Lines k and n are perpendicular
The slope of line k is -6
Fact: The product of slopes of two perpendicular lines = -1
So the slope of line n = -1 ÷ -6 = 1/6
The correct choice is 'D.'
CHECK THE ATTACHED FIQURE FOR THE BRIDGE
Answer:
60 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question we know that triangles ABC and EDC are in a 1:1 with this given ratio it implies that
triangles ABC and EDC are congruent then we can say
side EC = side AC
3x + 9 = 5x - 5
Then we can simplify to know value of x
3x + 14= 5x
2x = 14
x = 7
But we know that AC= 5x - 5 , then substitute value of x into it
AC = 5x + 5 = 5(7) - 5
= 35 - 5
AC= 30 ft
Also EC= 3x + 9 then substitute value of x into it
EC = 3x + 9 = 3(7) + 9
= 21 + 9
EC= 30 ft
Then the the distance between the top and bottom of the bridge, in feet, = EC+AC
= 30 + 30 = 60 ft
Use order of operations for this
4x+17=23
Move the 17 to the 23
4x=23-17
Then move the 4 over leaving the x by itself
X=6/4
X=1.5
Let
. Then
, and differentiating both sides with respect to
gives
Now, when
, you get
You have
, so
and
. So
