Answer:

y = \frac{3}{2} x-11

Step-by-step explanation:

We are to find the equation a line that passes through the point (8, 1) and which is perpendicular to a line whose equation isy = - \frac{2}{3} x+5.

We know that the slope of line which is perpendicular to another line is the negative reciprocal of the slope of the other line so it will be \frac{3}{2}.

Then, we will find the y-intercept of the line using the standard equation of a line:

y=mx+c

1=\frac{3}{2} (8)+c

c=-11

Therefore, the equation of the line will be y = \frac{3}{2} x-11.

Answer:

Answer: the equation is y'=\frac{3}{2}x'-11

Step-by-step explanation:

A line is given whose equation is given as y=-\frac{2x}{3}+5------(1)

and we have to find the equation of another line which is perpendicular to this.

Let the equation of the line be y'=mx'+c------(2)

This line passes through a point (8,1) so we put the values of x & y in the equation.

⇒ 1 = m×8+c

⇒ 8m+c = 1------(3)

We know that if two lines are perpendicular to each other then multiplication of their slopes is equal to (-1).

Therefore m×(-\frac{2}{3})=(-1)

⇒\frac{2}{3} m=1

⇒m=\frac{3}{2}

Now we put the value of m in equation (3) to get the value of c

8×(\frac{3}{2})+c = 1

12+c=1

c = (-11)

Therefore the equation will be y'=\frac{3}{2}x'+(-11)

KatRina [158]

Answer:

58

Step-by-step explanation:

95 - 55 = 45

2600 / 45 = 57.77778.....

Because you can't sell 0.777778 of a bike you instead sell 58

Joint-Serve Prosthetics spends 43% of its total expenses for payroll. It increased its total expenses when it spent $250,000 for
Leni [432]
Answer: $2,150,000

Explanation: Let

T = Total expenses of Joint-Serve

Then, before the company acquired robotic assemblers, the expenses allocated for payroll is given by

Expenses for Payroll = 43% of Total Expenses
Expenses for Payroll = 0.43T     (1)
(Because 43% = 0.43)

Because the total expenses increased by $250,000 after spending for robotic assemblers, the total expenses = T + 250,000

So, the payroll expense is now calculated as

Expenses for Payroll = 38% of Total Expenses
Expenses for Payroll = 0.38(T + 250,000)     (2)
(Because 38% = 0.38 and total expenses = T + 250,000)

By comparing equations (1) and (2),

0.43T = 0.38(T + 250,000)&#10;\\ 0.43T = 0.38T + 0.38(250,000)&#10;\\ 0.43T = 0.38T + 95,000&#10;\\ 0.43T - 0.38T = 95,000&#10;\\  \frac{0.05T}{0.05}  =  \frac{95,000}{0.05} &#10;\\ \boxed{T = \$ 1,900,000}

Thus, the total expense before the purchase of robotic assemblers is T = $ 1,900,000. Therefore, the total expense after purchasing the robotic assemblers is T + 250,000 = 1,900,000 + 250,000 = $2,150,000

The distance from Earth to the sun, about 1.50 x 10^8 kilometers, is known as an astronomical unit. The nearest star, Proxima Ce
Anvisha [2.4K]

Answer:

Distance from Earth to Proxima Centauri (in scientific notation) = 3.9*10^{16} kilometers

Step-by-step explanation:

We need the conversion between Astronomical Unit and Kilometers.

The conversion is:

1 AU = 1.496*10^8 km

or rounded, given in this problem,

1 AU = 1.5*10^8 km

We need the distance from Earth to Proxima Centauri:

2.6*10^8 AU * 1.5*10^8 kilometers

When multiplying two numbers in scientific notation, we have to "multiply the coefficients" and "add the exponents".

Lets do this:

(2.6*10^8)*(1.5*10^8)\\=(2.6*1.5)*10^{8+8}\\=3.9*10^{16}

Distance from Earth to Proxima Centauri (in scientific notation) = 3.9*10^{16} kilometers

Find the common ratio for the geometric sequence defined by the formula: an=40(2‾√)n−1 a n = 40 ( 2 ) n − 1
WITCHER [35]

The ratio of the geometric sequence 402^{n-1} is 2.

Given that geometric sequence is 40*2^{n-1} and we have to find the common ratio of all the terms.

Geometric sequence is a sequence in which all the terms have a common ratio.

Nth termof a GP is ar^{n-1} in which a is first term and r is common ratio.

Geometric sequence=40*2^{n-1}

We have to first find the first term, second term and third term of a geometric progression.

First term=40*2^{1-1}

=40*2^{0}

=40*1

=40

Second term=40*2^{2-1}

=40*2^{1}

=40*2

=80

Third term=40*2^{3-1}

=40*2^{2}

=40*4

=160

Ratio of first two terms=80/40=2

Ratio of next two terms=160/80=2

Hence the common ratio of geometric sequence is 2.
