Use the zero product property to solve the equation. (4k+5)(k+7)=0

1 answer:

7 0

The zero product property tells us that if we have
xy=0, then we can assume that x and y both equal 0

so

(4k+5)(k+7)=0
we can assume that 4k+5=0 and k+7=0
so

4k+5=0
minus 5 both sides
4k=-5
divide both sides by 4
k=-5/4

k+7=0
minus 7 both sides
k=-7

k=-5/4 or -7

What is the square route of 49

Katen [24]

7.

One way to figure this out is to go from 2-10, and multiply them by them self each other to see what number works.

Another way is to use a calculator and the square root button.

Hope that helps!

Answer:

10) area of 130° segment 4.5 in²

Step-by-step explanation:

10) area of full circle = πr² = (3.14)(2²) = 12.56 in²

area of 130° segment = (130/360)(12.56) = 4.54 in²

. Given ????(5, −4) and T(−8,12):

damaskus [11]

Answer:

a) $y=\dfrac{13x}{16}-\dfrac{129}{16}$

b) $y = \dfrac{13x}{16}+ \dfrac{37}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given two points: $S(5,-4)$ and $T(-8,12)$

Since in both questions,a and b, we're asked to find lines that are perpendicular to ST. So, we'll do that first!

Perpendicular to ST:

the equation of any line is given by: $y = mx + c$ where, m is the slope(also known as gradient), and c is the y-intercept.

to find the perpendicular of ST we first need to find the gradient of ST, using the gradient formula.

$m = \dfrac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}$

the coordinates of S and T can be used here. (it doesn't matter if you choose them in any order: S can be either x_1 and y_1 or x_2 and y_2)

$m = \dfrac{12 - (-4)}{(-8) - 5}$

$m = \dfrac{-16}{13}$

to find the perpendicular of this gradient: we'll use:

$m_1m_2=-1$

both $m_1$ and $m_2$ denote slopes that are perpendicular to each other. So if $m_1 = \dfrac{12 - (-4)}{(-8) - 5}$ , then we can solve for $m_2$ for the slop of ther perpendicular!

$\left(\dfrac{-16}{13}\right)m_2=-1$

$m_2=\dfrac{13}{16}$ :: this is the slope of the perpendicular

a) Line through S and Perpendicular to ST

to find any equation of the line all we need is the slope $m$ and the points $(x,y)$ . And plug into the equation: $(y - y_1) = m(x-x_1)$

side note: you can also use the $y = mx + c$ to find the equation of the line. both of these equations are the same. but I prefer (and also recommend) to use the former equation since the value of 'c' comes out on its own.

$(y - y_1) = m(x-x_1)$

we have the slope of the perpendicular to ST i.e $m=\dfrac{13}{16}$
