Step-by-step explanation:

A and B are alternate angles , thus :

A = B

8x + 78⁰ = 2x + 114⁰

6x = 36

x = 6

B = 2(6) + 114 = 126⁰

Answer:

x= 6 and b= 126°

Step-by-step explanation:

okay the first step to solving this is understanding what are the properties of ∠A and ∠B.

so the angles are equal to each other because they are alternate interior angles.

if that is settled it means the equation for both angles would be equal to each other as well.

∠A= 8x + 78° ∠B= 2x + 114°

therefore: 8x + 78= 2x + 114

then solve for x:

isolate x and the answer is equal to 6 at the end

now you are looking for angle b, so you input x which is 6 into the equation;

∠B= 2x + 114°

= 2(6) + 114°

=12 + 114°

=126°

If the graph is reflected across the y-axis, what will be the equation of the new graph?

Bumek [7]

Answer:

$\displaystyle b)y = { 3}^{ - x} + 1$

Step-by-step explanation:

we are given a exponential function

$\displaystyle y = {3}^{x} + 1$

we want to figure out the equation of the new graph reflected across the y-axis

remember that,

$\rm\displaystyle (x,y) \xrightarrow{ \text{ reflection over y - axis}}( - x,y)$

let y be $3^x+1$ so,

$\rm\displaystyle (x,y) \xrightarrow{ \text{ reflection over y - axis}}( - x, {3}^{ - x} + 1 )$

hence,

the equation of the new graph

$\displaystyle y = { 3}^{ - x} + 1$

What is the definition of y=mx+b

Brut [27]

Answer:

In the equation of a straight line (when the equation is written as "y = mx + b"), the slope is the number "m" that is multiplied on the x, and "b" is the y-intercept (that is, the point where the line crosses the vertical y-axis).

Someone please help me

Answer:

8. Louis

9. Rose; Raymond

Step-by-step explanation:

8. An exponent represents the number of times the base appears as a factor in the product.

We use a coefficient to signify repeated addition: 3x means x+x+x.

We use an exponent to signify repeated multiplication. x³ means x·x·x.

So, the expression ...

$4^2\cdot 4^5\text{ means }(4\cdot4)\cdot(4\cdot4\cdot4\cdot4\cdot4)$

You can see that the factor 4 appears 7 times in the product, so would be represented in exponential form as ...

$4^2\cdot4^5=\boxed{4^7}$

Louis has correctly observed this fact. In general, we see that multiplying powers of the same base causes those powers to be added.

Part A. Rose is correct for the same reason as in problem 8.

5^5 · 5^2 = 5^(5+2) = 5^7

Part B. Raymond is correct. We know that division cancels similar terms from the numerator, so ...

$\dfrac{7^9}{7^5}=\dfrac{7\cdot7\cdot7\cdot7\cdot7\cdot7\cdot7\cdot7\cdot7}{7\cdot7\cdot7\cdot7\cdot7}=7\cdot7\cdot7\cdot7=7^{9-5}=7^4$

The rules of exponents we're using here are ...

(a^b)(a^c) = a^(b+c)

(a^b)/(a^c) = a^(b-c)

The vertices of triangle are A(-2 , 1 ) , B ( 2 , 2 ) and C ( 6 , -2 ) . Find the equation of the altitude of AD drawn from A to

krok68 [10]

Answer:

Given,

ABC is triangle with vertices A(-2,1), B(2,2) and C(6, -2)

Slope of BC(m_1) = $\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}=\frac{6-2}{-2-2}$

$=\frac{4}{-4}=-1$

Since AD is perpendicular to BC

let slope of BC be ( $m_2$ ).

We have for perpendicular

$m_1*m_2=-1$

$-1*m_2=-1$

$m_2=1$

Now equation of line passing through point A(-2,1) is

$y-y_1=m_2(x-x_1)$

y-1=1(x-(-2))

y-1=x+2

y=x+2+1

y=x+3 which is a required equation of the altitude of AD drawn from A to BC.

PLEASE Find the equation of the line............................perpendicular to the line y= 5x -1 and passes through the points

dimaraw [331]

Since it's perpendicular to the line with the slope 5, you take the reciprocal of 5 which is 1/5 and change the sign: -1/5. So you have the equation: y=-(1/5)+b. To find b you substitute x and y for the coordinate (10,8).
y=(-1/5)x+b
8=(-1/5)10+b
8=(-10/5)+b
8=-2+b
+2 +2
10=b

So your new equation is: y=1x+10
