Answer:

a = 13 - x

Step-by-step explanation:

Age = a

(Any other letter of substitution for age would be fine)

For example if x was 5 :

a = 13 - 5

a = 8

Can you fine the cube root of a negative number? If so, is it positive or negative? Explain your answer.

Nata [24]

Answer:

Yes, you can find the cube root of a negative number. The answer will be negative!

Step-by-step explanation:

Example: Find the cube root of -27

We know that a cube root is a number multiplied by itself 3 times (NOT MEANING THE NUMBER TIMES 3)

For example, The cube root of 27 positive is 3 because 3 x 3 x 3 = 27

But if we are using a negative number: It is really different because we got to know the rules.

The setup: -3 x -3 x -3 = -27

If we started with -3 x -3 first we know that a negative times a negative equals positive so the answer will be 9 positive, then we have this equation left:

9 x -3 = -27

The rule with this is a number times a negative is negative, so the answer of the question "Find the cube root of -27 is -3"

8) through: (-3, -2), perp. to y = x – 1 A) y=-5x – 1 B) y=-4x – 5 C) y=-x – 5 D) y=-5x – 4

Answer:

The equation through (-3, -2) and perpendicular to y = x – 1 is y = -x -5 and option c is correct.

Solution:

Given, line equation is y = x – 1 ⇒ x – y – 1 = 0. And a point is (-3, -2)

We have to find the line equation which is perpendicular to above given line and passing through the given point.

Now, let us find the slope of the given line equation.

$\text { Slope }=\frac{-x \text { coefficient }}{y \text { coefficient }}=\frac{-1}{-1}=1$

We know that, product of slopes of perpendicular lines is -1.

So, 1 $\times$ slope of perpendicular line = -1

slope of perpendicular line = -1

Now let us write point slope form for our required line.

$\mathrm{y}-\mathrm{y}_{1}=\mathrm{m}\left(\mathrm{x}-\mathrm{x}_{1}\right)$

y – (-2) = -1(x – (-3))

y + 2 = -1(x + 3)

y + 2 = -x – 3

x + y + 2 + 3 = 0

x + y + 5 = 0

y = -x -5

Hence the equation through (-3, -2) and perpendicular to y = x – 1 is y = -x -5 and option c is correct.
