Can you let me know when you get the answer?
Corresponding sides have the same ratio, so
x/15 = 12/(12+8) = 3/5
x = 15*3/5
x = 9
Answer <u>(assuming it is allowed to be in point-slope format)</u>:
Step-by-step explanation:
1) First, determine the slope. We know it has to be perpendicular to the given equation, 
. That equation is already in slope-intercept form, or y = mx + b format, in which m represents the slope. Since 
is in place of the m in the equation, that must be the slope of the given line.
Slopes that are perpendicular are opposite reciprocals of each other (they have different signs, and the denominators and numerators switch places). Thus, the slope of the new line must be 
.
2) Now, use the point-slope formula, 
to write the new equation with the given information. Substitute 
, 
, and 
for real values.
The represents the slope, so substitute in its place. The and represent the x and y values of a point the line intersects. Since the point crosses (1,4), substitute 1 for and 4 for . This gives the following equation and answer:
Answer:
x² + 2x + [3\x - 1]
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the divisor is in the form of <em>x - c</em>, use what is called <em>Synthetic Division</em>. Remember, in this formula, -c gives you the OPPOSITE terms of what they really are, so do not forget it. Anyway, here is how it is done:
1| 1 1 -2 3
↓ 1 2 0
------------------
1 2 0 3 → x² + 2x + [3\x - 1]
You start by placing the <em>c</em> in the top left corner, then list all the coefficients of your dividend [x² + 5x - 36]. You bring down the original term closest to <em>c</em> then begin your multiplication. Now depending on what symbol your result is tells you whether the next step is to subtract or add, then you continue this process starting with multiplication all the way up until you reach the end. Now, when the last term is 0, that means you have no remainder, which in this case is a 3, so what you is set the divisor underneath the remainder of 3. Finally, your quotient is one degree less than your dividend, so that 1 in your quotient can be an x², 2 becomes <em>2x</em><em>,</em><em> </em>and the remainder of 3 is set over the divisor, giving you the other factor of <em>x² + 2x + [3\x - 1]</em>.

Answer: 16.67% for question 1
83.33% for question 2
Step-by-step explanation:
1/6 as a percent is 16.67% because the is only 1 correct number
5/6 as a percent is 83.33% because there is 5 wrong numbers
