Answer: y = -4x + 1 or y = 1 - 4x

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we have to find the slope of the perpendicular. The slope of the line perpendicular to the other is the <u>reciprocal and opposite value</u> of the other line's slope.

This means that the slope perpendicular to y = 1/4x + 2 is -4, or -4/1.

Now we need to find the y-intercept, to do that we will use the equation y = mx + b. m = slope, b = y-intercept.

Plug in the values.

1 = -4(0) + b

Simplify.

1 = 0 + b

1 = b

Our y-intercept is 1.

Now we can form the slope-intercept equation for the line perpendicular to y = 1/4x + 2 that passes through the point (0, 1).

y = -4x + 1

What is the solution to the liner equation <br><br> -12+3b-1=-5-b

Natalija [7]

Answer:

b=2

Step-by-step explanation:

-12+3b-1=-5-b

Combine like terms

-13 +3b = -5-b

Add b to each side

-13+3b+b = -5-b+b

-13+4b = -5

Add 13 to each side

-13+13 +4b = -5+13

4b = 8

Divide by 4

4b/4 = 8/4

b = 2

Adrian are 3 ani, iar tatăl lui are 34 de ani. Peste câți ani Adrian va fi de două ori mai tânăr decât tatăl său?

katrin [286]

Answer:

27 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Adrian's age = 3

Father's age = 34

In how many years will Adrian be twice as young as his father?

Let the number of years = x

2(3 + x) = 34 + x

6 + 2x = 34 + x

2x - x = 34 - 6

x = 28

E temperature t of a metal sphere is inversely proportional to the distance from the centre of the sphere (the origin (0, 0, 0))

olasank [31]

(-x, -y, -z) the vector form (x, y, z) to the origin, in the direction of the greatest increase.

<h3>How to calculate temperature?</h3>

The quantity or amount of radiation contained in material or item, as measured by a temperature or sensed by touch and stated on a numerical scale.

The temperature T of a ball bearing is inverse to the length first from the origin, which we consider to be the center of the ball. The temperature at the exact location

(x, y, z) is a point on the sphere, the temperature at this point is given by

$T(x,y,z)= \dfrac{k}{(x^2 +y^2+z^2)^{1/2}}$

Where k is constant, then we have

T(1, 2, 2) = k/3 = 170

k = 510

$T(x,y,z)= \dfrac{510}{(x^2 +y^2+z^2)^{1/2}}$

Then we have

$\rm \triangledown T = \left ( -\dfrac{510x}{(x^2 +y^2+z^2)^{1/2}}, -\dfrac{510y}{(x^2 +y^2+z^2)^{1/2}}, \dfrac{510z}{(x^2 +y^2+z^2)^{1/2}} \right )\\\\\\\triangledown T (1, 2, 2) = -\dfrac{510}{27} (1, 2, 2) =-\dfrac{170}{9} (1, 2, 2)$

Then the direction will be from (1, 2, 2) to (4, 3, 5) will be (3, 1, 3)

So u = (3/√19, 1/√19, 3/√19)

Then we get

$\rm \triangledown T \cdot u = \dfrac{-170}{9}(1, 2, 2) \cdot \left (\dfrac{3}{\sqrt{19}}, \dfrac{1}{\sqrt{19}}, \dfrac{3}{\sqrt{19}} \right )\\\\\\\triangledown T \cdot u = - \dfrac{170}{9\sqrt{19}} (3 + 2 + 6)\\\\\\\triangledown T \cdot u = -\dfrac{1870}{9\sqrt{19}}$

The direction of the greatest inverse in the temperature is given by any vector parallel to and having the same direction $\triangledown$ T. (-x, -y, -z) the vector form (x, y, z) to the origin, in the direction of the greatest increase.
