Find the exact directed distance from the line 4x+3y=5 to the point (2,-5).
-----------------
It's the distance from the point perpendicular to the line.
---
Find the slope of the line
4x+3y=5
y = (-4/3)x + 5/3
Slope m = -4/3
The slope of lines perpendicular is the negative inverse = 3/4
---
Find the eqn of the perpendicular line thru the point
Use y = mx + b and the point to find b
-5 = (3/4)*2 + b
b = -13/2
--> y = (3/4)x - 7/2 thru the point perpendicular to the given line
Find the intersection of the 2 lines by solving for x & y of the system
y = (3/4)x - 13/2
y = (-4/3)x + 5/3
-----
(-4/3)x + 5/3 = (3/4)x - 13/2
-16x + 20 = 9x - 78
x = 98/25
---------
y = -89/25
------------------
Get the distance between the 2 points
d%5E2+=+diffy%5E2+-+diffx%5E2+=+%2836%2F25%29%5E2+%2B+%2848%2F25%29%5E2

Answer 402737 by Alan3354(30993) About Me  on 2012-08-21 08:43:03 (Show Source):

The imaging number specified i is the square root of;
------------
i+=+sqrt%28-1%29
It's called an imaginary number, not imaging.
----------
Using i is a convention, an agreement.
i or I is used for current in electrical calculations, so j is used instead of i for sqrt%28-1%29

A square's side is increased by 9 yards, which corresponds to an increase in the area by 333 square yards. How many yards is the side of the initial square?
--------------------
s = original side
(s+9)*(s+9) - s^2 = 333
18s + 81 = 333
s = 14

I thought it was a perfect square trinomial, but that doesn't make sense because of the + 1. And I tried factoring it out by taking 5y out, but that doesn't match the answer in the back of my book. I don't know how they got that answer. The answer to the question is (5y - 1)^2.

please help me write the slope-intercept equation if m= 7/9, and it passes through(5,6)
so far I did y-6=7/9(x+5)
----------
You subtracted the 6, but added the 5
----
Use y = mx + b and the point to find b
6 = (7/9)*5 + b
b = 19/9
--> y = 7x/9 + 19/9
==================
Or, y-6 = (7/9)*(x - 5)

if x²=x to the power of 3, give the two possible values for x
------
x%5E2+=+x%5E3
x%5E3+-+x%5E2+=+0
x = 0, 0, 1

A 3rd order equation always has 3 solutions. Sometimes it's the same number more than once.
In this case, x = 0 with a multiplicity of 2, and x = 1.

Solve.
2x - y - 3z = -1
2x - y + z = -9
x + 2y - 4z = 17
I got so far as;
2x - y - 3z = -1
4z = -8
3y - 5z = 35
Please help.
==================
You have z = -2 from eqn 1 & 2.
4z = -8
z = -2
--------
3y - 5z = 35 **** I don't know about that.
---
2x - y + z = -9
x + 2y - 4z = 17
---
2x - y + z = -9
2x + 4y -8z = 34 times 2
------------------ Subtract
-5y + 9z = -43
Sub for z
-5y - 18 = -43
y = 5
-------
Sub for y & z in any eqn to find x.

for the function f(x)=x^3-27x find the maximum and minimum points
-----------
f(x)=x^3-27x
f'(x) = 3x^2 - 27 = 0
x = -3, +3
--------------
f''(x) = 6x

Do it like this one:
------
I need 150 gallons of 10% solution but all i have is 5% and 20% solution. How much of the 5% and 20% solution do i need in order ti create 150 gallons of 10% solution?
===============
t = amount of 20%
f = amount of 5%
==========
t + f = 150
20t + 5f = 10*150
