Find an equation of the line that passes through the point (2, 1) and
is perpendicular to the line x + 2y=-2​

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

2x - y = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Given

x + 2y = - 2 ( subtract x from both sides )

2y = - x - 2 ( divide all terms by 2 )

y = - [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] x - 1 ← in slope- intercept form

with slope m = - [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]

Given a line with slope m then the slope of a line perpendicular to it is

[tex]m_{perpendicular}[/tex] = - [tex]\frac{1}{m}[/tex] = - [tex]\frac{1}{-\frac{1}{2} }[/tex] = 2 , thus

y = 2x + c ← is the partial equation

To find c substitute (2, 1) into the partial equation

1 = 4 + c ⇒ c = 1 - 4 = - 3

y = 2x - 3 ← equation in slope- intercept form

add 3 to both sides

y + 3 = 2x ( subtract y from both sides )

3 = 2x - y, thus

2x - y = 3 ← equation in standard form

When two triangles are congruent they will have exactly the same three sides and exactly the same three angles. The equal sides and angles may not be in the same position (if there is a turn or a flip), but they are there.

Now let's solve by using this statement..

1. Yes they are, cause they have excatly the same three sides and excatly the same three angles.

2. no they are not, cause they do not have excatly the same three sides and excatly the same three angles.

Two similar cylindrical cans hold 2 litres and 6.75 litres of liquid. If the diameter of the smaller can is 16cm, find the diameter of the larger can.

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that,

Volume of the cylindrical can 1 is 2 litres and that of cylindrical can 2 is 6.75 litres. The diameter of the smaller can is 16 cm. We need to find the diameter of the larger can.

The formula of the volume of a cylinder is given by :

[tex]V=\pi r^2h[/tex]

So,

[tex]\dfrac{V_1}{V_2}=\dfrac{r_1^2}{r_2^2}[/tex]

Diameter, d = 2r

[tex]\dfrac{V_1}{V_2}=\dfrac{(d_1/2)^2}{(d_2/2)^2}\\\\\dfrac{V_1}{V_2}=(\dfrac{d_1^2}{d_2^2})[/tex]

V₁ = 2 L, V₂ = 6.75 L, d₁ = 16 cm, d₂ = ?

[tex]\dfrac{2}{6.75}=(\dfrac{16^2}{d_2^2})\\\\d_2=29.39\ cm[/tex]

So, the diameter of the larger can is 29.39 cm.

Is 5.7c-1.5+3.2c=7.8c-1.5+1.1c a one solution problem?

Answers

Answer:

This is NOT a one solution problem.

Step-by-step explanation:

Group all terms with a c in it to the left of the equal sign, and group all numbers to the right of the equal sign.

5.7c-1.5+3.2c=7.8c-1.5+1.1c

5.7c + 3.2c - 7.8c - 1.1c = - 1.5 + 1.5

8.9c - 8.9c = 0

0 = 0

No matter which number you substitute for c, it will always be true. Since you can find infinity of solutions, this is NOT a one solution problem.

Complete Question:

Identify the type of sampling used​ (random, systematic,​ convenience, stratified, or cluster​ sampling) in the situation described below;

A researcher selects every 890th social security number and surveys the corresponding person. Which type of sampling did the researcher ​use?

Answer:

Systematic sampling.

Step-by-step explanation:

In Statistics, sampling can be defined as a process used to collect or select data (objects, observations, or individuals) from a larger statistical population using specific procedures.

There are various types of sampling used by researchers and these are;

1. Random sampling.

2. Convenience sampling.

3. Stratified sampling.

4. Cluster sampling.

5. Systematic sampling.

A systematic sampling is a type of probability sampling method which involves the researcher selecting or collecting data from a larger population.

Under systematic sampling method, samples are selected from an ordered (fixed) sample population at periodic interval. Therefore, numbers are assigned to every member of the population and then, the "nth" member are selected by the researcher after choosing a fixed starting point.

In this scenario, the researcher selects every 890th social security number and surveys the corresponding person.

Hence, the type of sampling used by the researcher ​is systematic sampling.

The perimeter of a rectangle is 141 feet, and the length is twice the width. What are the dimensions ?

Answers

Answer:

The width is 23.5 ft and the length is 47 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter of a rectangle is given by

P = 2(l+w)

141 = 2(l+w)

The length is twice the width

l = 2w

141 = 2 ( 2w+w)

141 = 2( 3w)

141 = 6w

Divide each side by 6

141/6 = 6w/6

23.5 = w

l = 2w = 2(23.5) = 47

The width is 23.5 ft and the length is 47 ft

Answer:

[tex]\boxed{Width = 23.5 \ feet}[/tex]

[tex]\boxed{Length = 47 \ feet}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Length be l and Width be w

Perimeter = 2(Length) + 2(Width)

Condition # 1:

2l+2w = P

=> 2 l + 2 w = 141

Condition # 2:

=> l = 2w

Putting the second equation in the first one

=> 2(2w)+2w = 141

=> 4w + 2w = 141

=> 6w = 141

Dividing both sides by 6

=> Width = 23.5 feet

Given that

=> l = 2w

=> l = 2(23.5)

=> Length = 47 feet

3/x-2, i'm confused as to what the horizontal asymptote is. The resources I found online conclude that it has a horizontal asymptote of y=0. I know that in order for a horizontal asymptote to be y=0, the denominator has to have a greater degree than the numerator. Im confused because doesn't the numerator have the same degree as the denominator (degree of 1)?

Answers

Answer:

y = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

f(x) = [tex]\frac{3}{x-2}[/tex]

The degree of the numerator is zero 0 (  3[tex]x^{0}[/tex] )

The degree of the denominator is 1

Since the degree of denominator > degree of numerator.

Then there is a horizontal asymptote at y = 0

Peter walked 10m from X to Y on bearing 020° and then he turned and walked 20m to Z with bearing 140° of Z from Y. Find the distance between X and Z. Find the bearing of Z from X.

Answers

Answer:

17.32m ; 110°

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance between X and Z

To calculate the distance between X and Z

y^2 = x^2 + z^2 - (2xz)*cosY

x = 20, Z = 10

y^2 = 20^2 + 10^2 - (2*20*10)* cos60°

y^2 = 400 + 100 - (400)* 0.5

y^2 = 500 - 200

y^2 = 300

y = sqrt(300)

y = 17.32m

Bearing of Z from X:

Using cosine rule :

Cos X = (y^2 + z^2 - x^2) / 2yz

Cos X = (300 + 100 - 400) / (2 * 20 '*10)

Cos X = 0 / 400

Cos X = 0

X = cos^-1 (0)

X = 90°

Bearing of Z from X

= 20° + X

= 20° + 90°

= 110°

(8x^2 + 4x^2 + 100) - (2x + 5)

Answers

Answer:

[tex]4x^2 - 8x + 20[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct equation is:

[tex]8x^3 + 4x^2 + 100[/tex]

We want to divide that by (2x + 5)

To do the long division, divide each term by 2x and then subtract the product of the result and (2x + 5) from the remaining part of the equation.

When you get to 0, you have reached the end of the division.

Whatever term you get from each step of division is part of the quotient.

Go over the steps above carefully while following them below:

Step 1:

Divide [tex]8x^3[/tex] by 2x. You get [tex]4x^2[/tex].

Step 2

Multiply [tex]4x^2[/tex] by (2x + 5)  and subtract from [tex]8x^3 + 4x^2 + 100[/tex]:

[tex]8x^3 + 4x^2 + 100[/tex] - ([tex]8x^3 + 20x^2[/tex]) = [tex]-16x^2 + 100[/tex]

Step 3

Divide [tex]-16x^2[/tex] by 2x. You get [tex]-8x[/tex].

Step 4

Multiply -8x by (2x + 5) and subtract from [tex]-16x^2 + 100[/tex]:

[tex]-16x^2 + 100[/tex] - ([tex]-16x^2 - 40x[/tex]) = 40x + 100

Step 5

Divide 40x by 2x. You get 20.

Step 6

Multiply 20 by (2x + 5) and subtract from 40x + 100:

40x + 100 - (40x + 100) = 0

From the three steps of the division, we got [tex]4x^2[/tex], -8x and 20.

Therefore, the quotient is [tex]4x^2 - 8x + 20[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Looking at the options;

-It's not a completely randomized design because a randomized design will assign all individuals to a group which in this case it doesn't.

- It's not a randomized block design because randomized block design will group the subjects in question into 2 or more blocks which have a common characteristic and will then randomly assign subjects in each of the blocks.

-It's a matched pair because every individual/subject undergoes measurements both before and after being treated with the drugs.

Thus, the correct option is matched pairs design.
