The point nearest to the origin on a line is at (4, -4). Find the standard form of the equation of the line.

Just did a specific one of these; let's do the general case.


The point nearest the origin is (a,b).


The line from the origin through the point is


bx - ay = 0


The line we seek is perpendicular to this one. We swap the coefficients on x and y, negating one, to get the perpendicular family of lines. We set the constant by plugging in the point (a,b):


ax + by = a^2 + b^2


ax + by -( a^2 + b^2) = 0


That's standard form; let's plug in the numbers:


4 x - 4 y - 32 = 0


x - y - 8 = 0

In an experiment, every hour 20% of the total number of bacteria die, and those remaining bacteria
Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

Hi there!

Your answer is;

There are 50 bacteria after 3 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

After three hours, with a rate of 20% an hour, 60% should have died

20% of 125 is?

100% is 125

/100

1% is 1.25

×60

60% is 75

125-75= 50

Hope this helps

Can you solve this? I need help. I don't understand.
ZanzabumX [31]

Answer:

2 sqrt(5) OR 4.5

Step-by-step explanation:

You have to know Pythagorean theorem to solve this question.

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

To use this theorem you have to have a right triangle. There are two right triangles in your image. The lower (larger) one has two sides labeled, so you can use Pythagorean thm to find the third side. There's a short cut, bc some right triangles have easy-to-memorize lengths of the sides. 3-4-5 is one of these number sets. A multiple of this is 6-8-10. We could've solved:

b^2 + 8^2 = 10^2

But it would've come out the same. The unlabeled side is 6.

We can use the 6 and the 4 on the smaller right triangle and use the Pythagorean thm again to solve for x.

4^2 + x^2 = 6^2

16 + x^2 = 36 subtract 16 from both sides.

x^2 = 20

Take the square root of both sides.

sqrt (x^2) = sqrt 20

x = 2 sqrt(5) which is approximately 4.472.

2 sqrt(5) is an exact answer if that is what they are asking for. 4.472 is an approximation to the nearest thousandth. It would be 4.47 to the nearest hundredth or 4.5 to the nearest tenth.

If three times a number minus 2 equals 13, what is the number?
Nana76 [90]
Change the messy words into numerals
3     times          a number         minus            2           equals         13
3          ×                n                     -                 2               =               13

3n - 2 = 13
take 2 to the other side
3n - 2 + (2)  = 13 + (2)
3n = 15

Divide by 3 on either sides to isolate n
\frac{3n}{3} = \frac{15}{3}
3 and 3 cancels out

n = 5

check:
3 times 5 minus 2 equals 13
3     ×    5       -      2     =     13
15    -      2        =          13
13            =               13

The number is 5
