Microphones In studiosand on stages, cardioid microphones are often preferred for the richness they add to voices and for their ability to reduce the level of sound from the sides and rear of the microphone. Suppose one such cardioid pattern is given by the equation x2+y2-x2=x2+y2
.

(a) Find the intercepts of the graph of the equation.

(b) Test for symmetry with respect to the x-axis, y-axis, and origin.

Short Answer

Expert verified

a)

The intercepts of the graph of the equation x2+y2-x2=x2+y2are:

(0,0),(2,0)(0,1)(0,-1)

b)

The equation is symmetric with respect to the x-axis,

Step by step solution

01

Determine the x-intercept.

For x-intercept, substitute 0for yand then solve for x.

x2+02-x2=x2+02x2-x2=x2x4-2x3+x2=x2x4-2x3=0x3x-2=0x=0,2

02

Determine the y-intercept.

For y-intercept, substitute 0for xand then solve for y.

02+y2-02=02+y2y4=y2y4-y2=0y2y2-1=0y2y-1y+1=0y=0,1,-1

03

Determine the symmetry.

Perform the test for symmetry with respect to the x-axis.

Replace ywith -y.

x2+(-y)2-x2=x2+(-y)2x2+y2-x2=x2+y2

The above equation is same as the given equation.

Perform the test for symmetry with respect to they-axis.

Replace xwith -x.

-x2+y2--x2=-x2+y2x2+y2+x2=x2+y2

The above equation is not same as the given equation.

Perform the test for symmetry with respect to the origin.

Replace xwith -xand ywith -y.

-x2+(-y)2--x2=-x2+(-y)2x2+y2+x2=x2+y2

The above equation is not same as the given equation.

04

Write the conclusion.

The x-intercept is 0,0,2,0.

The y-intercept is 0,1,0,-1.

The equation is symmetric with respect to the x-axis,

Ferris Wheel The original Ferris wheel was built in 1893 by Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, bridge builder George W. Ferris.

The Ferris wheel was originally built for the 1893 World’s Fair in Chicago and was later reconstructed for the 1904 World’s Fair in St. Louis. It had a maximum height of

264 feet and a wheel diameter of 250 feet. Find an equation for the wheel if the center of the wheel is on the y-axis.

Little League Baseball Refer to Problem 106. Overlay a rectangular coordinate system on a Little League baseball diamond so that the origin is at home plate, the positive

x-axis lies in the direction from home plate to first base, and the positive y-axis lies in the direction from home plate to third base.

(a) What are the coordinates of first base, second base, and third base? Use feet as the unit of measurement.

(b) If the right fielder is located at (180, 20), how far is it from there to second base?

(c) If the center fielder is located at (220, 220), how far is it from there to third base?

Plot each point. Then plot the point that is symmetric to it with respect to -

(a) the x-axis

(b) the y-axis

(c) the origin

Point (-3, -4)

Select a setting so that each given point will lie within the viewing window.

-80,-60,(20,-30),(-20,-40)

The tangent line to a circle may be defined as the line that intersects the circle in a single point, called the point of tangency. See the figure.

If the equation of the circle is x2+y2=r2and the equation of the tangent line is y = mx + b, show that:

(a) r2(1+m2)=b2

[Hint: The quadratic equation x2+(mx+b)2=r2has exactly one solution.]

(b) The point of tangency is (-r2mb,r2b).

(c) The tangent line is perpendicular to the line containing the center of the circle and the point of tangency.
