Answer:

yes

Step-by-step explanation:

If 2 lines are perpendicular then the product of their slopes = - 1

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

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

y = - x - 4 ← is in slope- intercept form

with slope m = - 1

5x - 5y = 20 ( subtract 5x from both sides )

- 5y = - 5x + 20 ( divide all terms by - 5 )

y = x - 4 ← in slope- intercept form

with slope m = 1

Thus product of their slopes is - 1 × 1 = - 1

Therefore the lines are perpendicular

According to the fundamental theorem of algebra, how many zeros does the function f(x) = 15x17 + 41x12 + 13x3 − 10 have?
liberstina [14]
The fundamental theorem of algebra states that a polynomial of degree has exactly n roots (including complex and multiple).
The degree of a polynomial is the highest (non-negative) exponent of the polynomial, in this case is 17 from the term 15x^17.

Answer:

  B, E

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratios of side lengths in a 30-60-90 triangle are ...

  1 : √3 : 2

The two legs are the shorter sides, so any ratio that reduces to 1 : √3 is an appropriate choice:

  B.  1 : √3

  E.  2√3 : 6
