In my carpenter shop I make 3 legged stools and 4 legged chairs. I looked at my days output and counted 55 legs and 16 seats. Ho

w many stools and how many chairs did I complete that day.

1 answer:

7 0

$x-number\ of\ stools\\y-number\ of\ chairs\\\\ \left \{ {{y+x=16} \atop {3x+4y=55}} \right. \\\\From\ first\ equation:\\\\y=16-x\\\\Substract\ to\ second\ equation:\\\\3x+4(16-x)=55\\3x+64-4x=55\\3x-4x=55-64\\-x=-9\\x=9\\\\y=16-9=7\\\\ \left \{ {{y=7} \atop {x=9}} \right.$

what is perpendicular to y= 3x -9 and passes through the point (3,1)

GREYUIT [131]

$(3,1) , \ \ y= 3x -9 \\ \\ The \ slope \ is :m _{1} =3 \\ \\ If \ m_{1} \ and \ m _{2} \ are \ the \ gradients \ of \ two \ perpendicular \\ \\ lines \ we \ have \ m _{1} \cdot m _{2} = -1 \\ \\3\cdot m_{2}=-1 \ \ /:3\\ \\ m_{2}=-\frac{1}{3}$

$\Now \ your \ equation \ of \ line \ passing \ through \ (3,1) would \ be: \\ \\ y=m_{2}x+b \\ \\1=-\frac{1}{ 3} \cdot3 + b$

$1=-1+b\\ \\ b=1+1\\ \\b=2 \\ \\ y =- \frac{1}{3}x+2$
