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

Solve the equation
Vikki [24]

Answer:

x ≈ - 5.32, x ≈ 1.32

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

x² + 4x - 7 = 0 ( add 7 to both sides )

x² + 4x = 7

To complete the square

add ( half the coefficient of the x- term )² to both sides

x² + 2(2)x + 4 = 7 + 4

(x + 2)² = 11 ( take the square root of both sides )

x + 2 = ± \sqrt{11} ( subtract 2 from both sides )

x = - 2 ± \sqrt{11}

Thus

x = - 2 - \sqrt{11} ≈ - 5.32 ( to 2 dec. places )

x = - 2 + \sqrt{11} ≈ 1.32 ( to 2 dec. places )

The circumference of a sphere was measured to be 76 cm with a possible error of 0.5 cm. (a) Use differentials to estimate the ma
andreev551 [17]

The maximum error in the calculated surface area is 24.19cm² and the relative error is 0.0132.

Given that the circumference of a sphere is 76cm and error is 0.5cm.

The formula of the surface area of a sphere is A=4πr².

Differentiate both sides with respect to r and get

dA÷dr=2×4πr

dA÷dr=8πr

dA=8πr×dr

The circumference of a sphere is C=2πr.

From above the find the value of r is

r=C÷(2π)

By using the error in circumference relation to error in radius by:

Differentiate both sides with respect to r as

dr÷dr=dC÷(2πdr)

1=dC÷(2πdr)

dr=dC÷(2π)

The maximum error in surface area is simplified as:

Substitute the value of dr in dA as

dA=8πr×(dC÷(2π))

Cancel π from both numerator and denominator and simplify it

dA=4rdC

Substitute the value of r=C÷(2π) in above and get

dA=4dC×(C÷2π)

dA=(2CdC)÷π

Here, C=76cm and dC=0.5cm.

Substitute this in above as

dA=(2×76×0.5)÷π

dA=76÷π

dA=24.19cm².

Find relative error as the relative error is between the value of the Area and the maximum error, therefore:

\begin{aligned}\frac{dA}{A}&=\frac{8\pi rdr}{4\pi r^2}\\ \frac{dA}{A}&=\frac{2dr}{r}\end

As above its found that r=C÷(2π) and r=dC÷(2π).

Substitute this in the above

\begin{aligned}\frac{dA}{A}&=\frac{\frac{2dC}{2\pi}}{\frac{C}{2\pi}}\\ &=\frac{2dC}{C}\\ &=\frac{2\times 0.5}{76}\\ &=0.0132\end

Hence, the maximum error in the calculated surface area with the circumference of a sphere was measured to be 76 cm with a possible error of 0.5 cm is 24.19cm² and the relative error is 0.0132.
