Answer:

Carlos is incorrect.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that a line through the origin has a slope of $\frac{1}{3}$ . Carlos thinks the slope of a perpendicular line at the origin will be 3.

We know that the slope of a perpendicular line to a given line is always negative reciprocal of the slope of the given line.

The slope of the perpendicular line at the origin will be negative reciprocal of $\frac{1}{3}$ .

Let us find negative reciprocal of $\frac{1}{3}$ as:

$-\frac{1}{\frac{1}{3}}=-\frac{1\cdot 3}{1}=-3$

Since the slope of a perpendicular line at the origin is $-3$ , therefore, Carlos is incorrect.

2. Consider the function, f(x)=x^3+x^2-9x-9

Sedaia [141]

The intercepts of the graph are:

x-axis interception: $\left(-1,\:0\right),\:\left(-3,\:0\right),\:\left(3,\:0\right)$ .

y-axis interception: $\left(0,\:-9\right)$ .

See the graph of the function $f(x)=x^3+x^2-9x-9$ in the attached image.

<h3>Constructing a graph</h3>

For constructing a graph we have the following steps:

Determine the range of values for x of your graph.

For this exercise, for example, we can define a range -4<x<4. In others words, the values of x will be in this interval.

Determine the points

Replace these x-values in the given equation. For example:

When x=-4, we will have: $\left(-4\right)^3+\left(-4\right)^2-9\left(-4\right)-9=-21$ . Do this for the all x-values of your ranges.

See the results for this step in the attached table.

Draw the graph

Mark the points <u>x</u> and<u> y</u> that you found in the last step. After that, connect the dots to draw the graph.

The attached image shows the graph for the given function.

<h3>Find the x- and y-intercepts</h3>

The intercepts are points that crosses the axes of your plot. From your graph is possible to see:

x-axis interception points (y=f(x)=0) are: $\left(-1,\:0\right),\:\left(-3,\:0\right),\:\left(3,\:0\right)$ .

y-axis interception point (x=0) is: $\left(0,\:-9\right)$ .

What is the area of the shape below

Bad White [126]

Answer:

The area of the shape is $A=886 \:cm^2$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

The shape in the graph is a composite figure is made up of several simple geometric figures such as triangles, and rectangles.

Area is the space inside of a two-dimensional shape. We can also think of area as the amount of space a shape covers.

To calculate the area of a composite shape you must divide the shape into rectangles, triangles or other shapes you can find the area of and then add the areas back together.

First separate the composite shape into three simpler shapes, in this case two rectangles and a triangle. Then find the area of each figure.

To find the area of a rectangle, we multiply the length of the rectangle by the width of the rectangle.

The area of the first rectangle is $A=34\cdot 16=544\:cm^2$

The area of the second rectangle is $A=11\cdot19=209\: cm^2$

The area of a triangle is given by the formula $A=\frac{1}{2} bh$ where <em>b</em> is the base and <em>h</em> is the height of the triangle.

The area of the triangle is $A=\frac{1}{2} \cdot 14\cdot19=133\:cm^2$

Finally, add the areas of the simpler figures together to find the total area of the composite figure.

$A_{composite\:shape}=544+209+133=886 \:cm^2$
