Find the equation of the line passing through point (4,2) and perpendicular to AB

Mathematics

Answer:

a. -⅓

b. 3

c. y = 3x - 10

Step-by-step explanation:

a. Gradient of line AB:

A(1, 3), B(7, 1)

Gradient = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} = \frac{1 - 3}{7 - 1} = \frac{-2}{6} = -\frac{1}{3}

Gradient (m) = -⅓

b. The of the line that is perpendicular to line AB would be the negative reciprocal of the gradient of line AB.

Thus, the negative reciprocal of -⅓ = 3

Gradient of the line perpendicular to line AB = 3

c. Equation of the line that passes through (4, 2) and is perpendicular to line AB:

We can write the equation using the point-slope form equation, y - b = m(x - a), where,

(a, b) represents a point on the line, and,

m = gradient/slope

We know that the gradient/slope (m) = 3

Also, a point, (a, b) = (4, 2).

Therefore, substitute a = 4, b = 2, and m = 3 into y - b = m(x - a)

Thus:

y - 2 = 3(x - 4)

y - 2 = 3x - 12

Add 2 to both sides

y = 3x - 12 + 2

y = 3x - 10

Answer:

Choice B: BD/DA = CE/EA

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope is rise over run. For the two slopes to be equal, the rise over run of the two triangles must be equal.

The rise over run for triangle ABD is BD/DA.

The rise over run of triangle ACE is CE/EA.

For the slopes to be equal, BD/DA = CE/EA

Answer: Choice B.

Solve for x. (e^x-e^-x)/((e^x+e^-x)=t
Sergio [31]
\dfrac{e^x-e^{-x}}{e^x+e^{-x}}=t\\\\
\dfrac{e^{2x}-1}{e^{2x}+1}=t\\\\
e^{2x}-1=t(e^{2x}+1)\\\\
e^{2x}-1=e^{2x}t+t\\\\
e^{2x}-e^{2x}t=t+1\\\\
e^{2x}(1-t)=t+1\\\\
e^{2x}=\dfrac{t+1}{1-t}\\\\
e^{2x}=-\dfrac{t+1}{t-1}\\\\
2x=\ln\left(-\dfrac{t+1}{t-1}\right)\\\\
x=\dfrac{\ln\left(-\dfrac{t+1}{t-1}\right)}{2}\qquad t\in(-1,1)
