Use slopes to determine if the lines 6x + 9y = 2 and 9x + 6y = -3 are perpendicular.

1 answer:

8 0

Answer:

Explanation:

Make the equation into slope-int form:
6x + 9y = 2
9y = -6x + 2
y = (-6/9)x + 2/9
y = (-2/3)x + 2/9

9x + 6y = -3
6y = -9x - 3
y = (-9/6)x - 3/6
y = (-3/2)x - 1/2

In order for a line to perpendicular the slope needs to be an opposite reciprocal of the other. If our first slope is -2/3 then the opposite reciprocal should be 3/2 but, we found out that our second slope is -3/2 not 3/2 therefore, it will not perpendicular.

The correct answer is 1.

So, circle the 0 after the equals sign because the equation does not equal 0.

Anything raised by the power of 0 is 1.

This is known as the zero exponent rule :)

For f(x)=2x+1 and g(x)=x^2-7 find (f•g)(x)

skad [1K]

(f•g)(x) = (2x+1) (<span>x^2-7)
</span>(f•g)(x) = 2x^3 + x^2- 14x - 7
