Can someone help me with this in fully simplified slope-intercept form

For f(x) = -1/5x - 14 find x when f (x) = -8

sergejj [24]

Hi!

30 = x

f(x) = -1/5x - 14 find x when f (x) = -8

Set the equation equal to -8

-8 = -1/5x - 14

Add 14 to both sides.

6 = -1/5x

Multiply both sides by -5.

30 = x

Hope this helps! :D

Write an equation of the line that is perpendicular to 3x + 9y = 7 and passes through the point (6, 4)

andrezito [222]

The perpendicular line will have the x and y coefficients swapped and one of them negated. We can write the desired line as
9(x -6) -3(y -4) = 0
where the coordinates of the point of interest are (6, 4).
Dividing by 3, this is
3(x -6) -(y -4) = 0
3x -y = 14

An equation for the line of interest is ...
3x -y = 14

A rectangle retaining wall has area of 15 square feet.The height of the wall is two feet less than its length.find the height an

Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Answer:

The wall is 3 ft high and 5 ft long.

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall: Area of the rectangular wall is A = (length)(height).

Let the height be represented by h. Then the length is represented by h + 2.

The formula A = (length)(height) then becomes A = h(h+2) = 15 ft², which, written in the standard form of a quadratic equation, is h² + 2h - 15 = 0.

Let's solve this last equation for h using completing the square:

h² + 2h - 15 = 0 becomes h² + 2h + 1 -1 - 15 = 0, or (h + 1)² = 16. Taking the square root of both sides, we get:

h + 1 = ±4, which is equivalent to h = 3 and h = -5. Discard the negative result. Then h = 3 and w = 3+2 = 5.

The wall is 3 ft high and 5 ft long. Its area is (3 ft)(5 ft) = 15 ft²

A mixture of 12 liters of chemical A, 16 liters of chemical B, and 26 liters of chemical C is required to kill a destructive cro

VMariaS [17]

Answer:

From Commercial spray X: 4 liters from Chemical A, 8 liters from Chemical B and 8 liters from Chemical C.
From Commercial spray Y: 18 liters of Chemical C
From Commercial spray Z: 8 liters of Chemical A and 8 liters of Chemical B.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we need a lot of chemical C, we are going to leave Commercial spray Y for last in case we lack in case we need more Chemical C, which is supplied by spray Y.

We need to cover the demand of both chemical A and B. For each liter of Chemical A we get 2 liters of Chemical B by using Commercial spray X. And for each liter of Chemical A we get 2 liters of Chemical B by using spray Z.

We will call X the number of units of Commercial spray X used, where each unit contains 1 liter of Chemical A, 2 liters of Chemical B and 2 iters of Chemical C. Y is the number of units of Commercial spray Y used, containing each of them 1 liter of Chemical C, and Z the number of units of commercial spray Z used, on units containing both 1 liter of Chemical A and Chemical B.

We can represent the amount of liters we have for each chemical on a vector of the form (a,b,c) where a reresents the amount of Chemical A, b the amount of chemical B, and c the amount of chemical C. We want (a,b,c) to be equal to (12,16,26), in other words, we want a to be 12, b to be 16 and c to b 26. Furthermore we can obtain (a,b,c) by using this equation

(a,b,c) = X * (1,2,2) + Y * (0,0,1) + Z * (1,1,0) = (1*X+0*Y+1*Z,2*X+0*Y+1*Z,2*X+1*Y+0*Z) = (X+Z,2*X+Z,2*X+Y)

Thus, we have

a = X+Z = 12
b = 2*X+Z = 16
c = 2*X+Y = 26

We can substract the second equation with the first one to obtain the value of X:

X = b-a = (2*X+Z)-(X+Z) = 16-12 = 4

Replacing X by 4, we obtain on the first expression that 4+Z = 12, hence, Z = 8. Since X is 4, 2*X+Y = 8+Y = 26. This gives us that Y must be 18.

We conclude that we need the following amount of Chemical A, B and C:

From Commercial spray X: 4, 4*2 = 8 and 4*2 = 8 liters respectively
From Commercial spray Y: 18 liters of Chemical C
From Commercial spray Z: 8 liters of Chemical A and 8 liters of Chemical B.
