Answer:

y=½x+5

Step-by-step explanation:

Passes through, (1,3)

Perpendicular to x-2y=-8.

Step 1

write the equation in form of y=mx+c

x-2y=8

-2y=-x+8

Dividing both sides of the equation by -2 we get;

y=-x/2+8

y=-½x+8

Thus the gradient is -½. Call it M1

Recall, The product of the gradients(slopes) of perpendicular lines is -1 i.e

M1 × M2= -1

Solve for M2

-½×M2=-1.

Dividing both sides by -½ we get

M2=-1×-2

Now, use this slope(M2) with the points (1,3) to find the new equation that is perpendicular to x-2y=-8

Note: Given two points (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) the the slope would be ∆x/∆y i.e (x1-x2)/(y1-y2).

Therefore, identify new point (x,y). Use this new point with point (1,3) and the slope M2 to get the new equation.

Slope=∆x/∆y

M2=(x-1)/(y-3)

but M2 is 2

2=(x-1)/(y-3)

2/1=(x-1)/(y-3) Note: 2= 2/1

Cross multiplying we get:

2(y-3)=1(x-1)

Open the brackets

2y-6=x-1

Solve for y so as to write the equation in form of y=mx+c

2y=x-1 +6

2y=x+5

Divide both sides of the equation by 2

y=x/2+5

Answer:

y = -2x + 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Passes through point (1, 3)

Perpendicular to x – 2y = -8

Solve:

x – 2y = -8

y = 1/2x + 4

The slope is m = 1/2

The slope of the perpendicular line is the inverse of the slope of the original equation.

The slope of the inverse equation is m = -2.

Making an inverse equation of y = -2x + a

Find a:

Use point, (1, 3) where (x, y):

3 = (-2)*(1) + a

a = 5

y = -2x + 5

This is geometry can someone help me?

elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Answer: JG= 12.
Explantation: Since it is a parallelogram, we know that EJ and JG are congruent (equal). Therefore, we set EJ and JG as an inequality. (3w = w + 8) We solve for W and get w=4. Plug in 4 into the JG equation (4 + 8). The answer would be 12.

Answer:

See Explanation Below

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$(sin x - cos x)^2 = sec^2x - tan^2x - 2sinx.cos x.$

Required

Prove

To start with; we open the bracket on the left hand side

$(sin x - cos x)^2 = (sin x - cos x)(sin x - cos x)$

$(sin x - cos x)^2 = (sin x )(sin x - cos x)- (cos x)(sin x - cos x)$

$(sin x - cos x)^2 = sin^2 x -sinx cos x - sin xcos x + cos^2 x$

$(sin x - cos x)^2 = sin^2 x -2sinx cos x + cos^2 x$

Reorder

$(sin x - cos x)^2 = sin^2 x + cos^2 x - 2sinx cos x$

From trigonometry;

$sin^2x + cos^2x = 1$

So;

$(sin x - cos x)^2 = sin^2 x + cos^2 x - 2sinx cos x$

becomes

$(sin x - cos x)^2 = 1 - 2sinx cos x$

Also from trigonometry;

$sec^2x - tan^2x = 1$

So,

$(sin x - cos x)^2 = 1 - 2sinx cos x$

becomes

$(sin x - cos x)^2 = sec^2x - tan^2x - 2sinx cos x$

Listed below are prices in dollars for one night at different hotels in a certain region. Find the range, variance, and standar

Artyom0805 [142]

Answer:

Range = 115$

Standard Deviation = 43.76$

Variance = 1915.142$

Option A) The measures of variation are not very useful because when searching for a room, low prices, location, and good accommodations are more important than the amount of variation in the area.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the data for prices in dollars for one night at different hotels in a certain region.

234, 160, 119, 131, 218, 207, 146, 141

Range:

Sorted data: 119, 131, 141, 146, 160, 207, 218, 234

$\text{Range} = 234-119 = 115\$$

Standard Deviation:

$\text{Standard Deviation} = \sqrt{\displaystyle\frac{\sum (x_i -\bar{x})^2}{n-1}}$

where $x_i$ are data points, $\bar{x}$ is the mean and n is the number of observations.

$Mean = \displaystyle\frac{\text{Sum of all observations}}{\text{Total number of observation}}$

$Mean =\displaystyle\frac{1356}{8} = 169.5$

Sum of squares of differences = 4160.25 + 90.25 + 2550.25 + 1482.25 + 2352.25 + 1406.25 + 552.25 + 812.25 = 13406

$\sigma = \sqrt{\dfrac{13406}{7}} = 43.76\$$

Variance =

$\sigma^2 = 1915.142\$$

Measure of variance for someone searching for room:

Option A) The measures of variation are not very useful because when searching for a room, low prices, location, and good accommodations are more important than the amount of variation in the area.
