[1] The median to the base passes through the top point (0,b) and the bottom point (0,0) since it is going straight down. The slope formula is
\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}
So, the slope of the median is (b-0)/(0-0) = b/0. Technically, this is undefined, but let's leave it this way for now.

[2] The base passes through the left point (-a,0) and the right point (a,0). Its slope must be (0-0)/(a-(-a)) = 0.

[3] We now check if the slopes are negative reciprocals. Flipping b/0 over and putting a negative sign gives:
b/0 -> - 0/b = 0
So the slopes are negative reciprocals, which means the lines are perpendicular.

The sum of two numbers is 36. The first number is 1/5 of the second number. what are the numbers?
vfiekz [6]
Lets put this into an equation
x + 1/5 * x = 36
1.2x  = 36
x       = 30
1/5x = 6
So our final answer is 6 and 30.

What is the equation of the quadratic function represented by this table ??HELP PLEASE GRADUATION IS JUNE FIRST
miss Akunina [59]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  -3, 7, 8

Step-by-step explanation:

You can fill in the boxes from the table values as shown in the attachment.

The leading coefficient is negative because the parabola opens downward. The value of it is the change in y-value as x changes by 1 unit either side of the vertex.

The vertex is identified by the fact that the y-values are symmetrical either side of the vertex.

Consider the triangle.<br> 45°<br> 80°<br> Find the measure of the unknown third angle.
Elina [12.6K]

Answer:

55 \degree

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the unknown angle be x

As the interior angles in a triangle are added up to 180°

x + 45 + 80 = 180 \\ x + 125 = 180 \\ x = 180 - 125 \\ x = 55 \degree

Hope this helps you.

Let me know if you have any other questions:-)
