Question-

What is the equation of a line that passes through the point (6,-8) and is perpendicular to the line whose equation is Y=2/3 x+3

Answer-

y = x/2 + 3......x/2 is the same as 1/2x....so u have a slope of 1/2.

A perpendicular line will have a negative reciprocal slope. To find the negative reciprocal, flip the slope and change the sign. So we have 1/2....and we flip it making it 2/1....and we change the sign making it -2/1 or just -2. So ur perpendicular line will have a slope of -2.

y = mx + b

slope(m) = -2

(1,8)...x = 1 and y = 8

now we sub and find b, the y int

8 = -2(1) + b

8 = -2 + b

8 + 2 = b

10 = b

so ur perpendicular equation is : y = -2x + 10 <==

Hope i helped have a wonderful day...

Evaluate cos0 if sin0= sqrt(5)/3 a. 9/5 b. 2/3 c. 5/9 d. 3/2

Evgesh-ka [11]

Solution given:

$\sin( \alpha ) = \frac{\sqrt{5} }{3}$

P=√5

h=3

b= $\sqrt{3 {}^{2} - \sqrt{5} {}^{2} }$

b=2

$\cos( \alpha ) = \frac{b}{h} = \frac{2}{3}$

Note

$\alpha = 0$

b:⅔

Factor completely. Remember to look first for a common factor. If a polynomial is prime, state this.

Yakvenalex [24]

This one is prime. The sum of two squares doesn't factor.

The more interesting case is q^2-1, which factors into (q-1)(q+1).

I would say it would look something like this: 3k - 3 = g? That would be my best guess. I hope I helped & I'm so sorry if I'm wrong!

Which logaritnmic equation equivalent to the exponential equation below 5c=125

nataly862011 [7]

I assume you meant to write 5^c = 125. The equivalent logarithmic expression for this would be ㏒₅125=c.

The most recent census for a city indicated that there were 919,716 residents. The population of the city is expected to increas

OLEGan [10]

Answer:

1,474,951.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given a population that increases by a constant percentage, we can model the population's growth using the exponential model.

$P(t)=P_o(1+r)^t,$ where \left\{\begin{array}{lll}P_o=$Initial Population\\r$=Growth rate\\$t=time (in years)\end{array}\right\\P_o=919,716\\r=3.7\%=0.037\\$t=13 years$

Therefore, the population of the city in 13 years time will be:

$P(t)=919,716(1+0.037)^{13}\\\\=919,716(1.037)^{13}\\\\=1,474,950.9\\\\\approx 1,474,951$

The population be at that time will be approximately 1,474,951.
