Answer:
Perpendicular lines have slopes that are opposite and reciprocal. Therefore, the line we are looking for has a -3 slope.
y= -3x+b
Now, we can substitute in the point given to find the intercept.
2= -3(4)+b
2= -12+b
b=14
Finally, put in everything we've found to finish the equation.
y= -3x+14
Let <em>q</em> be the number of quarts of pure antifreeze that needs to be added to get the desired solution.
8 quarts of 40% solution contains 0.40 × 8 = 3.2 quarts of antifreeze.
The new solution would have a total volume of 8 + <em>q</em> quarts, and it would contain a total amount of 3.2 + <em>q</em> quarts of antifreeze. You want to end up with a concentration of 60% antifreeze, which means
(3.2 + <em>q</em>) / (8 + <em>q</em>) = 0.60
Solve for <em>q</em> :
3.2 + <em>q</em> = 0.60 (8 + <em>q</em>)
3.2 + <em>q</em> = 4.8 + 0.6<em>q</em>
0.4<em>q</em> = 1.6
<em>q</em> = 4
Answer:
x = 38, y = 4
Step-by-step explanation:
Since AB = BC then the triangle is isosceles and the base angles are congruent, that is
∠ DAB = ∠ DCB = 52°
Subtract the sum of the base angle from 180° for ∠ ABC
∠ ABC = 180° - (52 + 52)° = 180° - 104° = 76°
Note that ∠ ABD = ∠ CBD, thus
x = 76 ÷ 2 = 38
BD bisects the side AC, thus DC = AD = 4
Thus y = 4
What is the 9th term of the geometric sequence 4, -20, 100, ...
<span>First term, a = 4 </span>
<span>common ratio, r = –20 / 4 = –5 </span>
<span>..... ..... ..... ..... = 100 / –20 = –5 </span>
<span>9th term = 4 ( –5 ) ^ ( 9 - 1 ) </span>
<span>..... ...... = 4 ( –5 ) ^ 8 </span>
<span>..... ...... = 4 ( 390,625 ) </span>
<span>..... ...... = 1,562,500 </span>
