Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope intercept form is

y = mx+b where m is the slope

Solve for y

12x - 6y = 30

Subtract 12x from each side

-6y =-12x+30

Divide by -6

y = -12x/-6 +30/-6

y = 2x -5

The slope is 2

Expand (3 - 2x)6. What is the coefficient of the sixth term?

stich3 [128]

To expand (3 - 2x)^6 use the binomial theorem:

(x + y)^ n = C(n,0) x^ny^0 + C(n,1)x^(n-1) y + C(n,2)x^(n-2) y^2 + ...+ C(n,n+1)xy^(n-1) + C(n,n)x^0y^n

So, for x = 3, y = -2x , and n = 6 you get:

(3 - 2x) ^6 = C(6,0)(3)^6 + C(6,1)(3)^5 (-2x) + C(6,2) (3)^4 (-2x)^3 + C(6,3) (3^3) (-2x)^4 + C(6,4)(3)^2 (-2x)^4 + C(6,5) (3) (-2x)^5 + C(6,6) (-2x)^6

So, the sixth term is C(6,5)(3)(-2x)^5 = 6! / [5! (6-5)! ] * 3 * (-2)^5 x^5 = - 6*3*32 = - 576 x^5.

The coefficient of that term is - 576.

Answer: - 576

A cardboard box without a lid is to have a volume of 16,384 cm3. Find the dimensions that minimize the amount of cardboard used.

Reika [66]

Answer:

The dimensions that minimize the amount of cardboard used is

x = 31 cm , y = 34 cm & Z = 15.54 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of the cardboard = 16,384 $cm^{3}$

The function that represents the area of the cardboard without a lid is given by

$f (x,y,z) = xy + 2xz + 2yz$ ------ (1)

Volume of the cardboard with sides x, y & z is

$xyz = 16384$

$z = \frac{16384}{xy}$

Put this value of z in equation (1) we get

$f (x,y,z) = xy + 2x(\frac{16384}{xy} ) + 2y(\frac{16384}{xy} )$

$f (x,y,z) = xy + \frac{32768}{y} + 2y(\frac{32768}{x} )$

Differentiate above equation with respect to x & y we get

$f_{x} = y - \frac{32768}{x^{2} }$

$f_{y} = x - \frac{32768}{y^{2} }$

Take $f_{x} = 0 \ and \ f_{y} = 0$

$y - \frac{32768}{x^{2} } = 0$

$y = 32768 \ x^{-2}$ ------ (2)

$x - \frac{32768}{y^{2} } = 0$

$x = 32768 \ y^{-2}$ ------- (3)

By solving equation (2) & (3) we get

$x^{3} = 32768$

x = 31 cm

From equation 2

$y = 32768 \ x^{-2}$

y = 32768 ( $31^{-2}$ )

y = 34 cm

$z = \frac{16384}{xy}$

$z = \frac{16384}{(34)(31)}$

Z = 15.54 cm

Thus the dimensions that minimize the amount of cardboard used is

x = 31 cm , y = 34 cm & Z = 15.54 cm

The center of a hyperbola is (−2,4) , and one vertex is (−2,7) . The slope of one of the asymptotes is 1/2 .

maxonik [38]

Answer:

<h2>The equation is $\frac{(y - 4)^{2} }{9 } - \frac{(x + 2)^{2} }{36 } = 1$ .</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a hyperbola is represented by $\frac{(y - k)^{2} }{b^{2} } - \frac{(x - h)^{2} }{a^{2} } = 1$ , where (h, k) is the center of the hyperbola.
