Write the equation of a line perpendicular to the line: y=−5/2x+4 that goes through the point (-6, 0).

Mathematics

NikAS [45]2 years ago
3 0

Step-by-step explanation:

the line given slope = x coefficient = -5/2

Perpendicular slopes must be opposite reciprocals of each other:  m1 * m2 = –1

new slope = 2/5

line equation formula = y = mx+ b

m = slope

y= 2/5x + b

from the point given (-6,0)

x = -6

y = 0

0= -12/5 + b

b = +12/5

line equation =

y =  \frac{2}{5} x +  \frac{12}{5}

The length of a rectangular garden is 8m greater than twice the width the area of the garden is 280m^2 what is the width of the
yarga [219]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :-

The length of the garden 8m greater than 2 times the width.

Area of the garden is 280 m²

Let us consider the length as x and width as y.

Sp, we can day length as :-

x = 8 + 2y ---(1)

Now, we know that:-

Area of Rectangle = Length × Breadth

280 = x * y

We can replace the value of x now,

280 = y × ( 8 + 2y)

280 = 8y + 2y²

2y² + 8y - 280 = 0

y² + 4y - 140 = 0

Factorise it.

(y -10)(y + 14)

Cancelling -ve value, we get the width as 10 metres.

John and Jane are married. The probability that John watches a certain television show is .7. The probability that Jane watches
ikadub [295]

a) The probability  that both John and Jane watch the show is 0.12.

b.The probability that Jane watches the show, given that John does is  0.1714.

c)They do watch show independent of each other.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, as given in the question:

Probability that John watches a certain show  = 0.7   ⇒ P(J) = 0.7

Probability that Jane watches a certain show  = 0.3   ⇒ P(Je) = 0.3

Probability that John watches a certain show given Jane watches it to

 = 0.4   ⇒ P(J/Je) = 0.4

a. )  Here, we need to find the probability of  both Jane and John watching a show , P(J∩Je)

Now, by BAYES THEOREM:

P(J/Je)  = \frac{P(J \cap Je)}{P(Je)}

\implies  0.4  = \frac{P(J \cap Je)}{0.3} \\\implies P(J \cap Je) = 0.4 \times 0.3  = 0.12

Hence the probability  that both John and Jane watch the show is 0.12.

b.) The probability that Jane watches the show, given that John does is P(J/Je)

By BAYES Theorem:

P(Je/J)  = \frac{P(J \cap Je)}{P(J)}\\\implies P(Je/J)  = \frac{0.12}{0.7}  = 0.1714

Hence, the probability that Jane watches the show, given that John does is  0.1714.

c) As we can see P(Jane ∩ John) =  0.12

So, the probability of both of them seeing the show TOGETHER is 0.12.

Hence, they do watch show independent of each other and the probability of doing that is 1.0.12  = 0.88

-1/2x&gt;4 solve for x​
tangare [24]

Answer:

X<-8

Step-by-step explanation:

-1/2x>4

Multiple both sides by -2

-2(-1/2)x<-2(4)

Multiple even numbers of negative terms

2(1/2)x<-2(4)

Cancel out the 2

(2 this is out)(1/(2 this is out))x<-2(4)

x<-2×4

Multiple

x<-8

Find the measure of the third angle of a triangle if the measures of the other two angles are given. 118.6 and 42.3
dsp73

recall from the previous posting, the sum of all interior angles in a triangle is 180°.


so the third one will be 180° - 118.6° - 42.3°.
