Find a positive number that equals 72 when added to it square

We can find the equation of a line by using two sets of data. It can be a pair of ordered pairs, or the slope and a point, or the slope and the y-intercept, or many other combinations of appropriate data.

We are given a line

$y - 12 = 2x -8$

And are required to find a line perpendicular to that line. Let's find the slope of the given line. Solving for y

$y = 2x +4$

The coefficient of the x is the slope

$m=2$

The slope of the perpendicular line is the negative reciprocal of m, thus

$\displaystyle m'=-\frac{1}{2}$

We know the second line passes through (2,3). That is enough information to find the second equation:

$y-y_o=m'(x-x_o)$

$\displaystyle y-3=-\frac{1}{2}(x-2)$

Operating

$\displaystyle y=-\frac{1}{2}(x-2)+3$

Simplifying

$\displaystyle y=-\frac{1}{2}x+4$

That is the equation in slope-intercept form. Intercept: y=4

The required diagram is attached in the picture below :

Answer:

15.05 miles

2 :09:12

5 hours 19 minutes 18 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

28/4/18:

Time : 1 :03 : 25

Fastest mile = 02 : 25

Distance = 15.05 miles

03/5/18:

Time : 2:06: 41

Fastest mile = 02 : 53

Distance = 28.70 miles

08/5/18:

Time : 2 :09:12

Fastest mile = 02 : 45

Distance = 26.39 miles2

1.) shortest distance cycled :

From the data:

15.05 < 26.39 < 28.70

Shortest distance cycled = 15.05 miles

The longest the cycled:

1 :03 : 25 < 2:06: 41 < 2 :09:12

Longest = 2 :09:12

Total cycling time :

1 :03 : 25 + 2:06: 41 + 2 :09:12

(1 + 2 + 2)= 5 hrs

(03 + 06+ 09) = 18 minutes

(25 + 41 + 12) = 78 seconds = 1 minute 18 seconds

18 minutes + 1 minute = 19 minutes

Total = 5 hours 19 minutes 18 seconds

consider the function represented by the equation 16b = 4r - 12. write the equation in function notation, where b is the indepen

katovenus [111]

When you write a function in the form $y=f(x)$ , y is the dependent variable, and x is the independent variable.

So, if b is the independent variable, it means that we have to solve the expression for r.

To do so, we perform the following steps: start with

$16b = 4r - 12$

Add 12 to both sides

$16b+12 = 4r$

Divide both sides by 4:

$4b+3 = r$

So, we wrote the expression in the form $r = f(b) = 4b+3$ , which means that r is the dependent variable and b is the independent variable, as requested.
