Answer: -2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The slope of a line is \dfrac{1}{2}.

We know that the product of two perpendicular lines is -1.

Let m be the slope of  line that is perpendicular to given line.

Then,we have :-

m\times\dfrac{1}{2}=-1\\\\\Rightarrow\ m=-2

Hence, the slope of a line that is perpendicular to this line =-2

Perpendicular lines have negative reciprocal slopes. So if 1 slope has a slope of 1/2, then its perpendicular line has a slope of -2/1 or just -2

Write a real-life problem that you can solve using a 45 degree, -45 degree, -90 degree triangle with an 18-ft hypotenuse. Descri
finlep [7]

Answer:

A triangle with angles:

"45°, 45°, 90°"

Is a triangle rectangle, with two catheti of equal length.

Now, there is a lot of problems that you can solve with this:

"Suppose that you want to find the height at which you need to attach a wire in a tree, such that the distance between the tree and the ground is 18ft, and the distance between the base of the tree and the two points where the wire is fixed is exactly the same"

Well, here we have a triangle rectangle with a hypotenuse of 18 ft, with cathetus of equal length (the catheti are the tree and the distance between the base of the tree and the point where the wire is attached at the ground)

And because the catheti are equal, then the angles are 45°, 45° and 90°.

wariber [46]

Answer:

37.68 Inches cubed (A)

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for a cylinder is:

πr^2(h)

First, let's find the radius, which is:

4/2 = 2

Now, we can plug in the values:

3.14(2)^2(3)

Do exponents first:

3.14(4)(3)

Multiply left to right:

12.56(3)

Again:

37.68 Inches

So, the answer is:

37.68 Inches cubed (Or A)

Hope this helps!

How would you write the following expression as a single term? 3[2 ln(x-1) - lnx] + ln (x+1)
Elan Coil [88]

Apply the rule: n ln x = ln x^{n}

3[2 ln(x-1) - lnx] + ln(x+1)=3[ln(x-1)^{2} - lnx ] + ln(x+1)

Apply the rule : log a - log b = log \frac{a}{b}

3[2 ln(x-1) - lnx] + ln(x+1)=3ln\frac{(x-1)^{2} }{x} + ln(x+1)

Apply the rule: n ln x = ln x^{n}

3[ln (x-1)^{2} -ln x]+ln (x+1)= ln \frac{(x-1)^{6} }{x^{3} } +log(x+1)

Finally, apply the rule: log a + log b = log ab

3[ln(x-1)^{2} -ln x]+log(x+1)=ln\frac{(x-1)^{6}(x+1) }{x^{3} }

A football player completes a pass 69.4​% of the time. Find the probability that​ (a) the first pass he completes is the second​
wlad13 [49]

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) If his second pass is the first that he completes, that means he doesn't complete his first pass.

P = P(not first) × P(second)

P = (1 − 0.694) (0.694)

P ≈ 0.212

(b) This time we're looking for the probability that he doesn't complete the first but does complete the second, or completes the first and not the second.

P = P(not first) × P(second) + P(first) × P(not second)

P = (1 − 0.694) (0.694) + (0.694) (1 − 0.694)

P ≈ 0.425

(c) Finally, we want the probability he doesn't complete either pass.

P = P(not first) × P(not second)

P = (1 − 0.694) (1 − 0.694)

P ≈ 0.094
