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

Find a closed form for the generating function for each of these sequences. (assume a general form for the terms of the sequence

noname [10]

There really is no single "obvious" choice here...

Possibly the sequence is periodic, with seven copies of -1 followed by six copies of 0, or perhaps seven -1s and seven 0s. Or maybe seven -1s, followed by six 0s, then five 1s, and so on, but after a certain point it would seem we have to have negative copies of a number, which is meaningless.

Or maybe it's not periodic, and every seventh value in the sequence is incremented by 1? Who knows?

I'll go ahead and assume the latter case, that the sequence is not periodic, since that's technically somewhat easier to manage. We can assign the following rule to the $n$ -th term in the sequence:

$\{a_n\}=\{-1,\ldots,-1,0,\ldots,0,1,\ldots,1,2,\ldots,2,3,\ldots\}$
$\implies a_n=\left\lfloor\dfrac n7\right\rfloor-1$

for $n\ge0$ .

So the generating function for this sequence might be

$G(a_n;x)=\displaystyle\sum_{n\ge0}\left(\left\lfloor\frac n7\right\rfloor-1\right)x^n$

As to what is meant by "closed form", I'm not sure. Would this answer be acceptable? Or do you need to find a possibly more tractable form for the coefficient not in terms of the floor function?

7) David bought a computer that was 20% off the regular price of $1080. If an 8% sales tax was added to the cost of the computer

Aneli [31]

Hello there! I can help you!

7. Okay. So the computer was originally $1,080, and the discount is 20%, but David would still have to pay 80% of the original price. To find the sale price, let's multiply. 1,080 * 80% (0.8) is 864. The sale price of the compuet is $864, but now we must add the sales tax to find the total price. We will multiply by 108%, because 100% (representing the price + 8% is 108%, and doing this will get us stright to the total price. 864 * 108% (1.08) is 933.12. There. David paid a total price of $933.12 for the computer.

8. Okay. So we are looking for the amount of discount for the sweater Suzanne bought. First off, let's subtract the prices to find the difference. 40 - 25 is 15. Now, let's divide that by 40 (the original price) to find the discount. 15/40 is 0.375. Or 37.5% when converted into a percentage. There. Suzanne received a 37.5% discount on the sweater when she bought it.

9. So the car was bought for x dollars. 0.88 represents 88%, so the value of the car is 88% of the previous year. An expression that is a way to describe the change in car value is x * (100 - 0.12)^t, because you car loses 12% of the remaining value each year, which leaves 88% of it remaining, and having the t as the exponent represents the number of years. That expression helps find the value of the car currently and can help you compare the values.

Mr. Cornapple is the fruit & vegetable buyer for a large school district. In a given week, he has a budget of $6,550. Bushel

Nina [5.8K]

Answer:

40x + 30y ≤ 6,550

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Cost of each apple bushels = $40

Cost of each corn bushels = $30

Total budget = $6,550

Find:

Inequality

Computation:

Assume;

Total number of apple bushels = x

Total number of corn bushels = y

So,

40x + 30y ≤ 6,550
