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}

The meaning of this problem is that with 7 nurses they can only hire D=13.25

<h3>What is the meaning of this problem.?</h3>

Generally, the equation for the model is  mathematically given as

P=1000D^{0.6}N^{0.3}

Therefore,

dv/dD=0.6*1000*D^{0.4}N)^{0.3}

dv/dD=600* \frac{N6.1}{D6.1}=0

Also

dv/dN=300* \frac{N6.8}{N6.7}=0

Equations 1 and 2

300* \frac{D6.8}{N6.7}=600* \frac{N6.1}{D6.1}

.sub D=(60N)/4

300* \frac{((60N)/4)6.8}{N6.7}=600* \frac{N6.1}{((60N)/4)6.1}

N=6.67

N=7

solve for D

D=(60(7))/4

D=13.25

In conclusion, with 7 nurses they can only hire D=13.25

An angle bisector of a triangle divides the opposite side of the triangle into segments 6 cm and 5 cm long. A second side of the
sveticcg [70]
<span>Based in the information given in the problem, you must apply the The Angle Bisector Theorem. Let's call the triangle: "ABC"; the internal bisector of the angle that divides its opposite side: "AP"; and "x": the longest and shortest possible lengths of the third side of the triangle.

 If BP= 6 cm and CP= 5 cm, we have:

 BP/CP = AB/AC

 We don't know if second side of the triangle (6.9 centimeters long) is AB or AC, so:

 1. If AB = 6.9 cm and AC = x:
 6/5 = 6.9/x
 x = (5x6.9)/6
 x = 5.80 cm

 2. If AC= 6.9 cm and AB= x:
 6/5 = x/6.9
 x = 6.9x6/5
 x = 8.30 cm

 Then, the answer is: 
 The longest possible length of the third side of the triangle is 8.30 cm and the and shortest length of it is 5.80 cm.</span>
