Hi
Using the standard slope-intercept form for an equation of a line y = mx + b
where m is the slope and b the y-intercept.
y = A+B(x-3)
y = Bx - 3B + A | ⊥ to y = 2x, therefore it's slope will be m = -1/2
B = -1/2
y = (-1/2)x +3/2 + A |using ordered pair pt(5,15) to solve for A
15 = -5/2 + 3/2 + A
16 = A
CHECKING our Answer
y = 16 -(1/2)(x-3)
15 = 16 -(1/2)(5-3)
15 = 16 - 1

Hi
if h=0 what is the answer to h=-16t^2+625
-16t^2 + 625 = 0 |multiplying thru by -1
16t^2 - 625 = 0
16t^2 = 625
t^2 = 625/16
t = ± 25/4

Trigonometry-basics/397346: In a triangle abc,|ac|=16cm,|bc|=10cm, ∠bac=30 degrees. If ∠abc = 90 degrees, find

Answer 281643 by ewatrrr(10682) About Me  on 2011-01-20 13:17:26 (Show Source):

Hi
Note using < for angle does not work in the translation for this site.
|ac| has another meaning than for side lengths of triangles,
might recommend just using 'ac'
In a triangle abc,|ac|=16cm,|bc|=10cm, ∠bac=30 degrees. If ∠abc = 90 degrees, find |ab|
ac is across from the right angle and therefore length 16cm is the hypotenuse
Pythagorean Theorem applies: ac = sqrt(16cm^2 - 10cm^2) = 12.49cm




Linear-equations/397345: I am trying to decide wether each pair of lines is Perpendicular, parallel, or neither. 2x-y=5, 2x+y=3
I have worked out:
2x-y=5
2x-y-5=5-5
2x-y-5=0
2x-y+y-5=0+y
2x-5=y
I plugged 2 in for x
2(2)-5=y
4-5=y
-1=y
2x+y=3
2x+3=y
Plugged in 2 for x again
2(2)+3=y
4+3=y
7=y
In my book it says that the answer is neither Perpendicular or parallel but I don't understand why that is. I thought if you were solving for y the coefficient of x is the slope so wouldn't the slope on both be 2?

Answer 281639 by ewatrrr(10682) About Me  on 2011-01-20 12:59:39 (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!

Hi
2x-y = 5 OR y = 2x - 5 |good work!
2x+y=3 OR y = -2x + 3 |note subtracting 2x from both sides of the equation
Yes!! solving for y, the coefficient of x is the slope
to be parallel, line must have same slope
to be ⊥, lines must have slopes that are negative 'reciprocals' of one another
Neither is the case, therefore the lines are neither parallel or perpendicular.
However, Yes!, they do intersect at Pt (2,-1)...have that point in common



Linear_Equations_And_Systems_Word_Problems/397341: The sum of two integers is 30. Two times the larger integer is 10 less than five times the smaller integer. Find the integers.

Hi
The sum of two integers is 30
Let x and (30-x) represent the smaller and larger number respectively
Question states***
2(30-x) = 5x -10
solving for x
60 - 2x = 5x-10
70 = 7x
x = 10, the smaller number. The larger number is 20. (30-10)
CHECKING our Answer***
40 = 50 - 10

Answer 281636 by ewatrrr(10682) About Me  on 2011-01-20 12:42:19 (Show Source):

Hi
simplify the expression. 16 + (x + 4) = x + 20
simplify the expression. (8 * b) * 4 = 32b
the sum of a number and 16 is 31.
x + 16 = 31 |subtracting 16 from both sides of equation
x = 15 | x is equal to 15
the difference of 22 and a number is 8.
22 - y = 8 |subtracting 8 and adding y to both sides of equation
14 = y | y is equal to 14
Note: when solving, we must isolate the variable on one side of the equation,
so as, we can 'read' the solution

Hi
Using the point-slope formula, m+=%28y%5B2%5D+-+y%5B1%5D%29%2F%28x%5B2%5D+-+x%5B1%5D%29 to find slope
(7,10) and
(4,2) m = 8/3, the slope of the line containg these points
Using the standard slope-intercept form for an equation of a line y = mx + b
where m is the slope and b the y-intercept.
y = (8/3)x + b |using ordered pair Pt(4,2) to solve for b
2 = 32/3 + b
-26/3 = b
y = (8/3)x -20/3
Pt(5,5) is the point of intersection of these lines according to the graph
CHECKING our Answer:
x = (8/3)x -20/3, 3x = 8x - 20, 20 = 5x, x = 5 and y = 5 (y = x)

Hi
y = 12x^3-12x
Finding the zeros of the function
12x^3 - 12x = 0
12x(x^2 - 1) = 0
12x(x+1)(x-1)= 0
12x = 0 x = 0
(x+1)=0 x = -1
(x-1)= 0 x = 1

Hi
Using the vertex form of a parabola, y=a%28x-h%29%5E2+%2Bk where(h,k) is the vertex
f%28x%29=%281%2F4%29%28x%2B1%29%5E2%2B5 |1/4 = a > 0, parabola opens upward
Vertex is Pt(-1,5)is minimum point and the Line of symmetry is x = -1
f(x) = 5 is the minimum value for the function

Rectangles/397253: "The area of a square is 45 square centimeters. How long is the width?"
I tried taking 45 and finding the square root but, that only lead to 6.74687654387357, or something like that, and the answers are A-22 sqrt( 5 ) cm,
B-2 sqrt( 10 ) cm, C-20cm, D-10cm, E- 3 sqrt( 5 ) cm
After i saw this i tried finding perfect square roots that divided equally into 45 i think 9 is the only one so would the answer be E?

Hi, have plotted respective images with a larger circle.
The idea being if one were to fold along line referenced, points would 'match' up
Hope this helps

i) x-axis (-2,-3)
ii) y-axis (2,3)

image of A(-2, 3)
iii) y = x (3,-2)
iv) y = -x (-3,2)

v) x = 1 (4,3)
vi) y = -2 (-2,-7)

Hi
Solving by elimination method
0.05x+0.25y=66
0.15x+0.05y=72
-.15x -.75y = -198 |mulitplying 1st equation by -3 to eliminate x
0.15x +.05y = 72
-.70y = -126
y = 126/.70
y = 180
0.05x + 0.25y=66
x = (66-45)/.05
x = 420
CHECKING our Answer
0.15*420 + 0.05*180 = 63 + 9 = 72

Hi
Let x represent the speed of the plane
Questions states*** (D = r*t OR r = D/t
x + 30 = D/5
x - 30 = D/7
2x = (12/35) D
x = (6/35)D

x + 30 = D /5
(6/35)D + 30 = D/5
30 = (1/35)D
30*35 = D
1050mi = D
x = (6/35)1050 = 180mph

Hi
y = 5x-2 is a function describing ordered pairs that form a line when graphed
the standard slope-intercept form for an equation of a line is: y = mx + b
where m is the slope and b the y-intercept.
y = 5x-2 is a line with slope m = 5 and the y-intercept is Pt(0,-2)
m = (5/1)as y increases/decreases by 5, x increases/decreases by 1
Note: Plotting Pt(0,-2) and using slope to find at least one more point,
joining these points with a line completes the graphing

Hi
Ax + 3y = -3 |using ordered pair Pt(2,-5) to solve for A. (x= 2 and y= -5 )
A*2 + 3(-5) = -3
A*2 -15 = -3
2A = 12
A = 6
