Answer:
x = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
First, you cross multiply then that will give you
9x - 3 = 5x + 5
collect like terms
9x - 5x = +5 + 3
= 4x = 8
Divide both sides by the coefficient of x that's 4
= 2
Answer:
x² + 2x + y² + 4y = 20
(x² + 2x + 1) - 1 + (y² + 4y + 4) - 4 = 20
(x + 2)² + (y + 4)² - 5 = 20
(x + 2)² + (y + 4)² = 25
Therefore, the center is (-2, -4) and the radius is √25 = 5.
The simplest and probably the best way to understand this problem is to make up a problem that obeys what you have been given. It doesn't have to be realistic. It just has to obey the conditions. Let us suppose that you thought the diameter of the tire is 1 yard. That would mean the circumfrence is pi * d
C = 3.14 * 1
That would mean that the circumference is 3.14 yards. It would also mean that you would have to have the wheel turn 1760 yards / /3.14 yards / revolution which is about 561 revolutions / mile. So the way I have set up the problem, my equation is d = 561 * R where R is the number of revolutions.
Now let's see what happens when you say "O my Goodness, the wheel diameter is really 32 inches" which 0.8888888 yards what happens now?
Now you still have to go 1760 yards How many revolutions is that?
C = pi * d
C = 3.14 * 0.88888888
C = 2.79111 yards
How many revolutions does it take to 1760 yards.
R = 1760 // 2.78111 yards / revolution
R = 631 revolutions / mile. What happened?
Your constant goes up if the wheel diameter goes down. Think about this. Do you ride a bicycle? I do. It makes perfect sense to me that if the wheel is small, it will have to turn more often to go a mile. No matter where that 0.00125 comes from or how it was derived, the constant will have to go up if the wheel gets smaller.
Answer:
y=400/300x
Step-by-step explanation:
The slopes of lines perpendicular to each other are opposite reciprocals. So, if you are given that the slope of a line is 3 and need to find the slope of a line perpendicular to that line, you'd flip that number around and negate it, leaving you with -1/3.
To find the slope of the given line, first get it into slope-intercept form (y - mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept).
3y = -4x + 2
y = -4/3x + 2/3
The slope is -4/3. To find the slope of a perpendicular line, find its opposite reciprocal. It is 3/4.
Answer:
3/4 (the first option)
