To find the gradient of the perpendicular line, we know that we must do the negative inverse of the current line's gradient

-6x from the old line will now be 1/6x

we are given points on that line and we therefore use the points and the new gradient to find the equation of the line using this formula

y-y1=m(x-x1) where m is the gradient

input the values that we have

y-5=1/6(x--4)

rearrange

y-5=1/6(x+4)
y-5=1/6x+4/6
6y-30=x+4
6y=x+34
y=1/6x+34/6
y=1/6x+17/3

Put in -4 for y

13x=4x+4(-4)
Subtract 4x from both sides
9x= -16
Divide both sides by 9
X=-16/9

Y=(1/2)^x +2. What is the horizontal asymptote of this function?
professor190 [17]
\lim_{x\to -\infty} \left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^x+2=\infty+2=\infty\\
\lim_{x\to \infty} \left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^x+2=0+2=2\\

There is one-sided horizontal asymptote y=2

Find value of x such that the data set has a mean of 105: 99, 119, 106, 112; 108
Marizza181 [45]
I'm assuming that x is part of the data set, and, with x, the mean equals 105. To find the value of x, you must add all the data values together to get 544+x (you still don't know what x equals). Then put 544+x over how many days values there are, including x (there are 6). You should have 544+x/6. Now, as this is how you would calculate the mean if you knew what x was equal to, you must set it equal to the mean, since you know what it is (105). You should now have 544+x/6 = 105. You have your equation set up--now you just have to solve it. I would multiply by 6 on both sides to get rid of the 6 on the left side. You would then have 544+x = 630. I would finally subtract 544 from both sides to get x = 86. Your final answer is x = 86.
