A cross because they are intersecting each other at the center of each line.

If two lines are perpendicular, they form a 90° angle, or a right angle. By definition, two perpendicular lines intersect at a right angle. For instance, a vertical line and a horizontal line will cross at a 90° angle.

Here is a (very crude) sketch of two perpendicular lines. The box between the place where the lines intersect indicates a right angle.

Hope this helps!

Which represents a quadratic function ?

mars1129 [50]

Answer:

$\boxed{\boxed{B.\ f(x)=\dfrac{3}{4}x^2+2x-5}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Quadratic function-

It is a function that can be represented by an equation of the form $f = ax^2 + bx + c$ , where $a\neq 0$

In a quadratic function, the greatest power of the variable is 2.

As in the first option the highest power is 3, so it is not a quadratic function.

Even though the power of x is 2 in the third option, but as it is in the denominator, so the overall power of x becomes -2. Hence it is not a quadratic function.

As the coefficient of $x^2$ is 0 in case of fourth option, so it is not a quadratic function.

Equation in option 2 satisfies all the conditions of quadratic function, hence it is the quadratic function.

Fifteen less than twice a number is 21.<br> What is the missing number? |

Vikentia [17]

Answer:

2y - 15

Step-by-step explanation:

well 15 LESS than TWICE a number. okay so let’s start off by making a variable for the unknown number.... y. the variable is y. so now we have to think, TWICE that number, but we don’t know the number.

Now that we have the variable and we know it has to be doubled, let’s start off making the first half... we can out that into 2y. which is 2 multiplied by the unknown number.

now that we have the first half done, we have to take the 15 less. Less can mean or subtract in this kind of situation. but for this certain scenario, it will be subtraction. so the equation would be 2y - 15.

Evelyn and Meredith decided to kayak 1 mile up and then back in the Humboldt channel.

Yakvenalex [24]

The rate of the water flowing in the channel was 2 miles per hour, the rate Evelyn and Meredith were paddling is mathematically given as

v+ = 2.29 1mile/hour

<h3>What is the rate Evelyn and Meredith were paddling?</h3>

Generally, the equation for the up and downstream motion is mathematically given as

vup=v-2

vdown=v+2

Therefore, Statement interpretation

2/3=40*1/60

3+2/3hr=11/3

Where, tup+tdown=11/3

tup+tdown=11/3

1/Vup+1/vdown=11/3

Considering the LCD equation

3(v-2)(V+2)

Hence

$\frac{3(v-2)(v+2)}{v-2}+\frac{3(v-2)(v+2)}{v+2}=\frac{11(3)(v-2)(v+2)}{3}\\\\3(v+2)+3(v-2)=11(v+2)(v-2)$

11v^2-6v-44=0

$v=\frac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$

Resolving using the equation we have

v+ = 2.29 1mile/hour

v- = -1.745 mile hour
