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)}

1. Let's write out the equation to subtract.

7t - 2u - 3v - (t - 3v)

Distribute the negative to the t and -3v.

7t - 2u - 3v - t + 3v         (The negatives cancel out)

Now simplify by combining like terms.

6t - 2u

This is the answer because the 3v and -3v cancel out.

2. I don't really understand what this is saying. Is there answer choices for this? But what I think its saying is that the lift has a constant of 2.

3. To find out the amount of terms, we would simplify the equation.

2x + 3y - 5x + yz - x

-4x  + 3y + yx

Here, we can see that we have 3 terms in this expression.

-4x is the first term, +3y is the second term, and +yx is the third term.

Answer these true or false questions:
stepan [7]
Sometimes it helps to put a number line in front of you. If one number is to the left of the other number on the number line, it's a lower number. If one number is to the right of the other number on the number line, it is greater.

-5 -4 -3 -2 -1 0 1 2 3 4 5

4 is a solution of x<-5
FALSE: 4 is not greater than -5


-3 is a solution of y>-2
FALSE: -3 is not greater than -2


y≤3 includes 3 as a possible solution
TRUE: 3 is less than OR EQUAL to 3


Hope this helps! :)

Suzanne can read 1 page in 3 minutes. how many pages can she read in 5 hours?
pychu [463]
If Suzanne can read 1 page in 3 minutes, that means that in ONE hour, she can read 20 pages.
1 page per 3 minute
60minutes : 3 = 20 pages
Now, multiply 20 pages by 5 hours.
20 x 5 = 100.

I hope it helps! (She's pretty slow at reading)
