Prove that lines 3x-4y=12 and 3y=12-4x are perpendicular.

Mathematics

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

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

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

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

Consider the given equations

3x - 4y = 12 ( subtract 3x from both sides )

- 4y = - 3x + 12 ( divide terms by - 4 )

y = \frac{3}{4} x - 3 ← in slope- intercept form

with slope m = \frac{3}{4}

3y = 12 - 4x = - 4x + 12 ( divide terms by 3 )

y = - \frac{4}{3} x + 4 ← in slope- intercept form

with slope m = - \frac{4}{3}

Then

\frac{3}{4} × - \frac{4}{3} = - 1

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

natima [27]
35/11 = 3.18..... 

This means that out of 35 rounds only 3 of them were free because every 11 rounds 1 is free.

so 35-3=32

You purchased 32 rounds.

Please mark brainliest. This was kind of a confusing question at first.

Use addition to solve the linear system of equations. Include all of your work in your final answer. \(\left\{ \right.\) 3x-y=6
ad-work [718]

Answer:

Solving the given linear system, we get x = 1 and y = -3.

The solution set is: (1,-3)

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to solve the linear system of equations.

3x-y=6 \\y=x-4

We can write second equation y=x-4  as: -x+y=-4

Let:

3x-y=6--eq(1)\\ -x+y=-4--eq(2)

Now, Adding equation 1 and 2

3x-y=6\\ -x+y=-4\\--------\\2x+0y=2\\2x=2\\x=\frac{2}{2}\\x=1

So, we get x = 1

Now, put value of x in second equation to find value of y:

y=x-4\\Put\:x=1\\y=1-4\\y=-3

So, we get y = -3

Solving the given linear system, we get x = 1 and y = -3.

The solution set is: (1,-3)

X+4 divided by x^2+16<br><br> Why can't it be simplified?
KonstantinChe [14]
Let's try to simplify x^2 + 16. It's a sum of two squares:

x^2 + 16 = 0

x^2 = -16

The problem is, we can't take a square root of a negative. This is where imaginary numbers come in.

Remember that square roots have a plus or minus symbol outside:

±√-16 = ±4i

Our two roots are 4i and -4i. Therefore, the trinomial simplifies to:

(x + 4i)(x - 4i)

If we attempt to divide x + 4 by these two binomials, we will find that 4 and 4i are not like terms. Therefore, we can't simplify this expression.
