Answer:
The line is 
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question we are told that
The line is 
The point is P(0,0 )
Generally the equation for a line is 
Now comparing this with the given equation we see that


Generally the slope of the perpendicular to the given line is mathematically evaluated as

=>
=>
Generally from the univesal equation of a line and the given point we have that
y = mx + c at p(0,0) and
is
0 = -4 (0 ) + c
=> c = 0
Hence the equation perpendicular to the line given at the point given is

Answer:
The price for 12 muffins is $10.00
The equation is <span>f(x) = 2x5 - 9x4 + 12x3 - 12x2 + 10x - 3 = 0
remark:
the sum of coefficients is = 2-9+12-12+10-3=-7+7=0, so a=1 is a zero of f
f can be written as </span>f(x) = (x-1)Q(x), and f(x) / (x-1)= Q(x)
after euclid's division
Q(x) = 2x4 - 7x3 + 5x2 - 7x +3
so for finding the other roots, making Q(x) for product of factors is a must
