Answer:

y = 2x - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

y = - $\frac{1}{2}$ x - 4 ← is in slope- intercept form

with slope m = - $\frac{1}{2}$

Given a line with slope m then the slope of a line perpendicular to it is

$m_{perpendicular}$ = - $\frac{1}{m}$ = - $\frac{1}{-\frac{1}{2} }$ = 2, thus

y = 2x + c ← is the partial equation

To find c substitute (3, 3) into the partial equation

3 = 6 + c ⇒ c = 3 - 6 = - 3

y = 2x - 3 ← equation of perpendicular line

If x = a sin α, cos β, y = b sin α.sin β and z = c cos α then (x²/a²) + (y²/b²) + (z²/c²) = ?

Oduvanchick [21]

$\large\underline{\sf{Solution-}}$

Given:

$\rm \longmapsto x = a \sin \alpha \cos \beta$

$\rm \longmapsto y = b \sin \alpha \sin \beta$

$\rm \longmapsto z = c\cos \alpha$

Therefore:

$\rm \longmapsto \dfrac{x}{a} = \sin \alpha \cos \beta$

$\rm \longmapsto \dfrac{y}{b} = \sin \alpha \sin \beta$

$\rm \longmapsto \dfrac{z}{c} = \cos \alpha$

Now:

$\rm = \dfrac{ {x}^{2} }{ {a}^{2}} + \dfrac{ {y}^{2} }{ {b}^{2} } + \dfrac{ {z}^{2} }{ {c}^{2} }$

$\rm = { \sin}^{2} \alpha \cos^{2} \beta + { \sin}^{2} \alpha \sin^{2} \beta + { \cos}^{2} \alpha$

$\rm = { \sin}^{2} \alpha (\cos^{2} \beta + \sin^{2} \beta )+ { \cos}^{2} \alpha$

$\rm = { \sin}^{2} \alpha \cdot1+ { \cos}^{2} \alpha$

$\rm = { \sin}^{2} \alpha + { \cos}^{2} \alpha$

$\rm = 1$

Therefore:

$\rm \longmapsto\dfrac{ {x}^{2} }{ {a}^{2}} + \dfrac{ {y}^{2} }{ {b}^{2} } + \dfrac{ {z}^{2} }{ {c}^{2} } = 1$

lie is solving the quadratic equation by completing the square. 3x2 + 18x – 8 = 0 3x2 + 18x = 8 What should Lie do next?

ruslelena [56]

Divide 18 by 2(9) then square that (81). add 81 to both sides

What is the equation in vertex form of the quadratic function with a vertex at (-1, -4) that goes through (1, 8)?

cestrela7 [59]

Answer:

y = 3(x+1)^2 - 4

Step-by-step explanation:The general form of the equation of a quadratic function whose vertex is (h,k) and whose leading coefficient is a is:

y - k = a(x-h)^2, or

y = a(x-h)^2 - k

Substituting the coefficients of the vertex (-1, -4), we get:

y = a(x + 1)^2 - 4

Substituting the coordinates of the given point, (1,8), we get:

8 = a(1+1)^2 - 4, which simplifies to:

8 = a(2)^2 - 4, or

8 = 4a - 4. Then 4a = 12, and a = 3.

Thus, the desired equation is y = 3(x+1)^2 - 4 (answer j).
