The perpendicular bisector of the line segment connecting the points $(-3,8)$ and $(-5,4)$ has an equation of the form $y = mx +

docker41 [41]

Answer:

m = -1/2 and b = 6.5

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the slope of the original line segment, we have to do the change in y/the change in x:

(4-8)/(-5--3) = -4/-2 = 2

2 is the slope of the original line segment, but since this is the perpendicular bisector, we have to take the negative reciprocal of 2 so m = -1/2

To find b we substitute the values of x, y, and m into the equation. Let's use the x value of -3 and the y value of 8:

y = mx + b

8 = -1/2(-3) + b

8 = 3/2 + b

6.5 = b

The average income, I, in dollars, of a lawyer with an age of x years is modeled with the following function: I = -425x^2 + 45,5

lord [1]

We are given

The average income, I, in dollars is

$I=-425x^2+45500x-650000$

(a)

now, we are given

average income is $275000

so, $I=275000$

now, we can set them equal

and then we can solve for x

$275000=-425x^2+45500x-650000$

$-425x^2+45500x-925000=0$

we will have to use quadratic formula

$x=\frac{-45500+\sqrt{45500^2-4\left(-425\right)\left(-925000\right)}}{2\left(-425\right)}:\quad \frac{-\sqrt{45500^2-1572500000}+45500}{850}$

$x=\frac{-45500-\sqrt{45500^2-4\left(-425\right)\left(-925000\right)}}{2\left(-425\right)}:\quad \frac{\sqrt{45500^2-1572500000}+45500}{850}$

we get

$x=27.28199$

$x=79.776$

we need to find youngest age

It means that we need to choose smallest value

so,

$x=27$ ............Answer

(b)

we are given

x=40

so, we can plug it and find I

$I=-425(40)^2+45500(40)-650000$

$I=490000$ ..............Answer

Answer:

1) tanФ = 0.8392 ⇒ 2nd answer

2) cosФ = 20/29 ⇒ 3rd answer

3) cosФ = -√2/2 , cotФ = -1 ⇒ first answer

Step-by-step explanation:

* At first check the quadrant of the angle

∵ 180° < Ф < 270°

∴ Ф lies on the third quadrant

* Remember in the 3rd quadrant tanФ and cotФ only positive

∵ sinФ ≅ -0.7660

∵ tan²Ф = sec²Ф - 1

∵ secФ = 1/sinФ

∵ secФ = 1/-0.7660

∴ sec²Ф = (1/-0.7660)²

* Substitute this value in the equation

∴ tan²Ф = (1/-0.7660)² - 1 = 0.70428594 ⇒ take √ for both sides

∴ tanФ ≅ ± 0.8392

∵ Ф lies on the 3rd quadrant

∴ tanФ = 0.8392

* At first check the quadrant of the angle

∵ 0° < Ф < 90°

∴ Ф lies on the first quadrant

* Remember in the 1st quadrant all are positive

∵ sinФ = 21/29

∵ sin²Ф + cos²Ф = 1

∴ (21/29)² + cos²Ф = 1 ⇒ subtract (21/29)² from both sides

∴ cos²Ф = 1 - (21/29)² = 400/841 ⇒ take √ in both sides

∴ cosФ = ± 20/29

* Because Ф lies in the 1st quadrant

∴ cosФ = 20/29

* Remember that when the point is at the terminal side of angle Ф

∴ Its x-coordinate is cosФ

∴ Its y-coordinate is sinФ

* The point is (-√2/2 , √2/2)

∵ x-coordinate is negative ad y-coordinate is positive

∴ the point is on the 2nd quadrant

∴ 90° < Ф < 180°

∴ The values of sinФ and cscФ only positive

* From previous we know that:

∴ cosФ = -√2/2

∴ sinФ = √2/2

∵ cotФ = cosФ/sinФ

∴ cotФ = -√2/2 ÷ √2/2 = -√2/2 × 2/√2 = -√2/√2 = -1

* cosФ = -√2/2 , cotФ = -1
