Steps to solve:
-4z + 4 + 12z = 3z + 4 + 5z
~Combine like terms
8z + 4 = 8z + 4
~Subtract 4 to both sides
8z = 8z
~Divide 8 to both sides
0 = 0
All real numbers are solutions.
Set builder notation: {x | R}
This is an identity since every value can be a solution to the equation.
Best of Luck!
Answer:
2.
Step-by-step explanation:
the coin could be heads or tails, but knowing me prolly 3 because I would lose the coin when I flip it.
Y = -1x+b
replace x and y to find b
2 = -1*2+ b
b = 4
Final:
y = -1x + 4

Find the equations of the altitudes of the triangle with vertices (4, 5),(-4, 1) and (2, -5). Do this by solving a system of two of two of the altitude equations and showing that the intersection point also belongs to the third line. </span>

<span>If we plot the points and connect them, we get this triangle:
Let point
A=(xA,yA)
B=(xB,yB)
C=(xC,yC)
-------------------------------
Let's find the equation of the segment AB
Start with the general formula
Plug in the given points
Simplify and combine like terms
So the equation of the line through AB is
-------------------------------
Let's find the equation of the segment BC
Start with the general formula
Plug in the given points
Simplify and combine like terms
So the equation of the line through BC is
-------------------------------
Let's find the equation of the segment CA
Start with the general formula
Plug in the given points
Simplify and combine like terms
So the equation of the line through CA is
So we have these equations of the lines that make up the triangle
So to find the equation of the line that is perpendicular to that goes through the point C(2,-5), simply negate and invert the slope to get
Now plug the slope and the point (2,-5) into
Solve for y and simplify
So the altitude for vertex C is
Now to find the equation of the line that is perpendicular to that goes through the point A(4,5), simply negate and invert the slope to get
Now plug the slope and the point (2,-5) into
Solve for y and simplify
So the altitude for vertex A is
Now to find the equation of the line that is perpendicular to that goes through the point B(-4,1), simply negate and invert the slope to get
Now plug the slope and the point (-4,1) into
Solve for y and simplify
So the altitude for vertex B is
------------------------------------------------------------
Now let's solve the system
Plug in into the first equation
Add 2x to both sides and subtract 2 from both sides
Divide both sides by 3 to isolate x
Now plug this into
So the orthocenter is (-2/3,1/3)
So if we plug in into the third equation , we get
So the orthocenter lies on the third altitude
