Answer:

A. Skew lines cannot lie in the same plane.

Step-by-step explanation:

(*Which)

Skew Line Definition (from Wikipedia): <em>"In three-dimensional geometry, skew lines are two lines that do not intersect and are not parallel." </em>-Wikipedia

<em>"Two lines that both lie in the same plane must either cross each other or be parallel, so skew lines can exist only in three or more dimensions."</em> -Wikipedia

Skew lines cannot lie in the same plane so A is correct and C is incorrect.

B and D are incorrect because our friend Wikipedia just said it was incorrect.

Solve for x , 2x-11 -9+ x

romanna [79]

2x - 11
-9 + x
equate the equations
2x - 11 = -9 + x
bring like terms to one side
2x - 11 = -9 + x
- x +11 +11 - x
-11 and +11 cancels out
+x and -x cancels out
2x - x = 11 - 9
x = 2

A rectangle has a perimeter of 32 in. find the length and width of the rectangle under which the area is the largest. follow the

Dafna1 [17]

Let width and length be x and y respectively.
Perimeter (32in) =2x+2y=> 16=x+y => y=16-x
Area, A = xy = x(16-x) = 16x-x^2
The function to maximize is area: A=16 x-x^2
For maximum area, the first derivative of A =0 => A'=16-2x =0
Solving for x: 16-2x=0 =>2x=16 => x=8 in
And therefore, y=16-8 = 8 in

Find the slope and reduce of p=(3/4,1 1/4) q=(-1/2,-1)

sergij07 [2.7K]

$\bf \begin{array}{lllll}
&x_1&y_1&x_2&y_2\\
% (a,b)
p&({{ \frac{3}{4}}}\quad ,&{{ \frac{1}{4}}})\quad 
% (c,d)
q&({{ -\frac{1}{2}}}\quad ,&{{ -1}})
\end{array}$

$\bf slope = {{ m}}= \cfrac{rise}{run} \implies 
\cfrac{{{ y_2}}-{{ y_1}}}{{{ x_2}}-{{ x_1}}}\implies \cfrac{-1-\frac{1}{4}}{-\frac{1}{2}-\frac{3}{4}}\quad \cfrac{\leftarrow LCD=4}{\leftarrow LCD=4}
\\\\\\
\cfrac{\frac{-4-1}{4}}{\frac{-2\cdot 1-3}{4}}\implies \cfrac{\frac{-5}{4}}{\frac{-5}{4}}\implies \cfrac{-5}{4}\cdot \cfrac{4}{-5}\implies 1$

$\frac{y\ miles}{x\ minutes}=\frac{4\ miles}{28\ minutes}\ \ |cross\ multiply\\\\28y=4x\ \ \ \ |divide\ both\ sides\ by\ 28\\\\\boxed{y=\frac{4}{28}x\Rightarrow y=\frac{1}{7}x}$
