2 answers:

8 0

perpendicular lines, slope is opposite and reciprocal
y = 8x + 5 has slope = 8
so perpendicular line slope = -1/8

answer
-1/8

Answer: $\dfrac{1}{8}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation of a line : $y = 8x + 5$

We know that general Slope-intercept form of equation is given by :-

$y=mx+c$ , where m is the slope of the line.

When we compare the given equation the general slope intercept form of equation , we get

Slope of line = 8

We know that the product of slopes of two perpendicular line is -1.

Let m be the slope of line that is perpendicular to the line $y = 8x + 5$ , then we have

$-8\times m=-1\\\\\Rightarrow\ m=\dfrac{1}{8}$

Answer:

16 square units

Step-by-step explanation:

When you plot the points, you see they define a trapezoid with bases of lengths 2 and 6, and a height of 4. The area formula is ...

A = (1/2)(b1 +b2)h

A = (1/2)(2 +6)(4) = 16

The area of the trapezoid is 16 square units.

If α and β are the zeros of the quadratic polynomial f(x) = 3x2–4x + 5, find a polynomialwhose zeros are 2α + 3β and 3α + 2β.

Lelechka [254]

Answer:

$\boxed{\sf \ \ \ 3x^2-20x+37\ \ \ }$

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello,

a and b are the zeros, we can say that

$f(x)=3(x^2-\dfrac{4}{3}x+\dfrac{5}{3}) = 3(x-a)(x-b)=3(x-(a+b)x+ab)$

So we can say that

$a+b=\dfrac{4}{3}\\ab=\dfrac{5}{3}$

Now, we are looking for a polynomial where zeros are 2a+3b and 3a+2b

for instance we can write

$(x-2a-3b)(x-3a-2b)=x^2-(2a+3b+3a+2b)x+(2a+3b)(3a+2b)\\= x^2-5(a+b)x+6a^2+6b^2+9ab+4ab$

and we can notice that

$a^2+b^2=(a+b)^2-2ab$ so

$(x-2a-3b)(x-3a-2b)=x^2-5(a+b)x+6[(a+b)2-2ab]+13ab\\= x^2-5(a+b)x+6(a+b)^2+ab$

it comes

$x^2-5*\dfrac{4}{3}x+6(\dfrac{4}{3})^2+\dfrac{5}{3}$

multiply by 3

$3x^2-20x+2*16+5=3x^2-20x+37$

Find the product of the given polynomials. (5x + 8 – 6r) (4 + 2r – 7)

Inessa05 [86]

Answer:

-12r² + 10xr - 15x + 34r - 24

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Organize it, variables first - as well as adding constants such as 4 and -7

(5x - 6r + 8) (2r - 3)

2. Start by multiplying the 5x by (2r - 3), then -6r, followed by 8

(10xr - 15x) + (-12r^2 + 18r) + (16r - 24)

3. Simplify

10xr - 15x - 12r² + 18r + 16r - 24

4. Order by greatest to smallest factorial

-12r² + 10xr - 15x + 18r + 16r - 24

5. Combine like variables

-12r² + 10xr - 15x + 34r - 24
