Find an equation of the line perpendicular to y = - 2x + 2

Mathematics

kondaur [170]1 year ago

Answer:

<u><em>y = (1/2)x + 1</em></u>

Step-by-step explanation:

y=mx+b, where m is the slope and b the y-intercept (the value of y when x = 0).  We are given y = -2x + 2 as the reference line and are asked to find a line that is perpendicular to it.  (We'll get to the (2,2) thing later).

A perpendicular line has a slope that is the negative inverse of the reference line slope, which in this case is -2 (the m).  The negative inverse of -2 is -(-1/2) or (1/2),  This measn the perpendicular line will have the form:

     y = (1/2)x + b

The complication is that we want this new line to go through point (2,2).  Easy.  Just substitute (2,2) in the aboove ea=quation and solve for b:

y = (1/2)x + b  for (2,2)

<u>2</u> = (1/2)<u>2</u> + b

b = 2 - 1, b = 1

The equation of the line perpendicular to y = -2x + 2 is <u>y = (1/2)x + 1,</u>

<u></u>

See attached graph for proof.

Find the domain for the function f(x)=sqrt x^2-x+6
dybincka [34]

Answer:

The domain is {x : x ∈ R} or (-∞ , ∞)

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets explain how to find the domain

- The domain of the function is the values of x which make the

  function defined

- The quantity under the square root must be ≥ 0 because there is

  no square root for negative value

* Lets solve the problem

∵ f(x) = √(x² - x + 6)

∴ The value of (x² - x + 6) must be greater than or equal zero because  

   there is no square root for negative value

- Graph the function to know which values of x make the quantity

  under the root is negative that means the values of x which make

  the graph under the x-axis

∵ The graph doesn't intersect the x-axis at any point

∵ All the graph is above the x-axis

∴ There is no value of x make f(x) < 0

∴ x can be any real number

∴ The domain of f(x) is all real numbers

∴ The domain is {x : x ∈ R} or (-∞ , ∞)
