Answer:

<h3>The answer is option C</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation of a line is y = mx + c

where

m is the slope

c is the y intercept

From the question

y = - 1/2x + 5

Comparing with the general equation above

Slope / m = -1/2

Since the lines are perpendicular to each other the slope of the other line is the negative inverse of the original line

That's

Slope of the perpendicular line = 2

Equation of the line using point (–1, –2) and slope 2 is

y + 2 = 2( x + 1)

y + 2 = 2x + 2

y = 2x + 2 - 2

We have the final answer as

<h3>y = 2x</h3>

Hope this helps you

Well, I bet you want your answer right away! So here it is.


<span>Given <span>f (x) = 3x + 2</span> and <span>g(x) = 4 – 5x</span>, find <span>(f + g)(x), (f – g)(x), (f × g)(x)</span>, and <span>(f / g)(x)</span>.</span>

To find the answers, all I have to do is apply the operations (plus, minus, times, and divide) that they tell me to, in the order that they tell me to.

(f + g)(x) = f (x) + g(x)

= [3x + 2] + [4 – 5x]

= 3x + 2 + 4 – 5x

= 3x – 5x + 2 + 4

= –2x + 6

(f – g)(x) = f (x) – g(x)

= [3x + 2] – [4 – 5x]

= 3x + 2 – 4 + 5x

= 3x + 5x + 2 – 4

= 8x – 2

(f  × g)(x) = [f (x)][g(x)]

= (3x + 2)(4 – 5x)

= 12x + 8 – 15x2 – 10x

= –15x2 + 2x + 8

<span>\left(\small{\dfrac{f}{g}}\right)(x) = \small{\dfrac{f(x)}{g(x)}}<span><span>(<span><span>​g</span>​<span>​f</span><span>​​</span></span>)</span>(x)=<span><span>​<span>g(x)</span></span>​<span>​<span>f(x)</span></span><span>​​</span></span></span></span><span>= \small{\dfrac{3x+2}{4-5x}}<span>=<span><span>​<span>4−5x</span></span>​<span>​<span>3x+2</span></span><span>​​</span></span></span></span>

My answer is the neat listing of each of my results, clearly labelled as to which is which.

( f + g ) (x) = –2x + 6

( f – g ) (x) = 8x – 2

( f  × g ) (x) = –15x2 + 2x + 8

<span>\mathbf{\color{purple}{ \left(\small{\dfrac{\mathit{f}}{\mathit{g}}}\right)(\mathit{x}) = \small{\dfrac{3\mathit{x} + 2}{4 - 5\mathit{x}}} }}<span><span>(<span><span>​g</span>​<span>​f</span><span>​​</span></span>)</span>(x)=<span><span>​<span>4−5x</span></span>​<span>​<span>3x+2</span></span><span>​​


Hope I helped! :) If I did not help that's okay.

Answer:

  • x = 12
  • ∠H = 94°

Step-by-step explanation:

The marked angles are supplementary, so ...

  (5x +26)° +(8x -2)° = 180°

  13x = 156 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by °, subtract 24

  x = 12 . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 13

  ∠H = (8x -2)° = (8·12 -2)°

  ∠H = 94°
