If 2x - 5y – 7 = 0 is perpendicular to the line ax - y - 3 = 0 what is the value of a ?

Mathematics
1 answer:
faltersainse [42]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

D) a = - 5/2

Step-by-step explanation:

2x -5y - 7 = 0

5y = 2x - 7

y = 2/5 x - 7

the slope of this line is therefore 2/5 (factor of x).

the perpendicular slope is then (exchange y and x and flip the sign) -5/2, which is then a and the factor of x.

A hose is leaking water at a rate of 2 oz/h. How many cups of water will leak out after 2 weeks?
Over [174]

Answer:

84 cups of water will leak out after 2 weeks

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets how many how to change oz to cup

- One cup contains 8 oz

- We can use the ratio to solve this problem

- A hose is leaking water at a rate of 2 oz/h

- We need to find how many cups of water will leak out after 2 weeks

∵ The rate of the water leak out is 2 oz/hr

∵ 1 cup contains 8 oz

∴ 1 oz = \frac{1}{8} cup

∴ 2 oz = 2 × \frac{1}{8} = \frac{2}{8} = \frac{1}{4} cup

∴ The rate of the water leak out = \frac{1}{4} cup/h

∵ 1 day = 24 hours

∵ 1 week = 7 days

∴ 1 week = 7 × 24 = 168 hours

∵ The number of hours in 1 week is 168

∴ The number of hours in 2 weeks = 168 × 2 = 336 hours

⇒    cups    :    hours

⇒      \frac{1}{4}         :   1

⇒     x         :    336

- By using cross multiplication

∴ x = 336 × \frac{1}{4}

∴ x = 84

- x represents the number of cups of water leak out

<em>84 cups of water will leak out after 2 weeks</em>

Work out the volume of the shape​
pashok25 [27]

Answer:

\large\boxed{V=\dfrac{1,421\pi}{3}\ cm^3}

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the cone and the half-sphere.

The formula of a volume of a cone:

V_c=\dfrac{1}{3}\pi r^2H

r - radius

H - height

We have r = 7cm and H = (22-7)cm=15cm. Substitute:

V_c=\dfrac{1}{3}\pi(7^2)(15)=\dfrac{1}{3}\pi(49)(15)=\dfrac{735\pi}{3}\ cm^3

The formula of a volume of a sphere:

V_s=\dfrac{4}{3}\pi R^3

R - radius

Therefore the formula of a volume of a half-sphere:

V_{hs}=\dfrac{1}{2}\cdot\dfrac{4}{3}\pi R^3=\dfrac{2}{3}\pi R^3

We have R = 7cm. Substitute:

V_{hs}=\dfrac{2}{3}\pi(7^3)=\dfrac{2}{3}\pi(343)=\dfrac{686\pi}{3}\ cm^3

The volume of the given shape:

V=V_c+V_{hs}

Substitute:

V=\dfrac{735\pi}{3}+\dfrac{686\pi}{3}=\dfrac{1,421\pi}{3}\ cm^3
