The equation of line perpendicular to x-2y=-16 passing through (9,8) is: y=-2x+26

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$x-2y=-16\\Adding\ 2y\ on\ both\ sides\\x=2y-16\\Adding\ 16\ on\ both\ sides\\x+16=2y-16+16\\x+16=2y\\2y=x+16\\Dividing\ both\ sides\ by\ 2\\\frac{2y}{2}=\frac{x+16}{2}\\y=\frac{x}{2}+\frac{16}{2}\\y=\frac{1}{2}x+8\\$

The equation is in slope-intercept form, the coefficient of x will be the slope of given line. The slope is: 1/2

As the product of slopes of two perpendicular lines is -1.

$\frac{1}{2}*m=-1\\m=-1*\frac{2}{1}\\m=-2$

Slope intercept form is:

$y=mx+b$

Putting the value of slope

y=-2x+b

To find the value of b, putting (9,8) in the equation

$8=-2(9)+b\\8=-18+b\\b=8+18\\b=26$

Putting the values of b and m

$y=-2x+26$

Hence,

The equation of line perpendicular to x-2y=-16 passing through (9,8) is: y=-2x+26

The function f(x) = −x^2 − 5x + 50 shows the relationship between the vertical distance of a diver from a pool's surface f(x), i

pychu [463]

Set the function to equal zero:

$-x^2 - 5x + 50 = 0$

To find the zeros, or solutions, to this problem, we will use the quadratic formula:

$x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$

Plug the values into the equation:

$a = -1, b = -5, c = 50$

$x=\frac{5\pm\sqrt{-5^2-4(-1)(50)}}{2(-1)}$

$x=\frac{5\pm\sqrt{25+200}}{-2}$

$x=\frac{5\pm15}{-2}$

Solve for both plus and minus:

$\frac{5 + 15}{-2} = \frac{20}{-2} = -10$

$\frac{5 - 15}{-2} = \frac{-10}{-2} = 5$

$x = -10, x = 5$

The question cannot use a negative value for x, as the diver cannot dive a negative distance from the board.

The answer is '<span>x = 5; the diver hits the water 5 feet away horizontally from the board', because x represents the horizontal distance away from the board.</span>

A bag contains 6 red marbles, 6 purple marbles, and 6 yellow marbles. What is the probability of randomly selecting a yellow mar

Delicious77 [7]

Answer:

C)1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

So there are 18 marbles in all.So the denominator should we eighteen unless we can simplify it.There are 6 yellow marbles,so the numerator can be 6 unless simplified.In this case,the fraction is 6/18.We can simplify it.The GCF(greatest common denominator) is 6.That makes it 1/3.
