Answer:

The given lines are perpendicular.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the question, two lines are given as line 1 passes through (1,7) and (5,5). Whereas, line 2 passes through (-1,-3) and (1,1).

It is required to find the slope of given lines and figure out whether they are perpendicular, parallel or neither.

To solve this question, first find the slope of both lines. Check if their product is equal to -1, then they are perpendicular. If the slopes are equal the lines are parallel.

Step 1 of 2

Find the slope of first line.

$$\begin{aligned}m_{1} &=\frac{5-7}{5-1} \\m_{1} &=\frac{-2}{4} \\m_{1} &=-\frac{1}{2}\end{aligned}$$

Step 2 of 2

Find the slope of first line.

$$\begin{aligned}&m_{2}=\frac{1-(-3)}{1-(-1)} \\&m_{2}=\frac{4}{2} \\&m_{2}=2\end{aligned}$$

And

$$\begin{aligned}&m_{1} m_{2}=-\frac{1}{2}(2) \\&m_{1} m_{2}=-1\end{aligned}$$

Since, both slopes are reciprocal of each other.

Therefore, the lines are perpendicular.

Select all the factors roots of x^3 +2x^2-16x-32
Ivanshal [37]

Factor by grouping. Group up the terms into pairs, factor each pair, then factor out the overall GCF.

x^3 + 2x^2 - 16x - 32

(x^3 + 2x^2) + (-16x-32) ... pair up terms

x^2(x + 2) + (-16x - 32) ... factor x^2 from the first group

x^2(x + 2) - 16(x + 2) ... factor -16 from the second group

(x^2 - 16)(x + 2) .... factor out (x+2)

(x - 4)(x + 4)(x + 2) .... Use the difference of squares to factor x^2-16

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

The original expression completely factors to (x - 4)(x + 4)(x + 2)

The three factors are x - 4  and  x + 4   and   x + 2

Answer:

SA= 720 m^2

Step-by-step explanation:

x=\sqrt{5^2+12^2}=13m

AS=2*1/2*12+12*22+5*22+13*22

= 60+264+110+13*22

AS= 720m^2
