Answer:

y=.5x-2

Step-by-step explanation:

If one line is perpendicular to another that means that their slopes are negative reciprocals

which means that the slope (or m in y=mx+b) is .5

so far we have

y=.5x+b

to solve for b we plug in (8,2)

2=.5(8)+b

2=4+b

-2=b

therefore our equation is

y=.5x-2

A force of 60 N is used to stretch two springs that are initially the same length. Spring A has a spring constant of 4 N/m, and

Answer:

D:Spring A is 3 m longer than spring B because 15 – 12 = 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, you should remember the Hooke's Law in physics.

The Hooke's Law simply explains that the extension that occurs on a spring is directly proportional to the load applied on it.

The mathematical expression for this law is

$F=-kx$

where;

F= force applied on the spring

x = the extension on the spring

k= the spring constant which varies in spring.

The question will need you to calculate the extension on the springs A and B then compare the values obtained.

In spring A

Force, F=60N and spring constant ,k=4 N/m

To find the extension x apply the expression;

$F=-kx\\\\60=-4*x\\\\60=-4x\\\\\frac{60}{-4} =\frac{-4x}{-4} \\\\\\-15=x$

Here the spring extension is 15 m

In spring B

Force, F=60N and spring constant , k=5N/m

To find the extension x apply the same expression

$F=-kx\\\\60=-5*x\\\\60=-5x\\\\\\\frac{60}{-5} =\frac{-5x}{-5} \\\\\\-12=x$

Here the extension on the spring is 12 m

Compare

The extension on spring A is 3 m longer than that in spring B because when you subtract the value of spring B from that in spring A you get 3m

$=15m-12m=3m$

Write the explicit formula for the geometric sequence 2, 8, 32, 128

Alja [10]

The first term, a, is 2. The common ratio, r, is 4. Thus,

a_(n+1) = 2(4)^(n).

Check: What's the first term? Let n=1. Then we get 2(4)^1, or 8. Is that correct? No.

Try this instead:

a_(n) = a_0*4^(n-1). Is this correct? Seeking the first term (n=1), does this formula produce 2? 2*4^0 = 2*1 = 2. YES.

The desired explicit formula is a_(n) = a_0*4^(n-1), where n begins at 1.

nydimaria [60]

A 4 hours

This is because if you create the equation using $75 which is the starting fee and then $30 for every hour of playing music.

Equation: 75+30h<200
You subtract 75 from 200 and the divide that number by 200 you will get a decimal but you look at your answer choices and choose the closest number to your answer.
