Could two lines with negative slope be perpendicular? Explain.

Mathematics

No.  For two lines to be perpendicular their slope must be the negative reciprocals of one another, mathematically:

m1*m2=-1

So if the slope of one line is negative, the line perpendicular to this must be positive by definition.

Can anyone help me please solving this maths problems not sure if. Thanks

The reason you can only compare the numerators is because the denominators are the same- leaving little comparison to really make. The numerators will determine which fraction is greater or smaller.

Ex. 4/5 or 3/5

which is greater? Which is smaller?

It can be seen that the denominators are the same, now finally comparing the numerators will answer both questions.

please vote my answer brainliest. thanks!

A cardboard box without a lid is to have a volume of 19,652 cm3. Find the dimensions that minimize the amount of cardboard used.
Effectus [21]

Answer:

The dimension of the cardboard is 34 cm by 34 cm by 17 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the dimension of the cardboard box be x cm by y cm by z cm.

The surface area of the cardboard box without lid is

f(x,y,z)= xy+2xz+2yz.....(1)

Given that the volume of the cardboard is 19,652 cm³.

Therefore xyz =19,652

\Rightarrow z=\frac{19652}{xy}......(2)

putting the value of z in the equation (1)

f(x,y)=xy+2x(\frac{19652}{xy})+2y(\frac{19652}{xy})

\Rightarrow f(x,y)=xy+\frac{39304}{y})+\frac{39304}{x}

The partial derivatives are

f_x=y-\frac{39304}{x^2}

f_y=x-\frac{39304}{y^2}

To find the dimension of the box set the partial derivatives f_x=0 and f_y=0.Therefore y-\frac{39304}{x^2}=0

\Rightarrow y=\frac{39304}{x^2}.......(3)

and   x-\frac{39304}{y^2}=0

\Rightarrow x=\frac{39304}{y^2}.......(4)

Now putting the x in equation (3)

y =\frac {39304}{(\frac{39304}{y^2})^2}

\Rightarrow y=\frac{y^4}{39304}

\Rightarrow y^3= 39304

⇒y=34 cm

Then \Rightarrow x=\frac{39304}{34^2} =34 cm.

Putting the value of x and y in the equation (2)

z=\frac{19652}{34 \times 24}

  =17 cm.

The dimension of the cardboard is 34 cm by 34 cm by 17 cm.
