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)}

Answer:  2 1/4 more flour for 9 servings

Step-by-step explanation: (a) how many total cups of flour are there per serving? show your work

1 1/2÷6= 3/2 x 1/6 = 3/12= 1/4 cups of flour per serving

(b) how many total cups of sugar (white and brown) are there per serving?show your work

3/4 + 1/3 = 9/12 + 4/12= 13/12= 1 1/12 total cups of sugar

13/12 ÷ 6/1 = 13/12 x1/6 = 13/72 per serving

(c) supposed you modify the recipe so that it makes 9 servings. How much more flour do you need for the modified recipe than you need for the original recipe?Show your work/

1/4 x 9 = 9/4 = 2 1/4 more flour for 9 servings.

Solve for x: 14-14x^1/3 =2
zmey [24]

Answer: 216/343 or 0.6297

Step-by-step explanation:

14-14x^{1/3} = 2\\14 -2 = 14x^{1/3}\\12 = 14x^{1/3}\\\frac{12}{14} =x^{1/3}\\\frac{6}{7} =x^{1/3}\\(\frac{6}{7})^3 =(x^{1/3})^3\\\frac{6^3}{7^3} =x\\\\\frac{216}{343} = 0.629737609 = x
