Homework Help Overview

The problem involves a function defined as f(x) = (2/3)x + 2 and its graphical representation in a coordinate system. Participants are asked to create a complete figure including specific points on the x-axis and to calculate distances and areas related to triangles formed by these points.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Conceptual clarification, Problem interpretation

Approaches and Questions Raised

  • Participants discuss the graphical representation of the function and the coordinates of points A, B, H, C, and M. There are attempts to clarify the positions of these points and the nature of the graph, with some questioning the accuracy of the coordinates provided.

Discussion Status

The discussion includes various attempts to clarify the problem and the graphical representation. Some participants express frustration over not receiving a drawn graph, while others emphasize the importance of understanding the function's linearity and the coordinates of the points involved.

Contextual Notes

There is a repeated emphasis on the need for a graphical representation, with participants expressing that visualizing the function is crucial for their understanding. Some participants also note discrepancies in the coordinates of points A and B, suggesting a need for clarification on the problem setup.

Homework Statement



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The function defined on R by f(x)= 2/3x+2

And cf his graphic representation in an orthonormal mark (o; i; j)

On the X axis, we consider points A, B and H of respective abscissas 3, -3 and x (x belongs R)

Or C the point of Cf of the same abscissa as A and M the point of Cf of abscissa x


1°) Make the complete figure ?

2°) Calculate the distances AH and MH according to x and by means of the absolute values ?

3°) To determine for which value (s) of x the areas of triangles CHA and MOB is equal ?


Please Anyone for help me, Can u drwan this graphic please please and represents all points A B H M and C

Did you repost this? I remember responding to post where both A and B had abscissa 3! It would have been better to add your correction to the same thread.

Or C the point of Cf of the same abscissa as A and M the point of Cf of abscissa x
Okay so C also has abscissa (x-value) 3 and is on the graph y= (2/3)x+ 2 so y= (2/3)(3)+ 2= 4. C is the point (3, 4). Similarly, M is the point (x, (2/3)x+ 2).

1°) Make the complete figure ?
Surely, if you are doing a problem like this, you know that the graph of a function like this is a straight line? When x= -3 (as with point B), y= (2/3)(-3)+ 2= -2+ 2= 0. The graph is the straight line that passes through (-3, 0) and (3, 4).

2°) Calculate the distances AH and MH according to x and by means of the absolute values ?
Since A is (3, 0) and H is (x, 0), the distance from A to H is |x-(-3)|= |x+ 3|. Since M is the point (x, (2/3)x+ 2 and, again, H is (x, 0), the distance from M to H is |x- (2/3)x0- 2|= |(1/3)x- 2|.

3°) To determine for which value (s) of x the areas of triangles CHA and MOB is equal ?
CHA is a triangle with vertices at (2, 4), (x, (2/3)x+ 2), and (2, 0). That's a right triangle with base of length AH and height HC= |4- 2|= 2. The area of a triangle is (1/2)*base*height. The area is a formula involving x.

MOB (O is the origin, (0,0)?) is not a right triangle but it is still a triangle with base OB= 3 and and height AC. Again, you will get a formula involving x. If the areas are equal, set those two formulas equal and solve for x.

Please Anyone for help me, Can u drwan this graphic please please and represents all points A B H M and C
As I said above, the graph is a straight line passing through (-3, 0) and (3, 4).

Hello Thank you for your answer but can you make this graphic please He is going to help me throughout my homework By representing all the points PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE
 
No, I am not going to draw a straight line for you! I have already told you that the graph is the straight line passing (-3, 0) and (3, 4). If you can't draw that you need more help than I can give you.
