(-3,1) perpendicular to y=2/5x-4

miss Akunina [59]3 years ago

(-3, 1)             y = 2/5x - 4 
 x₁  y₁              slope (m) = 2/5x

Since the equation we are looking for is perpendicular to y = 2/5x - 4, we need to find the opposite reciprocal slope. We have to flip the slope upside down and turn it negative.

2/5 ⇒ 5/2 ⇒ -5/2

So far, we have the equation y = -5/2.

Now, we need to find the y intercept by plugging in the given point into point slope form, which is...

y - y₁ = m(x - x₁) 

The subscripts in the y and x are just the x and y in (-3,1). They are just placeholders, not exponents.

y - 1 = -5/2(x + 3)
 y - 1 = -5/2x - 15/2
   + 1               +     1
------------------------------
 y = -5/2x - 13/2 ⇒ final equation

Find the break - even points for company X, which sells all it produces, if the variable cost per unit is $3, fixed costs are $2
ohaa [14]

Given:

The variable cost per unit is $3, fixed costs are $2.

The revenue function is:

Y_{TR}=5\sqrt{q}

where q is the number of thousands of units of output produced.

To find:

The break - even points for company X.

Solution:

The variable cost per unit is $3, fixed costs are $2.

So, the cost function is:

Total cost = Fixed cost + Variable cost × Quantity

Y_{TC}=2+3q

The revenue function is:

Y_{TR}=5\sqrt{q}

At break - even points the profit is zero. It means the cost and revenue are equal.

Y_{TC}=Y_{TR}

2+3q=5\sqrt{q}

Squaring both sides, we get

(2+3q)^2=(5\sqrt{q})^2

2^2+2(2)(3q)+(3q)^2=25q

4+12q+9q^2-25q=0

4-13q+9q^2=0

Splitting the middle term, we get

4-4q-9q+9q^2=0

4(1-q)-9q(1+q)=0

(4-9q)(1-q)=0

Using zero product property, we get

4-9q=0 and 1-q=0

q=\dfrac{4}{9} and q=1

q\approx 0.444 and q=1

Therefore, the break even points are 0.444 and 1.

Answer: <u>96</u> sq ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

      First, we will find the area of the rectangular sides. Since the triangle is an equilateral triangle, all the rectangles will be the same size.

             A = L * W

             A = (10 ft) * (3 ft)

             A = 30 ft²

             30 ft² * 3 = 90 ft²

      Next, we will find the area of the two triangles.

             A = \frac{b*h}{2}

             A = \frac{3*2}{2}=\frac{6}{2} =3

             3 ft + 3 ft = 6 ft²

      Lastly, we will add them together for the total surface area.

90 ft² + 6 ft² = 96 ft²

The side length of a square is:
Licemer1 [7]

Answer:

<h2>4x+4</h2>

Basic fact:

<em>all sides of a square are equal</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

1 side is x+1 so all sides are x+1

there are 4 sides so times everything by 4

4(x+1) which is 4x+4
