Step-by-step explanation:
a) y=3x-1
The standard equation of a line is given by:
y = mx + c
Where m is the slope of the line and c is the intercept on the y axis.
Given that y=3x-1, comparing with the standard equation of a line, the slope (m) = 3, Two lines with slope a and b are perpendicular if the product of their slope is -1 i.e. ab = -1. Let the line perpendicular to y=3x-1 be d, to get the slope of the perpendicular line, we use:
3 × d = -1
d = -1/3
To find the equation of the perpendicular line passing through (0,0), we use:
To find x if the point P(x, 4) lies on the new line, insert y = 4 and find x:
b) y=1/4 x+2
Given that y=1/4 x+2, comparing with the standard equation of a line, the slope (m) = 1/4. Let the line perpendicular to y=1/4 x+2 be f, to get the slope of the perpendicular line, we use:
1/4 × f = -1
f = -4
To find the equation of the perpendicular line passing through (0,0), we use:
To find x if the point P(x, 4) lies on the new line, insert y = 4 and find x:
Answer:
x = - 2, x = -
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
5x² + 1 = - 13x - 5 ( add 13x - 5 to both sides )
5x² + 13x + 6 = 0
Consider the factors of the product of the x² term and the constant term which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term
product = 5 × 6 = 30 and sum = 13
The factors are 10 and 3
Use these factors to split the x- term
5x² + 10x + 3x + 6 = 0 ( factor the first/second and third/fourth terms )
5x(x + 2) + 3(x + 2) = 0 ← factor out (x + 2) from each term
(x + 2)(5x + 3) = 0
Equate each factor to zero and solve for x
x + 2 = 0 ⇒ x = - 2
5x + 3 = 0 ⇒ 5x = - 3 ⇒ x = -
