Answer:

-\frac{1}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the slope value of the first line, we will call this m_{1}

so  m_{1}=2

And we use the <u>condition </u>so that two lines are perpendicular: the product of the two slopes must be equal to -1.

That is, if the slope of the first line is m_{1} and the slope of the second line is m_{2}:

m_{1*}m_{2}=-1

we know that m_{1}=2, so:

2m_{2}=-1

and clearing for m_{2}:

m_{2}=-\frac{1}{2}

the slope of the line perpendicular to the line with a slope of 2 is: -\frac{1}{2}

Write the equation of a polynomial of degree 3, with zeros 1, 2 and -1 where f(0)=2
ser-zykov [4K]

Answer:

f(x) = x^3 - 2x^2 - x + 2

Step-by-step explanation:

since the zeroes are 1,-1, and 2. we can write the function like

f(x) = (x-1)(x+1)(x-2)

f(x) = (x^2-1)(x-2)

f(x) = x^3 -2x^2 -x +2

and it is true that f(0)=2
