Answer:

A. y+8=2(x-4)

Step-by-step explanation:

A line perpendicular to y=-1/2x+11 would have slope +2, which is the negative reciprocal of -1/2.

Starting with the slope-intercept form of the equation of a straight line, find the y-intercept based upon this new line's passing through (4, -8):

y = mx + b becomes  -8 = 2(4) + b.  Then b = -16, and the desired new line is

y = 2x - 16.  

Eliminate answer choices B and C, because 1/2 is not the correct slope.

Choice A is correct.  Note that the result of subbing 4 for x and -8 for y into A:  y + 8 = 2(x - 4) is a true equation:  -8 + 8 = 2(4 - 4)

Also note that y + 8 = 2(x - 4) can be written in slope-intercept form:

y = -8 + 2x - 8, or y = 2x - 16 (same as obtained earlier)

Nahhhh
So basically WHERE DID THE x COME FROM anyway ??? 
5 * 7 = 35
but
IT DOES NOT EQUAL TO
57x
It might be true depending on what the x value is, but you dont know what the x value is so ...

Answer:

  7×10⁻¹ +6×10⁻² +5×10⁻³

Step-by-step explanation:

Place value in any place-value number system increases by a factor of the base for each place to the left of the "decimal" point. It is reduced by a factor of the base for each place to the right of the "decimal" point.

For base-10 numbers, the powers of 10 are -1, -2, -3, ... as you go to the right of the decimal point. Hence the number 0.765 decomposes as ...

  7×10⁻¹ +6×10⁻² +5×10⁻³

Evaluate the function f(x)=x^2-5x+ 5 at the given values of the independent variable and simplify
11111nata11111 [884]

Step-by-step explanation:

The given function is :

f(x)=x^2-5x+ 5

(a) To find f(9), put x = 9 in the above expression.

f(9)=9^2-5(9)+ 5=41

(b) To find f(x+7), put x = x+7 in the above expression.

f(x+7)=(x+7)^2-5(x+7)+ 5\\\\=x^2+14x+49-5x-35+5\\\\=x^2+9x+19

(c) To find f(-x), put x = -x in the above expression.

f(-x)=(-x)^2-5(-x)+ 5\\\\=x^2+5x+5

Hence, this is the required solution.

Solve the triangle. A = 54°, b = 11, c = 8
Delicious77 [7]
In this problem, you apply principles in trigonometry. Since it is not mentioned, you will not assume that the triangle is a special triangle such as the right triangle. Hence, you cannot use Pythagorean formulas. The only equations you can use is the Law of Sines and Law of Cosines.

For finding side a, you can answer this easily by the Law of Cosines. The equation is

a2=b2 +c2 -2bccosA
a2 = 11^2 + 8^2 -2(11)(8)(cos54)
a2 = 81.55
a = √81.55
a = 9 

Then, we use the Law of Sines to find angles B and C. The formula would be

a/sinA = b/sinB = c/sinC
9/sin54° =  11/sinB
B = 80.4°

9/sin54° = 8/sinC
C = 45.6°

The answer would be: a ≈ 9, C ≈ 45.6, B ≈ 80.4
