Which of the following statements is meaningless?
A.There was a 3% decrease in the price of sugar.
B.There was a 200% increase in the population of a town.
C.There was a 120% decrease in the amount of water in a dam. D.There was a 0% change in the temperature in the room after 1 hour.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

(C)

Step-by-step explanation:

If can't have a meaning as something can't decrease more than 100% of itself.

Answer 2

The statement that is meaningless is

There was a 120% decrease in the amount of water in a dam.

Option C is the correct answer.

What is a percentage?

The percentage is calculated by dividing the required value by the total value and multiplying by 100.

Example:

Required percentage value = a

total value = b

Percentage = a/b x 100

Example:

50% = 50/100 = 1/2

25% = 25/100 = 1/4

20% = 20/100 = 1/5

10% = 10/100 = 1/10

We have,

A percentage increase can be of any number.

A percentage decrease can not be below 100%.

Now,

A.

There was a 3% decrease in the price of sugar.

This is possible.

B.

There was a 200% increase in the population of the town.

This is possible.

C.

There was a 120% decrease in the amount of water in a dam.

This is not possible.

The highest percentage decrease can be up to 100%.

D.

There was a 0% change in the temperature in the room after 1 hour.

This is possible.

Thus,

There was a 120% decrease in the amount of water in a dam is meaningless.

Why is the slope the same on a line when different points are used to identify the slope?

Answers

Different points are used to identify the line, this can mean that both points lie on the same line.
Therefore the slope is the same because the line passes through both those points.

Different points can be used to identify the slope as follows -

We have a straight line.

We have to investigate why is the slope same on a line when different points are used to identify the slope.

What is Slope of a Line ?

The slope of a line is denoted by m and is defined as the change in y coordinate with respect to the change in x coordinate.

According to question -

Different points can be used to identify the slope provided that they all lie on the same straight line. Line is a collection of points and these set of points can be used top determine the rate of change of y with respect to x. The slope of a line can also be found out using y - intercept of the line using the general equation of straight line -

y = mx + c.

Hence, the slope is same on a line provided that they all lie on the same straight line

find x,y,z : 4x^2+2y^2+2z^2-4xy-4xz+2yz-2y+6z+10=0

Answers

I hope this helps.

Answer:-

   ∴x−3y−4z=0

Explanation:

First we rearrange the equation of the surface into the form f(x,y,z)=0

   x2+2z2=y2

   ∴x2−y2+2z2=0

And so we have our function:

   f(x,y,z)=x2−y2+2z2

In order to find the normal at any particular point in vector space we use the Del, or gradient operator:

   ∇f(x,y,z)=∂f∂xˆi+∂f∂yˆj+∂f∂zˆk

remember when partially differentiating that we differentiate wrt the variable in question whilst treating the other variables as constant. And so:

   ∇f=(∂∂x(x2−y2+2z2))ˆi+

                    (∂∂y(x2−y2+2z2))ˆj+

                    (∂∂z(x2−y2+2z2))ˆk

      =2xˆi−2yˆj+4zˆk

So for the particular point (1,3,−2) the normal vector to the surface is given by:

   ∇f(1,3,−2)=2ˆi−6ˆj−8ˆk

So the tangent plane to the surface x2+2z2=y2 has this normal vector and it also passes though the point (1,3,−2). It will therefore have a vector equation of the form:

   →r⋅→n=→a⋅→n

Where →r=⎛⎜⎝xyz⎞⎟⎠; →n=⎛⎜⎝2−6−8⎞⎟⎠, is the normal vector and a is any point in the plane

Hence, the tangent plane equation is:

   ⎛⎜⎝xyz⎞⎟⎠⋅⎛⎜⎝2−6−8⎞⎟⎠=⎛⎜⎝13−2⎞⎟⎠⋅⎛⎜⎝2−6−8⎞⎟⎠

   ∴(x)(2)+(y)(−6)+(z)(−2)=(1)(2)+(3)(−6)+(−2)(−8)

   ∴2x−6y−8z=2−18+16

   ∴2x−6y−8z=0

   ∴x−3y−4z=0

Solve the equations.

Step-by-step explanation:

If all you want are solutions, a graphing calculator can give them to you easily. The attachment shows the solutions as x-intercepts when the equation is rearranged to the form f(x) = 0.

__

In general, it can be convenient to write the equation in standard form with integer coefficients. Common factors among the coefficients should be removed.

a)

  3(x+4)^2 = 10x +32 . . . . . given

  3(x^2 +8x +16) -10x -32 = 0

  3x^2 +14x +16 = 0

To factor this, we're looking for factors of 3·16 that total 14.

  48 = 1·48 = 2·24 = 3·16 = 4·12 = 6·8

The last pair of factors has a total of 14, so we can rewrite the equation as ...

  (3x +6)(3x +8)/3 = 0

  (x +2)(3x +8) = 0

The solutions are the values of x that make the factors zero:

  x = -2, x = -8/3

__

b)

  (x +4)^2 = 3x +40 . . . . . . . . given

  x^2 +8x +16 -3x -40 = 0 . . . . subtract the right side

  x^2 +5x -24 = 0 . . . . . . . . simplify

  (x +8)(x -3) = 0 . . . . . . factor

The solutions are the values of x that make the factors zero:

  x = -8, x = 3

__

c)

  (x^2 -1)/2 -11x = 11 . . . . . given

  x^2 -1 -22x -22 = 0 . . . . . . multiply by 2, subtract the right side

  x^2 -22x -23 = 0 . . . . . . simplify

  (x -23)(x +1) = 0 . . . . . . factor

  x = 23, x = -1

Additional comment

Factoring often gets to the solution with the least fuss when the solutions are rational. There are several ways factoring can be done when the leading coefficient is not 1. One of them is illustrated in (a) above. We will show two other methods that give the same result.

factoring by pairs

We have identified the factors of 3·16 = 48 that have a total of 14. We can use those factors to rewrite the 14x term in the equation.

  3x^2 +6x +8x +16 = 0

Now, we can group the terms in pairs, and factor each pair. It does not matter which of the factors (6 or 8) you write first. You will end with the same result.

  (3x^2 +6x) +(8x +16) = 0

  3x(x +2) +8(x +2) = 0

  (3x +8)(x +2) = 0   ⇒   x = -8/3, x = -2

__

factoring using the X method

This method is usually shown using a large graphic X. In the top quadrant is written the product of the leading coefficient and the constant: 3·16 = 48.

In the bottom quadrant is written the coefficient of the x-term: 14.

If one or the other, or both, of these top/bottom values is negative, be sure to keep the sign.

The side quadrants are then filled with values that have a product equal to the top number, and a sum equal to the bottom number. (Pay attention to the signs.) Further, in each of those quadrants, the number written is divided by the leading coefficient, and the fraction reduced to lowest terms.

Here, we would have 6/3 = 2 on one side, and 8/3 on the other side. Now the factors are written as (bx+a), where the reduced fraction on either side is a/b. In our example, the factors are (x+2) and (3x+8)

__

alternate X method

This starts off in the same way the X method does, as described above. However, the factors on either side of the X are not divided by the leading coefficient (a). If those side values are 'p' and 'q', the quadratic is written in factored form as ...

  (ax +p)(ax +q)/a = 0

You will notice we used this form above: (3x +6)(3x +8)/3 = 0.

Now, the divisor 'a' can be used to reduce either or both of the numerator factors. Here, the entire factor of 3 can be removed from (3x+6) to make the factorization be ...

  (x +2)(3x +8) = 0

__

Sometimes, one factor of the divisor will be removed from one term, and the other factor of it will be removed from the other term. An example of this might be ...

  [tex]\dfrac{(6x+3)(6x+2)}{6}=\dfrac{6x+3}{3}\cdot\dfrac{6x+2}{2}=(2x+1)(3x+1)[/tex]

a.) The SAS Triangle Congruence Postulate states that if if a pair of corresponding sides, a pair of corresponding angles, and another pair of corresponding sides in two triangles are congruent, then the two triangles are congruent. Therefore, we can see that in both triangles, we are only shown a corresponding, congruent right angle. We need two pairs of sides with the corresponding right angles to prove that the triangles are congruent via SAS. We would need to know the length of side VX, and it’s corresponding side length, XV. We would also need to know the side lengths of WV and it’s corresponding side length, XK. We would then need some sort of symbol to represent a congruent relationship if the side lengths are congruent. Then, we would have two pairs of corresponding, congruent sides, and a pair of corresponding, congruent angles. Then, we would have a Side-Angle-Side.

b.) We are given two triangles with a pair of corresponding, congruent sides. We need to have a pair of corresponding, congruent angles, another pair of corresponding, congruent sides to follow SAS. Therefore, we would need to know the angle measures of angles UVW and KVM. We know that they are vertical angles, so they are indeed congruent. Now, we would need to know the side lengths of sides WV and VM. If those sides are congruent, then we have a pair of corresponding, congruent sides, a pair of corresponding, congruent angles, and another pair of corresponding, congruent sides, making SAS.

c.) The Angle Side Angle Postulate states that if there is a pair of corresponding, congruent angles, a pair of corresponding, congruent sides, and another pair of corresponding, congruent angles in two triangles, then the two triangles are congruent. We have a pair of corresponding, congruent angles, a pair of corresponding, congruent sides, but we need another pair of congruent, corresponding angles. Therefore, we would need to know the angle measures of angles MLK and STU. Then we would have a a pair of corresponding, congruent angles, a pair of corresponding, congruent sides, and another pair of corresponding, congruent angles.
