Well the line that bisects RS, will cut RS in two equal halves, therefore, that line will cut RS perpendicularly at the midpoint of RS.

now, what the dickens is the midpoint of RS anyway?

\bf \textit{middle point of 2 points }\\ \quad \\
\begin{array}{lllll}
&x_1&y_1&x_2&y_2\\
%  (a,b)
R&({{ -1}}\quad ,&{{ 6}})\quad 
%  (c,d)
S&({{ 5}}\quad ,&{{ 5}})
\end{array}\qquad
%   coordinates of midpoint 
\left(\cfrac{{{ x_2}} + {{ x_1}}}{2}\quad ,\quad \cfrac{{{ y_2}} + {{ y_1}}}{2} \right)
\\\\\\
\left( \cfrac{5-1}{2}~~,~~\cfrac{5+6}{2} \right)\implies \stackrel{midpoint}{\left(2~~,~~\frac{11}{2}  \right)}

so, we know that perpendicular line, will have to go through (2, 11/2)

now, a perpendicular line to RS, will have a negative reciprocal slope to it.  Well, what is the slope of RS anyway?

\bf \begin{array}{lllll}
&x_1&y_1&x_2&y_2\\
%   (a,b)
&({{ -1}}\quad ,&{{ 6}})\quad 
%   (c,d)
&({{ 5}}\quad ,&{{ 5}})
\end{array}
\\\\\\
% slope  = m
slope = {{ m}}= \cfrac{rise}{run} \implies 
\cfrac{{{ y_2}}-{{ y_1}}}{{{ x_2}}-{{ x_1}}}\implies \cfrac{5-6}{5-(-1)}\implies \cfrac{5-6}{5+1}\implies -\cfrac{1}{6}

and let's check the reciprocal negative of that,

\bf \textit{perpendicular, negative-reciprocal slope for slope}\quad -\cfrac{1}{6}\\\\
slope=-\cfrac{1}{{{ 6}}}\qquad negative\implies  +\cfrac{1}{{{ 6}}}\qquad reciprocal\implies + \cfrac{{{ 6}}}{1}\implies 6

so, then, what's is the equation of a line whose slope is 6, and goes through 2, 11/2?

\bf \begin{array}{lllll}
&x_1&y_1\\
%   (a,b)
&({{ 2}}\quad ,&{{ \frac{11}{2}}})
\end{array}
\\\\\\
% slope  = m
slope = {{ m}}= \cfrac{rise}{run} \implies 6
\\\\\\
% point-slope intercept
\stackrel{\textit{point-slope form}}{y-{{ y_1}}={{ m}}(x-{{ x_1}})}\implies y-\cfrac{11}{2}=6(x-2)
\\\\\\
y-\cfrac{11}{2}=6x-12\implies -6x+y=-12+\cfrac{11}{2}\implies \stackrel{\textit{standard form}}{-6x+y=-\cfrac{13}{2}}

Answer:

The limits between which T lies is 273 hours 30 mins < T < 242 hours 30 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of hours Angharad sleeps each night = 8 hours ± 10 minutes

The actual time Angharad sleeps each night = 8 hours ± 5 minutes

Which gives the maximum time Angharad sleeps = 8 hours 5 minutes = 485 minutes per night

The minimum time Angharad sleeps = 7 hours 55 minutes = 475 minutes

The number of days in the month of November = 30 nights

The maximum time in minutes Angharad sleeps in November, T_{max} = 30 nights × 485 minutes/night = 14,550 minutes = 242.5 hours = 242 hours 30 minutes

The minimum time in minutes Angharad sleeps in November, T_{min} = 30 nights × 475 minutes/night = 14,250 minutes = 237.5 hours = 237 hours 30 minutes

Therefore, we have, the limits between which T lies given as follows;

273.5 hours < T < 242.5 hours.

Monica has a goal to complete a triathlon. The race consists of a 2.4-mile swim, a 112-mile bike ride, and a 26.2-mile run. In t
klasskru [66]

Taking into account the definition of speed, Monica will complete the triathlon in 12.62 hours.

<h3>Definition of speed</h3>

Speed can be defined as the amount of space traveled per unit of time with which a body moves and can be calculated using the expression:

speed= distance traveled÷ time

<h3>Time to complete the triathlon</h3>

In this case, you know

  • Swim:
  1. speed= 1.8 mph
  2. distance traveled= 2.4 miles
  • Ride a bike
  1. speed= 19.2 mph
  2. distance traveled= 112 miles
  • Run:
  1. speed= 4.8 mph
  2. distance traveled= 26.2 miles

Replacing these values ​​in the speed definition:

  • Swim: 1.8 mph= 2.4 miles÷ time to swim
  • Ride a bike: 19.2 mph= 112 miles÷ time to ride a bike
  • Run: 4.8 mph= 26.2 miles÷ time to run

Solving:

<u><em>Swim: </em></u>1.8 mph×time to swim= 2.4 miles

time to swim= 2.4 miles÷ 1.8 mph

time to swim= 1.33 h

<u><em>Ride a bike:</em></u> 19.2 mph× time to ride a bike = 112 miles

time to ride a bike= 112 miles÷ 19.2 mph

time to ride a bike=5.83 h

<u><em>Run: </em></u>4.8 mph× time to run= 26.2 miles

time tu run= 26.2 miles÷ 4.8 mph

time to run= 5.46 h

The time to complete the triathlon is the sum of each of the stages:

Total time= time to swim + time to ride a bike + time to run

Total time= 1.33 h + 5.83 h + 5.46 h

<u><em>Total time= 12.62 h</em></u>

In summary, Monica will complete the triathlon in 12.62 hours.

May anyone help me with this please
balu736 [363]

Answer:

x = - 8, x = - 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

x² + 15x + 30 = 3x - 2 ( subtract 3x - 2 from both sides )

x² + 12x + 32 = 0 ← in standard form

Consider the factors of the constant term (+ 32) which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term (+ 12)

The factors are + 8 and + 4 , since

8 × 4 = + 32 and 8 + 4 = + 12 , then

(x + 8)(x + 4) = 0 ← in factored form

Equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x + 8 = 0 ⇒ x = - 8

x + 4 = 0 ⇒ x = - 4
