A line perpendicular to another occurs at the negative reciprocal of the slope of the original line. Why this is, I can further explain in the comments if you're interested. What is a reciprocal though? a reciprocal, if you're unfamiliar, is just the flipped form of it.
As an example, the negative reciprocal of 1/4 is -4/1. I multiplied 1/4 by a negative, and flipped the fraction.
So, what would the negative reciprocal of 3 be? well, you can imagine 3 to be 3/1 to help. so we multiply it by a negative, which gives us -3/1, and then we flip it, giving us -1/3. This is the slope of our unknown line. Because of this, we can mark out...well all of them haha. You need to double check your question and answers provided. With the info you've given me, none of your answers are correct. Let me know what happened if you can! if not, I would question your teacher, cause they messed up somewhere haha.
Step-by-step explanation:
just think - what does it mean to translate (shift) a graph upward by 5 units ?
does the graph change in its content ? no. all the functional result value (= y values or coordinates) are still calculated as before, BUT before marking them on the chart the y values are moved up by 5 units. that means they are increased by 5 (that is the only way to move something "up" on a coordinate grid).
so, in other words, f(x) is nothing else but h(x), but it increases the results of h(x) consistently by 5.
h(x) = 2x² + 4
f(x) = h(x) + 5 = 2x² + 4 + 5 = 2x² + 9
118 handle bars tells us that there's 118 bikes
if all 118 bikes were regular bikes
118*2 = 236
we would be 33 wheels short
118*1 = 118
we would be 17 seats short
----
if 101 of the bikes are regular and 17 are tandem
101*1 = 101
17*2 = 34
we would have the right amount of seats
101*2 = 202
17*2 = 34
202 + 34 = 236
we would be 33 wheels short.
----
if 17 bikes are tandem, 33 are tricycle, and 68 are regular
17*2 = 34
33*3 = 99
68*2 = 136
we would have the right amount of wheels
---
Answer:
There are 68 bicycles, 17 tandem bicycles, and 33 tricycles.
This question isn't hard, it just takes longer since it's based off of guess and check.
