A perpendicular line has a negative reciprocal of a given line.


The given slope is 1/3, the reciprocal of this would be 3/1, which simplifies to 3.

The negative of 3 is -3.

Solve the equation <br><br> 3x-1/2y=2
poizon [28]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Without a second equation relating x and y, we can solve 3x - 1/2y = 2 ONLY for x in terms of y or for y in terms of x:

x in terms of y:    Multiply all three terms of 3x - 1/2y = 2 by 2, to eliminate the fraction:  6x - y = 4.  Now add y to both sides to isolate 6x:  6x = 4 + y.

Last, divide both sides by 6 to isolate x:

x = (4 + y)/6

y in terms of x:    

y = 6x - 4

If you want a numerical solution, please provide another equation in x and y and solve the resulting system.

Social studies class is 4 more than two times the length of recess, in minutes.
makvit [3.9K]
Since there are no numbers, i will assume that the length of recess is 1 minute, or x. if social studies is 4 more than 2 times the length of recess, we can use the equation x*2+4 to solve the problem. the end result will be 6 minutes. Social studies is 6 minutes longer than recess

For the given functions f and g, complete parts (a)-(h). For parts (a)-(d), also find the domain.
slamgirl [31]

The domain for (a) , (b) , (c) is all set of real numbers , for (d) (x ε R except x = 3/8.

The complete question is

a) (f + g)(x), (b) (f – g)(x), (c) (f × g)(x), (d) (f / g)(x), (e) (f + g)(7), (f) (f - g)(2), (g) (f.g)(3), (h) (f/g)(27)

<h3>What is a Function ?</h3>

A function is the law that defines the relation between independent and a dependent variable.

It is given that

f(x) = 3x+8

g(x) = 8x-3

(a)  (f + g)(x) = 3x+8 +8x-3 = 11x+5

(b)  (f – g)(x) = 3x+8 -8x+3 = -5x +11

(c) (f × g)(x) = (3x+8)(8x-3) = 24x²-9x+64x -24 = 24x² +55x-24

(d)(f / g)(x) = (3x+8)/(8x-3)

(e) (f + g)(7) = 11*7+5 = 77+5 = 82

(f) (f - g)(2)= -5*2 +11 = 1

(g) (f.g)(3) =24*9 +55*3 -24 = 357

(h)  (f/g)(27) = (3x+8)/(8x-3)  = (3 * 27 +8)/(8*27-3) = 89/213

The domain for (a) , (b) , (c) is all set of real numbers , for (d) (x ε R except x = 3/8)
