Find the equation of a line that is perpendicular to y = 3x – 5 and passes through the point (1, -3).

1 answer:

6 0

keeping in mind that perpendicular lines have negative reciprocal slopes, let's check for the slope of the equation above

$\begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} slope-intercept~form\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y=\underset{y-intercept}{\stackrel{slope\qquad }{\stackrel{\downarrow }{m}x+\underset{\uparrow }{b}}} \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}\qquad \qquad y = \stackrel{\stackrel{m}{\downarrow }}{3}x-5$

well then therefore

$\stackrel{\textit{perpendicular lines have \underline{negative reciprocal} slopes}} {\stackrel{slope}{3\implies \cfrac{3}{1}} ~\hfill \stackrel{reciprocal}{\cfrac{1}{3}} ~\hfill \stackrel{negative~reciprocal}{-\cfrac{1}{3}}}$

so we're really looking for the equation of a line with slope of -1/3 and that passes through (1, -3 )

$(\stackrel{x_1}{1}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{-3})\qquad \qquad \stackrel{slope}{m}\implies -\cfrac{1}{3} \\\\\\ \begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} \textit{point-slope form}\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y-y_1=m(x-x_1) \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}\implies y-\stackrel{y_1}{(-3)}=\stackrel{m}{-\cfrac{1}{3}}(x-\stackrel{x_1}{1})\implies y+3=-\cfrac{1}{3}x+\cfrac{1}{3} \\\\\\ y=-\cfrac{1}{3}x+\cfrac{1}{3}-3\implies y=-\cfrac{1}{3}x-\cfrac{8}{3}$

Shown below is a blueprint for a rectangular kennel at a pet hotel.

yulyashka [42]

Answer:

The total length of fencing needed to enclose the kennel 74 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The blueprint of the rectangular kennel shows one side is 23 feet and another side is 14 feet.

As it is a rectangular shape, let the two sides be the length and the breadth of the rectangular kennel. i.e

$length = L = 23\ feet\\breadth = B = 14\ feet\\$

To find:

Total length of fencing needed is to enclose the kennel. i.e

Perimeter of a rectangular kennel = ?

Solution:

we have the formula for perimeter of a rectangle as giving below.

$\textrm{perimeter of rectangle} = 2(length + breadth) \\\textrm{total length of fencing} = 2( L+B)\\ \textrm{substituting the values of length and breadth we get}\\ \textrm{total length of fencing} = 2(23+14)\\=2\times37\\= 74\ feet$

Therefore,the total length of fencing needed to enclose the kennel 74 feet.

Dafna11 [192]

Answer:

a) The value of absolute minimum value = - 0.3536

b) which is attained at $x = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2} }$

Step-by-step explanation:

Step(i):-

Given function

$f(x) = \frac{-x}{2x^{2} +1}$ ...(i)

Differentiating equation (i) with respective to 'x'

$f^{l} = \frac{2x^{2} +1(-1) - (-x) (4x)}{(2x^{2}+1)^{2} }$ ...(ii)

$f^{l}(x) = \frac{2x^{2}-1}{(2x^{2}+1)^{2} }$

Equating Zero

$f^{l}(x) = \frac{2x^{2}-1}{(2x^{2}+1)^{2} } = 0$

$\frac{2x^{2}-1}{(2x^{2}+1)^{2} } = 0$

$2 x^{2}-1 = 0$

$2 x^{2} = 1$

$x^{2} = \frac{1}{2}$

$x = \frac{-1}{\sqrt{2} } , x = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2} }$

Step(ii):-

Again Differentiating equation (ii) with respective to 'x'

$f^{ll}(x) = \frac{(2x^{2} +1)^{2} (4x) - 2(2x^{2} +1) (4x)(2x^{2}-1) }{(2x^{2}+1)^{4} }$

put

$x = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2} }$

$f^{ll} (x) > 0$

The absolute minimum value at $x = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2} }$

Step(iii):-

The value of absolute minimum value

$f(x) = \frac{-x}{2x^{2} +1}$

$f(\frac{1}{\sqrt{2} } ) = \frac{-\frac{1}{\sqrt{2} } }{2(\frac{1}{\sqrt{2} } )^{2} +1}$

on calculation we get

The value of absolute minimum value = - 0.3536

Final answer:-

a) The value of absolute minimum value = - 0.3536

b) which is attained at $x = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2} }$

Write the linear equation that gives the rule for this table.

MAVERICK [17]

Answer:

The linear equation that gives the rule for this table will be:

y=x+25

Step-by-step explanation:

Taking two points from the table

(2, 27)

(3, 28)

Finding the slope between two points

$\mathrm{Slope}=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

$\left(x_1,\:y_1\right)=\left(2,\:27\right),\:\left(x_2,\:y_2\right)=\left(3,\:28\right)$

$m=\frac{28-27}{3-2}$

$m=1$

We know the slope-intercept form of linear equation is

$y=mx+b$

where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept

substituting the point (2, 27) and m=1 in the slope-intercept form to determine the y-intercept 'b'

$y=mx+b$

27 = 1(2)+b

27-2 = b

b = 25

Now, substituting m=1 and b=25 in the slope-intercept form to determine the linear equation

y=mx+b

y=1(x)+25

y=x+25

Thus, the linear equation that gives the rule for this table will be:

y=x+25
