Answer:

\large\boxed{x=4\pm2\sqrt6}

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2-6x+12=2x+20\qquad\text{subtract}\ 2x\ \text{and}\ 12\ \text{from both sides}\\\\x^2-8x=8\\\\x^2-2(x)(4)=8\qquad\text{add}\ 4^2=16\ \text{to both sides}\\\\x^2-2(x)(4)+4^2=8+4^2\qquad\text{use}\ (a-b)^2=a^2-2ab+b^2\\\\(x-4)^2=24\iff x-4=\pm\sqrt{24}\\\\x-4=\pm\sqrt{4\cdot6}\\\\x-4=\pm\sqrt4\cdot\sqrt6\\\\x-4=\pm2\sqrt6\qquad\text{add 4 to both sides}\\\\x=4\pm2\sqrt6

3. Write an equation for the line that is perpendicular to the given line and that passes through the given point. y = 4x + 1 (1
asambeis [7]

Answer:

D. y = -1/4x + 3

Step-by-step explanation:

If the line is perpendicular, it will have a opposite reciprocal slope.

So, the slope will be -1/4.

Plug in this slope and the given point into y = mx + b, and solve for b:

y = mx + b

-6 = -1/4(12) + b

-6 = -3 + b

-3 = b

Plug in the slope and y intercept into y = mx + b

y = -1/4x - 3

So, the correct answer is D. y = -1/4x + 3

If 18is 45% of a value what is the value
DedPeter [7]
To solve this, create an equation that follows 45% of a value is 18. This would look like x*.45=18. Now, solve for x, x*.45=18, divide by .45, x=18/.45=40, making your value 40. To check, plug in your value to the equation 40*.45=18 and see if it stays true.

What is 4 to the 6th power over 4 to the 8th power?
andreev551 [17]

4⁶ / 4⁸

Since the 'bases' are the same on top and bottom, you can
just subtract the bottom exponent from the top one.

4⁶ / 4⁸
= 4⁶⁻⁸
= 4⁻²
= 1/4²
= 1/16
