Write the equation for a line that is perpendicular to the line 8x-4y=12 and passes through the orgin

Mathematics

Delicious77 [7]3 years ago

Answer:

y = - \frac{1}{2} x

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Rearrange 8x - 4y = 12 into this form

Subtract 4x from both sides

- 4y = - 8x + 12 ( divide all terms by - 4 )

y = 2x - 3 ← in slope- intercept form

with slope m = 2

Given a line with slope m then the slope of a line perpendicular to it is

m_{perpendicular} = - \frac{1}{m} = - \frac{1}{2}

Since the line passes through the origin then c = 0

y = - \frac{1}{2} x ← equation of perpendicular line

Express the following in exponential notation: (-4) x ... x (-4) 11 times
Anni [7]

Given:

The expression is:

(-4)\times ...\times (-4) (11\text{ times})

To find:

The exponential notation for the given expression.

Solution:

We know that

a\times a\times ...\times a(n\text{ times})=a^n         ...(i)

We have,

(-4)\times ...\times (-4) (11\text{ times})

Using (i), the given expression can be written as:

(-4)\times ...\times (-4) (11\text{ times})=(-4)^{11}

Therefore, the exponential notation of the given expression is (-4)^{11}.

Part A: Explain why the x-coordinates of the points where the graphs of the equations y = 8^x and y = 2^x + 2 intersect are the
torisob [31]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A:

We have two equations in the given question:

y=8x and y=2x+2

Then these two equations will intersect at a point where y is same fro both the equations:

In equation y=8x we will exchange y with the other equation which is y=2x+2 then we would have  8x=2x+2..

Part B:

8x = 2x + 2. Take the integer values of x between −3 and 3

x= -3

8(-3)=2(-3)+2

-24=-6+2

-24= -4

It is false

Now plug x= -2

8(-2)=2(-2)+2

-16 = -4+2

-16 = -2

This is false

Now plug x= -1

8(-1)=2(-1)+2

-8 = -2+2

-8=0

It is false

Now plug x= 0

8(0)=2(0)+2

0=0+2

0=2

It is false

Now plug x= 1

8(1)=2(1)+2

8=2+2

8=4

False

Now plug x= 2

8(2)=2(2)+2

16=4+2

16=6

False

Now plug x=3

8(3)=2(3)+2

24=6+2

24=8

It is false

It means there is no solution to 8x=2x+2 for the integers values of x between −3 and 3

Part C:

Plot the two given functions on a coordinate plane and identifying the point of intersection(values of the variables which satisfy both equations at a particular point) of the two graphs.

The graph is attached. The point of intersection at x =0.333 and value of y = 2.667....
