<h3>Answer:  C) 4/7</h3>

Explanation:

The given equation is in the form y = mx+b with slope m = -7/4

Take the negative reciprocal of this to get 4/7. We simply flip the fraction and the sign (from negative to positive).

Note that multiplying any original slope with its perpendicular counterpart, will always get you -1

(-7/4)*(4/7) = -1

This applies to lines that are not vertical and not horizontal.

Answer:

C.

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of the given line is -7/4

Let the slope we want be m :

Then m * -7/4 = -1        ( as the slopes of perpendicular lines have  a product of -1)

m = -1 / -7/4

= 1 * 4/7

= 4/7.

Select the two values of x that are roots of this equation. x^2+2x-4=0
GuDViN [60]

Answer:

\large\boxed{x=-1\pm\sqrt5}

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2+2x-4=0\qquad\text{add 4 to both sides}\\\\x^2+2x=4\\\\x^2+2(x)(1)=4\qquad\text{add}\ 1^2=1\ \text{to both sides}\\\\\underbrace{x^2+2(x)(1)+1^2}=4+1^2\qquad\text{use}\ (a+b)^2=a^2+2ab+b^2\\\\(x+1)^2=5\to x+1=\pm\sqrt5\qquad\text{subtract 1 from both sides}\\\\x=-1\pm\sqrt5

vampirchik [111]

Answer:

78 dollars

Step-by-step explanation:

Function c is defined by the equation c(n) = 50 + 4n. It gives the monthly cost, in dollars, of visiting a gym as a function of the number of visits, n. Find the value of c(7).

Given:

c(n) = 50 + 4n

Where,

c = monthly cost of visiting a gym

n = number of visits

Find the value of c(7)

That is, when n = 7

c(n) = 50 + 4n

c(7) = 50 + 4(7)

= 50 + 28

= 78

c(7) = 78 dollars

Suppose you pick 6 different numbers in [10]. Prove that 2 of the numbers are next to each other. (Hint: use the pigeonhole prin
Masja [62]

Step-by-step explanation:

We are picking 6 numbers from the numbers 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10. Since we care about numbers being next to each other, we might think of the 10 numbers as being distributed in 5 boxes (which you can think of as the holes):

|   1 2   |   3 4   |   5 6   |   7 8   |   9 10  |

So on the first box we have the numbers 1 and 2, on the second box we have the numbers 3 and 4, and so on. Since we are picking 6 numbers from those 10 numbers, that means we'll have to pick 6 boxes (and inside each box we pick a number), but we only have 5 available boxes, so by the pigeonhole principle, we'll have to pick 1 same box at least two times. Since on each picked box we'll need to pick a number, on this box which was picked two times, we will have to pick both of its numbers. And so those 2 numbers inside that box will be next to each other (meaning they're consecutive numbers).
