Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

From the condition of perpendicularity, for two lines to be perpendicular to each other the product of their gradients must equal to ( -1 ).

Same time, equation of a straight line is ; y = mx+ c where m us the gradient and c is the point of intersection of the line on y axis. Therefore, the gradient of this equation m1 ,= -5 and the gradient m2 of the second line will be 1/5. Therefore, the equation of the second line perpendicular to

y = -5x + 6 ; y = x/5 + 6 .

Therefore, y = x/5 + 6 is the new equation.

Answer:

102.62

Step-by-step explanation:

I converted everything to inches and then solved for x by putting 58 in. over 66 in. (the girls shadow in in.) and the X in. over 1500 in. I cross multiplied (58 x 1500 and 68 x X) and then divided 68 by the result of 58 x 1500.

Find the roots of:

$\large\displaystyle\text{$\begin{gathered}\sf \pmb{1) \ 2x^3-7x^2+8x-3=0 } \end{gathered}$}$

Synthetic division is used since the equation is of the third degree. The divisors of -3 are 1, -1, 3, +3. So:

| 2 -7 8 -3

1 | 2 -5 3

| 2 -5 3 0

1 | 2 -3

2 -3 0

So the factorization is (x-1)² (2x-3)=0. So:

$\bf{ x_1=x_2=1 \qquad x_2=\dfrac{3}{2} }$

$\large\displaystyle\text{$\begin{gathered}\sf \pmb{2) \ x^3-x^2-4=0 } \end{gathered}$}$

Synthetic division is used since the equation is of the third degree. The divisors of -4 are 1, -1, 2, -2, 4, -4. So:

| 1 -1 0 -4

2 | 2 2

1 2 2 0

So the factorization is (x-2)(x²+x+2)=0 . When calculating the discriminant of the trinomial, it is concluded that it has no roots since the result is negative. So you only have one solution.

$\bf{ 1^2-4(2)(2)=1-16=-15 < 0 \quad \Longrightarrow \quad x=2 }$

$\large\displaystyle\text{$\begin{gathered}\sf \pmb{3) \ 6x^3+7x^2-9x+2=0 } \end{gathered}$}$

Synthetic division is used since the equation is of the third degree. The divisors of 2 are 1, -1, 2, -2. So:

| 6 7 9 2

-2 | -12 10 -2

6 -5 1 0

So the factorization is (x+2)(6x²-5x+1)=0 . The quadratic equation is solved by the general formula:

$\bf{ x_{2, 3}&=\dfrac{5\pm \sqrt{(5)^2-4(6)(1)}}{2(6)}=\dfrac{5\pm \sqrt{25-24}}{12}=\dfrac{5\pm 1}{12} }}$

$\large\displaystyle\text{$\begin{gathered}\sf \begin{matrix} x_1=-2&\ \ \ \ \ \ x_{2}=\dfrac{6}{12} \qquad &\ \ \ x_3=\dfrac{4}{12}\\ &\ \ \ x_2=\dfrac{1}{2} \qquad &x_3=\dfrac{1}{3} \end{matrix} \end{gathered}$}$

Peter mixes 4 1/2 cups of orange juice, 2 1/4 of ginger ale and 6 1/3 cups of strawberry lemonade to make some punch. What is th

ruslelena [56]

To add these amounts together, we must first find their least common multiple in order to get common denominators (b/c when you add fractions, the denominators must be the same).

We'll start by listing some of their multiples.
To do this, count by whatever the denominator is:
4 1/2 (denominator is 2): 2 4 6 8 10 12 14
2 1/4 (denominator is 4): 4 8 12 16
6 1/3 (denominator is 3): 3 6 9 12 15

Look and see which is the first multiple that all three denominators have. Circle them if it helps you. In this case, it's 12.

So now we have to multiply the denominators by whatever number it takes to reach 12, and multiply by the same number to the numerator:

4 1/2 (times 6 to both top and bottom) =
4 6/12

2 1/4 (times 3) = 2 3/12

6 1/3 (times 4) = 6 4/12

Add all these fractions together, and you get 12 13/12, which is equal to 13 1/12.

Thus, Peter makes a total of 13 1/2 cups.

Hope this made sense! tell me if anything is confusing/incorrect :))
