Answer:

PQ and RS are parallel to each other

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope of two points (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) is given by

slope = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

for two lines to be parallel slope should be equal
for two lines to be perpendicular product of slope should be -1
_______________________________________________

Lets find the slope of PQ and RS

for PQ P(2, -1), Q(-3,-1), R(-11, 9), S(-7, 9)

slope PQ = (-1 -(-1))/(-3 -2) = (-1 + 1)/5 = 0/5 = 0

Slope RS = (9-9)/(-7 - (-11) ) = 0/4 = 0

Since

slope PQ = slope RS = 0

Hence PQ and RS are parallel to each other

THERE ARE 3 BAGS OF APPLES WEIGHING A TOTAL OF 22 1/2 POUNDS. TWO OF THE BAGS WEIGH 6 3/8 POUNDS AND 3 1/4 POUNDS. HOW MUCH DOES

Mkey [24]

I wasn't going to click on this one, but the all-caps enthralled me and hypnotized me.

first off, let's change all the mixed fractions to "improper" and proceed from there, keep in mind that if we subtract the two bags' weight from the total, what's leftover is the 3rd bag's weight.

$\bf \stackrel{mixed}{22\frac{1}{2}}\implies \cfrac{22\cdot 2+1}{2}\implies \stackrel{improper}{\cfrac{45}{2}}
\\\\\\
\stackrel{mixed}{6\frac{3}{8}}\implies \cfrac{6\cdot 8+3}{8}\implies \stackrel{improper}{\cfrac{51}{8}}
\\\\\\
\stackrel{mixed}{3\frac{1}{4}}\implies \cfrac{3\cdot 4+1}{4}\implies \stackrel{improper}{\cfrac{13}{4}}\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\$

$\bf \stackrel{\textit{sum of the two bags}}{\cfrac{51}{8}+\cfrac{13}{4}}\impliedby \textit{our LCD is 8}\implies \cfrac{(1)51+(2)13}{8}
\\\\\\
\cfrac{51+26}{8}\implies \cfrac{77}{8}\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\
\stackrel{total}{\cfrac{45}{2}}~-~\stackrel{two~bags}{\cfrac{77}{8}}\impliedby \textit{our LCD is again 8}\implies \cfrac{(4)45-(1)77}{8}
\\\\\\
\cfrac{180~~-~~77}{8}\implies \cfrac{103}{8}\implies \stackrel{third~bag}{12\frac{7}{8}}$

Help please explain

Given:

$\sin^{-1}\left(\dfrac{5}{8}\right)=A$

To find:

The correct equivalent equation.

Solution:

We have,

$\sin^{-1}\left(\dfrac{5}{8}\right)=A$

Taking sin on both sides, we get

$\sin \sin^{-1}\left(\dfrac{5}{8}\right)=\sin A$

$\dfrac{5}{8}=\sin A$ $[\because \sin (\sin^{-1}\theta )=\theta]$

Interchanging the sides, we get

$\sin A=\dfrac{5}{8}$

Therefore, the correct option is 4.

List the steps that should be used to solve the equation f(x) = g(x) by graphing when f(x) = (1/2)² - 3 and g(x) = 3x + 5?

jolli1 [7]

value of x is: $x=\frac{-31}{12}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to solve the equation f(x)=g(x)

where $f(x)=(\frac{1}{2})^2-3$

and $g(x) = 3x + 5$

Solving to find f(x)=g(x)

Putting values of f(x) and g(x)

$f(x)=g(x)\\(\frac{1}{2})^2-3=3x + 5\\\frac{1}{4}-3=3x + 5\\Subtarct\,\,5\,\,on\,\,both\,\,sides:\\\frac{1}{4}-3-5=3x + 5-5\\\frac{1}{4}-8=3x\\Taking\,\,LCm\,\,on\,\,left\,\,side\\\frac{1-8*4}{4}=3x\\\frac{-31}{4}=3x\\Divide\,\,both\,\,sides\,\,by\,\,3\\x=\frac{-31}{4*3}\\x=\frac{-31}{12}$

So, value of x is: $x=\frac{-31}{12}$

The graph will be a straight line x= -2.58 or x = -31/12
