Find the value of a if the line joining the points (3a,4) and (a, -3) has a gradient of 1 ?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

[tex]\displaystyle a=\frac{7}{2}\text{ or } 3.5[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the two points (3a, 4) and (a, -3).

And we want to find the value of a such that the gradient of the line joining the two points is 1.

Recall that the gradient or slope of a line is given by the formula:

[tex]\displaystyle m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex]

Where (x₁, y₁) is one point and (x₂, y₂) is the other.

Let (3a, 4) be (x₁, y₁) and (a, -3) be (x₂, y₂). Substitute:

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

Simplify:

[tex]\displaystyle m=\frac{-7}{-2a}=\frac{7}{2a}[/tex]

We want to gradient to be one. Therefore, m = 1:

[tex]\displaystyle 1=\frac{7}{2a}[/tex]

Solve for a. Rewrite:

[tex]\displaystyle \frac{1}{1}=\frac{7}{2a}[/tex]

Cross-multiply:

[tex]2a=7[/tex]

Therefore:

[tex]\displaystyle a=\frac{7}{2}\text{ or } 3.5[/tex]

Answer 2

Answer:

[tex] \frac{7}{2} [/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Objective: Linear Equations and Advanced Thinking.

If a line connects two points (3a,4) and (a,-3) has a gradient of 1. This means that the slope formula has to be equal to 1

If we use the points to find the slope: we get

[tex] \frac{4 + 3}{3a - a} [/tex]

Notice how the numerator is 7, this means the denominator has to be 7. This means the denomiator must be 7.

[tex]3a - a = 7[/tex]

[tex]2a = 7[/tex]

[tex]a = \frac{7}{2} [/tex]

Is (18,-4) a solution to the equation y = -6x - -87? yes no​

Answers

Replace x with 18, solve the equation. If it equals -4 it’s a solution.

Y = -6(18) - -87

Y = -108 + 87

Y = -21

-21 does not equal -4 so (18,-4) is not a solution.

Hi there!

Linear equations are typically organized in slope-intercept form: [tex]y=mx+b[/tex] where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept (the value of y when x is 0).

1) Determine the slope (m)

The slope is the rate of change, or the number of units the line moves up divided by the number of units the line moves to the right.

Looking at the graph, we can see that for every 1 space the line travels to the right, the line travels 2 spaces up. This makes the slope of the line 2. Plug this into [tex]y=mx+b[/tex]:

[tex]y=2x+b[/tex]

2) Determine the y-intercept (b)

When x=0 on the graph, y=0. Therefore, the y-intercept is 0. Plug this into [tex]y=2x+b[/tex]:

[tex]y=2x+0\\y=2x[/tex]

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

An isosceles triangle is one that has 2 sides that are the same length, like ours here. Because of the Isosceles Triangle Theorem, if 2 side lengths are congruent, then the angles opposite those sides are congruent, as well. That means that both base angles are 53 degrees. However, we are looking for the altitude, or height, of the triangle. That changes everything. Drawing in the height serves to cut the triangle in half, splitting both the vertex angle (the angle at the top of the triangle) and the base exactly in half. Now we have 2 right triangles which are mirror images of each other. We only need concentrate on one of these triangles. What the triangle looks like now:

One base angle is 90 degrees and the other is 53 degrees. By the Triangle Angle-Sum Theorem, the third angle has to be a degree measure which ensures that all the angles add up to 180. Therefore, the third angle measures 180 - 90 - 53 = 37. Even still, besides knowing all the angle measures, we really don't need any besides the 53 degree one.

As far as side lengths go, the base is 12 (because the height cut it in half). To find a missing side in a right triangle you either use Pythagorean's Theorem or right triangle trig, depending upon the info you're given. We only have enough to use right triangle trig.

We have the base angle of 53, which is our reference angle, the side next to, or adjacent to, the reference angle, and we are looking for the side length opposite the reference angle. This is the tan ratio where

[tex]tan\theta=\frac{opp}{adj}[/tex]  where tangent of the reference angle is equal to the side opposite the reference angle over the side adjacent to the reference angle. Filling in that ratio:

[tex]tan53=\frac{opp}{12}[/tex] and multiply both sides by 12 to get

12tan53 = opp and do this on your calculator to get that

opp = 15.9 inches

Answers

Answer:

trousers: spent 30 (a pair of trousers = one unity of trousers)

shirts: spent 19 x 2 = 38

shoes: spent 40 x 2 = 80

80 + 38 + 30 = 148

325 - 148 = 177

Write the equation of the line parallel to 4y - x = -20 that passes through the point (8,3).

Answers

Answer:

y= ¼x +1

Step-by-step explanation:

Rewriting the equation into the slope-intercept form (y= mx +c, where m is the gradient and c is the y- intercept):

4y -x= -20

4y= x -20 (+x on both sides)

y= ¼x -5 (÷4 throughout)

Thus, slope of given line is ¼.

Parallel lines have the same gradient.

Gradient of line= ¼

y= ¼x +c

To find the value of c, substitute a pair of coordinates into the equation.

When x= 8, y= 3,

3= ¼(8) +c

3= 2 +c

c= 3 -2

c= 1

Hence the equation of the line is y= ¼x +1.

The function f(t) = 4t2 − 8t + 7 shows the height from the ground f(t), in meters, of a roller coaster car at different times t. Write f(t) in the vertex form a(x − h)2 + k, where a, h, and k are integers, and interpret the vertex of f(t).

Answers

Answer:

Vertex form is f(t) = 4 [tex](t-1)^{2}[/tex] +3 and vertex is (1, 3).

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that f(t)= 4 [tex]t^{2}[/tex] -8 t+7

Let's use completing square method to rewrite it in vertex form.

Subtract both sides 7

f(t)-7 = 4 [tex]t^{2}[/tex] -8t

Factor the 4 on the right side.

f(t) -7 = 4( [tex]t^{2}[/tex] - 2 t)

Now, let's find the third term using formula [tex](\frac{b}{2} )^{2}[/tex]

Where 'b' is coefficient of 't' term here.

So, b=-2

Find third term using the formula,

[tex](\frac{-2}{2} )^{2}[/tex] which is equal to 1.

So, add 1 within the parentheses. It is same as adding  4 because we have '4' outside the ( ). So, add 4 on the left side of the equation.

So, we get

f(t) -7 +4 = 4( [tex]t^{2}[/tex] -2 t +1)

We can factor the right side as,

f(t) -3 = 4 [tex](t-1)^{2}[/tex]

Add both sides 3.

f(t) = 4[tex](t-1)^{2}[/tex] +3

This is the vertex form.

So, vertex is (1, 3)

What is the value of y, if the standard deviation of 8, 8, 8, 8, y, 8 is 0?​

Answers

Answer:

y = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we know that the equation for standard deviation is

σ = √((1/N)∑(xₐ-μ)²), with σ being the standard deviation, N being the count of numbers, xₐ being individual values, and μ being the mean. Working backwards, we have

0 = √((1/N)∑(xₐ-μ)²)

Squaring both sides, we get

0 = (1/N)∑(xₐ-μ)²

Since 1/N cannot be 0, we know that

0 = ∑(xₐ-μ)²

Since (xₐ-μ)² can only be ≥0, this means that each value of xₐ-μ must be equal to 0, so

0 = xₐ-μ for each a

xₐ = μ

This leads to the conclusion that each value is equal to the mean, so the mean must be 8.

The mean is equal to the sum / amount of numbers. There are 6 numbers, and the sum is (40+y). The mean is

8 = (40+y)/6

multiply both sides by 6

6*8 = 40+y

48 = 40 + y

This means that

y = 8
