Which equation represents a line which is perpendicular to the line y = 5x - 8?

1 answer:

6 0

When two equations are perpendicular their slopes are 90° apart. In the equation y=5x-8 the slope is 5. The perpendicular slope is negative and the inverse of the given slope. So in this case the perpendicular line will have the slope = - 1/5

Jillians annual salary as an actress is $35,000. She receives a paycheck every two weeks. What is jillians biweekly salary?

netineya [11]

There are 52 weeks in a year and if she gets paid every two weeks then divide 52 by 2 to get 26 so she would get paid 26 times a year so divide her annual salary by 26 to get $1,346.15 every other week. So her biweekly salary is $1,346.15.

You are designing a rectangular garden. the garden will be enclosed by fencing on three sides and by a house on the fourth side.

RUDIKE [14]

Suppose the dimensions of the rectangle is x by y and let the side enclosed by a house be one of the sides measuring x, then the sides that is to be enclosed are two sides measuring y and one side measuring x.

Thus, the length of fencing needed is given by

P = x + 2y

The area of the rectangle is given by xy,

i.e.

$xy = 288 \\ \\ \\ \\ \Rightarrow y= \frac{288}{x}$

Substituting for y into the equation for the length of fencing needed, we have

$P=x+2\left( \frac{288}{x} \right)=x+ \frac{576}{x}$

For the amount of fencing to be minimum, then

$\frac{dP}{dx} =0 \\ \\ \Rightarrow1- \frac{576}{x^2} =0 \\ \\ \Rightarrow \frac{576}{x^2} =1 \\ \\ \Rightarrow x^2=576 \\ \\ \Rightarrow x=\sqrt{576}=24$

Now, recall that

$y= \frac{288}{x} = \frac{288}{24} =12$

Thus, the length of fencing needed is given by

P = x + 2y = 24 + 2(12) = 24 + 24 = 48.

Therefore, 48 feets of fencing is needed to enclose the garden.
