find the poin on the graph 0f f(x)=1-x^2 that are closest to0(0,0)
Answers
[tex] \sqrt{(x-0)^2+(1-x^2-0)^2}=\sqrt{x^2+(1-x^2)^2}=\sqrt{x^2+1-2x^2+x^4} [/tex]
To make this easier, let's minimize the SQUARE of this quantity because when the square root is minimal, its square will be minimal.
So minimize [tex]L=x^4-x^2+1[/tex]
Find the derivative of L and set it equal to zero.
[tex]\frac{d}{dx}(L)=4x^3-2x \\ 4x^3-2x=0 \\ 2x(2x^2-1)=0[/tex]
This gives you [tex]x=0[/tex] or [tex]x^2=\frac{1}{2} \\ x=\pm\sqrt{2}/2[/tex]
You can use the Second Derivative Test to figure out which value(s) produce the MINIMUM distance.
[tex]\frac{d^2}{dx}=12x^2-2[/tex]
When x = 0, the second derivative is negative, indicating a relative maximum. When [tex]x=\pm\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}[/tex], the second derivative is positive, indicating a relative MINIMUM.
The two points on the curve closest to the origin are [tex]\left( \pm\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2},\frac{1}{2} \right)[/tex]

A rectangular greenhouse has an area of 6480 square meters and a length of 120 meters. How many meters is it in width?
Answers
120 x width = 6480
So, to solve, you would divide 6480 by 120 to find the width. 6480/120 = 54.
Therefore, the width is 54.
Comment under this post or message me for further help!
W=A/L, A=6480 and L=120 so
W=6480/120 m
W=54 m

A wheelchair access ramp has an angle of elevation of 20°. If the ramp reaches to the top of a 33 inch high porch, how long is the ramp?
Answers
length=height/sinα, we are given that α=20° and h=33 in
length=33/sin20° in
length≈96.49 in (to nearest hundredth of an inch)
Sin(20) = 33/x
x*Sin(20) = 33
x = 33/Sin(20)
x = 96.49in long.

You deposit $5000 in an account earning 2% interest compounded continuously. How much will you have in the account in 15 years?
Answers
A=p(1+r/100)^n
where:
A=future amount
p=principle
r=rate
n=time in years
Therefore given that, p=$5000, r=2% and n=15 years, the amount after 15 years will be:
A=5000(1+2/100)^15
A=5000(1+0.02)^15
A=5000(1.02)^15
A=6,729.34
We conclude that the amount after 15 years will be $6,729.34
Atmospheric pressure decreases by about 11.8% for every 1000 meters you climb. The pressure at sea level is 1013 millibars (a unit of pressure). Construct an exponential model to represent the atmospheric pressure at a given altitude in thousands of meters. Use your model to determine the atmospheric pressure at an altitude of 4000 meters.
(Express your answer in millibars rounded correctly to the nearest tenth.)

Find the common ratio of the geometric sequence: −320,80,−20,5,…−320,80,−20,5,… A. −14−14 B. 1414 C. -4 D. 4
Answers
Divide each term by the previous term to get the common ratio r
r = (term 2)/(term 1) = 80/(-320) = -1/4
r = (term 3)/(term 2) = -20/80 = -1/4
r = (term 4)/(term 3) = 5/(-20) = -1/4
No matter which term you pick (as long as it's not the first one) dividing it by the previous term leads to -1/4 or -0.25 as the common ratio
Answer: -1/4
It seems like none of the answer choices have -1/4 but it could be choice A was supposed to show "-1/4" instead of "-14"? Perhaps the division sign didn't show up for some reason?

A rug is shaped like a rectangle who's per Perimeter there's 192 feet the length is five times longer with find the length and the width
Answers
Plug these values into the Perimeter equation P = 2(length) + 2(width):
P = 2(5x) + 2(x), or P = 12x, and this is known to have the value 192 units. Solve for the width, x:
(192 units) = 12x gives us x = 16 units. Then the length is 5(16 units) = 80 units.
Check: Does 2(80 units) + 2(16 units) = 192 units? If so, then our width (16) and length (80) are correct.

Ann is grouping 38 rocks. She can put them into groups of 10 rocks or as single rocks.what are different ways Ann can group the rocks?
Answers
To answer this question, you need to make a list based on how much "10 group" of rock can be made.
The possible way to group it should be:
0 pcs of 10 group + 38 pcs of 1 group
1 pcs of 10 group + 28 pcs of 1 group
2 pcs of 10 group + 18 pcs of 1 group
3 pcs of 10 group + 8 pcs of 1 group
The total ages of 2 buildings is 201 years. if one building is twice as old as the other, what are the ages of 2 buildings?
Answers
In this case, you are given the buildings sum ages ( building A ages+ building B ages = 201 years) and the building ratio ( Building A ages= 2x Building B ages).
To answer the question, you simply need to insert the second equation into the first. It would be:
building A ages + building B ages= 201
2x building B ages + building B ages= 201
building B ages= 67 years.
Then building A ages= 2x 67 years= 134 years.
The ages of the two buildings are 67 and 134 years. This is found by setting up an algebraic equation where the sum of their ages is 201, and one is twice as old as the other.
Finding the Ages of Two Buildings
If the total ages of two buildings is 201 years and one building is twice as old as the other, then we can express the ages of the buildings using algebra. Let's denote the age of the younger building as y years. The older building is twice as old, so its age would be 2y years. The equation based on their total ages would be:
y + 2y = 201 years
Solving this equation:
Combine like terms: 3y = 201.
Divide both sides by 3 to isolate y: y = 201 / 3.
Calculate the exact value: y = 67 years.
So, the younger building is 67 years old, and the older building, being twice as old, is 134 years old.
