The gradient of the perpendicular line would be the negative reciprocal of the original line. Therefore the gradient of the perpendicular line would be -2/5x.
Since we know y=mx+c, ∴y=-2/5x+c. Sub in the x and y values of the given point and we get that c=26/5.

The perpendicular equation would be y=-2/5x+26/5.
I hope I got this right.

Comparing equation y-4 = 5/2(x+3) with slope-point form y-y1=m(x-x1), slope of given line is 5/2. Let m' be the slope of required line. product of the slope of perpendicular lines is equal to -1. Therefore, mxm' = -1. m' = -2/5. Using slope-point form to find the equation of required line, y-y1 = m(x-x1) . y-8 = -2/5(x-(-7)). y-8 = -2/5(x+7).

The terminal velocity of a person falling through air is about 100Km/hr. The acceleration due to gravity is 10ms−2. Use this inf
Aleonysh [2.5K]

The question here is how long does it take for a falling person to reach the 90% of this terminal velocity. The computation is:

The terminal velocity vt fulfills v'=0. Therefore vt=g/c, and so c=g/vt = 10/(100*1000/3600) = 36,000/100,000... /s. Incorporating the differential equation shows that the time needed to reach velocity v is 

t= ln [g / (g-c*v)] / c. 

With v=.9 vt =.9 g/c,

t = ln [10] /c = 6.4 sec.

What are the roots of the equation x2 - 5x + 6 = 0?
Alenkasestr [34]

The answer is

B. -2 and 3

Step-by-step explanation :

Given the expression

x²- 5x + 6 = 0

Firstly we need to find two numbers that when multiplied will give us the constant term 6, and when added will give us the 2nd term 5

These numbers are 3 and 2

Substituting 2x +3x for 5x

x²- (2x+3x)+ 6 = 0

x²-2x-3x+6=0

(x²-2x)-(3x+6)=0

Factoring we have

x(x-2)-3(x-2)=0

x-3=0, x-2=0

x=3, x= 2

Find the volume of the cylinder. Use 3.14 for π. Round to the nearest tenth.
lakkis [162]

Answer:

62.8 m^2

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a cylinder is given by

V = pi r^2 h  where r is the radius and h is the height

V = (3.14) ( 2)^2 *5

V = 62.8 m^2
