Which mixed number is equivalent to the improper fraction 4 2/5?

What is the equation of the line perpendicular to Y-3x+1 that passes through the point (12,-6)?

erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer:

$3y + x = -6$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

y = 3x + 1

Required

Equation of line that passes through (12,-6) and is perpendicular to y = 3x + 1

First, the slope of the line has to be calculated;

Th slope of a line is the coefficient of x in its linear equation;

This implies that the slope of y = 3x + 1 is 3

Having calculated the slope of the first line;

The relationship between both lines are perpendicularity; this implies that $m_1 * m_2 = -1$

Where m_1 = 3 and m_2 is the slope of the secodnd line

$m_1 * m_2 = -1$ becomes

$3 * m_2 = -1$

Divide both sides by 3

$\frac{3 *m_2}{m_2} = \frac{-1}{3}$

$m_2 = \frac{-1}{3}$

The equation of the line can be calculated using the folloing formula

$m = \frac{y - y_1}{x - x_1}$

Where $(x_1, y_1) = (12,-6)$ and $m_2 = \frac{-1}{3}$

The equation becomes

$\frac{-1}{3} = \frac{y -- 6}{x - 12}$

$\frac{-1}{3} = \frac{y + 6}{x - 12}$

Cross multiply

$-(x - 12)= 3(y + 6)$

$-x + 12=3y + 18$

Collect like terms

$12 - 18 = 3y +x$

$-6 = 3y + x$

$3y + x = -6$

Which is the graph of f(x) = StartRoot x EndRoot?

shusha [124]

Answer:

The 4th graph

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine which graph corresponds to the f(x) = \sqrt{x} we will start with inserting some values for x and see what y values we will obtain and then compare it with graphs.

f(1) = \sqrt{1} = 1\\f(2) = \sqrt{2} \approx 1.41\\f(4) = \sqrt{4} = 2\\f(9) = \sqrt{9} = 3

So, we can see that the pairs (1, 1), (2, 1.41), (4, 2), (3, 9) correspond to the fourth graph.

Do not be confused with the third graph - you can see that on the third graph there are also negative y values, which cannot be the case with the f(x) =\sqrt{x}, the range of that function is [0, \infty>, so there are only positive y values for f(x) = \sqrt{x}

nalin [4]

Answer:

Option 2 - Approximately 24–36 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : A standard American Eskimo dog has a mean weight of 30 pounds with a standard deviation of 2 pounds. Assuming the weights of standard Eskimo dogs are normally distributed.

To find : What range of weights would 99.7% of the dogs have?

Solution :

The range of 99.7% will lie between the mean ± 3 standard deviations.

We have given,

Mean weight of Eskimo dogs is $\mu=30$
