Write an equation of the line with the given slope that contains the given point.

Mathematics
1 answer:
Alchen [17]2 years ago
3 0

Answer:

y=-2x+12

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use the point-slope form given by:

y-y_1=m(x-x_1)

Where <em>m</em> is the slope and (x₁, y₁) is a point.

So, we will substitute -2 for <em>m</em> and (5, 2) for (x₁, y₁). This gives us:

y-(2)=-2(x-(5))

Simplify:

y-2=-2(x-5)

Distribute:

y-2=-2x+10

Add 2 to both sides. Hence, our equation is:

y=-2x+12

a famer has 120 feet of fencing with whcih to enclose two adjacent rectangular pens as shown. what dimeensions should be used th
Nat2105 [25]

The dimensions of the rectangular pen should be 15 by 20 feet and the maximum area is 1200 square feet.

Let the area be y .

Area = (base) × (height)

Base = 2x

Height = h

Let the area of the rectangular pens be y .

∴ y = 2xh

Perimeter of all the fencing = 4x+3h

∴ 4x+3h = 120

now we solve for h

3h = 120-4x

h = 40 - 4/3 x

Now we will substitute this value in the above first equation:

y = 2xh

or, y = 2x (40 - 4/3 x)

or, y = 80x - 8/3 x²

Now for the maximum area we have to find the first order differentiation of y

now,

dy /dx = 80 - 16/3 x

At dy/dx = 0 we get the value of x for which y is maximum.

80 - 16/3 x = 0

or, - 16/3 x = -80

or, x = 15 feet

Hence height =  40 - 4/3 x = 40 - 20 = 20feet

Maximum area = 2xh = 2×15×40 = 1200 square feet

The dimensions of the rectangular pen should be 15 by 20 feet and the maximum area is 1200 square feet.

Factor the polynomial, x2 + 5x + 6
patriot [66]

Answer:

Choice b.

x^{2} + 5\, x + 6 = (x + 3)\, (x + 2).

Step-by-step explanation:

The highest power of the variable x in this polynomial is 2. In other words, this polynomial is quadratic.

It is thus possible to apply the quadratic formula to find the "roots" of this polynomial. (A root of a polynomial is a value of the variable that would set the polynomial to 0.)

After finding these roots, it would be possible to factorize this polynomial using the Factor Theorem.

Apply the quadratic formula to find the two roots that would set this quadratic polynomial to 0. The discriminant of this polynomial is (5^{2} - 4 \times 1 \times 6) = 1.

\begin{aligned}x_{1} &= \frac{-5 + \sqrt{1}}{2\times 1} \\ &= \frac{-5 + 1}{2} \\ &= -2\end{aligned}.

Similarly:

\begin{aligned}x_{2} &= \frac{-5 - \sqrt{1}}{2\times 1} \\ &= \frac{-5 - 1}{2} \\ &= -3\end{aligned}.

By the Factor Theorem, if x = x_{0} is a root of a polynomial, then (x - x_0) would be a factor of that polynomial. Note the minus sign between x and x_{0}.

  • The root x = -2 corresponds to the factor (x - (-2)), which simplifies to (x + 2).
  • The root x = -3 corresponds to the factor (x - (-3)), which simplifies to (x + 3).

Verify that (x + 2)\, (x + 3) indeed expands to the original polynomial:

\begin{aligned}& (x + 2)\, (x + 3) \\ =\; & x^{2} + 2\, x + 3\, x + 6 \\ =\; & x^{2} + 5\, x + 6\end{aligned}.

Mary​'s car will go 261 miles on 14.5 gallons of gasoline in highway driving.
suter [353]

Answer:

a) 91 1/6 gallons

b) 2502 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

You are given a number of miles and a number of gallons for the car. The ratio of these numbers is ...

  (261 mi)/(14.5 gal) = 18 mi/gal

We presume this value is constant for this car. Then the questions can be answered by forming and solving a proportion:

a) 1641 miles/(gallons) = 18 mi/(1 gal)

Multiplying by gallons and dividing by 18 mi/gal, we get

  1641/18 gal = (gallons) = 91 1/6 gal

It will take 91 1/6 gallons of gasoline for Mary to drive to her friend's house.

___

b) Same deal, but the miles are unknown.

  (miles)/(139 gal) = (18 mi)/(1 gal)

Multiplying by 139 gal gives ...

  (18 mi)·139 = (miles) = 2502 mi

139 gallons of gasoline will let Mary drive 2502 miles.

A theater group made appearances into cities the hotel charge before tax and the second city was 1500 higher than the first the
Svetlanka [38]

Answer:

The hotel charge in each city before tax was <u>$5125</u> of the first city and <u>$3625</u> of the second city.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

A theater group made appearances into cities the hotel charge before tax and the second city was 1500 higher than the first.

The tax of the first city was 6% and the tax of the second city was 10%.

Total hotel tax paid for two cities with $670.

Now, to find the hotel charge in each city before tax.

Let the hotel charge in first city before tax be x.

And the hotel charge in second city before tax be y.

<em>So, as the hotel charge of the second city was 1500 higher than the first.</em>

<em>Thus</em>,

y=x-1500   ........(1)

<em>And as given, the tax of the first city was 6% and the tax of the second city was 10%, total hotel tax paid for two cities with $670.</em>

6% of x + 10% of y = $670.

\frac{6x}{100} +\frac{10y}{100} =670

0.06x+0.10y=670

Substituting the value of y from equation (1) we get:

0.06x+0.10(x-1500)=670

0.06x+0.10x-150=670

0.16x-150=670

<em>Adding both sides by 150 we get:</em>

0.16x=820

<em>Dividing both sides by 0.16 we get:</em>

x=5125.

<em>The hotel charge in first city before tax = $5125.</em>

Now, substituting the value of x in equation (1) we get:

y=x-1500

y=5125-1500

y=3625.

<em>The hotel charge in second city before tax = $3625.</em>

Therefore, the hotel charge in each city before tax was $5125 of the first city and $3625 of the second city.
