How do you find the equation of a perpendicular bisect or of a line segment?

You can take apart the word ‘perpendicular bisector’:

Perpendicular means at a right angle to the line.

So you would find the gradient of your line segment, assuming you were given two points along the line. Then find the negative reciprocal of this gradient to get your new gradient.

Bisector means cut in half.

So you find the midpoint of your line segment.

Now, substitute the midpoint coordinate and your new gradient into the equation of a straight line.

Hope this helps :D

For the real-valued functions f(x)=2x+1 and g(x)=sqrt(x-1), find the composition f o g and specify its domain using interval not
Anettt [7]

Answer:

fog = 2√(x-1) + 1

Domain = [1, \infty)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the functions  f(x)=2x+1 and g(x)=sqrt(x-1), we are to find the composite function fog

fog = f(g(x))

f(g(x)) = f(√(x-1))

f(√(x+1)) means that we are to replace variable x in f(x) with the function √(x-1)

f(√(x-1)) = 2(√(x-1))+1

f(√(x+1)) = 2√(x-1) + 1

fog = 2√(x-1) + 1

<em>For the function to exist on any real valued function, then the function inside square root i.e x-1 must be greater than or equal to zero (x-1≥0)</em>

If x-1≥0

x≥0+1

x≥1

This means the range of variable x must be values of x greater than or equal to 1.

Domain = [1, \infty)

5x+2y=10 in function notation
Zanzabum
Normally it is x ininput and f(x)=y
solve for y and replace y with f(x)

minus 5x from both sides
2y=10-5x
divide both sides by 2
y=5-2.5x
f(x)=5-2.5x
