^{-4}

To raise a product to a power, raise each factor to that power by multiplying their exponents.

2

Simplify the denominator using the power of a power rule.

a^4 (b^{-1})^3 = a^4 b^{(-1)(3)} = a^4 b^{-3}

Multiply the exponents of

b

to simplify the term

.

3

Divide the simplified numerator by the simplified denominator using the quotient rule

\frac{x^p}{x^q} = x^{p-q}

.

\frac{a^6 b^{-4}}{a^4 b^{-3}} = a^{6-4} b^{-4 - (-3)} = a^2 b^{-1}

Subtract the exponent of the denominator from the exponent of the numerator for each base.

Alternatively, you can rewrite the negative exponents as positive exponents by moving them across the fraction bar first. The numerator

(a^{-3} b^2)^{-2}

becomes

\frac{1}{(a^{-3} b^2)^2} = \frac{1}{a^{-6} b^4} = \frac{a^6}{b^4}

. The denominator

a^4 (b^{-1})^3

becomes

\frac{a^4}{b^3}

. Dividing these gives

\frac{a^6}{b^4} \cdot \frac{b^3}{a^4} = \frac{a^2}{b^1} = a^2 b^{-1}

. This yields

x = 2

and

y = -1

Cevap: $(2, 1)$

Cevap

(2, 1)

The correct answer is the point

(2, 1)

because rewriting the general equation of the ellipse in standard form gives

\frac{(x-2)^2}{9} + \frac{(y+3)^2}{25} = 1

. The center is

(2, -3)

and the major axis is vertical with a focal distance of

c = \sqrt{25 - 9} = 4

. Adding this distance to the

y

-coordinate of the center yields the focus

(2, -3 + 4) = (2, 1)

.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Group the

x

and

y

terms and factor out the coefficients.

25(x^2 - 4x) + 9(y^2 + 6y) = 44

This prepares the algebraic equation for completing the square.

2

Complete the square for both the

x

and

y

groups.

25(x-2)^2 + 9(y+3)^2 = 225

Adding

25 \times 4 = 100

and

9 \times 9 = 81

to both sides maintains equality while converting the quadratic expressions into perfect square trinomials.

3

Divide both sides by

225

to write the equation in standard form.

\frac{(x-2)^2}{9} + \frac{(y+3)^2}{25} = 1

The standard form of an ellipse equation is

\frac{(x-h)^2}{b^2} + \frac{(y-k)^2}{a^2} = 1

(for a vertical major axis), which directly reveals the center

(h, k)

and the axis parameters.

4

Identify the center, axis lengths, and calculate the focal distance

c

.

Center is

(2, -3)

,

a^2 = 25

,

b^2 = 9

. Thus,

c = \sqrt{25 - 9} = 4

.

The focal distance

c

for an ellipse is determined by the relation

c = \sqrt{a^2 - b^2}

.

Determine the coordinates of the foci.

Foci are

(2, -3 \pm 4)

, which simplifies to

(2, 1)

(1, 1)

to

(5, 3)

is

(4, 2)

. Scaling this vector by

2

gives

(8, 4)

places the intermediate image at

(9, 5)

. Second, reflecting

(9, 5)

across the line

y = -x

yields

(-5, -9)

First intermediate point

Q' = (1, 1) + 2(4, 2) = (1 + 8, 1 + 4) = (9, 5)

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: $35.00

Cevap

The total cost of the Express delivery is $35.00.

The correct answer is

35.00. First, represent the costs as algebraic functions of the distance

m

:

15 + 0.75m

for Standard and

25 + 0.50m

for Express. Set up the equation reflecting that the Standard cost is

5.00 less than the Express cost:

15 + 0.75m = (25 + 0.50m) - 5

. Simplifying this equation gives

15 + 0.75m = 20 + 0.50m

. Subtracting

0.50m

and

15

from both sides results in

0.25m = 5

, which yields

m = 20

. Finally, plug

m = 20

into the Express cost function:

25 + 0.50(20) = 35.00

dollars.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Define the variables and write the cost functions for both options.

Let

m

represent the number of miles. The Standard delivery cost is

S = 15 + 0.75m

, and the Express delivery cost is

E = 25 + 0.50m

.

Translating the verbal descriptions into algebraic expressions establishes the basis for solving the problem.

2

Set up the equation using the given relationship that Standard is 5.00 dollars less than Express.

15 + 0.75m = (25 + 0.50m) - 5

The phrase 'Standard cost is 5.00 dollars less than Express cost' translates to

S = E - 5

.

3

Solve the equation for

m

.

15 + 0.75m = 20 + 0.50m \implies 0.25m = 5 \implies m = 20

miles.

Solving for

m

determines the delivery distance that satisfies the cost relationship.

4

Calculate the total cost of the Express delivery by substituting the value of

m

into the Express cost function.

E = 25 + 0.50(20) = 25 + 10 = 35

dollars.

The question specifically asks for the total cost of the Express delivery, not the distance or the Standard delivery cost.

Anahtar Kavram

Translating verbal descriptions of costs and differences into algebraic equations and solving them.

Alternatif Yöntem

You can test the choices. For example, if the Express cost is

35.00, then the distance

m

is found by solving

25 + 0.50m = 35 \implies 0.50m = 10 \implies m = 20

. At

20

miles, the Standard cost is

15 + 0.75(20) = 30

. Since

30

is indeed exactly

5

less than

35$, this choice is correct.
