Normal lines A normal line at a point P on a curve passes through P and is perpendicular to the line tangent to the curve at P (see figure). Use the following equations and graphs to determine an equation of the normal line at the given point. Illustrate your work by graphing the curve with the normal line.

- For a person at rest, the velocity v (in liters per second) of airflow during a respiratory cycle (the time from the beginning of one breath to the beginning of the next) is modeled by v=0.85sint/3, where t is the time (in seconds). a Find the time for one full respiratory cycle. b Find the number of cycles per minute. c Sketch the graph of the velocity function. Use the graph to confirm your answer in part a by finding two times when new breaths begin. (Inhalation occurs when v0, and exhalation occurs when v0.)arrow_forwardRegression Equationarrow_forwardProvide clear answers pleasearrow_forward
- In the diagram, PSR and TSQ are straight lines. TP is parallel to RQ. How do i calculate the values of x and y?arrow_forward45° F 45. Velocity An airplane is flying in the direction 25° west of north at 800 km/h. Find the component form of the velocity of the air- plane, assuming that the positive x-axis represents due east and the positive y-axis represents due north. 46. Velocity An airplane is flying in the direction 10° east of south at 600 km/h. Find the component form of the velocity of the air- plane, assuming that the positive x-axis represents due east and the positive y-axis represents due north. 47. Location A bird flies from its nest 5 km in the direction 60° north of east, where it stops to rest on a tree. It then flies 10 km in the direction due southeast and lands atop a telephone pole. Place an xy-coordinate system so that the origin is the bird's nest, the x-axis points east, and the y-axis points north. a. At what point is the tree located? b. At what point is the telephone pole? 48. Use similar triangles to find the coordinates of the point Q that di- vides the segment from P1(x1, ı, z1)…arrow_forward
