Given situation: Mr. jones received 70% of the 1500 vote casts in an election Question and solution => How many votes did Mr Jones received: => 1 500 is the total number of voters and 70% of it voted Mr. Jones. SO let’s start solving to get the number of voters who voted him. => 70% = 70 / 100 = .70 => 1 500 * .70 => 1 050 , the number of voters who voted him in an election.

If a line has a slope of 2 and contains the point (-2,1), what is its equation in point-slope form?

kondaur [170]

The equation for slope is y=mx+b. slope is m. 2 is the slope. so you know the m part of the equation is 2. just by eliminating the answers that don’t have 2 as the slope, A is your answer.

Sin x + $\frac{cos x}{sinx cosx}$
= sinx + $\frac{1}{sin x}$
= $sin^{2}x$ +1
= $cos^{2} x$

Given two points M & N on the coordinate plane, find the slope of MN , and state the slope of the line perpendicular to MN .

telo118 [61]

Answer:

Problem 1) $m = \dfrac{1}{4}$ $slope_{perpendicular} = -4$

Problem 2) $m = \dfrac{1}{3}$ $slope_{perpendicular} = -3$

Step-by-step explanation:

$slope = m = \dfrac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}$

$slope_{perpendicular} = \dfrac{-1}{m}$

Problem 1) M(9,6), N(1,4)

$slope = m = \dfrac{6 - 4}{9 - 1} = \dfrac{2}{8} = \dfrac{1}{4}$

$slope_{perpendicular} = \dfrac{-1}{\frac{1}{4}} = -4$

Problem 2) M(-2,2), N(4,-4)

$slope = m = \dfrac{4 - 2}{4 - (-2)} = \dfrac{2}{6} = \dfrac{1}{3}$

$slope_{perpendicular} = \dfrac{-1}{\frac{1}{3}} = -3$

Fertilizer is sold in 100 pound bags labelled with the amount of nitrogen ( N), phosphoric acid ( P2O5), and potash ( K2O) prese

Grace [21]

Answer:

For Vigoro are needed

2929*35.8479 ≅ 104,988.49 (N)

33*3.4351≅113.35 (A)

44*31.2181≅1373.59 (P)

For Parkera are needed

1818*35.8479≅65,171.48 (N)

2525*3.4351≅8673.62 (A)

66*31.2181≅2060.39 (P)

Step-by-step explanation:

we have that in every 100100 pounds of compound nitrogen (N), phosphoric acid (A) and potash (P) are present and that according to the product brand the concentrations vary, therefore:

For Vigoro

2929 N, 33 A, 44 P

For Parkeras

1818 N, 2525 A, 66 P

Now, we need 170170 N, 8787 A and 3434 P of final product containing the components of the types of fertilizers

You can see that the compounds are the same what changes are the proportions from there that

2929N+1818N=170170 ⇒ 4747N=170170 ⇒ N=170170/4747 ≅ 35.8479

33A+2525A=8787 ⇒ 2558A=8787 ⇒ A=8787/2558 ≅ 3.4351

44P+66P = 3434 ⇒ 110P=3434 ⇒ P=3434/110 ≅ 31.2181

Finally

For Vigoro are needed

2929*35.8479 ≅ 104,988.49 (N)

33*3.4351≅113.35 (A)

44*31.2181≅1373.59 (P)

For Parkera are needed

1818*35.8479≅65,171.48 (N)

2525*3.4351≅8673.62 (A)

66*31.2181≅2060.39 (P)

Note: to verify the data, just replace the values in the equations
