A toy car moves along a straight track. Its position in meters, ss, is plotted against time in seconds, tt, on a standard coordinate plane. At t=2t = 2 seconds, the car is at a position of 3-3 meters. From t=2t = 2 to t=6t = 6 seconds, the position changes at a constant rate of mm meters per second. From t=6t = 6 to t=8t = 8 seconds, the position changes at a constant rate of 2m+32m + 3 meters per second. If the average rate of change of the car's position over the entire interval from t=2t = 2 to t=8t = 8 seconds is 53\frac{5}{3} meters per second, what is the constant rate of change, in meters per second, from t=6t = 6 to t=8t = 8 seconds?

Cevap: 4

Cevap

The correct constant rate of change from t=6t = 6 to t=8t = 8 seconds is 44 meters per second.
The correct answer of 44 meters per second is found by setting up the displacement for each interval in terms of mm. The displacement during the first interval is 4m4m, and the displacement during the second interval is 2(2m+3)=4m+62(2m + 3) = 4m + 6. Adding these gives a total displacement of 8m+68m + 6 over a total time of 66 seconds. Dividing total displacement by total time yields the average rate of change, 8m+66=4m+33\frac{8m + 6}{6} = \frac{4m + 3}{3}. Setting this equal to the given average rate of 53\frac{5}{3} yields m=12m = \frac{1}{2}. Finally, substituting this back into the rate expression for the second interval, 2m+32m + 3, gives 2(1/2)+3=42(1/2) + 3 = 4.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Express the displacement in each time interval using the rate of change (slope) formula: Δs=slope×Δt\Delta s = \text{slope} \times \Delta t.
For t=2t = 2 to t=6t = 6: Δs1=m×(62)=4m\Delta s_1 = m \times (6 - 2) = 4m. For t=6t = 6 to t=8t = 8: Δs2=(2m+3)×(86)=2(2m+3)=4m+6\Delta s_2 = (2m + 3) \times (8 - 6) = 2(2m + 3) = 4m + 6.
The constant rate of change in a position-time graph is the slope of the line, which relates time intervals to position displacements.
2
Calculate the total displacement over the entire interval from t=2t = 2 to t=8t = 8 seconds.
Total displacement Δstotal=Δs1+Δs2=4m+(4m+6)=8m+6\Delta s_{\text{total}} = \Delta s_1 + \Delta s_2 = 4m + (4m + 6) = 8m + 6.
The total displacement is the sum of the individual displacements over consecutive sub-intervals.
3
Set up the average rate of change equation using the total displacement and the total time elapsed (Δttotal=82=6\Delta t_{\text{total}} = 8 - 2 = 6 seconds).
Average rate of change = 8m+66=4m+33\frac{8m + 6}{6} = \frac{4m + 3}{3}.
The average rate of change is the net displacement divided by the total time elapsed.
4
Equate the expression for the average rate of change to the given value of 53\frac{5}{3} and solve for mm.
4m+33=534m+3=54m=2m=12\frac{4m + 3}{3} = \frac{5}{3} \Rightarrow 4m + 3 = 5 \Rightarrow 4m = 2 \Rightarrow m = \frac{1}{2}.
Solving this linear equation yields the value of the parameter mm that satisfies the average rate condition.
5
Calculate the rate of change for the second interval from t=6t = 6 to t=8t = 8 seconds by substituting m=12m = \frac{1}{2} into 2m+32m + 3.
Rate of change = 2(12)+3=1+3=42\left(\frac{1}{2}\right) + 3 = 1 + 3 = 4.
The question asks for the rate of change during the second interval, which is defined in terms of mm as 2m+32m + 3.

In the standard (x,y)(x, y) coordinate plane, a line L1L_1 passes through the points (2,5)(2, 5) and (1,4)(-1, -4). A second line, L2L_2, passes through the yy-intercept of L1L_1 and has a slope that is twice the slope of L1L_1. What is the xx-intercept of L2L_2?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 16\frac{1}{6}

Cevap

The xx-intercept of L2L_2 is 16\frac{1}{6}.
To find the xx-intercept of L2L_2, the slope and yy-intercept of L1L_1 must first be found. The slope of L1L_1 is 5(4)2(1)=3\frac{5 - (-4)}{2 - (-1)} = 3. Using the point-slope form with the point (2,5)(2, 5), the equation of L1L_1 is y5=3(x2)    y=3x1y - 5 = 3(x - 2) \implies y = 3x - 1, meaning its yy-intercept is (0,1)(0, -1). The second line, L2L_2, has a slope of 2×3=62 \times 3 = 6 and passes through the same yy-intercept (0,1)(0, -1), giving the equation y=6x1y = 6x - 1. Setting y=0y = 0 to find the xx-intercept yields 6x1=0    x=166x - 1 = 0 \implies x = \frac{1}{6}.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Calculate the slope of line L1L_1 using the coordinates (2,5)(2, 5) and (1,4)(-1, -4).
The slope of L1L_1 is m1=5(4)2(1)=93=3m_1 = \frac{5 - (-4)}{2 - (-1)} = \frac{9}{3} = 3.
The slope of a line containing (x1,y1)(x_1, y_1) and (x2,y2)(x_2, y_2) is defined as y2y1x2x1\frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}.
2
Determine the equation and the yy-intercept of line L1L_1.
The equation of L1L_1 in point-slope form is y5=3(x2)    y=3x1y - 5 = 3(x - 2) \implies y = 3x - 1. The yy-intercept of L1L_1 is (0,1)(0, -1).
Writing the equation in slope-intercept form y=mx+by = mx + b directly identifies the yy-intercept at (0,b)(0, b).
3
Determine the equation of line L2L_2.
The slope of L2L_2 is 2×3=62 \times 3 = 6. Since L2L_2 passes through the yy-intercept of L1L_1 at (0,1)(0, -1), its equation is y=6x1y = 6x - 1.
Using the relationship for the doubled slope and the shared yy-intercept, the slope-intercept form of the second line is determined.
4
Find the xx-intercept of L2L_2 by setting y=0y = 0.
Setting y=0y = 0 in the equation y=6x1y = 6x - 1 gives 0=6x1    6x=1    x=160 = 6x - 1 \implies 6x = 1 \implies x = \frac{1}{6}.
The xx-intercept occurs where the line crosses the xx-axis, which corresponds to setting y=0y = 0.

A line segment in the standard (x,y)(x, y) coordinate plane has endpoints at (1,a)(1, a) and (5,a2)(5, a^2). The perpendicular bisector of this segment is parallel to the line defined by the equation x+3y=6x + 3y = 6. What is the sum of all possible values of the constant aa?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 1

Cevap

The sum of all possible values of the constant aa is 1.
To find the sum of all possible values of the constant aa, we first find the slope of the line x+3y=6x + 3y = 6 by writing it in slope-intercept form: y=13x+2y = -\frac{1}{3}x + 2. Since the perpendicular bisector is parallel to this line, its slope is also 13-\frac{1}{3}. The line segment is perpendicular to its perpendicular bisector, so the slope of the line segment is the negative reciprocal of 13-\frac{1}{3}, which is 33. Setting the slope of the segment a2a51\frac{a^2 - a}{5 - 1} equal to 33 gives the equation a2a4=3\frac{a^2 - a}{4} = 3, which simplifies to a2a12=0a^2 - a - 12 = 0. Solving this quadratic equation yields (a4)(a+3)=0(a - 4)(a + 3) = 0, giving the values a=4a = 4 and a=3a = -3. The sum of these possible values is 4+(3)=14 + (-3) = 1.

1
Find the slope of the given line x+3y=6x + 3y = 6.
The slope is 13-\frac{1}{3}.
Rewriting the equation in slope-intercept form (y=mx+by = mx + b) gives y=13x+2y = -\frac{1}{3}x + 2, showing the slope is 13-\frac{1}{3}.
2
Determine the slope of the line segment.
The slope is 3.
The line segment is perpendicular to its perpendicular bisector. Because the perpendicular bisector is parallel to the reference line, its slope is also 13-\frac{1}{3}. The line segment's slope is the negative reciprocal of 13-\frac{1}{3}, which is 33.
3
Write the slope of the segment in terms of aa and set it equal to 3.
a2a4=3\frac{a^2 - a}{4} = 3
Using the slope formula with endpoints (1,a)(1, a) and (5,a2)(5, a^2) gives the expression a2a51\frac{a^2 - a}{5 - 1}.
4
Solve the quadratic equation for aa.
a=4a = 4 or a=3a = -3
Multiplying both sides by 4 yields a2a=12a^2 - a = 12, which simplifies to the quadratic a2a12=0a^2 - a - 12 = 0. Factoring gives (a4)(a+3)=0(a - 4)(a + 3) = 0.
5
Sum all possible values of aa.

Cevap: (x+y)2y\frac{(x+y)^2}{y}

Cevap

The expression (x+y)2y\frac{(x+y)^2}{y}
The correct expression is derived by first simplifying the denominator (xy1)2(xy^{-1})^{-2} to x2y2x^{-2}y^2. We then group and simplify like terms: (x+y)3x+y=(x+y)2\frac{(x+y)^3}{x+y} = (x+y)^2, x2x2=1\frac{x^{-2}}{x^{-2}} = 1, and yy2=1y\frac{y}{y^2} = \frac{1}{y}. Multiplying these yields the simplified expression.

1
Simplify the term (xy1)2(x y^{-1})^{-2} in the denominator
x2y2x^{-2} y^2
Apply the power of a product rule: (ab)n=anbn(ab)^n = a^n b^n, which gives x2(y1)2x^{-2} (y^{-1})^{-2}. Then, use the power of a power rule: (y1)2=y(1)(2)=y2(y^{-1})^{-2} = y^{(-1) \cdot (-2)} = y^2.
2
Rewrite the original fraction with the simplified denominator
(x+y)3x2y(x+y)x2y2\frac{(x + y)^3 x^{-2} y}{(x+y) x^{-2} y^2}
Substitute the simplified term back into the expression to align similar bases.
3
Simplify the fraction by dividing terms with like bases using the quotient rule
(x+y)2y\frac{(x+y)^2}{y}
Divide each component: (x+y)3x+y=(x+y)31=(x+y)2\frac{(x+y)^3}{x+y} = (x+y)^{3-1} = (x+y)^2, x2x2=x2(2)=x0=1\frac{x^{-2}}{x^{-2}} = x^{-2 - (-2)} = x^0 = 1, and yy2=y12=y1=1y\frac{y}{y^2} = y^{1-2} = y^{-1} = \frac{1}{y}. Multiplying these results gives (x+y)2y\frac{(x+y)^2}{y}.

In the standard (x,y)(x, y) coordinate plane, the triangular region RR is bounded by the lines y=2xy = 2x, y=x+9y = -x + 9, and the xx-axis. A vertical line x=kx = k (where 0<k<90 < k < 9) divides region RR into two sub-regions. If the area of the sub-region to the right of the line x=kx = k is exactly 88, what is the value of kk?

Cevap: 5

Cevap

5
The boundary lines intersect to form a triangle with vertices at (0,0)(0, 0), (9,0)(9, 0), and (3,6)(3, 6). Since the area to the right of x=kx = k is 88, and the total area of the triangle is 2727, kk must be greater than 33. The region to the right of x=kx = k is a right triangle with a base of 9k9 - k and a height of 9k9 - k. Setting its area 12(9k)2\frac{1}{2}(9 - k)^2 equal to 88 yields (9k)2=16(9 - k)^2 = 16, which gives 9k=49 - k = 4 (since k<9k < 9), and thus k=5k = 5.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Find the vertices of the triangular region RR by finding the intersection points of the boundary lines y=2xy = 2x, y=x+9y = -x + 9, and y=0y = 0.
The vertices of the triangle are A(0,0)A(0, 0), B(9,0)B(9, 0), and C(3,6)C(3, 6).
This establishes the boundaries and shape of the triangular region.
2
Determine which side of the peak x=3x = 3 the vertical line x=kx = k must lie. Calculate the total area and the area of the left portion.
The total area of the triangle is 2727. The area to the left of the peak x=3x = 3 is 99. Since the area of the region to the right of x=kx = k is 88, which is less than 1818, kk must be greater than or equal to 33.
This determines the geometric shape of the sub-region to the right of x=kx = k as a right triangle.
3
Set up the area formula for the right-hand triangle with vertices (k,0)(k, 0), (9,0)(9, 0), and (k,k+9)(k, -k + 9), and set it equal to 88.
The area is 12(9k)2=8\frac{1}{2}(9 - k)^2 = 8, which simplifies to (9k)2=16(9 - k)^2 = 16.
This relates the given area to the unknown coordinate kk.
4
Solve the equation (9k)2=16(9 - k)^2 = 16 for kk, keeping in mind that k<9k < 9.
Taking the square root gives 9k=4    k=59 - k = 4 \implies k = 5.
This yields the final value of kk.

The smaller triangle to the right of x=kx = k has an area of 88 and is similar to the larger triangle. The ratio of their areas is 818=49\frac{8}{18} = \frac{4}{9}, which means the ratio of their linear dimensions is 49=23\sqrt{\frac{4}{9}} = \frac{2}{3}. The base of the larger triangle is 93=69 - 3 = 6, so the base of the smaller triangle must be 6×23=46 \times \frac{2}{3} = 4. This gives 9k=4    k=59 - k = 4 \implies k = 5.

Cevap

x2+y26x+8y=0x^2 + y^2 - 6x + 8y = 0
The standard equation of a circle is (xh)2+(yk)2=r2(x - h)^2 + (y - k)^2 = r^2, where (h,k)(h, k) is the center and rr is the radius. Given the center is (3,4)(3, -4), the equation becomes (x3)2+(y+4)2=r2(x - 3)^2 + (y + 4)^2 = r^2. Since the circle passes through (6,0)(6, 0), we substitute these coordinates to find r2r^2: (63)2+(0+4)2=32+42=9+16=25(6 - 3)^2 + (0 + 4)^2 = 3^2 + 4^2 = 9 + 16 = 25. The equation is therefore (x3)2+(y+4)2=25(x - 3)^2 + (y + 4)^2 = 25. Expanding this equation gives x26x+9+y2+8y+16=25x^2 - 6x + 9 + y^2 + 8y + 16 = 25. Combining constant terms yields x2+y26x+8y+25=25x^2 + y^2 - 6x + 8y + 25 = 25. Subtracting 25 from both sides results in the general form equation x2+y26x+8y=0x^2 + y^2 - 6x + 8y = 0.

1
Calculate the radius squared of the circle using the distance formula between the center (3,4)(3, -4) and the point on the circle (6,0)(6, 0).
r2=(63)2+(0(4))2=32+42=9+16=25r^2 = (6 - 3)^2 + (0 - (-4))^2 = 3^2 + 4^2 = 9 + 16 = 25
The distance between the center and any point on the circle is equal to the radius of the circle.
2
Write the standard form of the circle's equation using the center (h,k)=(3,4)(h, k) = (3, -4) and the radius squared r2=25r^2 = 25.
(x3)2+(y+4)2=25(x - 3)^2 + (y + 4)^2 = 25
The standard equation of a circle is (xh)2+(yk)2=r2(x - h)^2 + (y - k)^2 = r^2.
3
Expand the squared binomials in the standard equation to convert it into general form.
x26x+9+y2+8y+16=25x^2 - 6x + 9 + y^2 + 8y + 16 = 25
Expanding allows us to combine like terms and match the general form expressions in the options.
4
Simplify the expanded equation by combining constant terms and setting the equation to zero.
x2+y26x+8y+25=25x2+y26x+8y=0x^2 + y^2 - 6x + 8y + 25 = 25 \Rightarrow x^2 + y^2 - 6x + 8y = 0
Subtracting 25 from both sides yields the final simplified general form equation of the circle.

The coordinates (3,6)(-3, 6)
Reflecting the point (3,2)(3, 2) across the yy-axis changes the sign of the xx-coordinate, producing (3,2)(-3, 2). Translating this resulting point 44 units up adds 44 to the yy-coordinate, giving the final coordinates (3,6)(-3, 6).

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Reflect the point P(3,2)P(3, 2) across the yy-axis.
The xx-coordinate changes sign, while the yy-coordinate remains unchanged, yielding (3,2)(-3, 2).
A reflection across the yy-axis maps any point (x,y)(x, y) to (x,y)(-x, y).
2
Translate the point (3,2)(-3, 2) up by 44 units.
Add 44 to the yy-coordinate: 2+4=62 + 4 = 6, yielding (3,6)(-3, 6).
A translation of dd units upward maps any point (x,y)(x, y) to (x,y+d)(x, y + d).

In ABC\triangle ABC, point DD lies on side ACAC. If AB=BDAB = BD, the measure of A\angle A is 7070^\circ, and the measure of C\angle C is 2525^\circ, what is the measure, in degrees, of DBC\angle DBC?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 45

Cevap

The measure of DBC\angle DBC is 45 degrees.
In ABD\triangle ABD, since AB=BDAB = BD, the triangle is isosceles and the base angles opposite these sides are equal. Therefore, the measure of ADB\angle ADB is equal to the measure of A\angle A, which is 7070^\circ. Because points AA, DD, and CC form a straight line, the angles ADB\angle ADB and BDC\angle BDC are supplementary, meaning the measure of BDC=18070=110\angle BDC = 180^\circ - 70^\circ = 110^\circ. The sum of the interior angles in BCD\triangle BCD must be 180180^\circ, so the measure of DBC=18011025=45\angle DBC = 180^\circ - 110^\circ - 25^\circ = 45^\circ.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Determine the measure of ADB\angle ADB using the properties of isosceles triangle ABD\triangle ABD.
The measure of ADB\angle ADB is 7070^\circ.
Since AB=BDAB = BD, the angles opposite those sides, A\angle A and ADB\angle ADB, are equal.
2
Calculate the measure of the supplementary angle BDC\angle BDC.
The measure of BDC\angle BDC is 110110^\circ.
Points AA, DD, and CC are collinear, meaning ADB\angle ADB and BDC\angle BDC form a linear pair and sum to 180180^\circ.
3
Determine the measure of DBC\angle DBC using the triangle angle sum theorem on BCD\triangle BCD.
The measure of DBC\angle DBC is 4545^\circ.
The sum of the interior angles of BCD\triangle BCD is 180180^\circ, so the measure of DBC\angle DBC is 180(110+25)=45180^\circ - (110^\circ + 25^\circ) = 45^\circ.

An architect is designing a triangular window with side lengths, in feet, represented by xx, 3x23x - 2, and 1818. If the value of xx must be an integer, what is the sum of all possible values of xx?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 30

Cevap

The sum of all possible integer values of xx is 30.
By applying the Triangle Inequality Theorem, the sum of any two sides of a triangle must be strictly greater than the third side. This yields the inequalities x+(3x2)>18x + (3x - 2) > 18 (which simplifies to x>5x > 5), x+18>3x2x + 18 > 3x - 2 (which simplifies to x<10x < 10), and (3x2)+18>x(3x - 2) + 18 > x (which simplifies to x>8x > -8). The intersection of these inequalities is 5<x<105 < x < 10. Since xx must be an integer, the possible values are 66, 77, 88, and 99. The sum of these values is 6+7+8+9=306 + 7 + 8 + 9 = 30.

x+(3x2)>18    4x>20    x>5x + (3x - 2) > 18 \implies 4x > 20 \implies x > 5
The Triangle Inequality Theorem states that the sum of any two sides of a triangle must be strictly greater than the third side.
2
Set up the second triangle inequality constraint where the sum of xx and the constant side is greater than the other variable side.
x+18>3x2    20>2x    x<10x + 18 > 3x - 2 \implies 20 > 2x \implies x < 10
To satisfy the Triangle Inequality Theorem for all combinations of sides.
3
Set up the third triangle inequality constraint where the sum of the second variable side and the constant side is greater than the first variable side.
(3x2)+18>x    2x>16    x>8(3x - 2) + 18 > x \implies 2x > -16 \implies x > -8
To ensure the third side combination is mathematically valid.
4
Find the intersection of all three inequalities to determine the valid range for xx.
5<x<105 < x < 10
The value of xx must satisfy all three inequalities simultaneously.
5
Identify the integer values of xx within the open interval (5,10)(5, 10) and calculate their sum.
The integers are 6,7,8,6, 7, 8, and 99. Sum = 6+7+8+9=306 + 7 + 8 + 9 = 30.
The problem specifies that xx must be an integer, so we sum only the integers strictly between 5 and 10.

A linear model predicts the height of a plant, HH, in inches, based on the number of weeks, ww, since it was planted. According to the model, the height of the plant after 22 weeks is 3123\frac{1}{2} inches, and its height after 44 weeks is 4144\frac{1}{4} inches. What was the initial height of the plant, in inches, when it was planted?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 2342\frac{3}{4}

Cevap

The initial height of the plant was 2342\frac{3}{4} inches.
The correct answer is 2342\frac{3}{4} inches. First, the two given data points are (2,72)(2, \frac{7}{2}) and (4,174)(4, \frac{17}{4}). The rate of growth (slope) is calculated as m=1747242=38m = \frac{\frac{17}{4} - \frac{7}{2}}{4 - 2} = \frac{3}{8} inches per week. Substituting this into the slope-intercept form equation H=mw+bH = mw + b at w=2w = 2 gives 72=38(2)+b\frac{7}{2} = \frac{3}{8}(2) + b, which simplifies to b=7234=234b = \frac{7}{2} - \frac{3}{4} = 2\frac{3}{4} inches.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Convert the mixed numbers for the plant heights into improper fractions.
The height at 22 weeks is 312=723\frac{1}{2} = \frac{7}{2} inches, and the height at 44 weeks is 414=1744\frac{1}{4} = \frac{17}{4} inches.
Improper fractions are easier to use in slope and linear equation calculations.
2
Calculate the slope (weekly growth rate) of the linear function using the formula m=H2H1w2w1m = \frac{H_2 - H_1}{w_2 - w_1}.
m=1747242=342=38m = \frac{\frac{17}{4} - \frac{7}{2}}{4 - 2} = \frac{\frac{3}{4}}{2} = \frac{3}{8}
The slope represents the constant rate of height increase per week.
3
Use the slope-intercept form H=mw+bH = mw + b and substitute one of the points to solve for the y-intercept, bb.
Using the point (2,72)(2, \frac{7}{2}): 72=38(2)+b72=34+bb=7234=14434=114=234\frac{7}{2} = \frac{3}{8}(2) + b \Rightarrow \frac{7}{2} = \frac{3}{4} + b \Rightarrow b = \frac{7}{2} - \frac{3}{4} = \frac{14}{4} - \frac{3}{4} = \frac{11}{4} = 2\frac{3}{4}
The y-intercept, bb, represents the initial height of the plant at w=0w = 0 weeks.

Cevap: 10

Cevap

10 e-books from each store
The correct answer represents the number of downloads from each store that satisfies the total cost equation. Let xx represent the number of books downloaded from each store. The cost at Store A is 6.00+1.25x6.00 + 1.25x and the cost at Store B is 2.75x2.75x. Since the total spent is 46.0046.00, we write the equation (6.00+1.25x)+2.75x=46.00(6.00 + 1.25x) + 2.75x = 46.00. Combining like terms gives 6.00+4.00x=46.006.00 + 4.00x = 46.00. Subtracting 6.006.00 from both sides gives 4.00x=40.004.00x = 40.00, and dividing by 4.004.00 yields x=10x = 10.

1
Define the variable and write the expressions for the cost of each store.
Let xx be the number of e-books downloaded from each store. Store A cost is 6.00+1.25x6.00 + 1.25x, and Store B cost is 2.75x2.75x.
Establishing algebraic expressions represents the verbal statements mathematically.
2
Set up the total cost equation by summing the costs of both stores and setting it equal to the total spent.
(6.00+1.25x)+2.75x=46.00(6.00 + 1.25x) + 2.75x = 46.00
The customer spends a combined total of 46.0046.00 across both bookstores.
3
Combine like terms and solve for the variable xx.
6.00+4.00x=46.00    4.00x=40.00    x=106.00 + 4.00x = 46.00 \implies 4.00x = 40.00 \implies x = 10

In the standard (x,y)(x, y) coordinate plane, line L1L_1 is defined by the equation 3xky=83x - ky = 8, where kk is a non-zero constant. Line L2L_2 is perpendicular to L1L_1 and passes through the points (k,2)(k, 2) and (1,k+5)(-1, k+5). What is the sum of all possible real values of kk?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 22

Cevap

The sum of all possible real values of kk is 22.
The slope of line L1L_1 is found by converting its equation to slope-intercept form, yielding m1=3km_1 = \frac{3}{k}. Since line L2L_2 is perpendicular, its slope must be the negative reciprocal, m2=k3m_2 = -\frac{k}{3}. Using the slope formula with the given points on line L2L_2, we also have m2=(k+5)21k=k+3k+1m_2 = \frac{(k+5) - 2}{-1 - k} = -\frac{k+3}{k+1}. Setting these two expressions for m2m_2 equal to each other and solving the resulting proportion gives the quadratic equation k22k9=0k^2 - 2k - 9 = 0. The discriminant of this equation is positive (40>040 > 0), confirming the existence of two real solutions. By Vieta's formulas, the sum of the roots is ba=21=2-\frac{b}{a} = -\frac{-2}{1} = 2.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Determine the slope of line L1L_1 in terms of kk.
The slope of line L1L_1 is m1=3km_1 = \frac{3}{k}.
Rewriting the equation 3xky=83x - ky = 8 in slope-intercept form (y=mx+by = mx + b) gives ky=3x8ky = 3x - 8, which simplifies to y=3kx8ky = \frac{3}{k}x - \frac{8}{k}. The coefficient of xx represents the slope of the line.
2
Find the perpendicular slope m2m_2 of line L2L_2 in terms of kk.
The slope of line L2L_2 is m2=k3m_2 = -\frac{k}{3}.
Since line L2L_2 is perpendicular to line L1L_1, its slope must be the negative reciprocal of m1m_1 (i.e., m2=1m1m_2 = -\frac{1}{m_1}).
3
Express the slope of line L2L_2 using the two given points (k,2)(k, 2) and (1,k+5)(-1, k+5).
The slope of line L2L_2 is m2=k+3k+1m_2 = -\frac{k+3}{k+1}.
Using the slope formula m=y2y1x2x1m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} with the points (k,2)(k, 2) and (1,k+5)(-1, k+5), we get m2=(k+5)21k=k+3(k+1)=k+3k+1m_2 = \frac{(k+5) - 2}{-1 - k} = \frac{k+3}{-(k+1)} = -\frac{k+3}{k+1}.
4
Set the two expressions for the slope of line L2L_2 equal to each other and solve for kk.
The quadratic equation is k22k9=0k^2 - 2k - 9 = 0.
Equating the slopes gives k3=k+3k+1-\frac{k}{3} = -\frac{k+3}{k+1}. Multiplying both sides by 1-1 gives k3=k+3k+1\frac{k}{3} = \frac{k+3}{k+1}. Cross-multiplying yields k(k+1)=3(k+3)    k2+k=3k+9    k22k9=0k(k+1) = 3(k+3) \implies k^2 + k = 3k + 9 \implies k^2 - 2k - 9 = 0.
5
Calculate the sum of all possible real values of kk.
The sum of all possible real values of kk is 22.
The discriminant of the quadratic equation k22k9=0k^2 - 2k - 9 = 0 is (2)24(1)(9)=40>0(-2)^2 - 4(1)(-9) = 40 > 0, confirming that two distinct real solutions for kk exist. According to Vieta's formulas, the sum of the roots of a quadratic equation ax2+bx+c=0ax^2 + bx + c = 0 is ba-\frac{b}{a}. Here, a=1a=1 and b=2b=-2, so the sum is 21=2-\frac{-2}{1} = 2.

Cevap

The correct position of the cell is (4,1)(-4, -1).
To find the coordinates of the new position, apply the translation to the initial coordinates (2,5)(2, -5). A translation of 6 units to the left subtracts 6 from the x-coordinate: 26=42 - 6 = -4. A translation of 4 units up adds 4 to the y-coordinate: 5+4=1-5 + 4 = -1. This results in the coordinates (4,1)(-4, -1).

Calculate the new x-coordinate by applying the horizontal translation.
The initial x-coordinate is 22. Translating 6 units to the left means subtracting 6: 26=42 - 6 = -4.

2
Calculate the new y-coordinate by applying the vertical translation.
The initial y-coordinate is 5-5. Translating 4 units up means adding 4: 5+4=1-5 + 4 = -1.
A vertical shift upward increases the y-coordinate value.

Distributing the terms gives 4t48+5t+30=1084t - 48 + 5t + 30 = 108. Combining like terms yields 9t18=1089t - 18 = 108. Adding 1818 to both sides gives 9t=1269t = 126. Finally, dividing by 99 gives t=14t = 14.

1
Multiply both sides of the equation by 66 to eliminate the denominators.
4(t12)+5(t+6)=1084(t - 12) + 5(t + 6) = 108
Multiplying by the least common multiple of the denominators clears the fractions, making the linear equation easier to solve.
2
Apply the distributive property to expand the terms.
4t48+5t+30=1084t - 48 + 5t + 30 = 108
Distributing the constants allows us to group like terms.
3
Combine the variable terms and the constant terms on the left side.
9t18=1089t - 18 = 108
Simplifying the expression is a necessary step before isolating the variable.
4
Add 1818 to both sides of the equation.
9t=1269t = 126
Adding the constant to both sides isolates the variable term on the left side.

Divide both sides of the equation by 99 to solve for tt.
t=14t = 14
Dividing by the coefficient of the variable yields the final solution.

Applying the dilation formula centered at (4,2)(4, 2) with scale factor 2-2 to R(2,6)R(2, 6) gives the point R(8,6)R'(8, -6). Reflecting this point across the line y=xy = -x negates and swaps the coordinates, yielding R(6,8)R''(6, -8). Finally, a 9090^\circ counterclockwise rotation about the origin swaps the coordinates and negates the new xx-coordinate, producing the final coordinates (8,6)(8, 6).

1
Perform the dilation of vertex R(2,6)R(2, 6) centered at C(4,2)C(4, 2) with a scale factor of k=2k = -2.
The intermediate image is R(8,6)R'(8, -6).
For a dilation centered at (xc,yc)(x_c, y_c) with scale factor kk, the coordinates of the image are (xc+k(xxc),yc+k(yyc))(x_c + k(x - x_c), y_c + k(y - y_c)). Substituting R(2,6)R(2, 6), C(4,2)C(4, 2), and k=2k = -2 gives: x=42(24)=8x' = 4 - 2(2 - 4) = 8 and y=22(62)=6y' = 2 - 2(6 - 2) = -6.
2
Reflect the point R(8,6)R'(8, -6) across the line y=xy = -x.
The intermediate image is R(6,8)R''(6, -8).
A reflection across the line y=xy = -x maps any point (x,y)(x, y) to (y,x)(-y, -x). Applying this rule to R(8,6)R'(8, -6) yields R((6),8)=(6,8)R''(-(-6), -8) = (6, -8).
3
Rotate the point R(6,8)R''(6, -8) by 9090^\circ counterclockwise about the origin.
The final image is R(8,6)R'''(8, 6).
A rotation of 9090^\circ counterclockwise about the origin maps any point (x,y)(x, y) to (y,x)(-y, x). Applying this rule to R(6,8)R''(6, -8) yields R((8),6)=(8,6)R'''(-(-8), 6) = (8, 6).

Instead of applying the transformations step-by-step to the point, we can track the transformations vectorially. For the dilation, the vector CR=RC=(2,4)\vec{CR} = R - C = (-2, 4) is scaled by 2-2 to get 2CR=(4,8)-2\vec{CR} = (4, -8), which added back to C(4,2)C(4, 2) yields R(8,6)R'(8, -6). Reflecting across y=xy = -x exchanges the coordinates and negates them, giving R(6,8)R''(6, -8). Rotating 9090^\circ counterclockwise about the origin maps (x,y)(y,x)(x, y) \rightarrow (-y, x), yielding R(8,6)R'''(8, 6).

In XYZ\triangle XYZ, the measure of X\angle X is 4040^\circ. If the measure of Y\angle Y is three times the measure of X\angle X, what is the measure, in degrees, of Z\angle Z?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 20

Cevap

The measure of Z\angle Z is 2020 degrees.
To find the measure of Z\angle Z, we first determine the measure of Y\angle Y. Since Y\angle Y is three times the measure of X\angle X (4040^\circ), we calculate 3×40=1203 \times 40^\circ = 120^\circ. Because the interior angles of a triangle must sum to 180180^\circ, the remaining angle Z\angle Z is found by subtracting the measures of X\angle X and Y\angle Y from 180180^\circ: 18040120=20180^\circ - 40^\circ - 120^\circ = 20^\circ.
