What is the standard form of the equation of a line for which the length of the normal segment to the origin is 8 and the normal
jeka57 [31]
Slope of line = tan(120) = -tan(60) = - √3
Distance from origin = 8

Let equation be Ax+By+C=0
then -A/B=-√3, or
B=A/√3.
Equation becomes
Ax+(A/√3)y+C=0

Knowing that line is 8 units from origin, apply distance formula
8=abs((Ax+(A/√3)y+C)/sqrt(A^2+(A/√3)^2))
Substitute coordinates of origin (x,y)=(0,0)  =>
8=abs(C/sqrt(A^2+A^2/3))
Let A=1 (or any other arbitrary finite value)
solve for positive solution of C
8=C/√(4/3) => C=8*2/√3 = (16/3)√3

Therefore one solution is
x+(1/√3)+(16/3)√3=0
or equivalently
√3 x + y + 16 = 0

Check:
slope = -1/√3  .....ok
distance from origin
= (√3 * 0 + 0 + 16)/(sqrt(√3)^2+1^2)
=16/2
=8  ok.

Similarly C=-16 will satisfy the given conditions.

Answer  The required equations are
√3 x + y = ± 16 
in standard form.

You can conveniently convert to point-slope form if you wish.

A certain company's main source of income is a mobile app. The company's annual profit (in millions of dollars) as a function of
liberstina [14]

Answer:

x = $3, or x = $11


Step-by-step explanation:

The equation given is P(x)=-2(x-3)(x-11)

where

  • P(x) is the profit, and
  • x is the app price

<u>We want app prices (x's) when profit (P(x)) is 0, so plugging in into the equation:</u>

P(x)=-2(x-3)(x-11)\\0=-2(x-3)(x-11)\\0=(x-3)(x-11)

<em>It means (x-3) = 0  OR  (x-11) = 0</em>

So, x = 3, or 11

Factor the polynomial: 3x(x-6) + 8(x-6)
neonofarm [45]

Answer:

C

You just split the equation, as the brackets are both same. If you take (x-6) out, it will leave you with 3x+8.

Therefore, (x-6)(3x+8) is the answer.
