<u>Answer:</u>

Amy's age is <em>x</em>.

• Ben's age is 2 more than Amy's age.

∴ Ben's age = <em>x </em>+ 2

• Alice's age is 6 less than Amy's age.

∴ Alice's age = <em>x </em>- 6

What is an equation of the line that passes through the point (1,-3) and is perpendicular to the line x+3y=21

docker41 [41]

The linear equation that is perpendicular to the line x+3y=21 is:

y = 3*x - 6

<h3>How to find the equation of the line?</h3>

A general line in the slope-intercept form is written as:

y = m*x + b

Where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

Two linear equations are perpendicular if the product between the two slopes is equal to -1.

Rewriting the given line we can get:

x +3y = 21

3y = 21 - x

y = 21/3 - x/3

y = (-1/3)*x + 21/3

Then the slope is (-1/3), if our line is perpendicular to this one, then:

m*(-1/3) = -1

m = 3

our line is:

y = 3*x + b

To find the value of b, we use the fact that our line passes through (1, - 3)

-3 = 3*1 + b

-3 - 3 = b

-6 = b

The line is y = 3*x - 6

Please help me with math

Marat540 [252]

The area of triangle BMN is 124.7 square centimeter.

<h3>What are similar triangles?</h3>

Similar triangles are triangles that their corresponding angles are equal and the ratio of their corresponding lengths are equal. They are often similar When at least Two angles are equal or The ratio of any corresponding lengths are same.

Analysis:

AB = AC = BC = 50cm

AH = AC/2 = 50/2 = 25cm

From Δ ABH, using Pythagoras theorem to find BH.

$(BH)^{2}$ = $(AB)^{2}$ - $(AH)^{2}$

$(BH)^{2}$ = $50^{2}$ - $25^{2}$

$(BH)^{2}$ = 2500 - 625

$(BH)^{2}$ = 1875

BH = $\sqrt{1875}$ = 43.3cm

ΔBMN and BHC are similar,

so, BM/BH = MN/HC

BM/43.3 = 12/25

25BM = 12 X 43.3

BM = 519.6/25 = 20.78cm

Area of ΔBMN

= 1/2(MN)(BM) = 1/2 x 12 x 20.78 = 124.7 square centimeter

Please Help - Suppose f(t)=6t−8−−−−√.

Gnoma [55]

$(a)\\\\\\\text{Given that,}~~\\\\ f(t) =\dfrac 6{\sqrt{t-8}}\\\\\\\\\implies f'(t) = 6\left[\dfrac{\left(\sqrt{t-8}\right) \cdot 0 - \dfrac 1{2\sqrt{t-8 }}}{\left(\sqrt{t-8}\right)^2}\right]\\\\\\\\\implies f'(t) = -6\left(\dfrac {\dfrac 1{2\sqrt{t-8}}}{t-8}\right)\\\\\\\implies f'(t) = -6\left(\dfrac{1}{2\sqrt{t-8} (t-8)}\right)\\\\\\\implies f'(t) =-\dfrac 3{(t-8)^{\tfrac 32}}$

(b)

$\text{Given that,}\\\\y=f(t)\\\\\text{Slope of y,} ~~ f'(t) =-\dfrac 3{(t-8)^{\tfrac 32}}\\\\\text{At point (33, 6/5)}\\\\\\f'(t) = -\dfrac 3{(33-8)^{\tfrac 32}} = - \dfrac 3{ (25)^{ \tfrac 32}} = - \dfrac 3{5^3} = -\dfrac 3{125}\\\\\\\text{Equation with given points,}\\\\y - \dfrac 65 = -\dfrac 3{125} ( t - 33)\\\\\\\implies y =-\dfrac 3{125} t +\dfrac{99}{125} + \dfrac 65\\\\\\\implies y = -\dfrac 3{125} t +\dfrac{249}{125}$
