Question: * 3.6.2 / 10. P = (x, y) on y = x^2 - 8.

Give your expression for the distance d from P to (0, -1)

YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

Your solution:

Distance from P to (0,1):

sqrt( (0 - x)^2 + (-1 - (x^2-8))^2)

sqrt(x^2 + (-7-x^2)^2)

sqrt( x^2 + 49 - 14 x^2 + x^4)

sqrt( x^4 - 13 x^2 + 49)

confidence rating #$&*:3

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

.............................................

Given Solution:

* * ** P = (x, y) is of the form (x, x^2 - 8).

So the distance from P to (0, -1) is

sqrt( (0 - x)^2 + (-1 - (x^2-8))^2) =

sqrt(x^2 + (-7-x^2)^2) =

sqrt( x^2 + 49 - 14 x^2 + x^4) =

sqrt( x^4 - 13 x^2 + 49). **

What are the values of d for x=0 and x = -1?

YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

Your solution:

X=0

sqrt( x^4 - 13 x^2 + 49) = sqrt(0^4 - 13 * 0 + 49) = sqrt(49) = 7

x=-1

sqrt( x^4 - 13 x^2 + 49) = sqrt((-1)^4 - 13 * (-1) + 49) = sqrt( 63)

confidence rating #$&*:3

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

.............................................

Given Solution:

* * If x = 0 we have

sqrt( x^4 - 13 x^2 + 49) = sqrt(0^4 - 13 * 0 + 49) = sqrt(49) = 7.

If x = -1 we have

sqrt( x^4 - 13 x^2 + 49) = sqrt((-1)^4 - 13 * (-1) + 49) = sqrt( 63).

sqrt(64) = 8, so sqrt(63) is a little less than 8 (turns out that sqrt(63) is about 7.94).

Note that these results are the distances from the x = 0 and x = 1 points of the graph of y = x^2 - 8 to the point (0, -1). You should have a sketch of the function and you should verify that these distances make sense. **

Question: * 3.6.9 / 18 (was and remains 3.6.18). Circle inscribed in square.

What is the expression for area A as a function of the radius r of the circle?

YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

Your solution:

PIr^2 = area of a circle

4r^2-PIr^2= (4-PI)r^2

confidence rating #$&*: 1

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

.............................................

Given Solution:

* * ** A circle inscribed in a square touches the square at the midpoint of each of the square's edges; the circle is inside the square and its center coincides with the center of the square. A diameter of the circle is equal in length to the side of the square.

If the circle has radius r then the square has sides of length 2 r and its area is (2r)^2 = 4 r^2.

The area of the circle is pi r^2.

So the area of the square which is not covered by the circle is 4 r^2 - pi r^2 = (4 - pi) r^2. **

What is the expression for perimeter p as a function of the radius r of the circle?

The perimeter of the square is 4 times the length of a side which is 4 * 2r = 8r. **

Question: * 3.6.19 / 27 (was 3.6.30). one car 2 miles south of intersection at 30 mph, other 3 miles east at 40 mph

Give your expression for the distance d between the cars as a function of time.

YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

Your solution:

distance = sqrt(x^2 + y^2) = sqrt( (2 + 30 t)^2 + (3 + 40t)^2 ) = sqrt( 4 + 120 t + 900 t^2 + 9 + 240 t + 1600 t^2) = sqrt( 2500 t^2 + 360 t + 13)

confidence rating #$&*: 2

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

.............................................

Given Solution:

* * ** At time t the position of one car is 2 miles south, increasing at 30 mph, so its position function is 2 + 30 t.

The position function of the other is 3 + 40 t.

If these are the x and the y coordinates of the position then the distance between the cars is

distance = sqrt(x^2 + y^2) = sqrt( (2 + 30 t)^2 + (3 + 40t)^2 ) = sqrt( 4 + 120 t + 900 t^2 + 9 + 240 t + 1600 t^2) = sqrt( 2500 t^2 + 360 t + 13). **
