What is the equation of a line that is perpendicular to -x+2y=4 and passes through the point (-2,1)?

-x + 2y = 4
2y = x + 4
y = 1/2x + 2.....slope here is 1/2. A perpendicular line will have a negative reciprocal slope. All that means is " flip " the slope and change the sign. So the slope we need is -2 (see how I flipped the slope and changed the sign)

y = mx + b
slope(m) = -2
(-2,1)...x = -2 and y = 1
now we sub and solve for b, the y int
1 = -2(-2) + b
1 = 4 + b
1 - 4 = b
-3 = b

so ur perpendicular line is : y = -2x - 3

If N is the population of the colony and t is the time in​ days, express N as a function of t. Consider Upper N 0 is the origina
lesya [120]

Answer:

(a)N(t)=Noe^{kt}

(b)5,832 Mosquitoes

(c)5 days

Step-by-step explanation:

(a)Given an original amount N_o at t=0. The population of the colony with a growth rate k \neq 0, where k is a constant is given as:

N(t)=Noe^{kt}

(b)If N_o=1000 and the population after 1 day, N(1)=1800

Then, from our model:

N(1)=1800

1800=1000e^{k}\\$Divide both sides by 1000\\e^{k}=1.8\\$Take the natural logarithm of both sides\\k=ln(1.8)

Therefore, our model is:

N(t)=1000e^{t*ln(1.8)}\\N(t)=1000\cdot1.8^t

In 3 days time

N(3)=1000\cdot1.8^3=5832

The population of mosquitoes in 3 days time will be approximately 5832.

(c)If the population N(t)=20,000,we want to determine how many days it takes to attain that value.

From our model

N(t)=1000\cdot1.8^t\\20000=1000\cdot1.8^t\\$Divide both sides by 1000\\20=1.8^t\\$Convert to logarithm form\\Log_{1.8}20=t\\\frac{Log 20}{Log 1.8}=t\\ t=5.097\approx 5\; days

In approximately 5 days, the population of mosquitoes will be 20,000.

A gear with a diameter of 12.0 inches makes 35 revolutions every three minutes. Find the linear and angular velocities of a poin
alina1380 [7]

Answer:

Angular velocity: \omega = \frac{7\pi}{18} \,\frac{rad}{s} (1.222\,\frac{rad}{s})

Linear velocity: v = \frac{14\pi}{3}\,\frac{m}{s} (14.661\,\frac{m}{s})

Step-by-step explanation:

The gear experiments a pure rotation with axis passing through its center, the angular (\omega), in radians per second, and linear velocities (v), in inches per second, of a point on the outer edge of the element are, respectively:

\omega = \frac{2\pi}{60}\cdot \dot n (1)

v = R\cdot \omega (2)

Where:

\dot n - Rotation rate, in revolutions per minute.

R - Radius of the gear, in inches.

If we know that \dot n = \frac{35}{3}\,\frac{rev}{min} and R = 12\,in, then the linear and angular velocities of the gear are, respectively:

\omega = \frac{2\pi}{60}\cdot \dot n

\omega = \frac{7\pi}{18} \,\frac{rad}{s} (1.222\,\frac{rad}{s})

v = R\cdot \omega

v = \frac{14\pi}{3}\,\frac{m}{s} (14.661\,\frac{m}{s})
