Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem, first, you have to use the slope formula of y₂-y₁/x₂-x₁=rise/run. Remember to solve this problem, use slope-intercept form of y=mx+b.

m represents the slope.

b represents the y-intercept.

Y₂=4

Y₁=1

X₂=3

X₁=(-6)

Solve & simplify.

$\displaystyle \mathsf{\frac{4-1}{3-(-6)}=\frac{3}{9}=\frac{3\div3}{9\div3}=\frac{1}{3} }}$

The slope is 1/3.

Y-intercept is 3.

y=1/3x+3

In conclusion, the correct answer is y=1/3x+3.

Find x: 3/(x-4)(x-7) + 6/(x-7)(x-13) + 15/(x-13)(x-28) - 1/x-28 = -1/20

Novay_Z [31]

The value of x<em> </em>in the polynomial fraction 3/((x-4)•(x-7)) + 6/((x-7)•(x-13)) + 15/((x-13)•(x-28)) - 1/(x-28) = -1/20 is <em>x </em>= 24

<h3>How can the polynomial with fractions be simplified to find<em> </em><em>x</em>?</h3>

The given equation is presented as follows;

$\frac{3}{(x - 4) \cdot (x - 7) } + \frac{6}{(x - 7) \cdot (x - 13) } + +\frac{15}{(x - 13) \cdot (x - 28) } - \frac{1}{(x - 28) } = - \frac{1}{20}$

Factoring the common denominator, we have;

$\frac{3\cdot(x - 13) \cdot(x - 28) + 6 \cdot(x - 4) \cdot(x - 28) + 15 \cdot(x - 4) \cdot(x - 7) - (x - 4) \cdot (x - 7)\cdot(x - 13)}{(x - 4) \cdot (x - 7)\cdot(x - 13) \cdot(x - 28)} + = - \frac{1}{20}$

Simplifying the numerator of the right hand side using a graphing calculator, we get;

By expanding and collecting, the terms of the numerator gives;

-(x³ - 48•x + 651•x - 2548)

Given that the terms of the numerator have several factors in common, we get;

-(x³ - 48•x + 651•x - 2548) = -(x-7)•(x-28)•(x-13)

Which gives;

$\frac{-(x - 7) \cdot(x - 28)\cdot (x - 13)}{(x - 4) \cdot (x - 7)\cdot(x - 13) \cdot(x - 28)} + = - \frac{1}{20}$

Which gives;

$\frac{-1}{(x - 4)} + = - \frac{1}{20}$

x - 4 = 20

Therefore;

x = 20 + 4 = 24

PLZ HELP ASAP!!! Will give brainlest ❗️❗️❗️❗️

ohaa [14]

Answer:

<em>I</em>(-1,3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Moving 3 units left adds -3 to x value

Moving 6 units up adds 6 to the y value

2 - 3 = -1

-3 + 6 = 3

(-1,3)

Give the following equations determine if the lines are parallel perpendicular or neither

GaryK [48]

In order to determine whether the equations are parallel, perpendicular, or neither, let's simply each equation into a slope-intercept form or basically, solve for y.

Let's start with the first equation.

$\frac{6x-5y}{2}=x+1$

Cross multiply both sides of the equation.

$6x-5y=2(x+1)$ $6x-5y=2x+2$

Subtract 6x on both sides of the equation.

$6x-5y-6x=2x+2-6x$ $-5y=-4x+2$

Divide both sides of the equation by -5.

$-\frac{5y}{-5}=\frac{-4x}{-5}+\frac{2}{-5}$ $y=\frac{4}{5}x-\frac{2}{5}$

Therefore, the slope of the first equation is 4/5.

Let's now simplify the second equation.

$-4y-x=4x+5$

Add x on both sides of the equation.

$-4y-x+x=4x+5+x$ $-4y=5x+5$

Divide both sides of the equation by -4.

$\frac{-4y}{-4}=\frac{5x}{-4}+\frac{5}{-4}$ $y=-\frac{5}{4}x-\frac{5}{4}$

Therefore, the slope of the second equation is -5/4.

Since the slope of each equation is the negative reciprocal of each other, then the graph of the two equations is perpendicular to each other.

X power to 11 +101 divisible by x+1 then what is the remainder

emmasim [6.3K]

Answer:

110

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's define $P(x) = x^{11} + 101$ . So when we divide it by 'x+1', we can use Bezout's Theorem which states: that any polynomial(P(X)) divided by another binomial in the form 'x - a', then the remainder will be P(a).

We can use this fact to determine the remainder, because we divided our P(X) by x + 1 which is the same as x - (-1). So we plug in P(-1).

P(-1) = (-1)^11 + 101 = -1 + 101 = 110
