Given:

Line segment NY has endpoints N(-11, 5) and Y(3,-3).

To find:

The equation of the perpendicular bisector of NY.

Solution:

Midpoint point of NY is

Midpoint=\left(\dfrac{x_1+x_2}{2},\dfrac{y_1+y_2}{2}\right)

Midpoint=\left(\dfrac{-11+3}{2},\dfrac{5-3}{2}\right)

Midpoint=\left(\dfrac{-8}{2},\dfrac{2}{2}\right)

Midpoint=\left(-4,1\right)

Slope of lines NY is

m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

m=\dfrac{-3-5}{3-(-11)}

m=\dfrac{-8}{14}

m=\dfrac{-4}{7}

Product of slopes of two perpendicular lines is -1. So,

m_1\times \dfrac{-4}{7}=-1

m_1=\dfrac{7}{4}

The perpendicular bisector of NY passes through (-4,1) with slope \dfrac{7}{4}. So, the equation of perpendicular bisector of NY is

y-y_1=m_1(x-x_1)

y-1=\dfrac{7}{4}(x-(-4))

y-1=\dfrac{7}{4}(x+4)

y-1=\dfrac{7}{4}x+7

Add 1 on both sides.

y=\dfrac{7}{4}x+8

Therefore, the equation of perpendicular bisector of NY is y=\dfrac{7}{4}x+8.

Prove the function f: R- {1} to R- {1} defined by f(x) = ((x+1)/(x-1))^3 is bijective.
Eduardwww [97]

Answer:

See explaination

Step-by-step explanation:

given f:R-\left \{ 1 \right \}\rightarrow R-\left \{ 1 \right \} defined by f(x)=\left ( \frac{x+1}{x-1} \right )^{3}

let f(x)=f(y)

\left ( \frac{x+1}{x-1} \right )^{3}=\left ( \frac{y+1}{y-1} \right )^{3}

taking cube roots on both sides , we get

\frac{x+1}{x-1} = \frac{y+1}{y-1}

\Rightarrow (x+1)(y-1)=(x-1)(y+1)

\Rightarrow xy-x+y-1=xy+x-y-1

\Rightarrow -x+y=x-y

\Rightarrow x+x=y+y

\Rightarrow 2x=2y

\Rightarrow x=y

Hence f is one - one

let y\in R, such that f(x)=\left ( \frac{x+1}{x-1} \right )^{3}=y

\Rightarrow \frac{x+1}{x-1} =\sqrt[3]{y}

\Rightarrow x+1=\sqrt[3]{y}\left ( x-1 \right )

\Rightarrow x+1=\sqrt[3]{y} x- \sqrt[3]{y}

\Rightarrow \sqrt[3]{y} x-x=1+ \sqrt[3]{y}

\Rightarrow x\left ( \sqrt[3]{y} -1 \right ) =1+ \sqrt[3]{y}

\Rightarrow x=\frac{\sqrt[3]{y}+1}{\sqrt[3]{y}-1}

for every y\in R-\left \{ 1 \right \}\exists x\in R-\left \{ 1 \right \} such that x=\frac{\sqrt[3]{y}+1}{\sqrt[3]{y}-1}

Hence f is onto

since f is both one -one and onto so it is a bijective

Eddie's Evergreens sells Christmas trees and wreaths. Trees cost 3 dollars more than 4 times the price of each wreath. It costs
kari74 [83]

Answer:

W = 16

T = 67

Step-by-step explanation:

Represent trees with T and wreaths with W

Given

T = 3 + 4 * W

2 * W + T = 99

Solving (a): Cost of W

Substitute 3 + 4 * W for T in the second equation

2*W + 3 + 4 * W = 99

2W + 3 + 4 W = 99

Collect Like Terms

2W + 4 W = 99 - 3

6W = 96

Divide through by 6

W =\frac{96}{6}

W = 16

Hence, each wreath costs $16

Solving (b): Cost of T

T = 3 + 4 * W

Substitute 16 for W

T = 3 + 4 * 16

T = 3 + 64

T = 67

Hence, each tree costs $67

All you have to do is move the denominator on the other side, by multiplying.

a-10
------- = -9  
20 

multiply 20 x -9
= -180

then it becomes a-10=-180
                             +10  +10
a=-170
