Answer:

y - 9 = \frac{1}{2}(x +3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Function; y = -2x + 8

Required

Find an equation perpendicular to the given function if it passes through (-3,9)

First, we need to determine the slope of:  y = -2x + 8

The slope intercept of an equation is in form;

y = mx + b

<em>Where m represent the slope</em>

Comparing  y = m_1x + b to y = -2x + 8;

We'll have that

m_1 = -2

Going from there; we need to calculate the slope of the parallel line

The condition for parallel line is;

m_1 * m_2 = -1

Substitute m_1 = -2

(-2) * m_2 = -1

Divide both sides by -2

m_2 =\frac{ -1}{-2}

m_2 =\frac{1}{2}

The point slope form of a line is;

y - y_1 = m_2(x - x_1)

Where (x_1,y_1) = (-3,9) and m_2 =\frac{1}{2}

y - y_1 = m_2(x - x_1)becomes

y - 9 = \frac{1}{2}(x - (-3))

Open the inner bracket

y - 9 = \frac{1}{2}(x +3)

<em>Hence, the point slope form of the perpendicular line is: </em>

<em />y - 9 = \frac{1}{2}(x +3)<em />

Answer:

-23x^3+20x^4+25x^2+84x-84

Step-by-step explanation:

1 Expand by distributing sum groups.

4x^2(3x+5x^2-6)-7x(3x+5x^2-6)+14(3x+5x^2-6)

2 Expand by distributing terms.

12x^3+20x^4-24x^2-7x(3x+5x^2-6)+14(3x+5x^2-6)

3 Expand by distributing terms.

12x^3+20x^4-24x^2-(21x^2+35x^3-42x)+14(3x+5x^2-6)

4 Expand by distributing terms.

12x^3+20x^4-24x^2-(21x^2+35x^3-42x)+42x+70x^2-84

5 Remove parentheses.

12x^3+20x^4-24x^2-21x^2-35x^3+42x+42x+70x^2-84

6 Collect like terms.

(12x^3-35x^3)+20x^4+(-24x^2-21x^2+70x^2)+(42x+42x)-84

7 Simplify.

-23x^3+20x^4+25x^2+84x-84

Decrease 40 by 15%<br><br> please explain how you got your answer too :)
Anit [1.1K]
So 10 % of 40 is 4
5% of 40 is 2
so 15% is 6
then you have to do 40-6
and then you get the answer of 34
