Answer:

  x = -2 or -9

Step-by-step explanation:

You want the values of x such that the line defined by the two points (2x+3, x+2) and (0, 2) is perpendicular to the line defined by the two points (x+2, -3-3x) and (8, -1).

<h3>Slope</h3>

The slope of a line is given by the slope formula:

  m = (y2 -y1)/(x2 -x1)

Using the formula, the slopes of the two lines are ...

  m1 = (2 -(x+2))/(0 -(2x+3)) = (-x)/(-2x-3) = x/(2x +3)

and

  m2 = (-1 -(-3-3x))/(8 -(x+2)) = (2+3x)/(6 -x)

<h3>Perpendicular lines</h3>

The slopes of perpendicular lines have product of -1:

  \dfrac{x}{2x+3}\cdot\dfrac{2+3x}{6-x}=-1\\\\x(3x+2)=(2x+3)(x-6)\qquad\text{multiply by $(2x+3)(6-x)$}\\\\3x^2+2x=2x^2-9x-18\qquad\text{eliminate parentheses}\\\\x^2+11x+18=0\qquad\text{put in standard form}\\\\(x+2)(x+9)=0\qquad\text{factor}

<h3>Solutions</h3>

The values of x that satisfy this equation are x = -2 and x = -9. The attached graphs show the lines for each of these cases.

Answer:

  c)  (-5, -7)

Step-by-step explanation:

In a parallelogram, the midpoints of the diagonals are the same point. This means ...

  (R+T)/2 = (S+U)/2

  R +T -S = U

  (-6 +4 -3, -3 -1 -3) = U = (-5, -7)

You have 42 ft. of fencing (1 ft. segments) to make a rectangular garden. How much should each side be to maximize your total ar
Verizon [17]

Answer:

Length=10.5\ ft

Width=10.5\ ft

Area=110.25\ ft^{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x----> the length of the rectangular garden

y---> the width of the rectangular garden

we know that

The perimeter of the rectangle is equal to

P=2(x+y)

we have

P=42\ ft

so

42=2(x+y)

simplify

21=(x+y)

y=21-x------> equation A

Remember that the area of rectangle is equal to

A=xy ----> equation B

substitute equation A in equation B

A=x(21-x)

A=21x-x^{2}----> this is a vertical parabola open downward

The vertex is a maximum

The y-coordinate of the vertex is the maximum area

The x-coordinate of the vertex is the length side of the rectangle that maximize the area

using a graphing tool

The vertex is the point (10.5,110.25)

see the attached figure

so

x=10.5\ ft

Find the value of y

y=21-10.5=10.5\ ft

The garden is a square

the area is equal to

A=(10.5)(10.5)=110.25\ ft^{2} ----> is equal to the y-coordinate of the vertex is correct
