Answer:

- $\frac{1}{5}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

y = 5x - 2 ← is in slope- intercept form

with slope m = 5

Given a line with slope m then the slope of a line perpendicular to it is

$m_{perpendicular}$ = - $\frac{1}{m}$ = - $\frac{1}{5}$

What is 16-14 dealing with intergers

fenix001 [56]

16 - 14 = 2

Think of it as in objects. You have 16 candies, and you eat 14. How many do you have left? You can count it and see. You have 2 left. So 16 - 14 = 2

Hope that helps :)

Show that the equation x^3+6x-5=0 has a solution between x=0 and x=1

Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer:

Since the value of f(0) is negative and the value of f(1) is positive, then there is at least one value of x between 0 and 1 for which f(x) =0.

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation f(x) given is:

$f(x) = x^3+6x-5$

For x = 0. the value of the expression is:

$f(0) = 0^3+0-5\\f(0) = -5$

For x = 1, the value of the expression is:

$f(1) = 1^3+6-5\\f(1)=2$

Since the value of f(0) is negative and the value of f(1) is positive, then there is at least one value of x between 0 and 1 for which f(x) =0.

In other words, there is at least one solution for the equation between x=0 and x=1.
