What is the equation, in slope-intercept form, of the line that is perpendicular to the line

Mathematics
1 answer:
Len [333]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

y = x - 1 (third answer choice)

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given we see immediately that the slope of this line is -1.  The slope of a line perpendicular to this one is +1, which is the negative reciprocal of -1.  The slope-intercept form is y = mx + b.  To find b, the y-intercept, we make the following substitutions:  m = -1, y = -2, x = -2:

-2 = +1(-2) + b, or +1 = 2 + b, or b = -1

and so the desired equation is y = x - 1 (third answer choice)

A company’s profit in dollars is modeled by the equation p(x) = –0.5x2 + 100x, where x represents the number of units sold.
serg [7]

Answers:

a. The company needs to sell 100 units to reach the maxmum profit.

b. The company's maximum profit is $5,000.

Solution:

a. How many unit does the company need to sell to reach the maximum profit?

p(x)=-0.5x^2+100x

This is a quadratic equation, and its graph is a parabola vertical (because the veriable "x" is square). Comparing with the general form:

p(x)=ax^2+bx+c; a=-0.5, b=100, c=0

a=-0.5<0 (negative), then the parabola opens downward, and it has a maximimun value (maximum profit) at its vertex.

We can find the abscissa of the vertex (units that the company needs to sell to reach the maximum profit using the following formula:

x=-b/(2a)

Replacing b by 100 and a by -0.5 in the formula above:

x=-100/[2(-0.5)]

x=-100/(-1)

x=100

The company needs to sell 100 units to reach the maximum profit.


b. What's the company's maximum profit?  

To determine the maximum profit we substitute the value of "x" obrained in part "a" in the quadratic equation:

x=100→p(100)=-0.5(100)^2+100(100)

p(100)=-0.5(10,000)+10,000

p(100)=-5,000+10,000

p(100)=5,000

The company's maximum profit is $5,000.

A club began with 3 members. Each month, each member brought one new member. Which function can be used to determine the number
erastova [34]

In x th month, members =  3^{2x}. Option D.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Initially number of members = 3

Every month each member brought 1 new member.

To find the number of members after x months.

<u>Solution:</u>

In 1st month, members = 3

In 2nd month, members = 3×3 = 9 = 3²

In 3rd month, members = 9×9 = 81 = 3^{4}

In 4th month, members = 81×81 = 81 = 6561 = 3^{8}

Hence,

In x th month, members =  3^{2x}

The three inside angles (A,B and C) of a right-angled triangle are in the ratio 7:18:11. Th smallest angle is 35. Work out angle
lions [1.4K]

Answer:

<A = 35degrees

<B =90degrees

<C = 55degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the ratios of a triangle as 7:18:11

Total ratio = 7+18+11

Total ratio = 36

Since the smallest angle is 35degrees, hence <A = 35degrees

Get angle B;

<B = 18/36 * 180 (sum of angle in a triangle is 180degrees)

<B = 1/2 * 180

<B = 90degrees

Get angle C;

<C = 11/36 * 180

<C = 11 * 5

<C = 55degrees

Hence the value of A, B and C are 35, 90 and 55 degrees repectively
