Find the equation of a line that passes through (5,-3) and is perpendicular to y = x.

1 answer:

8 0

We know the slope is -1, because perpendicular line's slopes are always the negative reciprocal. We plug (5, -3) in to get:
-3 = -5 + b
b = 2
So we get C. y = -x + 2.

Jade can do 65 push ups in 5 minutes. At the same rate, how many push ups can you expect her to do in 7 minutes?

hram777 [196]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Set up a proportion, where x is the number of push ups she can do in 7 minutes

$\frac{65}{5}$ = $\frac{x}{7}$

Cross multiply and solve for x:

5x = 455

x = 91

So, Jade can do 91 push ups in 7 minutes

If f(x)=x^4+3x^3-x^2+6, find f(-3).

docker41 [41]

Answer:

f(-3) = -3

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: f(x) means "f of x" and f(-3) means "f of -3", so you have to replace all the "x" letters in the function with the value -3.

$f(x)=x^4+3x^3-x^2+6\\f(-3)=(-3)^4+3(-3)^3-(-3)^2+6$
