Is the line through points P(2,-9) and Q(6, -13) perpendicular to the line through points R(5,-1) and

1 answer:

8 0

Line through P(0, 5) and Q(-1, 8):
slope = m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1) = (8 - 5) / (-1 - 0) = 3 / -1 = -3

line through R(3, 3) and S(5, -1):
slope = m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1) = (-1 - 3) / (5 - 3) = -4 / 2 = -2

Parallel lines have equal slopes. Since the two lines have different slopes, they are not parallel.

A fruit fly experiment starts with 600 flies. If the number of flies after x days is given by the function P(x)=600e^0.3x, how m

slega [8]

Since ln(x) is the inverse of e^x and we want to find out when P(x)=1000, we will substitute P(x) by 1000 and then solve for x days.

1600e^0.3x = 1000

Divide 600 for both sides you will get:

5/3 = e^0.3x

Multiply ( ln ) for both sides and then divide by 0.3.

(ln 5/3)/(0.3) = x

x = 1.7

So there will be 1000 flies in approximately 1.7 days
