Cevap: 48

Cevap

48

Substituting the given point and

a = 3

into the equation yields

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}

. Using this value, we find

c = 48

.

Adım Adım Çözüm

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

c

based on the given point that lies on the line.

2

Calculate the

x

-intercept and

y

-intercept of the line.

x

-intercept is at

x = \frac{c}{3}

, and

y

-intercept is at

y = \frac{c}{b}

.

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

c

for the minimum area.

Alternatif Yöntem

Instead of using the AM-GM inequality, you can find the minimum by taking the derivative of the area function

A(b) = 54b + 144 + \frac{96}{b}

with respect to

b

. Setting the derivative

A'(b) = 54 - \frac{96}{b^2} = 0

yields

b^2 = \frac{96}{54} = \frac{16}{9}

, which gives

b = \frac{4}{3}

for

b > 0

.

A hyperbola in the standard $(x, y)$ coordinate plane is defined by the equation $9x^2 - 16y^2 - 36x - 32y - 124 = 0$ . One of the foci of this hyperbola is located at the point $(f, -1)$ , where $f > 0$ . What is the value of $f$ ?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 7

Cevap

7

Completing the square transforms the equation into the standard form of a horizontal hyperbola,

\frac{(x - 2)^2}{16} - \frac{(y + 1)^2}{9} = 1

, which has its center at

(2, -1)

with

a^2 = 16

and

b^2 = 9

. The distance to the foci is

c = \sqrt{a^2 + b^2} = \sqrt{16 + 9} = 5

. Since the transverse axis is horizontal, the foci are located at

(2 \pm 5, -1)

, which are

(-3, -1)

and

(7, -1)

. Given the constraint that

f > 0

, the positive x-coordinate of the focus is 7.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Group the terms and prepare to complete the square.

9(x^2 - 4x) - 16(y^2 + 2y) = 124

Grouping the variables helps isolate the quadratic expressions for completing the square.

2

Complete the square for both the

x

and

y

terms.

9(x - 2)^2 - 16(y + 1)^2 = 144

To complete the square for

x^2 - 4x

, add 4 inside the first parentheses, adding

9 \times 4 = 36

to the right side. To complete the square for

y^2 + 2y

, add 1 inside the second parentheses, which subtracts

16 \times 1 = 16

from the right side because of the leading negative coefficient. This leaves the right side as

124 + 36 - 16 = 144

.

3

Divide both sides of the equation by the constant to find the standard form.

\frac{(x - 2)^2}{16} - \frac{(y + 1)^2}{9} = 1

Dividing by 144 puts the equation in the standard horizontal hyperbola form:

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

.

4

Find the distance

c

from the center to the foci.

c = 5

For a hyperbola, the relationship between the semi-axes and the focal distance is

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

. Substituting

a^2 = 16

and

b^2 = 9

gives

c = \sqrt{16 + 9} = 5

, which corresponds to the points

(-3, -1)

24

The correct answer is 24 because substituting the initial value of 120 and the final value of 15 into the equation yields

15 = 120 \cdot 2^{-t/8}

. Dividing both sides by 120 gives

\frac{1}{8} = 2^{-t/8}

, which can be rewritten as

2^{-3} = 2^{-t/8}

. Setting the exponents equal to each other gives

-3 = -t/8

grams.

2

Isolate the exponential term.

\frac{1}{8} = 2^{-t/8}

Divide both sides by

Write the fraction as a power with base 2.

2^{-3} = 2^{-t/8}

Using exponent rules,

\frac{1}{8} = \frac{1}{2^3} = 2^{-3}

Equate the exponents and solve for

t = 24

Since the bases are equal, the exponents must be equal, so

Setting the daily revenue function equal to 800 and rewriting it in standard form yields

-0.2x^2 + kx - 2000 = 0

. For a quadratic equation to have exactly one real solution, which represents the maximum vertex of the parabola, the discriminant must be equal to 0. Setting the discriminant

b^2 - 4ac = 0

Expanding

(x - 3)^2 + (2x - 11)^2 = 25

yields

x^2 - 6x + 9 + 4x^2 - 44x + 121 = 25

Converting a linear equation to standard form using given geometric features and a coordinate point.

Alternatif Yöntem

Instead of using the point-slope formula, substitute the point

(4, 3)

directly into the intercept form of a linear equation,

\frac{x}{a} + \frac{y}{b} = 1

. Since

a = 2b

, this becomes

\frac{4}{2b} + \frac{3}{b} = 1

. Simplifying this gives

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

. Thus,

a = 10

. The intercept form is

\frac{x}{10} + \frac{y}{5} = 1

. Multiplying by 10 to clear denominators gives

x + 2y = 10

, where

C = 10

.

In the standard $(x, y)$ coordinate plane, the perpendicular bisector of the line segment with endpoints $(1, 2)$ and $(5, 10)$ intersects the curve $y = x^2$ at two points. If one of these intersection points lies in the second quadrant, what is the $y$ -coordinate of this point?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 9

Cevap

The correct answer is

9

.

The perpendicular bisector of the segment connecting

(1, 2)

and

(5, 10)

passes through their midpoint

(3, 6)

and has a slope of

-\frac{1}{2}

(the negative reciprocal of

2

). The equation of this line is

x + 2y = 15

. Substituting

y = x^2

yields the quadratic equation

2x^2 + x - 15 = 0

, which factors into

(2x - 5)(x + 3) = 0

. The solution in the second quadrant corresponds to the negative

x

-coordinate,

x = -3

. Squaring this value gives a

y

-coordinate of

9

.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Find the midpoint of the segment with endpoints

(1, 2)

and

(5, 10)

.

The midpoint is

(3, 6)

.

The perpendicular bisector of a segment passes through its midpoint.

2

Calculate the slope of the segment and the slope of the perpendicular bisector.

The slope of the segment is

2

, and the perpendicular slope is

-\frac{1}{2}

.

Perpendicular lines have slopes that are negative reciprocals of each other.

3

Write the equation of the perpendicular bisector.

The equation of the line is

x + 2y = 15

.

Using the point-slope form with point

(3, 6)

and slope

-\frac{1}{2}

yields

y - 6 = -\frac{1}{2}(x - 3)

, which simplifies to

x + 2y = 15

.

4

Find the intersection points of the line and the curve

y = x^2

.

The

x

-coordinates of the intersection points are

2.5

A delivery drone starts a flight with a battery charge of $95\%$ . The battery charge decreases at a constant rate of $1.5\%$ per minute of flight time. During the flight, the drone lands on a charging station for $15$ minutes, during which its battery charge increases at a constant rate of $2.4\%$ per minute. After this charging period, the drone resumes its flight. If the drone ends its flight with a battery charge of $65\%$ , and its total flight time (excluding the time spent charging) was $t$ minutes, what is the value of $t$ ?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 44

Cevap

44

The correct answer is found by setting up a linear equation that models the drone's battery charge changes. The drone starts with

95\%

battery, loses

1.5\%

per minute for

t

minutes, and gains

36\%

from charging (

15 \times 2.4\%

). Setting this equal to the final charge of

65\%

gives the equation

95 - 1.5t + 36 = 65

. Simplifying gives

131 - 1.5t = 65

, which leads to

-1.5t = -66

and

t = 44

.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Calculate the total percentage of battery charge gained while charging.

36\%

The drone charges at a rate of

2.4\%

per minute for

15

minutes, so the total gain is

15 \times 2.4\% = 36\%

.

2

Set up a linear equation for the final battery charge.

95 - 1.5t + 36 = 65

The final battery charge (

65\%

) is the initial charge (

95\%

) minus the battery consumed during flight (

1.5\%

per minute for

t

minutes) plus the charge gained (

36\%

).

3

Combine constant terms on the left side of the equation.

131 - 1.5t = 65

Adding

95

and

36

simplifies the expression on the left side.

4

Isolate the variable term by subtracting

131

from both sides.

-1.5t = -66

Subtracting

131

from both sides leaves only the variable term on the left.

5

Divide both sides by

-1.5

to solve for

t

.

t = 44

Dividing

-66

by

-1.5

isolates

t

to find the total flight time.

In $\triangle PQR$ , the lengths of sides $PQ$ and $PR$ are equal. If the measure of $\angle P$ is $70^\circ$ , what is the measure, in degrees, of $\angle Q$ ?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 55

Cevap

The measure of

\angle Q

is

55^\circ

.

Since

PQ = PR

,

\triangle PQR

is an isosceles triangle with base

QR

, which means the base angles

\angle Q

and

\angle R

have equal measures. The sum of the interior angles of a triangle is

180^\circ

. Setting up the equation gives

70^\circ + 2(\angle Q) = 180^\circ

. Subtracting

70^\circ

from both sides yields

2(\angle Q) = 110^\circ

. Dividing by 2, we find that the measure of

\angle Q

is

55^\circ

.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Identify the properties of the given triangle.

\triangle PQR

is an isosceles triangle with base

QR

and base angles

\angle Q = \angle R

.

A triangle with two equal sides is isosceles, and the angles opposite those sides are equal in measure.

2

Apply the triangle angle sum theorem.

\angle P + \angle Q + \angle R = 180^\circ

The sum of the measures of the interior angles of any triangle is always

180^\circ

.

3

Substitute the known values and solve for

\angle Q

.

70^\circ + 2(\angle Q) = 180^\circ \implies 2(\angle Q) = 110^\circ \implies \angle Q = 55^\circ

Substituting

\angle P = 70^\circ

and

\angle R = \angle Q

allows us to solve the linear equation for the unknown angle measure.

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 17

Cevap

The straight-line distance between the two stations is 17 map units.

Applying the coordinate distance formula to the coordinates

(2, -3)

and

(-6, 12)

yields a distance of

\sqrt{(-6 - 2)^2 + (12 - (-3))^2} = \sqrt{(-8)^2 + 15^2} = \sqrt{64 + 225} = \sqrt{289} = 17

.

A hyperbola is defined by the equation $9x^2 - 4y^2 - 36x - 8y - 4 = 0$ in the standard $(x, y)$ coordinate plane. What is the slope of the asymptote of this hyperbola that has a positive slope?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 1.5

Cevap

The positive slope of the asymptotes is 1.5.

By converting the general form of the hyperbola equation into standard form, we determine that it is a horizontal hyperbola with

a = 2

and

b = 3

. The slopes of the asymptotes for a horizontal hyperbola are

\pm \frac{b}{a}

, making the positive slope equal to

\frac{3}{2} = 1.5

.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Group x-terms and y-terms, and move the constant to the other side.

9(x^2 - 4x) - 4(y^2 + 2y) = 4

This prepares the equation for completing the square.

2

Complete the square for the quadratic expressions in x and y.

9(x - 2)^2 - 4(y + 1)^2 = 36

Completing the square yields

9[(x-2)^2 - 4] - 4[(y+1)^2 - 1] = 4 \implies 9(x-2)^2 - 36 - 4(y+1)^2 + 4 = 4

.

3

Divide both sides by 36 to format the equation in standard hyperbola form.

\frac{(x-2)^2}{4} - \frac{(y+1)^2}{9} = 1

The standard form of a horizontal hyperbola centered at

(h, k)

is

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

.

4

Identify the values of a and b from the denominators.

a = 2

and

b = 3

Since

a^2 = 4

and

b^2 = 9

, taking the square roots gives

a = 2

and

b = 3

.

5

Determine the positive slope of the asymptotes using the formula for a horizontal hyperbola.

m = \frac{b}{a} = 1.5

The asymptotes for a horizontal hyperbola are given by

y - k = \pm \frac{b}{a}(x - h)

, so the positive slope is

\frac{b}{a} = \frac{3}{2} = 1.5

.

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

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 1

Cevap

The sum of all possible values of the constant

a

is 1.

To find the sum of all possible values of the constant

a

, we first find the slope of the line

x + 3y = 6

by writing it in slope-intercept form:

y = -\frac{1}{3}x + 2

. Since the perpendicular bisector is parallel to this line, its slope is also

-\frac{1}{3}

. The line segment is perpendicular to its perpendicular bisector, so the slope of the line segment is the negative reciprocal of

-\frac{1}{3}

, which is

3

. Setting the slope of the segment

\frac{a^2 - a}{5 - 1}

equal to

3

gives the equation

\frac{a^2 - a}{4} = 3

, which simplifies to

a^2 - a - 12 = 0

. Solving this quadratic equation yields

(a - 4)(a + 3) = 0

, giving the values

a = 4

and

a = -3

. The sum of these possible values is

4 + (-3) = 1

.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Find the slope of the given line

x + 3y = 6

.

The slope is

-\frac{1}{3}

.

Rewriting the equation in slope-intercept form (

y = mx + b

) gives

y = -\frac{1}{3}x + 2

, showing the slope is

-\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

-\frac{1}{3}

. The line segment's slope is the negative reciprocal of

-\frac{1}{3}

, which is

3

.

3

Write the slope of the segment in terms of

a

and set it equal to 3.

\frac{a^2 - a}{4} = 3

Using the slope formula with endpoints

(1, a)

and

(5, a^2)

gives the expression

\frac{a^2 - a}{5 - 1}

.

4

Solve the quadratic equation for

a

.

a = 4

or

a = -3

Multiplying both sides by 4 yields

a^2 - a = 12

, which simplifies to the quadratic

a^2 - a - 12 = 0

. Factoring gives

(a - 4)(a + 3) = 0

.

5

Sum all possible values of

a

.

The sum of the values is
