Describe and correct the error the student made when writing the equation of the line that passes through (-8,5)

pshichka [43]

Option D (The student should have used as the slope of the perpendicular line.) is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to identify the error that the student made in finding equation of the line that passes through (-8,5) and is perpendicular to y = 4x + 2

The slope of the required line would me -1/m because both lines are perpendicular.

So, slope of new line will be: -1/4

because the equation of slope-intercept form is: $y=mx+b$ where m is the slope

Now, for finding equation the student used point slope form i.e $y-y_1=m(x-x_1)$

where y_1 and x_1 are the points and m is the slope.

Putting values:

x_1=-8, y_1=5 and m=-1/4

$y-5=-\frac{1}{4}(x-(-8))\\y-5=-\frac{1}{4}(x+8)\\y-5=-\frac{1x}{4}-2\\y=-\frac{1x}{4}-2+5\\y=-\frac{1x}{4}+3$

This is the correct solution.

The student made error by using the wrong slope he used 2 instead of -1/4

in the step $y-5 = 2(x-(-8))$

So, Option D (The student should have used as the slope of the perpendicular line.) is correct.

A company manufactures handband a wirleless

PIT_PIT [208]

Answer:

1. 21 represents the cost of manufacturing one handband.

3. The initial start up cost is $15000.

5. The company spends $57000 to manufacture 2000 handbands.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the cost function for manufacturing 'h' amount of handbands and it is provided that there was initial start up costs involved.

Now, as the cost function is given by, C(h) = 21h + 15000.

We can see that the initial start up cost is $15000.

As, 'h' is the number of handbands being made. So, 21h in C(h) is the cost of manufacturing 'h' handbands.

Therefore, 21 is the cost of manufacturing one handband.

Since, C(h) = 21h + 15000.

Substituting h = 2000, we get,

C(2000) = 21×2000 + 15000.

i.e. C(2000) = 42000 + 15000.

i.e. C(2000) = 57000.

The company spends $57000 to manufacture 2000 handbands.

Since, we are provided with only cost function, we can not talk about the profit.

Hence, option 1, 3 and 5 are correct.
