You want to pull out the square roots of each term since they are both perfect squares.

Factor using the difference of squares formula: a2-b2=(a+b)(a-b)
This formula allows the middle term to cancel out.

=x2 - 49
=(x + 7)(x - 7)

ANSWER: (x + 7)(x - 7)

Hope this helps! :)

Write an equation in slope-intercept form for the line that passes through the point ( -1 , -2 ) and is perpendicular to the l

mamaluj [8]

The equation in slope-intercept form for the line that passes through the point ( -1 , -2 ) and is perpendicular to the line − 4 x − 3 y = − 5 is $y = \frac{3}{4}x - \frac{5}{4}$

Solution:

The slope intercept form is given as:

y = mx + c ----- eqn 1

Where "m" is the slope of line and "c" is the y - intercept

Given that the line that passes through the point ( -1 , -2 ) and is perpendicular to the line − 4 x − 3 y = − 5

Given line is perpendicular to − 4 x − 3 y = − 5

− 4 x − 3 y = − 5

-3y = 4x - 5

3y = -4x + 5

$y = \frac{-4x}{3} + \frac{5}{3}$

On comparing the above equation with eqn 1, we get,

$m = \frac{-4}{3}$

We know that product of slope of a line and slope of line perpendicular to it is -1

$\frac{-4}{3} \times \text{ slope of line perpendicular to it}= -1\\\\\text{ slope of line perpendicular to it} = \frac{3}{4}$

Given point is (-1, -2)

Now we have to find the equation of line passing through (-1, -2) with slope $m = \frac{3}{4}$

Substitute (x, y) = (-1, -2) and m = 3/4 in eqn 1

$-2 = \frac{3}{4}(-1) + c\\\\-2 = \frac{-3}{4} + c\\\\c = - 2 + \frac{3}{4}\\\\c = \frac{-5}{4}$

$\text{ substitute } c = \frac{-5}{4} \text{ and } m = \frac{3}{4} \text{ in eqn 1}$

$y = \frac{3}{4} \times x + \frac{-5}{4}\\\\y = \frac{3}{4}x - \frac{5}{4}$

Thus the required equation of line is found

Angles and transversals thank you

faltersainse [42]

Answer:

#11-13: 118 , 97 , 62

#7-10: 92 , 125 , 56 , 130

Step-by-step explanation:

#11. Supplementary angles (A + B = 180)

(n + 7) + (3n - 47) = 180
n = 55
<ABC = 3(55) - 47 = 118 degrees

#12. Supplementary angles

83 + x = 180
x = 97
<ABC = 97 degrees

#13. Congruent angles (A = B)

(8x - 34) = (5x +2)
x = 12
<DEF = 5 (12) + 2 = 62 degrees

#7. Congruent angles

(3x +23) = 4x
x = 23
<ABC = 4(23) = 92 degrees

#8. Congruent angles

5x = (3x + 50)
x = 25
<MPQ = 3(25) + 50 = 125 degrees

#9. Congruent angles

(a + 28) = 2a
a = 28
<MNP = (28) + 28 = 56 degrees

#10. Congruent angles

5y = (2y + 78)
y = 26
<WXZ = 5(26) = 130 degrees

I hope this helps!

5 Michiko has a metal container in the shape of a cuboid. The container is 2.4 m long, 1.2 m wide and 0.6 m high. Michiko plans

konstantin123 [22]

Answer:

a) Michiko needs to buy 18 tins of paint.

b) cost of paint would be $152.82

Step-by-step explanation:

Surface area of cuboid = 2lw + 2lh + 2hw

Length (l) = 2.4 m

Width (w) = 1.2 m

Height (h) = 0.6 m

SF = 2(2.4 × 1.2) + 2(2.4 × 0.6) + 2(0.6 × 1.2)

= 5.76 + 2.88 + 1.44

= 10.08 meter²

Paint coverage is 4.5 meter² per liter.

Total paint used in one coat =

= 2.24 liters

Paint used in double coats = 2.24 × 2 = 4.48 liters

a) Size of one tin paint = 250 ml

1 liters = 1000 ml

4.48 liters = 4.48 × 1000 = 4480 ml

Number of tins needed by Michiko =

= 17.92 ≈ 18 tins

b) Cost of one tin of metal paint = $8.49

∴ cost of 18 tins of paint = $152.82

a) Michiko needs to buy 18 tins of paint.

b) cost of paint would be $152.82
