Answer:

4. The equation of the perpendicular bisector is y = \frac{3}{4} x - \frac{1}{8}

5. The equation of the perpendicular bisector is y = - 2x + 16

6. The equation of the perpendicular bisector is y = -\frac{3}{2} x + \frac{7}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets revise some important rules

  • The product of the slopes of the perpendicular lines is -1, that means if the slope of one of them is m, then the slope of the other is -\frac{1}{m} (reciprocal m and change its sign)
  • The perpendicular bisector of a line means another line perpendicular to it and intersect it in its mid-point
  • The formula of the slope of a line is m=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}
  • The mid point of a segment whose end points are (x_{1},y_{1}) and (x_{2},y_{2}) is (\frac{x_{1}+x_{2}}{2},\frac{y_{1}+y_{2}}{2})
  • The slope-intercept form of the linear equation is y = m x + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept

4.

∵ The line passes through (7 , 2) and (4 , 6)

- Use the formula of the slope to find its slope

∵ x_{1} = 7 and x_{2} = 4

∵ y_{1} = 2 and y_{2} = 6

∴ m=\frac{6-2}{4-7}=\frac{4}{-3}

- Reciprocal it and change its sign to find the slope of the ⊥ line

∴ The slope of the perpendicular line = \frac{3}{4}

- Use the rule of the mid-point to find the mid-point of the line

∴ The mid-point = (\frac{7+4}{2},\frac{2+6}{2})

∴ The mid-point = (\frac{11}{2},\frac{8}{2})=(\frac{11}{2},4)

- Substitute the value of the slope in the form of the equation

∵ y = \frac{3}{4} x + b

- To find b substitute x and y in the equation by the coordinates

   of the mid-point

∵ 4 = \frac{3}{4} × \frac{11}{2} + b

∴ 4 = \frac{33}{8} + b

- Subtract  \frac{33}{8} from both sides

∴ -\frac{1}{8} = b

∴ y = \frac{3}{4} x - \frac{1}{8}

∴ The equation of the perpendicular bisector is y = \frac{3}{4} x - \frac{1}{8}

5.

∵ The line passes through (8 , 5) and (4 , 3)

- Use the formula of the slope to find its slope

∵ x_{1} = 8 and x_{2} = 4

∵ y_{1} = 5 and y_{2} = 3

∴ m=\frac{3-5}{4-8}=\frac{-2}{-4}=\frac{1}{2}

- Reciprocal it and change its sign to find the slope of the ⊥ line

∴ The slope of the perpendicular line = -2

- Use the rule of the mid-point to find the mid-point of the line

∴ The mid-point = (\frac{8+4}{2},\frac{5+3}{2})

∴ The mid-point = (\frac{12}{2},\frac{8}{2})

∴ The mid-point = (6 , 4)

- Substitute the value of the slope in the form of the equation

∵ y = - 2x + b

- To find b substitute x and y in the equation by the coordinates

   of the mid-point

∵ 4 = -2 × 6 + b

∴ 4 = -12 + b

- Add 12 to both sides

∴ 16 = b

∴ y = - 2x + 16

∴ The equation of the perpendicular bisector is y = - 2x + 16

6.

∵ The line passes through (6 , 1) and (0 , -3)

- Use the formula of the slope to find its slope

∵ x_{1} = 6 and x_{2} = 0

∵ y_{1} = 1 and y_{2} = -3

∴ m=\frac{-3-1}{0-6}=\frac{-4}{-6}=\frac{2}{3}

- Reciprocal it and change its sign to find the slope of the ⊥ line

∴ The slope of the perpendicular line = -\frac{3}{2}

- Use the rule of the mid-point to find the mid-point of the line

∴ The mid-point = (\frac{6+0}{2},\frac{1+-3}{2})

∴ The mid-point = (\frac{6}{2},\frac{-2}{2})

∴ The mid-point = (3 , -1)

- Substitute the value of the slope in the form of the equation

∵ y = -\frac{3}{2} x + b

- To find b substitute x and y in the equation by the coordinates

   of the mid-point

∵ -1 = -\frac{3}{2} × 3 + b

∴ -1 = -\frac{9}{2} + b

- Add  \frac{9}{2}  to both sides

∴ \frac{7}{2} = b

∴ y = -\frac{3}{2} x + \frac{7}{2}

∴ The equation of the perpendicular bisector is y = -\frac{3}{2} x + \frac{7}{2}

The graph below displays the wrist circumferences and heights of six students in Alyssa’s classroom.
coldgirl [10]

Answer:

Option D(No because the wrist circumference of 16 cm is paired with two heights.


Step-by-step explanation:

In the given graph we have  set of points representing the wrist circumferences and heights of six students in Alyssa’s classroom.

x axis  represents the wrist circumference while  y axis represent the height.

Any relation is called a function if for one value of x we have only one value of y. If the graph passes the vertical line test that is if a vertical line drawn touches the graph at only one point then the graph is called a function.In the given graph for x value x=16 there are two y values 162 and 165.So the graph is not a function.

Among all the options Option D(No because the wrist circumference of 16 cm is paired with two heights.) is the right answer.

Is (x-3) a factor of f(x) = x^2 - 32?
Leokris [45]

Answer:

No

Explanation:

Here, we want to use the factor theorem to check if the given linear expression is a factor of the binomial

Now, according to the factor theorem, a factor of a polynomial would leave no remainder when divided by it

Mathematically, it means when we substitute the factor value into the polynomial, it is expected that the remainder is zero is the substituted is a factor of the polynomial

We set x-2 to zero:

\begin{gathered} \text{ x-2 = 0} \\ x\text{ = 2} \end{gathered}

Now, we substitute 2 into the polynomial as follows:

f(2)\text{ = }2^2-32\text{ = 4-32 = -28}

There is a remainder of -28 and thus, the linear factor is not a factor of the binomial

Please explain step by step​

1. Calculate the volume of entire cube as if it was a solid rectangle:
Length x width x height=
20x16x12 = 3,940 cubic inches

2. Calculate the volume of the "missing"
Piece and subtract:
Length x width x height=
20x8x6 = 960 cubic inches
(notice you can find the height of the missing piece by subtracting 12-6)

So your answer is 3,940-960 = 2,980 cubic inches inside the steps
