Hello,

A=(-4,2)
B=(3,-5)
AB≡y-2=(x+4)(-7)/7==>y=-x-2

Slope of the perpendicular: 1

y-2=(x-1)1==>y=x+1 is the equation of the perpendicular.

Intersection: y=x+1 and y=-x-2 ==>(-3/2,-1/2)=Q

|PQ|²=(-1/2-2)²+(1+3/2)²=25/2
|PQ|=5√2/2≈3.5355339059....

Moonshine Problem: How many gallons of 20% moonshine and how many gallons of 30% moonshine have to be mixed together to make 100

Sindrei [870]

Answer:

50 gallons 20%

50 gallons 30%

Step-by-step explanation:

If x is gallons of 20% moonshine, and y is gallons of 30% moonshine, then:

x + y = 100

0.20x + 0.30y = 0.25(100)

Solve the system of equations using substitution or elimination. Using substitution:

0.20x + 0.30(100 − x) = 0.25(100)

0.20x + 30 − 0.30x = 25

5 = 0.10x

x = 50

y = 50
