Mathematics

Answer:

\sf y=-\dfrac{1}{2}x+1

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope-intercept form: y = mx + b

<u>where:</u>

  • m is the slope
  • b is the y-intercept (when x = 0)

Given: y = 2x + 9

<u>where:</u>

  • 2 is the slope
  • (0, 9) is the y-intercept

Note:

<u>Perpendicular lines</u> have slopes that are negative reciprocals of each other. 

\sf \textsf{a slope of 2} \implies \textsf{would have a negative reciprocal of} -\dfrac{1}{2}

\textsf{Perpendicular line:}\ \sf y=-\dfrac{1}{2}x+b

Substitute the given point into the the equation to find the value of b:

\sf \sf y=-\dfrac{1}{2}x+1\\\\-1=-\dfrac{1}{2}(4)+b\\\\-1=-2+b\\\\-1+2=-2+2+b\\\\1=b

\textsf{Perpendicular line:}\ \sf y=-\dfrac{1}{2}x+1

Answer: y =  -\frac{1}{2}x + 1

Step-by-step explanation:

      First, we will find the slope. The slope of perpendicular lines are negative reciprocals.

      In this case, the first slope is 2. The negative of 2 is -2, and the reciprocal of -2 is -\frac{1}{2}.

      Now, we will plug in this new slope, the point given, and solve for the <em>b</em>, or the y-intercept.

y = <em>m</em>x + <em>b</em>

(-1) =  (-\frac{1}{2})(4) + <em>b</em>

-1 =  -2 + <em>b</em>

1 = <em>b</em>

     Lastly, we will write our equation.

y = <em>m</em>x + <em>b</em>

y =  -\frac{1}{2}x + 1

          The line is y =  -\frac{1}{2}x + 1, or y = 1 - \frac{x}{2}.

What is the first step in solving the equation x2 – 16/25 = 0?
Keith_Richards [23]

Rearrange the equation by subtracting what is to the right of the equal sign from both sides of the equation : 

                     x^2-(16/25)=0 

Step by step solution :<span>Step  1  :</span> 16 Simplify —— 25 <span>Equation at the end of step  1  :</span><span><span> 16 (x2) - —— = 0 25 </span><span> Step  2  :</span></span>Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :

<span> 2.1 </span>  Subtracting a fraction from a whole 

Rewrite the whole as a fraction using <span> 25 </span> as the denominator :

<span> x2 x2 • 25 x2 = —— = ——————— 1 25 </span>

<span>Equivalent fraction : </span>The fraction thus generated looks different but has the same value as the whole 

<span>Common denominator : </span>The equivalent fraction and the other fraction involved in the calculation share the same denominator

Adding fractions that have a common denominator :

<span> 2.2 </span>      Adding up the two equivalent fractions 
Add the two equivalent fractions which now have a common denominator

Combine the numerators together, put the sum or difference over the common denominator then reduce to lowest terms if possible:

<span> x2 • 25 - (16) 25x2 - 16 —————————————— = ————————— 25 25 </span>Trying to factor as a Difference of Squares :

<span> 2.3 </span>     Factoring: <span> 25x2 - 16</span> 

Theory : A difference of two perfect squares, <span> A2 - B2  </span>can be factored into <span> (A+B) • (A-B)

</span>Proof :<span>  (A+B) • (A-B) =
         A2 - AB + BA - B2 =
         A2 <span>- AB + AB </span>- B2 = 
        <span> A2 - B2</span>

</span>Note : <span> <span>AB = BA </span></span>is the commutative property of multiplication. 

Note : <span> <span>- AB + AB </span></span>equals zero and is therefore eliminated from the expression.

Check :  25  is the square of  5 
Check : 16 is the square of 4
Check : <span> x2  </span>is the square of <span> x1 </span>

Factorization is :       (5x + 4)  •  (5x - 4) 

<span>Equation at the end of step  2  :</span> (5x + 4) • (5x - 4) ——————————————————— = 0 25 <span>Step  3  :</span>When a fraction equals zero :<span><span> 3.1 </span>   When a fraction equals zero ...</span>

Where a fraction equals zero, its numerator, the part which is above the fraction line, must equal zero.

Now,to get rid of the <span>denominator, </span>Tiger multiplys both sides of the equation by the denominator.

Here's how:

(5x+4)•(5x-4) ————————————— • 25 = 0 • 25 25

Now, on the left hand side, the <span> 25 </span> cancels out the denominator, while, on the right hand side, zero times anything is still zero.

The equation now takes the shape :
   (5x+4)  •  (5x-4)  = 0

Theory - Roots of a product :

<span> 3.2 </span>   A product of several terms equals zero.<span> 

 </span>When a product of two or more terms equals zero, then at least one of the terms must be zero.<span> 

 </span>We shall now solve each term = 0 separately<span> 

 </span>In other words, we are going to solve as many equations as there are terms in the product<span> 

 </span>Any solution of term = 0 solves product = 0 as well.

Solving a Single Variable Equation :

<span> 3.3 </span>     Solve  :    5x+4 = 0<span> 

 </span>Subtract  4  from both sides of the equation :<span> 
 </span>                     5x = -4 
Divide both sides of the equation by 5:
                     x = -4/5 = -0.800 

Solving a Single Variable Equation :

<span> 3.4 </span>     Solve  :    5x-4 = 0<span> 

 </span>Add  4  to both sides of the equation :<span> 
 </span>                     5x = 4 
Divide both sides of the equation by 5:
                     x = 4/5 = 0.800 

<span><span> x = 4/5 = 0.800
</span><span> x = -4/5 = -0.800
</span></span>
