Answer:

Option 3 - $y=-6x+28$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Perpendicular to the line $x - 6y = 8$ ; containing the point (4,4).

To Find : An equation for the line with the given properties ?

Solution :

We know that,

When two lines are perpendicular then slope of one equation is negative reciprocal of another equation.

Slope of the equation $x - 6y = 8$

Converting into slope form $y=mx+c$ ,

Where m is the slope.

$y=\frac{x-8}{6}$

$y=\frac{x}{6}-\frac{8}{6}$

The slope of the equation is $m=\frac{1}{6}$

The slope of the perpendicular equation is $m_1=-\frac{1}{m}$

The required slope is $m_1=-\frac{1}{\frac{1}{6}}$

$m_1=-6$

The required equation is $y=-6x+c$

Substitute point (x,y)=(4,4)

$4=-6(4)+c$

$4=-24+c$

$c=28$

Substitute back in equation,

$y=-6x+28$

Therefore, The required equation for the line is $y=-6x+28$

So, Option 3 is correct.

somebody help pls Complete the table by filling in the multiplicative inverse of the numbers below 2,1/5,-4,

Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:

Suppose we have a random number A.

The multiplicative inverse of A is a number X such that:

A*X = 1

When we work with real numbers, X = 1/A

Then:

A*(1/A) = A/A = 1

This means that (1/A) is the multiplicative inverse of A.

Where we need to have A ≠ 0, because we can not divide by 0.

Now we want to find the multiplicative inverse of the numbers:

2: Here the inverse is (1/2) = 0.5

1/5: Here the inverse is (1/(1/5)) = (5/1) = 5

-4: Herre the inverse is (1/(-4)) = -(1/4) = -0.25

Which polynomial can be simplified to a difference of squares

Mrrafil [7]

<h2>Hello!</h2>

The answer is:

The polynomial that can be simplified to a difference of squares is the second polynomial:

$16a^{2}-4a+4a-1=16a^{2}=(4a)^{2}-(1)^{2}=(4-1)(4+1)$

<h2>Why?</h2>

To solve this problem, we need to look for which of the given quadratic terms given for the different polynomials can be a result of squaring (elevating by two).

So,

Discarding, we have:

The quadratic terms of the given polynomials are:

$First=10a^{2}$

$Second=16a^{2}$

$Third=25a^{2}$

$Fourth=24a^{2}$

We have that the coefficients of the quadratic terms that can be obtained by squaring are:

$16a^{2} =(4a)^{2} \\\\25a^{2} =(5a)^{2}$

The other two coefficients are not perfect squares since they can not be obtained by square rooting whole numbers.

So, the first and the fourth polynomial are discarded and cannot be simplified to a difference of squares at least using whole numbers.

Therefore, we need to work with the second and the third polynomial.

For the second polynomial, we have:

$16a^{2} -4a+4a-1=16a^{2}=(4a)^{2}-(1)^{2} =(4-1)(4+1)$

So, the second polynomial can be simplified to a difference of squares.

For the third polynomial, we have:

$25a^{2} +6a-6a+36=16a^{2}+36=(5a)^{2}+(6)^{2}$

So, the third polynomial cannot be simplified to a difference of squares since it's a sum of squares.

Hence, the polynomial that can be simplified to a difference of squares is the second polynomial:

$16a^{2}-4a+4a-1=16a^{2}=(4a)^{2}-(1)^{2}$
