Answer:

y = 3x-5

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of the line on the graph is -1/3. Perpendicular lines have slopes which are negative reciprocals of each other. This makes the slope of the new line 3.

Substitute the values m=3 and the point (3,4) into point slope form and simplify.

y - 4 = 3(x - 3)

y - 4 = 3x - 9

y = 3x -9 + 4

y = 3x - 5

A piece of wire of length L will be cut into two pieces, one piece to form a square and the other piece to form an equilateral t

inn [45]

Answer:

(a) square: L; triangle: 0.

(b) square: L·(-16+12√3)/11; triangle: L·(27-12√3)/11

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Strategy</u>: First we will write each area in terms of its perimeter. Then we will find the total area in terms of the amount devoted to the square. Differentiating will give a way to find the minimum total area.

In terms of its perimeter p, the area of a square is ...

A_square = p^2/16

In terms of its perimeter p, the area of an equilateral triangle is ...

A_triangle = p^2/(12√3)

Then the total area of the two figures whose total perimeter is L with "x" devoted to the square is ...

A_total = x^2/16 + (L-x)^2/(12√3)

(a) We know when polygons are regular, the one with the most area for the least perimeter is the one with the most sides. Hence, the total area is maximized when all of the wire is devoted to the square.

(b) The derivative of A_total with respect to x is ...

dA/dx = x/8 -(L-x)/(6√3)

This will be zero when ...

x/8 = (L-x)/(6√3)

x(6√3) = 8L -8x

x(8 +6√3) = 8L

x = L·8/(6√3 +8) = 8L(6√3 -8)/(64-108)

x = L·(12√3 -16)/11

The total area is minimized when L·(12√3 -16)/11 is devoted to the square, and the balance is devoted to the triangle.

In decimal form, to the nearest tenth, what is the probability that a randomly selected Riverside High School student is in twel

Lunna [17]

We have that the total students there are 500. The 12-graders there are 200. Probability is defined as the ratio of positive outcomes of an event, over all the possible outcomes. Suppose we pick student randomly. Then, there are 200 positive outcomes (positive outcome: we pick a student in 12th grade) and there are totally 500 outcomes (we can pick 500 students in total from Riverside High School). This ratio gives: $P= \frac{200}{500} =0.4$ . The requested probability is 0.40
