Answer: k=18\dfrac{8}{11}.

Step-by-step explanation:

If a line passing through two points, then

Slope=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

Endpoints of segment MN have coordinates (0, 0) and (5, 1).

Slope of MN =\dfrac{1-0}{5-0}=\dfrac{1}{5}

The endpoints of segment AB have coordinates \left(1\dfrac{1}{22} , 2\dfrac{1}{4}\right) and  \left(-2\dfrac{1}{4} , k\right).

A=\left(1\dfrac{1}{22} , 2\dfrac{1}{4}\right)=\left(\dfrac{23}{22} ,\dfrac{9}{4}\right)

B=\left(-2\dfrac{1}{4} , k\right)=\left(-\dfrac{9}{4} , k\right).

Slope of AB =\dfrac{k-\frac{9}{4}}{-\frac{9}{4}-\dfrac{23}{22}}

=\dfrac{\frac{4k-9}{4}}{\frac{-99-46}{44}}

=\dfrac{4k-9}{4}\times \dfrac{44}{-145}

=4k-9\times \dfrac{11}{-145}

=\dfrac{44k-99}{-145}

Product of slopes of two perpendicular segments is -1.

Slope of MN × Slope of AB = -1

\dfrac{1}{5}\times \dfrac{44k-99}{-145}=-1

\dfrac{44k-99}{-725}=-1

44k-99=725

44k=725+99

k=\dfrac{824}{44}

k=\dfrac{206}{11}

k=18\dfrac{8}{11}

Therefore, the value of k is k=18\dfrac{8}{11}.

Answer:

k=21

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the slope of MN which is 1/5, (use the slope formula.)

Use the slope formula for AB using k as y_2

Substitute and you get k=21

21-2.25/-2.25-1.5=-5

The lines are perpendicular because the slopes are the negative reciprocal of one another.

The coefficient of x in the expansion of the following is (x+3)^3 a) 1 b) 3 c) 18 d) 27 e) 9
VashaNatasha [74]

Answer:

  d) 27

Step-by-step explanation:

The expanded form of (a+b)³ is ...

  (a +b)³ = a³ +3a²b +3ab² +b³

When we are expanding (x +3)³, the x-term is ...

  3(x)(3²) = 27x

The coefficient of x in the expansion is 27.
