What is the equation of the line that passes through the point (-6,8) and has a slope of -5/3?

Mathematics

Answer:

y = -5/3 - 8

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to write this in the form y = mx + b.  We need to find the m (slope) and the b (y-intercept) ,  Whew, they already gave us the slope, so we are have way there.  I will plug in the x and y that we are given from the point (-6, 8) to solve for b.

y = mx + b

8 = -5/3(-6) + b  Multiply the fraction by -6

8 = 30/3 + b  I can make 6 a fraction by writing it 6/1 and then just multiply straight across.  A negative times a negative is a positive.

8 = 10 + b   30/3 is equal to 10.  Now subtract 10 from both sides to get b

-8 = b

I can now write the equations since I now know m and b.

y = -5/3 + (-8) which is the same as y = -5/3 - 8.  Adding a negative is the same as subtracting a positive.

Solve –16t² +144= 0 to find the number of seconds, t, it takes for an object dropped from 144 ft above the ground to hit the gro
Vlad1618 [11]

Answer:

h(t) = -16t2 + 144

h(1) = -16(12) + 144 = 128 ft

h(2) = -16(22) + 144 = 80 ft

h(2) - h(1) = 80 - 128 = -48 ft

It fell 48 ft between t = 1 and t = 2 seconds.

It reaches the ground when h(t) = 0

0 = -16t2 + 144

t = √(144/16) s = 3s

It reaches the ground 3s after being dropped.

15x^2 + 41x + 28 <br><br>STEP BY STEP ANSWER PLSSS​
maria [59]

Answer:

(3x+4)(5x+7)

Step-by-step explanation:

15x^2 +41x+28

Factor the expression by grouping. First, the expression needs to be rewritten as 15x^2 +ax+bx+28. To find a and b, set up a system to be solved.

a+b=41

ab=15×28=420

Since ab is positive, a and b have the same sign. Since a+b is positive, a and b are both positive. List all such integer pairs that give product 420.

1,420

2,210

3,140

4,105

5,84

6,70

7,60

10,42

12,35

14,30

15,28

20,21

Calculate the sum for each pair.

1+420=421

2+210=212

3+140=143

4+105=109

5+84=89

6+70=76

7+60=67

10+42=52

12+35=47

14+30=44

15+28=43

20+21=41

The solution is the pair that gives sum 41.

a=20

b=21

Rewrite 15x^2 +41x+28 as (15x^2 +20x)+(21x+28).

(15x^2 +20x)+(21x+28)

Factor out 5x in the first and 7 in the second group.

5x(3x+4)+7(3x+4)

Factor out common term 3x+4 by using distributive property.

(3x+4)(5x+7)

A large corporation starts at time t = 0 to invest part of its receipts continuously at a rate of P dollars per year in a fund f
Andrews [41]

Answer:

A = \frac{P}{r}\left( e^{rt} -1 \right)

Step-by-step explanation:

This is <em>a separable differential equation</em>. Rearranging terms in the equation gives

                                                \frac{dA}{rA+P} = dt

Integration on both sides gives

                                            \int \frac{dA}{rA+P} = \int  dt

where c is a constant of integration.

The steps for solving the integral on the right hand side are presented below.

                               \int \frac{dA}{rA+P} = \begin{vmatrix} rA+P = m \implies rdA = dm\end{vmatrix} \\\\\phantom{\int \frac{dA}{rA+P} } = \int \frac{1}{m} \frac{1}{r} \, dm \\\\\phantom{\int \frac{dA}{rA+P} } = \frac{1}{r} \int \frac{1}{m} \, dm\\\\\phantom{\int \frac{dA}{rA+P} } = \frac{1}{r} \ln |m| + c \\\\&\phantom{\int \frac{dA}{rA+P} } = \frac{1}{r} \ln |rA+P| +c

Therefore,

                                        \frac{1}{r} \ln |rA+P| = t+c

Multiply both sides by r.

                               \ln |rA+P| = rt+c_1, \quad c_1 := rc

By taking exponents, we obtain

      e^{\ln |rA+P|} = e^{rt+c_1} \implies  |rA+P| = e^{rt} \cdot e^{c_1} rA+P = Ce^{rt}, \quad C:= \pm e^{c_1}

Isolate A.

                 rA+P = Ce^{rt} \implies rA = Ce^{rt} - P \implies A = \frac{C}{r}e^{rt} - \frac{P}{r}

Since A = 0  when t=0, we obtain an initial condition A(0) = 0.

We can use it to find the numeric value of the constant c.

Substituting 0 for A and t in the equation gives

                         0 = \frac{C}{r}e^{0} - \frac{P}{r} \implies \frac{P}{r} = \frac{C}{r} \implies C=P

Therefore, the solution of the given differential equation is

                                   A = \frac{P}{r}e^{rt} - \frac{P}{r} = \frac{P}{r}\left( e^{rt} -1 \right)
