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.

How to do question 22?

Aleks04 [339]

Answer:

A = 20sinθ(6 + 5 cosθ) cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

Drop perpendiculars DE and CF to AB.

Then, we have congruent triangles ADE and BCF, plus the rectangle CDEF.

The formula for the area of the trapezium is

A = ½(a + b)h

DE = 10sinθ

AE = 10cosθ

BF = 10cosθ

EF = CD = 12 cm

AB = AE + EF + BF = 10cosθ + 12 + 10 cosθ = 12 + 20cosθ

A = ½(a + b)h

= ½(12 +12 + 20 cosθ) × 10 sinθ

=(24 + 20 cosθ) × 5 sinθ

= 4(6 + 5cosθ) × 5sinθ

= 20sinθ(6 + 5 cosθ) cm²

(3^x-2)/9^x=1/3^x-2/9^x
which converges by thereom
it converges to 10/72=5/36
id show work if i could but take my word,
if u cant solve it try working out a few partial sums
