Michelle will be 72 years old in eighteen years. How old is Michelle now? A. 90 years old B. 54 years old C. 36 years old D. 49

Katen [24]

Subtract 18 from 72 to get Michelle's current age.

72 - 18 = 54

Write an equation in slope-intercept form for the following line: (-14,1) and (13,-2)

alex41 [277]

Answer:

$\large \boxed{y = - \frac{1}{9} x - \frac{5}{9} }$

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find an equation of a line with two given ordered pairs. We have to find a slope first which we can do by using the formula below.

$\large \boxed{m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} }$

m-term is defined as slope in y = mx+b form which is slope-intercept form.

Now we substitute these ordered pairs (x, y) in the formula.

$\large{m = \frac{1 - ( - 2)}{ -14 - 13} } \\ \large{m = \frac{1 + 2}{ - 27} } \\ \large{m = \frac{3}{ - 27} = - \frac{1}{9} }$

After we calculate for slope, we substitute m-value in slope-intercept form. The slope-intercept form is

$\large \boxed{y = mx + b}$

We already know m-value as we substitute it.

$\large{y = - \frac{1}{9} x + b}$

We are not done yet because we need to find the b-term which is our y-intercept. (Note that m-term is slope while b-term is y-intercept)

We can find the y-intercept by substituting either (-14,1) or (13,-2) in the equation. I will be using (13,-2) to substitute in the equation.

$\large{y = - \frac{1}{9} x + b} \\ \large{ - 2 = - \frac{1}{9} (13) + b} \\ \large{ - 2 = - \frac{13}{9} + b} \\ \large{ - 2 + \frac{13}{9} = b} \\ \large{ - \frac{5}{9} = b}$

Finally, we know b-value. Then we substitute it in our equation.

$\large{y = - \frac{1}{9} x + b} \\ \large{y = - \frac{1}{9} x - \frac{5}{9} }$

I dont really know how to do soh cah toah. please help me find x.

First notice that the triangle with sides $x,y,a$ and the triangle with sides $z,a+b,x$ are similar. This is true because the angle between sides $x,y$ in the smaller triangle is clearly $30^\circ$ , while the angle between sides $y,z$ in the larger triangle is clearly $60^\circ$ . So the triangles are similar with sides $x,y,a$ corresponding to $a+b,z,x$ , respectively.

Now both triangles are $30^\circ-60^\circ-90^\circ$ , which means there's a convenient ratio between its sides. If the length of the shortest leg is $\ell_1$ , then the length of the longer leg is $\ell_2=\sqrt3\ell_1$ and the hypotenuse has length $\ell_3=\sqrt{{\ell_1}^2+{\ell_2}^2}=2\ell_1$ .

Since $x$ is the shortest leg in the larger triangle, it follows that $a+b=2x$ , so $a+b=15=2x\implies x=\dfrac{15}2$

If f(x) = - 4x and g(x)= 5x?, find a. (f+g)(x) b.(-9)(x) C. (fog)(x)

o-na [289]

a) (f+g)(x) = f(x) + g(x) = -4x + 5x = x

b) -9(x) = -9x? I have no idea what this means.

c) (f o g)(x) = (f(g(x)) = f(5x) = -4 (5x) = -20x

Write an equation of a line that is parallel to the given line.

Marina CMI [18]

Answer:

5) y=5

6)x=7

7)a=18

Step-by-step explanation:

5) y= any number will work. don't add a variable like x

6)x= any number will work. don't add a variable

My work for 7 is in the picture. If you'd like me to explain more for 7 lmk :)
