Where do lines modeled by equations y=-7/8x+1/4 and y=-3/4x+1/2 intersect

If they intersect they have the same x and y values so we can say y=y which can be expressed as:

-7x/8+1/4=-3x/4+1/2 make all terms have a common denominator of 8

-7x/8+2/8=-6x/8+4/8 now multiply all terms by 8

-7x+2=-6x+4 add 6x to both sides

-x+2=4 subtract 2 from both sides

-x=2 divide both sides by -1

x=-2, now we solve for y using either original equation...

y=-3(-2)/4+1/2

y=6/4+1/2

y=6/4+2/4

y=8/4

y=2 so the lines intersect at the point:

(-2, 2)

Prove : (sec θ - tan θ )^2 = 1 - sin θ /1+sin θ

$(sec x - tan x)^2 \\ \\ = sec^2x - 2 sec x tan x + tan^2 x \\ \\ =(1+tan^2 x) - 2 sec x tan x +tan^2 x \\ \\ =1 - 2 sec x tan x + 2 tan^2 x \\ \\ = 1 - 2tan x(sec x - tan x) \\ \\ =1 - \frac{2 sin x}{cos x} (\frac{1-sin x}{cos x}) \\ \\ = 1 - \frac{2 sin x (1-sin x)}{cos^2 x} \\ \\ =1 - \frac{2 sin x (1-sin x)}{1-sin^2 x} \\ \\ =1 - \frac{2 sin x (1-sin x)}{(1-sin x)(1+sin x)} \\ \\ =1-\frac{2 sin x}{1+sin x}$

From his home, Clayton would have to walk 4 miles north to get to his friend Miki's house and 1 mile east to get to his friend D

iren2701 [21]

The houses form a right triangle. Using a²+b²=c² you will find that the distance from Clayton’s house to Danny’s would be 4.1 miles. Adding it all up, the distance would be 9.1 miles of walking.

How much tip should you leave if you want to tip 23% at Applebee’s on a $27.31 bill?

nydimaria [60]

Answer:

6.2813

Step-by-step explanation:

If you minus 27.31 of 23%. 23% would have to be changed into a decimal or whole number.

After that, you would want to check your answer on a calculator, which I usually do.

The temperature rose by 11 degrees Fahrenheit today. Write a signed number to represent this temperature change

Anestetic [448]

The rise in temperature by 11 degrees Fahrenheit can be represented by the temperature change, ΔT = +11 °F. The temperature change is positive because the temperature increased as stated in the question. Moreover, the formula for temperature change is: ΔT = T_final - T_initial. This means that for this case, the final temperature is higher than the initial temperature.

Find x if 2^x=8^3x-8

Anon25 [30]

Step-by-step explanation:

First we have to same the bases.

As we know 8=2^3.

Replace 8 with 2^3.

Like this .

2^3x=2^3(2x+1).

Now 3x=3(2x+1) distribute 3 by the Barker.

3x=6x+3.

6x+3=3x.

6x-3x=-3.

3x=-3.

X=-1.
