Answer:

Since the lines are Perpendicular..

The Product of their Gradients = -1

m'm"=-1

m' from y=3x - 5 is 3

3.m" = -1

m" = -1/3.

Since Intercept on y axis = -2...

That of x at that point is =0

y-y' = m"(x-x")

y-(-2) = -1/3( x - 0)

y+2 = -1/3(x)

Multiplying through by 3

3y + 6 = -x

3y + x = -6. This is your Equation

To verify this.

Let's turn it into the Intercept form which is

x/a + y/b = 1

To get 1 at the right hand side... Divide through by -6

3y/-6 + x/-6 = 1

y/-2 - x/6 = 1

You could see directly below y is its intercept and thats -2

Factor completely: 2x4 − 32.

vazorg [7]

Answer:

Option b) is correct.

The completed factor of given expression is $2(x-2)(x+2)(x^2+4)$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given expression is $2x^4-32$

To find the completed factor for the given expression:

$2x^4-32$ :

Taking the common number "2" outside to the above expression we get

$2x^4-32=2(x^4-16)$

Now rewritting the above expression as below

$=2(x^4-2^4)$ (since 16 can be written as the number 2 to the power of 4)

$=2((x^2)^2-(2^2)^2)$

The above expression is of the form $a^2-b^2=(a+b)(a-b)$

Here $a=x^2$ and $b=2^2$

Therefore it becomes

$=2(x^2+2^2)(x^2-2^2)$

$=2(x^2+4)(x^2-2^2)$

The above expression is of the form $a^2-b^2=(a+b)(a-b)$

Here $a=x$ and $b=2$

Therefore it becomes

$=2(x^2+4)(x+2)(x-2)$

$=2(x+2)(x-2)(x^2+4)$

Therefore $=2(x+2)(x-2)(x^2+4)$

$2x^4-32=2(x-2)(x+2)(x^2+4)$

Option b) is correct.

The completed factor of given expression is $2(x-2)(x+2)(x^2+4)$

An observer, whose eyes are 1.98 m above the ground, is standing 39.2 m away from a tree. The ground is level, and the tree is g

lozanna [386]

Answer:

The tree is 16.25 m tall.

Step-by-step explanation:

Attached is a diagram that better explains the problem.

From the diagram we see that the distance between the top of the tree and the line of sight of the observer is x.

To find the height of the tree, we need to first find x and then add it to the height of the observers line of sight from the ground.

Using SOHCAHTOA trigonometric function:

tan(20) = x/39.2

=> x = 39.2 * tan(20)

x = 39.2 * 0.364

x = 14.27m

Hence, the height of the tree is:

(14.27 + 1.98)m

16.25m

The tree is 16.25 m tall.
