If points f and g are symmetric with respect to the line y=x, then the line connecting f and g is perpendicular to y=x, and f and g are equidistant from y=x.

This problem could be solved graphically by graphing y=x and (8,-1).  With a ruler, measure the perpendicular distance from y=x of (8,-1), and then plot point g that distance from y=x in the opposite direction.  Read the coordinates of point g from the graph.

Alternatively, calculate the distance from y=x of (8,-1).  As before, this distance is perpendicular to y=x and is measured along the line y= -x + b, where b is the vertical intercept of this line.  What is b?  y = -x + b must be satisfied by (8,-1):  -1 = -8 + b, or b = 7.  Then the line thru (8,-1) perpendicular to y=x is     y = -x + 7.  Where does this line intersect y = x?

y = x = y = -x + 7, or 2x = 7, or x = 3.5.  Since y=x, the point of intersection of y=x and y= -x + 7 is (3.5, 3.5).

Use the distance formula to determine the distance between (3.5, 3.5) and (8, -1).  This produces the answer to this question.

Jeremy buy a new computer with 14 optional features some of the features cost $28.50 and some cost $110.99 he if he spent a tota
makkiz [27]

28.50x + 110.99(14-x)=811.45

distribute

28.50 x + 1553.86-110.99x =811.45

combine like terms

-82.49x+1553.86=811.45

subtract 1553.86 from each side

-82.49x =-742.41

divide by -82.49

x=9

He bought 9 of the 28.50 features and 5 of the 110.99 features

Solve the equation after making an appropriate substitution. X^6-98x^3=3375
Leni [432]
Rearrange x^6-98x^3=3375 to give

x^6-98x^3-3375=0

Let x^3 be a variable 'p' and so we can write x^6 as x^6=(x^3)(x^3)=(p)(p)= p^2

Rewrite the equation in terms of 'p'

p^2-98p-3375 = 0

where a=1, b=-98, c=-3375

using the quadratic formula \frac{-b+ \sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a} and subsitute the value of a, b, c

p_1= \frac{-(-98)+ \sqrt{(-98)^2-4(1)(-3375)} }{2} =125

p_2= \frac{-(-98)- \sqrt{(-98)^2-4(1)(-3375)} }{2} =-27

There are two value of p; 125 and -27 

Now we find the value of x

Earlier we substitute x^3 for p and x^6 for p^2

When p=125, x= \sqrt[3]{125}=5
When p = -27, x= \sqrt[3]{-27}=-3

So the final answer is the two values of x; 

x = 5 OR x = -3
