A line that contains the point (-8,-1) and is perpendicular to -15x +3y = 9

Mathematics

Put the other line in point slope form...(solve for y :D )

3y=15x+9

y=5x+3, so this line has a slope of 5

For a line to be perpendicular to another the slopes have to be negative reciprocals of each other...mathematically...

s1*s2=-1

So for the other line to be perpendicular to the first:

5m=-1, m=-1/5, thus our other line (so far) is:

y=b-x/5, now we can use the point (-8,-1) to solve for the y-intercept, "b":

-1=b-(-8)/5

-1=b+8/5

-1=b+1.6

b=-2.6

So the perpendicular line that contains the point (-8,-1) is:

y=-0.2x-2.6

Four times a first number decreased by a second number is - 14. The first
mel-nik [20]

Answer:

f = -5, s = -6

Step-by-step explanation:

F= first number

S= second number

4f - s = -14

f + 3s = -23

3(4f - s = -14)

12f - 3s = -42

+ f + 3s = -23

13f = -65

————

13

f = -5

4f - s = -14

4(-5) - s = -14

-20 - s = -14

+20 +20

-s = 6

———

-1

s = -6

A mass weighing 3 lb stretches a spring 3 in. If the mass is pushed upward, contracting the spring a distance of 1 in and then s
Bas_tet [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

m=\frac{3}{32}\\ \gamma =0\text{ damping constant.}\\ k=\frac{3}{\frac{1}{4}}=12\\ F(t)=0\\ \text{so equation of motion is }\\ mu''+\gamma u'+ku=F(t)\\ \frac{3u''}{32}+12u=0\\ u''+128u=0\\ \text{and initial conditions are}\\ u(0)=-\frac{1}{12}\\ u'(0)=2\\ u''+128u=0\\ \text{characterstic equation is}\\ r^2+128=0\\ \text{roots are }\\ r=\pm 8\sqrt{2}i\\ \text{therefore general solution is}\\ u(t)=A\cos8\sqrt{2}t+Bsin8\sqrt{2}t\\ \text{using initial conditions we get}\\ A=-\frac{1}{12}\\ B=\frac{\sqrt{2}}{8}\\ \text{therefore solution is }\\ u(t)=-\frac{1}{12}\cos8\sqrt{2}t+\frac{\sqrt{2}}{8}\sin8\sqrt{2}t\\&#10;{hence}\\R=\sqrt{\frac{11}{288}}\\\\\sigma=\pi - \tan^{-1}\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\\\\\omega_0=8\sqrt{2}\\T=\frac{4}{4\sqrt{2}}
