Since our line is perpendicular to this line, the slope of

our line is the negative reciprocal of 1/4, which is -4/1.

Remember, negative reciprocal is just a fancy way

of saying flip the fraction and change the sign.

So the slope of our line is -4/1 and we use this slope along

with our given point to write the equation of our line.

Start with the point-slope formula.

Y - y1 = m(x - x1).

~Substitute

Y - -2 = -4/1(x - 5).

Minus a negative is plus a positive.

Y + 2 = -4/1x + 20.

Subtract 2 from both sides.

Y = -4/1x + 18

So, our answer is C.

The division algorithm states that if p(x) and d(x) are polynomial functions with d left parenthesis x right parenthesis not e

katrin [286]

Answer:

In a division algorithm, $p(x)$ refers to the dividend polynomial, $d(x)$ refers to the divisor polynomial, $q(x)$ refers to the quotient polynomial and $r(x)$ refers to the residula polynomial.

The division algorithm is defined as

$p(x)=d(x) \times q(x) +r(x)$

Where $p(x)\geq d(x)$ and $d(x) \neq 0$ , other wise the algorithm won't be defined.

So, the complete paragraph is: "if $p(x)$ and $d(x)$ are polynomial functions with $d(x)\neq 0$ and the degree of $d(x)$ is less than or equal to the degree of $p(x)$ , then there exist unique polynomial functions $q(x)$ and $r(x)$ such that $p(x)=d(x) \times q(x) +r(x)$ .

A dance club hires two different DJ’s to

zubka84 [21]

Answer:

The expression is 100x + 50y ≤ 800.

Step-by-step explanation:

The hip hop DJ charge for $100 per hour. Let x be number of hours of hip hop :

$hip \: hop = 100 \times x$

$hip \: hop = 100x$

For rap DJ, the charge is $50 per hour. Let y be the number of hours of rap :

$rap = 50 \times y$

$rap = 50y$

Given that both DJs spend a maximum of $800. So the final expression is :

$100x + 50y \leqslant 800$

Graph these equations: x+2y=6, y=-1/2x+4 How many solutions does the system of equations have?

inysia [295]

Answer:

The system has no solution

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

$x+2y=6$

Isolate the variable y

$2y=-x+6$

Divide by 2 both sides

$y=-\frac{x}{2}+3$ ---> equation A

$y=-\frac{x}{2}+4$ ---> equation B

Compare the equations

Equation A and equation B have the same slope and different y-intercept

Remember that

If two lines have the same slope, then the lines are parallel

The solution of the system is the intersection point both graphs

In this problem, the lines don't intersect, therefore, the system has no solution

Christine Wong has asked Dave and Mike to help her move into a new apartment on Sunday morning. She has asked them both in case

olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer:

(a) The probability that both Dave and Mike will show up is 0.25.

(b) The probability that at least one of them will show up is 0.75.

(c) The probability that neither Dave nor Mike will show up is 0.25.

Step-by-step explanation:

Denote the events as follows:

<em>D</em> = Dave will show up.

<em>M</em> = Mike will show up.

Given:

$P(D^{c})=0.55\\P(M^{c})=0.45$

It is provided that the events of Dave of Mike showing up are independent of each other.

(a)

Compute the probability that both Dave and Mike will show up as follows:

$P(D\cap M)=P(D)\times P (M)\\=[1-P(D^{c})]\times [1-P(M^{c})]\\=[1-0.55]\times[1-0.45]\\=0.2475\\\approx0.25$

Thus, the probability that both Dave and Mike will show up is 0.25.

(b)

Compute the probability that at least one of them will show up as follows:

P (At least one of them will show up) = 1 - P (Neither will show up)

$=1-P(D^{c}\cup M^{c})\\=P(D\cup M)\\=P(D)+P(M)-P(D\cap M)\\=[1-P(D^{c})]+[1-P(M^{c})]-P(D\cap M)\\=[1-0.55]+[1-0.45]-0.25\\=0.75$

Thus, the probability that at least one of them will show up is 0.75.

(c)

Compute the probability that neither Dave nor Mike will show up as follows:

$P(D^{c}\cup M^{c})=1-P(D\cup M)\\=1-P(D)-P(M)+P(D\cap M)\\=1-[1-P(D^{c})]-[1-P(M^{c})]+P(D\cap M)\\=1-[1-0.55]-[1-0.45]+0.25\\=0.25$

Thus, the probability that neither Dave nor Mike will show up is 0.25.
