Answer:

a = -4.

Step-by-step explanation:

If the are perpendicular then the slope of one graph will be - 1 / slope of the other.

Convert each equation to slope-intercept form:

x + 2y + 3 = 0

2y = = -x - 3

y = (-1/2)x - 3/2 (Slope/intercept form)

So the slope of the line perpendicular to this  will be - 1 / (-1/2) = 2.

Consider the other line:

ax + 2y + 3 = 0

2y = -ax - 3

y = (-a/2) x - 3/2 (Slope/intercept form)

So the slope for this line    - a/2 and it equals 2.

-a/2 = 2

-a = 2*2 = 4

a = -4 (answer).

Answer:

No it is not a factor

Step-by-step explanation:

Reason for not being a factor is 3x^3-4x^2-4x. 3x3−4x2−4x 3 x 3 - 4 x 2 - 4 x. Factor x x out of 3x3−4x2−4x 3 x 3 - 4 x 2 - 4 x

Pls write the steps u did​
frez [133]

When two parallel lines are intersected by a transversal, the same-side exterior angles are supplementary. That means that their sum is 180.

Using that logic, if the two roads were parallel, then the sum of their same-side exterior angles will add up to 180. Yet their same-side exterior angles add up to 170 (130 + 40 = 170), hence they can't be parallel.

See the drawing attached below.

Using supplmenatry angles (two angles whose sum of measures add up to 180 or a straight line), we can say that:

m<DIE + m<HID = 18

40 + m<HID = 180

m<HID = 140

Similarly:

m<BHC + m<CHI = 180

130 + m<CHI = 180

m<CHI = 50

Using verticle angles therome, (when two lines intersect, the angles opposite to eachother are congruent, or have the same measure), we can say that:

m<DIE = m<GIH = 40

m<GIE = m<HID = 140

m<CHI = m<AHB = 50

m<BHC = m<AHI = 130

Suppose an automobile manufacturer designed a radically new lightweight engine and wants to recommend the grade of gasoline that
Deffense [45]

Answer:

The F-statistic used to test the hypothesis that the miles per gallon for each fuel are the same is 4.07.

Step-by-step explanation:

There are four treatments in the data given, i.e. k = 4.

Total number of observations, n = 12.

Note: degrees of freedom is denoted as df.

For treatment, the degrees of freedom = k-1 = 4-1 =3 df.

The total degrees of freedom = n-1 = 12-1 = 11 df.

The error in degrees of freedom = df (total) - df(treatment)

The error in degrees of freedom = 11 - 3 = 8 df

At α = 0.05 level,from the F table, the F-statistic with (3 , 8)df is 4.07.

Therefore, the F-statistic used to test the hypothesis that the miles per gallon for each fuel are the same is 4.07.

What is the 32nd term of 311, 305, 299
nata0808 [166]

Answer:

503

Step-by-step explanation:

For an arithmetic sequence, the n-th term is found by

a_n = a_1 + (n - 1)d

To find d (the common difference) we can simply subtract one of the terms by the last, for example:

d = 299 - 305 \\d = -6 \\

The common difference must be the same throughout the entire sequence, so we can do it once more just to be sure:

d = 305 - 311\\d = -6

We also have to know that a_1 stands for the first term of the sequence, which in this case is 311.

Now that we know this, let's find the 32nd term

a_{32} = 311 + (32 - 1)-6\\a_{32} = 311 + 192\\a_{32} = 503

Good luck!
