Answer:

The equation of the perpendicular line is;

y = -4x + 15

Step-by-step explanation:

Firstly, we get the slope of the former line

we do this by comparing its equation with;

y = mx + b

This is the standard form with m representing the slope

Thus;

for y = x/4 -2

y = x(1/4) -2

slope = 1/4

Since the other equation is perpendicular to this line, the product of theirs slopes will give -1

Mathematically;

m2 * 1/4 = -1

m2 = -4

So we want to write the equation of the line with slope -4 and passing the point (4,-1)

we have;

y-y1 = m(x-x1)

y + 1 = -4(x-4)

y = -4x + 16-1

y = -4x + 15

Find a formula for the distance from the point P(x,y,z) to each of the following planes. a. Find the distance from P(x,y,z) to

BARSIC [14]

Answer:

Distance to the xy-plane = |z|

Distance to the yz-plane = |x|

Distance to the xz-plane = |y|

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance from P(x,y,z) to the xy-plane is by definition the magnitude of the vector that goes from the perpendicular projection of P over the xy-plane to the point P, which is exactly the magnitude of the vector (0,0,z) = |z| the absolute value of z

Similarly, the distance from P to the yz-plane is |x| and the distance from P to the xz-plane is |y|

Distance to the xy-plane = |z|

Distance to the yz-plane = |x|

Distance to the xz-plane = |y|

Harlamova29_29 [7]

Answer:

Brooke has 9 problems for social studies.

Step-by-step explanation:

I used addition. I did 15 + 5 = 20. and after that I just knew that you have to add 9 to 20 to get 29, so I figured out that she has 9 social studies problems.

The function f(x)=50⋅0.8x models the number of ants in Jonathan's ant farm after it is stricken by a deadly ant disease, where x

alina1380 [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

In the exponential growth/decay function

$y=a(b)^x$ , in our situation,

y is the number of ants remaining in the colony after the growth or decay,

a is the initial number of ants in the colony, and

b is the growth/decay rate. Rule: if b is greater than 1, the function is growth; if b is greater than 0 but less than 1, the function is decay.

Our equation looks like this (it's given):

$y=50(.8)^x$

a = 50, which is the initial number of ants in the colony.

b = .8 (which actually means that then number of ants is declining by 20% each week). Since .8 is a fraction of 1, this is decay.

So far, we know that 1 and 4 are true. Let's look at 5. We have to do some solving to find out if it's true or not. If the number of ants after x = 2 weeks is 32, then we plug in 2 for x and see if the y we get as the answer is 32:

$y=50(.8)^2$ and

y = 50(.64) so

y = 32

5 is true as well. Let's test 6 by replacing x with 8 and seeing if y = 10:

$y=50(.8)^8$ and

y = 50(.16777216) so

y = 8.388

6 is not true.

1, 4, 5 are true
