Answer: y=-8x-12

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of the line has the form:

y=mx+b

Where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

Let's find the slope of the given line. Solve for y:

-x+8y=16\\8y=x+16\\y=(1/8)x+2

Then m=1/8

By definition the slopes of perpendicular lines are negative reciprocals, therefore the slope of the other line is:

m=-8

Substitute the slope and the point given into the equation of the line to calculate b:

4=(-8)(-2)+b\\4=16+b\\b=-12

Then the equation is:

y=-8x-12

Answer:

y  =  -8x-12

Step-by-step explanation:

We have given an equation of line and a point.

-x+8y=16  and (x,y) =  (-2, 4)

We have to find the equation of line that is perpendicular -x+8y=16.

y  = mx+c is equation of line where m is slope and c is y-intercept.

8y  =  x+16

y  = 1/8x+2

Hence, slope of perpendicular line is -8.

y  =  -8x+c is equation of perpendicular line to -x+8y=16.

putting the value of point in above equation , we have

4 = -8(-2)+c

4  =  16+c

c  =  4-16

c  =  -12

hence, y  = -8x-12  is equation of line passes through (-2, 4) and perpendicular to -x+8y=16.

Answer:

\boxed{f(x) - g(x) = 2x(2x^{2} + x + 1)}

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = 9x³ + 2x² - 5x + 4; g(x)=5x³ -7x + 4

Step 1. Calculate the difference between the functions

(a) Write the two functions, one above the other, in decreasing order of exponents.

ƒ(x) = 9x³ + 2x² - 5x + 4

g(x) = 5x³           - 7x + 4

(b) Create a subtraction problem using the two functions

        ƒ(x) =    9x³ + 2x² - 5x + 4

      -g(x) =  <u>-(5x³           - 7x + 4) </u>

ƒ(x) -g(x)=

(c). Subtract terms with the same exponent of x

        ƒ(x)   =    9x³ + 2x² - 5x + 4

      -g(x)  =   <u>-(5x³          -  7x + 4) </u>

ƒ(x) -g(x) =      4x³ + 2x² + 2x

Step 2. Factor the expression

y = 4x³ + 2x² + 2x

Factor 2x from each term

y = 2x(2x² + x + 1)

\boxed{f(x) - g(x) = 2x(2x^{2} + x + 1)}

Laurel wants to build a fence around her square garden. Each side measures 50 feet. She also wants to fence in 3 square rose bed
pickupchik [31]
If you would like to know how many feet of fencing does Laurel need in all, you can calculate this using the following steps:

square garden: 4 * 50 feet = 200 feet
3 square rose beds: 3 * 10.5 feet * 4 = 12 * 10.5 feet = 126 feet

200 feet + 126 feet = 326 feet

Laurel will need 326 feet of fencing.
