The equations above are all in the format y = mx + c, where m = the gradient, or slope.

So, in the first question, y = 4x + 2, the gradient would be 4, because 4 is m in this equation (the number before the x).

The gradient of a line perpendicular to this line is equal to the negative reciprocal of the gradient of the line. A better way to explain it is if m = the gradient of the line and <u />m' = the gradient of the perpendicular line then:
m' = - \frac{1}{m}

So in the first question, the gradient of the perpendicular line is - \frac{1}{4}.

Find three consecutive EVEN integers such that the sum of the smallest number and twice the middle number is 20 more than the la
nordsb [41]

define the 3 numbers

smallest number = x

middle number = x + 2

largest number = x + 4

write the equation

sum of the smallest number and twice the middle number

\begin{gathered} x+2(x+2) \\ x+2x+4 \\ 3x+4 \end{gathered}

20 more than the largest number

\begin{gathered} x+4+20 \\ x+24 \end{gathered}

equal the expressions

\begin{gathered} 3x+4=x+24 \\ 3x-x=24-4 \\ 2x=20 \\ x=\frac{20}{2} \\ x=10 \end{gathered}

the numbers should be 10, 12 and 14

\begin{gathered} 10+2\cdot(12)=14+20 \\ 10+24=34 \\ 34=34 \end{gathered}

HELP PLEASE I WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST
Andrei [34K]

Answer:

The slope intercept form is y = mx + b, where b is the y-intercept. In the equation y = 2x - 1, the y-intercept is -1. So, if you have an equation like y = 4x, there is no "b" term. Therefore, the y-intercept is zero, and the line passes through

Given the sequence 1/2 ; 4 ; 1/4 ; 7 ; 1/8 ; 10;.. calculate the sum of 50 terms
miv72 [106K]

<u>Hint </u><u>:</u><u>-</u>

  • Break the given sequence into two parts .
  • Notice the terms at gap of one term beginning from the first term .They are like \dfrac{1}{2},\dfrac{1}{4},\dfrac{1}{8} . Next term is obtained by multiplying half to the previous term .
  • Notice the terms beginning from 2nd term , 4,7,10,13 . Next term is obtained by adding 3 to the previous term .

<u>Solution</u><u> </u><u>:</u><u>-</u><u> </u>

We need to find out the sum of 50 terms of the given sequence . After splitting the given sequence ,

\implies S_1 = \dfrac{1}{2},\dfrac{1}{4},\dfrac{1}{8} .

We can see that this is in <u>Geometric</u><u> </u><u>Progression </u> where 1/2 is the common ratio . Calculating the sum of 25 terms , we have ,

\implies S_1 = a\dfrac{1-r^n}{1-r} \\\\\implies S_1 = \dfrac{1}{2}\left[ \dfrac{1-\bigg(\dfrac{1}{2}\bigg)^{25}}{1-\dfrac{1}{2}}\right]

Notice the term \dfrac{1}{2^{25}} will be too small , so we can neglect it and take its approximation as 0 .

\implies S_1\approx \cancel{ \dfrac{1}{2} } \left[ \dfrac{1-0}{\cancel{\dfrac{1}{2} }}\right]

\\\implies \boxed{ S_1 \approx 1 }

\rule{200}2

Now the second sequence is in Arithmetic Progression , with common difference = 3 .

\implies S_2=\dfrac{n}{2}[2a + (n-1)d]

Substitute ,

\implies S_2=\dfrac{25}{2}[2(4) + (25-1)3] =\boxed{ 908}

Hence sum = 908 + 1 = 909

Solve for x: −3|2x + 6| = −12
spayn [35]

Start with

-3|2x+6|=-12

Divide both sides by -3

|2x+6|=4

If the absolute value of a number is 4, that number can either be 4 or -4: we have the two solutions

2x+6=4 \iff 2x=-2 \iff x=-1

2x+6=-4 \iff 2x=-10 \iff x=-5
