Answer:

<em>x=-7</em>

<em>y=11</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Perpendicular Vectors</u>

Two vectors defined as their endpoints \vec u= and \vec v= are perpendicular if their dot product a.b is zero. The dot product is

\vec u.\vec v=ac+bd

In other words

ac+bd=0

Let's treat all the points as the extremes of vectors, so we can easily find the missing coordinates

B (3,5) and C (7,15) define a segment, the vector  

\overrightarrow{BC}==

The point A is A (x,9), we need to form a vector with B

\overrightarrow{AB}==

this vector must be perpendicular to BC, so, applying the dot product we have

4(x-3)+40=0

4x-12=-40

x=-7

The point D is D(17,y), we need to form a vector with C

\overrightarrow{CD}==

this vector must be perpendicular to BC, so, applying the dot product we have

(4)(10)+(10)(y-15)=0

40+10y-150=0

10y=110

y=11

The points are

\boxed{A(-7,9), D(17,11)}

if f(1) = -5 and f(n) = f(n-1) +7, find the first four terms and the common difference of the sequence
Alex_Xolod [135]

Answer:

- 5, 2, 9, 16 and d = + 7

Step-by-step explanation:

to obtain the first four terms substitute n = 2, 3, 4 into the recursive formula

f(1) = - 5 ← given

f(2) = f(1) + 7 = - 5 + 7 = 2

f(3) = f(2) + 7 = 2 + 7 = 9

f(4) = f(3) + 7 = 9 + 7 = 16

common difference d = 16 - 9 = 9 - 2 = 2 - (- 5) = 7

Convert 1.46 radian angle into degrees. Round decimal answers to nearest tenth. Use 3.14 for pi.
natulia [17]

Answer:

83.7°

Step-by-step explanation:

180° : pi

180 : 3.14

X : 1.46

180/3.14 = X/1.46

X = 1.46 × 180/3.14

X = 83.6942675159

X = 83.7°
