Points (1, 7)  and  (-3, 2)

Slope for a line between (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂) , m = (y₂ -y₁) / (x₂- x₁)

The slope for the line joining the two points =  (2 - 7) / (-3 - 1) = -5/-4

Slope = 5/4

Hence the perpendicular bisector would have a slope of -1/(5/4) = -4/5

By condition of perpendicularity

For points (1, 7)  and  (-3, 2),

Formula for midpoints for (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂) is ((x₁ +x₂)/2 , (y₁+ y₂)/2)

Midpoint for (1, 7)  and  (-3, 2) = ((1+ -3)/2 , (7+2)/2) = (-2/2, 9/2)

= (-1, 9/2)

Since the slope of perpendicular bisector is -4/5 and passes through the midpoint (-1, 9/2)

Equation  y - y₁ = m (x - x₁)

                y - 9/2 = (-4/5) (x - -1)
           
                y - 9/2 = (-4/5)(x + 1)

               5(y - 9/2) = -4(x + 1)

               5y - 45/2 = -4x - 4

                 5y =  -4x - 4 + 45/2
           
                5y + 4x = 45/2 - 4

                  5y + 4x = 22  1/2  - 4 =  18 1/2

                  5y + 4x =  37/2

                  10y + 8x = 37

The equation of the line to perpendicular bisector is 10y + 8x = 37

Find the rectangular coordinates of the point ( -3, 1/2 π)
alexdok [17]

Answer:

x = -3 cos (\frac{\pi}{2})= 0

y = -3 sin (\frac{\pi}{2})= -3

And then the rectangular coordinates for this case are :

(x = 0 , y = -3)

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the following point given P = (-3, \frac{\pi}{2}) and we want to conver from polar to rectangular coordinates and we need to use the following formulas:

x = r cos \theta

y = r sin \theta

For this case we have that:

r = -3

And:

\theta = \frac{\pi}{2}

Replacing we got:

x = -3 cos (\frac{\pi}{2})= 0

y = -3 sin (\frac{\pi}{2})= -3

And then the rectangular coordinates for this case are :

(x = 0 , y = -3)

If f(x) = 3^2 + 1 and g(x) = 1 – x, what is the value of (f – g)(2)?
timurjin [86]

Answer:

(f - g)(2) = 11

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = 3² + 1

g(x) = 1 - x

(f - g)(2) = f(2) - g(2)

f(2) = 9 + 1 = 10

g(2) = 1 - 2 = -1

10 - (-1) = 10 + 1 = 11

(f - g)(2) = 11
