Find the equation of the line that is perpendicular to y = two over three x and contains the point (four,-eight)

When it is perpendicular, the slope is the negative reciprocal so it would equal -3/2x. Plug in the points to the equation so you can find the intercept. -8=-3/2(4)+b
Combine: -8=-6+b
Add 6: -2=b
The equation would be f(x)=-3/2x-2
Hope this helped and sorry if I am wrong!

If f(x)=x^3−x, what is the average rate of change of f(x) over the interval [1, 5]? a)29.5 b)30 c)43 d)120

$\bf slope = m = \cfrac{rise}{run} \implies 
\cfrac{ f(x_2) - f(x_1)}{ x_2 - x_1}\impliedby 
\begin{array}{llll}
average~rate\\

\end{array}\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\
f(x)= x^3-x \qquad 
\begin{cases}
x_1=1\\
x_2=5
\end{cases}\implies \cfrac{f(5)-f(1)}{5-1}
\\\\\\
\cfrac{[5^3-5]~-~[1^3-1]}{4}\implies \cfrac{125-5~~-~~0}{4}\implies \cfrac{120}{4}\implies 30$

WITH PICTURE!!3. What is the value of x in the regular polygon below? (3 points)

monitta

Answer: FIRST OPTION.

Step-by-step explanation:

Regular polygons are those polygons whose sides are equal in length and whose angles are all equal.

By definition each interior angle of a Regular polygon,is:

$\frac{180 ( n -2 )}{n}$ (In degrees)

Where "n" is the number of sides of the polygon.

Observe the Regular polygon given in the exercise.

Since it has 6 sides, you can conclude that it is an Hexagon. Then:

$n=6$

Substituting into $\frac{180 ( n -2 )}{n}$ and evaluating, you get:

$\frac{180 ( 6 -2 )}{6}=120\°$

Knowing this, you can write the following equation:

$3x=120$

Finally, you must solve for "x" in order to find its value. This is:

$x=\frac{120}{3}\\\\x=40$

What is the original price if there is a 45% discount and the sale price is $550?

Svetradugi [14.3K]

Original price×(1-discount price)=new price or sale price so

Put x in original price...x(1-45/100)=550

So the original price is 1000
