Answer:

y=-5x+4

Step-by-step explanation:

First lets find the midpoint of the points (-5,3) and (5,5).

(0,4) is the midpoint by the midpoint formula.

Next we find the slope of the 2 points.

2/10 or 1/5

To find the perpendicular bisector, we need to find the negative reciprocal of the slope, which is -5x. However, we want the line to pass through (0,4), so we make the y-intercept 4.

Therfore, the answer is y=-5x+4

Answer:

P(A) = 0.57 (to the nearest hundredth)

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 7 letters in total

4 of them are the letter A

⇒ P(A) = 4/7

= 0.5714285714...

= 0.57 (to the nearest hundredth)

andreyandreev [35.5K]

To get the x-intercept you put y=0

0=2x-8

2x=8 , x=4

the point is (4,0)

Answer:

(8√2) / 15

Step-by-step explanation:

A curve bounded by the y-axis is represented by in terms of dy;

$\int \:x\:dt$

When the curve crosses the y-axis, x will be 0. In this case x is the function of t, so we have to solve for x(t) = 0;

0 = t^2 + 2t --- (1)

Solution(s) => t = 0, t = 2

dy = (1/2 * 1/√t)dt --- (2)

Our solutions (0, 2) are our limits. The area of the curve is in the form $A\:=\:\int _b^a\:f\left(t\right)g'\left(t\right)dt$ , so now let's introduce the limits of integration, x(t) and dy/dt. Remember, dy/dt = (1/2 * 1/√t) (second equation). 1/2 * 1/√t can be rewritten as 1/2 * t^(-1/2)....

$A\:=\:\int _2^0\:\left(t^2-2t\right)\left(\frac{1}{2}t^{-\frac{1}{2}}\right)dt\\\\= \int _2^0\:\left(\frac{1}{2}t^{\frac{3}{2}}-t^{\frac{1}{2}}\right)dt\\\\= \left[\frac{t^{\frac{5}{2}}}{5}-\frac{2t^{\frac{3}{2}}}{3}\right]_2^0\\\\= 0\:-\:\left(\frac{4\sqrt{2}}{5}-\frac{4\sqrt{2}}{3}\right)\\\\= \frac{8\sqrt{2}}{15}$
