Y = 1/3x ? 6....slope here is 1/3. A perpendicular line will have a negative reciprocal slope. All that means is " flip " the slope and change the sign. So our perpendicular line will have a slope of -3 (see how I flipped 1/3 and changed the sign)

y = mx + b
slope(m) = -3
(-9,12)...x = -9 and y = 12
now we sub and find b, the y int
12 = -3(-9) + b
12 = 27 + b
12 - 27 = b
-15 = b

so ur perpendicular equation is : y = -3x - 15

there is $3080 in the math department fund. They need to deposit enough money in the fund to pay for a shipment work $2800, and

tiny-mole [99]

Answer:

3080+d > = 3300

Step-by-step explanation:

The first question to ask is how much money do they need in the fund?

They need the shipment costs plus the future shipment costs

2800+500 = 3300

They have 3080

Let d = how much they need to deposit

How much they have plus how much they need to deposit must be greater than or equal to how much they need.

3080+d > = 3300

If y = 3x^3 - 2x and dx/dt equals 3, find dy/dt when x = -2. Give only the numerical answer. For example, if dy, dt = 4, type on

Nadya [2.5K]

Answer:

$\frac{dy}{dt} = 102$

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>step(i)</u>

Given function y = 3 x³ - 2 x ... (i)

Differentiating equation (i) with respective to 'x'

$\frac{dy}{dx} = 3 (3 x^{2} ) - 2(1)$

Given x = -2

$(\frac{dy}{dx} ) x_{=-2} = 3 (3 (-2)^{2} ) - 2(1)$

$(\frac{dy}{dx} ) x_{=-2} = 36 -2 =34$

<u><em>Step(ii):-</em></u>

<u><em>we know that </em></u>

$\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{\frac{dy}{dt} }{\frac{dx}{dt} }$

Given $\frac{dx}{dt} = 3 and \frac{dy}{dx} = 34$

$\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{\frac{dy}{dt} }{\frac{dx}{dt} }$

substitute values $\frac{dx}{dt} = 3 and \frac{dy}{dx} = 34$

⇒ $34 = \frac{\frac{dy}{dt} }{3 }$

cross multiplication , we get

$\frac{dy}{dt} = 34( 3 ) = 102$

<u><em>Final answer</em></u>:-

$\frac{dy}{dt} = 34( 3 ) = 102$
