Answer:

The point - slope form of the equation of line 1 is y = (-1/2)x + 1

Step-by-step explanation:

here, the given point on the equation 1 is A(6, -2).

Now, equation of line 2 is y = 2x - 3

Comparing it with the INTERCEPT SLOPE FORM : y = mx + C

Slope of Line 2 = 2 (= m2)

Now,as line 1 is perpendicular to line 1

⇒ Slope of line 1 x Slope of line 2 = -1

or, slope of line 1 = (-1/2)

Now, by POINT SLOPE form of a equation:

An equation with point (x0 , y0) and slope m is given as

(y - y0)= m (x - x0)

Here, the equation of line 1 with point (6, -2) and slope (-1/2) is given as:

$y - (-2) = \frac{-1}{2} (x -6)\\\implies 2( y + 2) = 6 -x\\or, 2y + 4 = 6 -x\\\implies 2y = -x + 2\\or, y = (-\frac{1}{2}) x + 1$

Hence, the point - slope form of the equation of line 1 is y = (-1/2)x + 1

(X^3+1)dividend (x-1)

bazaltina [42]

$x^3=x\cdot x^2$ and $x^2(x-1)=x^3-x^2$ . So we have a remainder of

$(x^3+1)-(x^3-x^2)=x^2+1$

$x^2=x\cdot x$ and $x(x-1)=x^2-x$ . Subtracting this from the previous remainder gives a new remainder

$(x^2+1)-(x^2-x)=x+1$

$x=x\cdot1$ and $1(x-1)=x-1$ . Subtracting this from the previous remainder gives a new one of

$(x+1)-(x-1)=2$

and we're done since 2 does not divide $x$ . So we have

$\dfrac{x^3+1}{x-1}=x^2+x+1+\dfrac2{x-1}$

A standard number cube is tossed. Find the following probability. P(greater than 4 or odd)

lorasvet [3.4K]

A standard cube has 6 possible outcomes. But since we want to find P(4+ or odd), the outcomes become more narrow.
So:
6 outcomes -> 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6

But we want to find 4+
So:
4+ = 4, 5, 6

We also want to find all odd possibilities.
So:
odd = 1, 3, 5

As you can see, there is a 5 in both the 4+ and the odd numbers so 5 will only be counted once.
P(4+ or odd) = 1, 3, 4, 5, 6

So the probability of having an outcome that is P(4+ or odd) is:
5/6 or 0.8333 or 83.33%

Hope I helped!
