Which statement explains how the lines 2x + y = 4 and y = one halfx + 4 are related?

Answer:

They are perpendicular

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem .

we will convert the equations in slope intercept form.

Slope intercept  form of equation is y = mx+c

where m is slope of line and c is y intercept.

________________________________

equation 1 is

2x+y = 4

=> y =4 - 2x or y = -2x + 4

comparing it with y = mx + c

m = -2  , c = 4

_________________________________________

equation 2 is y = one halfx + 4 ( one half is same as 1/2)

so equation is

y = x/2 +4

comparing it with y = mx + c

m = 1/2  , c = 4

_________________________________________

Now lets evaluate options

They are parallel.  wrong option

For lines to be parallel slope should be same.

But here slope are different -2 and 1/2 .

Thus lines are not parallel.

__________________________________________

They are perpendicular.  correct option

For lines to be perpendicular, product of slope should be equal to -1.

-2*1/2 = -1

we can see that product of slope should be equal to -1 .

Thus lines are  perpendicular

______________________________________

They are the same line.  wrong option

For lines to be same both slope and y intercept should  be same.

Y intercept is same but the slopes are different -2 and 1/2  .

Thus lines are not  the same line.

__________________________________________

They are not related.       wrong option

As we have found that the lines are perpendicular .

So this option is intuitively wrong

81x%5E4-16 Start with the given expression.

%289x%5E2%29%5E2-16 Rewrite 81x%5E4 as %289x%5E2%29%5E2.

%289x%5E2%29%5E2-%284%29%5E2 Rewrite 16 as %284%29%5E2.

Notice how we have a difference of squares A%5E2-B%5E2 where in this case A=9x%5E2 and B=4.

So let's use the difference of squares formula A%5E2-B%5E2=%28A%2BB%29%28A-B%29 to factor the expression:

A%5E2-B%5E2=%28A%2BB%29%28A-B%29 Start with the difference of squares formula.

%289x%5E2%29%5E2-%284%29%5E2=%289x%5E2%2B4%29%289x%5E2-4%29 Plug in A=9x%5E2 and B=4.

So this shows us that 81x%5E4-16 factors to %289x%5E2%2B4%29%289x%5E2-4%29.

In other words 81x%5E4-16=%289x%5E2%2B4%29%289x%5E2-4%29.

Now let's factor 9x%5E2-4 further

-------------------------------------

 

9x%5E2-4 Start with the given expression.

%283x%29%5E2-4 Rewrite 9x%5E2 as %283x%29%5E2.

%283x%29%5E2-%282%29%5E2 Rewrite 4 as %282%29%5E2.

Notice how we have a difference of squares A%5E2-B%5E2 where in this case A=3x and B=2.

So let's use the difference of squares formula A%5E2-B%5E2=%28A%2BB%29%28A-B%29 to factor the expression:

A%5E2-B%5E2=%28A%2BB%29%28A-B%29 Start with the difference of squares formula.

%283x%29%5E2-%282%29%5E2=%283x%2B2%29%283x-2%29 Plug in A=3x and B=2.

So this shows us that 9x%5E2-4 factors to %283x%2B2%29%283x-2%29.

In other words 9x%5E2-4=%283x%2B2%29%283x-2%29.

----------------------------------------------------------------

Answer:

So 81x%5E4-16 completely factors to %289x%5E2%2B4%29%283x%2B2%29%283x-2%29

Kendall is solving this inequality. x/2 + 6 &gt; 42 What should she do first to solve?
Aleonysh [2.5K]

Answer:

see below

Step-by-step explanation:

First, she should subtract 6 from both sides of the inequality. This makes it so that the x terms are on one side and the non-x terms are on the other side so she can then solve for x by multiplying the entire inequality by 2.

Answer:

6 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since they've given use the area of the triangle, we can use the area formula to find the base of the triangle.

The formula to find the area of a triangle is:

a= 1/2hb

h = height

b= base

We know:

a=24

h=8
