EXPLANATION
Let us find the gradient of the line:
by rewriting it in the slope intercept form.
We divide through by 4 now;
This is now in the form;
where
is he slope.
This implies that the slope of the line that is perpendicular to this line will be the negative reciprocal of .
Thus the perpendicular line has slope,
.
Let the perpendicular line have equation,
When we substitute the slope we have;
We substitute the point. to find c.
We substitute c to obtain;
Or
Answer:
x=0.5355 or x=-6.5355
First step is to: Isolate the constant term by adding 7 to both sides
Step-by-step explanation:
We want to solve this equation:
On observation, the trinomial is not factorizable so we use the Completing the square method.
Step 1: Isolate the constant term by adding 7 to both sides
Step 2: Divide the equation all through by the coefficient of which is 2.
Step 3: Divide the coefficient of x by 2, square it and add it to both sides.
Coefficient of x=6
Divided by 2=3
Square of 3=
Therefore, we have:
Step 4: Write the Left Hand side in the form
Step 5: Take the square root of both sides and solve for x
