Find the slope of a line perpendicular to the line 3x – 2y = 5.

2 answers:

7 0

The slope of this equation is 3/2 once you rearrange it into slope intercept form: y=3/2x-5/2

The slope of a line perpendicular to this equation is just opposite sign-reciprocal of the Original slope: 3/2

Change the sign to -3/2 and flip it to get -2/3

The answer is -2/3 is the slope of a line perpendicular to the equation 3x - 2y = 5

Hope this helps.

Answer:

2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

to the the slope of the perpendicular line we must first find the slope of line given in the problem. To do this we must transform this equation into the slope intercept format

The slope intercept form of a liner equation is:

Y = mx + b

Where m is slope and b is the y - intercept value.

solving the equation in the problem for y produces :

3x - 3x + 2y = -3x - 5

0 + 2y = 3x - 5

2y = - 3x - 5

2y = -3x - 5

2 2

y = - 3 x - 5

2. 2

Therefore the slope of this line is m = - 3

2

the slope of perpendicular line is the negative inverse of the slope of the line we are given,or

- 1

m

so for our problem the slope of a perpendicular line is - - 2 = 2

Find the real solution(s) of the equation. Round your answer to two decimal places when appropriate. 5x^6=30

Elina [12.6K]

Answer:

The real solutions are

$x=\sqrt[6]{6}\approx 1.35\\\\\:x=-\sqrt[6]{6}\approx -1.35$

Step-by-step explanation:

The solution, or root, of an equation is any value or set of values that can be substituted into the equation to make it a true statement.

To find the real solutions of the equation $5x^6=30$ :

$\mathrm{Divide\:both\:sides\:by\:}5\\\\\frac{5x^6}{5}=\frac{30}{5}\\\\\mathrm{Simplify}\\\\x^6=6\\\\\mathrm{For\:}x^n=f\left(a\right)\mathrm{,\:n\:is\:even,\:the\:solutions\:are\:}x=\sqrt[n]{f\left(a\right)},\:-\sqrt[n]{f\left(a\right)}\\\\x=\sqrt[6]{6}\approx 1.35\\\\\:x=-\sqrt[6]{6}\approx -1.35$

Answer:

$551

Step-by-step explanation:

The maximum profit is found where the derivative of the profit function is 0.

y' = -2x +62 = 0

x = 62/2 = 31

Then the maximum profit is ...

y = (-x +62)x -410

y = (-31 +62)(31) -410 = 961 -410 = 551

Assuming the profit is in dollars, the maximum profit the company can make is 551 dollars.
