a.
The two equations that are graphed in the given image.
The parabolic graph is
Given:
The graph to solve the equation
Concept Used:
- The graph of a quadratic function is U shaped.
- The graph of an even order radical function can take values that are greater than or equal to 0 only.
Calculation:
In the given graph, note that there are two graphs, one is an upward opening parabola and the other graph is starting from the horizontal axis and moving upward.
To solve the given equation,
Since the left hand side expression is an square root function, its graph will start from horizontal axis and move upward and the right side expression is a quadratic function, so its graph will be a parabola.
Thus, the parabolic graph is
b.
The two equations that are graphed in the given image.
The equation graphed is
Given:
The graph to solve the equation
Concept Used:
- The graph of a quadratic function is U shaped.
- The graph of an even order radical function can take values that are greater than or equal to 0 only.
Calculation:
In the given graph, note that there is only one graph and it intersecting the horizontal axis at two points.
To solve the given equation,
Thus, the equation graphed is
c.
How the intersection point in figure (a) related to the x -intercept in figure (b).
The intersection points in figure (a) are same as the x -intercepts in figure (b).
Given:
The graphs to solve the equation
Concept Used:
- The graph of a quadratic function is U shaped.
- The graph of an even order radical function can take values that are greater than or equal to 0 only.
Calculation:
From the figure (a) and figure (b), note that the intersection points of figure (a) are exactly the same as the x -intercepts of the figure (b) as they both giving the solutions of the same equation.
Thus, the intersection points in figure (a) are same as the x -intercepts in figure (b).

- Number 4 plsarrow_forwardGood Day, Would appreciate any assistance with this query. Regards,arrow_forwardThis question builds on an earlier problem. The randomized numbers may have changed, but have your work for the previous problem available to help with this one. A 4-centimeter rod is attached at one end to a point A rotating counterclockwise on a wheel of radius 2 cm. The other end B is free to move back and forth along a horizontal bar that goes through the center of the wheel. At time t=0 the rod is situated as in the diagram at the left below. The wheel rotates counterclockwise at 1.5 rev/sec. At some point, the rod will be tangent to the circle as shown in the third picture. A B A B at some instant, the piston will be tangent to the circle (a) Express the x and y coordinates of point A as functions of t: x= 2 cos(3πt) and y= 2 sin(3t) (b) Write a formula for the slope of the tangent line to the circle at the point A at time t seconds: -cot(3πt) sin(3лt) (c) Express the x-coordinate of the right end of the rod at point B as a function of t: 2 cos(3πt) +411- 4 -2 sin (3лt) (d)…arrow_forward
