What is the equation of a line that passes through the point (2, 7) and is perpendicular to the line whose equation is y=x/4+5 ?

Answer:

y = -4x+15

Step-by-step explanation:

y=x/4+5 may be presented as y = 1/4 x + 5, where a=1/4, b=5

swapping numerator and denominator and inserting an opposite sign in a=1/4, we have:

1/4 --------> 4/1 -------> -4/1 = -4

y = -4x+n

Point (2,7) means that x=2, y=7 substitute it to the equation y=-4x+n, calculate "n":

7=-4*2+n ------>    7=-8+n ------->   7+8 = n -------> 15=n

substituting n=15 to the equation y=-4x+n, we get finally y=-4x+15

For a function p(x)= x^2-9, what is the inverse function for the domain [0, infinity\
kkurt [141]
An inverse function is a function that reverses another function, so we have a function called:

p(x)

Then, the inverse function will be as follows:

p^{-1}(x)

Given that y = p(x), we need to isolate x in terms of y:

y =  x^{2} -9
∴ y+9 = x^{2}

So:

x=+\sqrt{y+9} and x=-\sqrt{y+9}

therefore, exchanging variables x and y:

y=+\sqrt{x+9} and y=-\sqrt{x+9}
p^{-1}(x)=+\sqrt{x+9} and p^{-1}(x)=-\sqrt{x+9}

Which are the figures shown below.

What is a terminating decimal?
Arte-miy333 [17]
A terminating decimal has digits that end. They do not go on forever. For example, 0.125 has only 3 decimal digits and does not keep on going like 1/3



A rational number is a number that canbe expressed as p/q where p and q are both integers. But q cannot equal to 0.



All terminating decimals are rational numbers, but not all rational numbers are terminating decimals. For example 1/4, which equals to 0.25 is both a rational number and a terminating decimal. On the other hand, 1/3 is a rational number but is not a terminating decimal.
