Perpendicular lines have the negative reciprocal slope, so the slope of your new line will be -1/4 and the current equation will be as follows:
y = -1/4x + b
(where b is the y intercept)

to find b, plug in point A and you'll get:
2 = -1/4(16) + b
2 = -4 + b
6 = b

the equation will be:
y = -1/4x + 6

Express the measurement 4.29478416 kg with 8, 6, 4, and 2 significant figures
ira [324]

Significant figures refers to digits within a number which must be included in other depict correct quantity of the figure.

  • 4.29478416 = 4.2947842 ( 8 significant figures)
  • 4.29478416 = 4.29478 (6 significant figures)
  • 4.29478416 = 4.295 ( 4 significant figures)
  • 4.29478416 = 4.3 (2 significant figures)

To round a number to a certain number of significant figures,

  • Only leading 0 which comes before the decimal Point are regarded as insignificant.
  • Once the number of significant figures have been identified, the next number after this is either rounded up to 1 and added to the last value(if number is ≥5) or rounded to 0 (if number is less than 5)

It would take an hour for plane A to meet plane B which is flying towards it. If the distance between them will be 200 miles aft
sammy [17]
Let a = speed of the plane A, and b = speed of plane B.
(Assume that the net effect of the wind is negligible.)
From the first sentence, the distance between A and B after each travels for 1 hour is a + b miles. From the second sentence, after 45 minutes, or 0.75 hour, the distance between A and B is 200 miles. Plane a has traveled 0.75a, while plane B has traveled 0.75b.
Hence a + b = 0.75a + 0.75b +200
==> 0.25(a + b) = 200.
==> a + b = 800.
Therefore planes A and B are 800 miles apart now.

HELP!!!! PLEASE I NEED HELP!!!!
NNADVOKAT [17]

for the first one it is the second option because of one property of logarithms:

log(a)-log(b)=log\frac{a}{b}

for the second one using the same property we can say that we third option is correct and not the second one but we use one more property of the logarithm

loga(b)^x=xloga(b) the power of the logarithm becomes a fator and \sqrt[3]{x} is equal to x^{\frac{1}{3}}
