Answer:
1.778 times more or 16/9 times more
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
- Mirror 1: D_1 = 8''
- Mirror 2: D_2 = 6"
Find:
Compare the light gathering power of an 8" primary mirror with a 6" primary mirror. The 8" mirror has how much light gathering power?
Solution:
- The light gathering power of a mirror (LGP) is proportional to the Area of the objects:
LGP ∝ A
- Whereas, Area is proportional to the squared of the diameter i.e an area of a circle:
A ∝ D^2
- Hence, LGP ∝ D^2
- Now compare the two diameters given:
LGP_1 ∝ (D_1)^2
LGP ∝ (D_2)^2
- Take a ratio of both:
LGP_1/LGP_2 ∝ (D_1)^2 / (D_2)^2
- Plug in the values:
LGP_1/LGP_2 ∝ (8)^2 / (6)^2
- Compute: LGP_1/LGP_2 ∝ 16/9 ≅ 1.778 times more

Determine the equation of line that is perpendicular to the given points and that pass through 
First, we need to determine the slope, m of FG
Where
--- 
--- 
The question says the line is perpendicular to FG.
Next, we determine the slope (m2) of the perpendicular line using:
The equation of the line is then calculated as:
Where
Multiply through by 2
Add x to both sides
Hence, the line of the equation is
For the first system, we have
1 - 3x + 3y = -8
or
-3x + 3y = -9
The second equation, however, tells us
-3x + 3y = 13
but -9 ≠ 13, so this system has no solution.
For the second system, notice that multiplying both sides of
4x - 8y = 6
by 1/2 gives
2x - 4y = 3
which is identical to the other equation in the system. Then all point (x, y) that lie on this line are solutions to the system, meaning there are infinitely many solutions.
