4 goes into 4 once, and then into 16 4 times. Making the final answer 1/4
Answer:
The intersection is .
The Problem:
What is the intersection point of and ?
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the intersection of and , we will need to find when they have a common point; when their and are the same.
Let's start with setting the 's equal to find those 's for which the 's are the same.
By power rule:
Since implies :
Squaring both sides to get rid of the fraction exponent:
This is a quadratic equation.
Subtract on both sides:
Comparing this to we see the following:
Let's plug them into the quadratic formula:
So we have the solutions to the quadratic equation are:
or .
The second solution definitely gives at least one of the logarithm equation problems.
Example: has problems when and so the second solution is a problem.
So the where the equations intersect is at .
Let's find the -coordinate.
You may use either equation.
I choose .
The intersection is .
The perimeter of a rectangle is given by the formula,
We substitute,
and
into the above formula to obtain the expression,
We now group the x and y terms on the Left Hand Side of the equation to get.
We now divide through by 2 to get,
Therefore the width of the rectangle is
Here is my process for solving this.
First I drew arrows that indicated I was moving the whole triangle 5 units to the left.
*Look at first attachment*
Then I drew another triangle using those new points. (The new triangle is in pink)
*Look at second attachment*
Then I drew arrows that moved this new triangle 4 units up. (The new arrows are in pink)
*Look at third attachment*
Then I drew the new triangle in blue using the new points.
*Look at fourth attachment*
Then I mirrored / reflected the triangle over the x axis (the horizontal line) In green.
*Look at fifth attachment*
The fifth attachment in green is the final product! Hope that helps.
