Answer:

y +2 = 2(x +3)

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation in point-slope form for a line with slope m through point (h, k) is ...

y -k = m(x -h)

The slope of your given line is the coefficient of x, -1/2. The slope of a perpendicular line will be the negative reciprocal of that: -1/(-1/2) = 2. So, you have m = 2, (h, k) = (-3, -2), and your desired equation is ...

y -(-2) = 2(x -(-3)) . . . . . . which can be simplified to ...

y +2 = 2(x +3)

6x+Q=Px+15 what values of P and Q result in an equation with exactly one solution?

NNADVOKAT [17]

P = 6

Q = 15

How to solve:

Note the equal sign. This means that both expression's out come must equal each other. For that to happen, everything inside both expressions must equal each other. In this case:

6x + Q = Px + 15; 6x + 15 = 6x + 15

Answer:

65 non-fiction books need to be shelved

Step-by-step explanation:

This question can be solved using a rule of three.

For each 5 non-fiction books, there are 9 fiction books. How many non-fiction books are there when there are 117 fiction books?

5 non-fiction - 9 fiction

x non-fiction - 117 fiction

$9x = 5*117$

$x = \frac{5*117}{9}$

$x = 65$

65 non-fiction books need to be shelved

Explain why each of the following integrals is improper. (a) 4 x x − 3 dx 3 Since the integral has an infinite interval of integ

erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer:

Since the integral has an infinite discontinuity, it is a Type 2 improper integral

Since the integral has an infinite interval of integration, it is a Type 1 improper integral

Since the integral has an infinite discontinuity, it is a Type 2 improper integral

Step-by-step explanation:

Considering a

$\int\limits^4_3 {\frac{x}{x- 3} } \, dx$

Looking at this we that at x = 3 this integral will be infinitely discontinuous

Considering b

$\int\limits^{\infty}_0 {\frac{1}{1 + x^3} } \, dx$

Looking at this integral we see that the interval is between $0 \ and \ \infty$ which means that the integral has an infinite interval of integration , hence it is a Type 1 improper integral

Considering c

$\int\limits^{\infty}_{- \infty} {x^2 e^{-x^2}} \, dx$

Looking at this integral we see that the interval is between $-\infty \ and \ \infty$ which means that the integral has an infinite interval of integration , hence it is a Type 1 improper integral

Considering d

$\int\limits^{\frac{\pi}{4} }_0 {cot (x)} \, dx$

Looking at the integral we see that at x = 0 cot (0) will be infinity hence the integral has an infinite discontinuity , so it is a Type 2 improper integral
