Answer:

y = -2x + 16.

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of the perpendicular line = -1 / slope of the given line

= -1 / 1/2 = -2.

Using the point slope form of the equation of a straight line:

y - y1 = m (x - x1)

y - 8 = -2(x - 4)

y - 8 = -2x + 8

y = -2x + 16 is the required equation.

What are the zeros of the polynomial

arsen [322]

The zeros of the potynomial y = 3(x + 4)(x + 1)(x - 3)

$3(x + 4)(x + 1)(x - 3) = 0 \iff x+4=0\ \vee\ x+1=0\ \vee\ x-3=0\\\\x=-4\ \vee\ x=-1\ \vee\ x=3$

<h3>Answer: a) -4, -1, 3</h3>

How do u regroup when u find the sum of 64+43

Anarel [89]

What we are going to do is use the DISTRIBUTIVE PROPERTY. This distributive the numbers, to make it easier to solve.

So we will break 64 up.

64 = 60 + 4

43 = 40 + 3

60 + 40 = 100

4 + 3 = 7

100 + 7 = 107

So, 64 + 43 = 107.
