Answer:
X 1 = -4,X 2 =12

EXPLANATION:

Determine the defined range
X+6/x=6/x-8,x#0,x#8

Simplify the equation using cross-multiplication
(X+6) x (x-8)=6x

Move variable to the left-hand side and change its sign
(X-6)x(x-8)-6x=0

Multiply the parentheses
X^2-8x+6x-48-6x=0

Since two opposites add up to zero, remove them from the expression
X^2-8x-48=0

Write -8x as a difference
X^2+4x-12x-48=0

Factor out x from the expression
Xx(x+4)-12x-48=0

Factor out -12 from the expression
Xx(x+4)-12(x+4)=0

Factor out from the expression
(x+4)x(x-12)=0

When the product of factors equals 0, at least one factor is 0
x+4=0
x-12=0

Solve the equation for x
X=-4
X-12=0
X=-4,x#0,x#8

Check if the solution is in the defined range
X=-4
x=12

The equation has 2 solutions

X 1 = -4,X 2 =12

Hope this helps

Find the equation of the line that is perpendicular to the given line and passes through the given point. Enter your answer in s

vagabundo [1.1K]

Answer:

y = -0.2x - 5.8

Step-by-step explanation:

If a line is given in the form y = mx + b, the "m" is the slope.

For the line given y = 5x, the slope is 5

The line that is perpendicular to this will have slope that is "negative reciprocal of that".

So, the perpendicular line will have slope of $-\frac{1}{5}$

So, the Perpendicular Line will have equation:

y = -1/5x + b

Let's find b by replacing x with 6 and y with -7 [the point given]. So we have:

$y=-\frac{1}{5}x+b\\-7=-\frac{1}{5}(6)+b\\-7=-\frac{6}{5}+b\\b=-7+\frac{6}{5}\\b=-5.8$

So the equation of perpendicular line = y = -0.2x - 5.8

A beam of light from a monochromatic laser shines into a piece of glass. The glass has thickness L and index of refraction n=1.5

boyakko [2]

Additional information to complete the question:

How long does it take for a short pulse of light to travel from one end of the glass to the other?

Express your answer in terms of some or all of the variables f and L. Use the numeric value given for n in the introduction.

T = ___________ s

Answer:

$T = \frac{15}{f}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Thickness og glass = L

Index of refraction n=1.5

Frequency = f

$Wavelength = \frac{L}{10}$

λ(air) $= \frac{L}{10}$

λ(glass) = λ(air) / n

= $\frac{\frac{L}{10}}{1.5}$

= $\frac{L}{10} * \frac{1}{1.5}$

= $\frac{L}{15}$

V(glass) = fλ(glass)

$= f * \frac{L}{15}$

$T = \frac{L}{V_{glass}} = \frac{15}{f}$

Which graph represents a system of equations with no solutions?

VladimirAG [237]

The last graph represents a system with no solutions. The solution to a system of equations is the point at which both lines intersect. Because the equations in the last graph don't intersect and are parallel, it has no solutions. Hope this helps :))
