Step-by-step explanation:

$\dfrac{-14x^3}{x^3-5x^4}\qquad\text{where}\ x^3-5x^4\neq0\\\\x^3-5x^4\neq0\qquad\text{distributive}\\\\x^3(1-5x)\neq0\iff x^3\neq0\ \wedge\ 1-5x\neq0\\\\x\neq0\ \wedge\ x\neq\dfrac{1}{5}\\\\\dfrac{-14x^3}{x^3(1-5x)}\qquad\text{cancel}\ x^3\\\\=\dfrac{-14}{1-5x}\qquad\text{where}\ x\neq\dfrac{1}{5}$

Barack walks 2 kilometers south and then x kilometers east. He ends 5 kilometers away from his starting position. Find x

amid [387]

Answer:

4.6 km

Step-by-step explanation:

-This is a Pythagorean Theorem problem where the distances walked are effectively the base and height of the imaginary right triangle thereof.

#Apply Pythagorean theorem to solve:

$b^2+h^2=H^2\\\\2^2+x^2=5^2\\\\x^2=5^2-2^2=21\\\\x=\sqrt{21}\\\\x=4.58\ km$

$\approx 4.6\ km$

Hence, the distance x is 4.6 km

1.What is the equation of the line perpendicular to that passes through ? Write your answer in slope-intercept form. Show your

Juliette [100K]

Answer:

1. Use a compass to make arc marks which intersect above and below then connect.

2. $y=\frac{1}{3}x + 2$

Step-by-step explanation:

1. To construct a perpendicular line, use a compass to draw arc marks from one end of the segment through point P. Then repeat this again at the other end. This means at point P there will be two intersecting arc marks. Repeat the process down below with the same radius as used above. Then connect the two intersections.

2. The point slope form of a line is $(y-y_1)=m(x-x_1)$ where $x_1=-3\\y_1=1$ . We write

$(y-1)=m(x--3)\\(y-1)=m(x+3)$

Since the line is to be perpendicular to the line shown it will have the negative reciprocal to the slope of the function 3x+y =-8. To find m, rearrange the function to be y=-8-3x. The slope is -3 and the negative reciprocal will be 1/3.

$(y-1)=\frac{1}{3}(x+3)$
