What is the slope of a line that is perpendicular to the line with equation 12x+3y=9?

Mathematics

Answer:

The slope would be 1/4.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the perpendicular slope first you have to set this equation to y

to do this you use the subtraction prop of equality and you will get 12x-9= -3y

then you divide by -3 on both sides to get y by itself

you will get -4x+3=y

now that you know the slope is -4, you must find the negative reciprocal slope of this which means you have to flip the numerator and denominator and make the sign its opposite.

The perpendicular slope would then be 1/4.

Use the function below to find F(1).<br> F(t) = 2•1/2^3t
stiv31 [10]

Answer:

D) 1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this, first lets figure out what this variable is. We know we must multiply by t. Well, looking at it, we know that t is one. So lets plug that in.

2*1/2^3(1)

Now we need to figure out what the exponent is that 2 will be raised to. To find that, find out what 3 times one is.

2*1/2^3

Now we need to solve the exponent.

2*1/8

Remember, 2 cubed is eight.

Now we need to find out what 2*1/8 is. To solve this more easily, I am going to turn two into a fraction. This will give us 2/1*1/8. Now we cross multiply, multiplying the numerators by the numerators, and the denominators by the denominators. Remember, the numerator is the top number, and the denominator is the bottom number.

If we do that, we get:

2/8

If we simplify it, we get 1/4. So the asnwer is D) 1/4
