Find the distance from a point (4, 6) to the line y = 2x - 5.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

1.34 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

The line y = 2x - 5 has a slope of 2 so the line passing through the given point will be perpendicular to y= 2x - 5 and will have a slope of -1/2.

Let this line be y = -1/2x + c.

Its passes through (4, 6) so:

6 = -1/2*4 + c

6 = -2 + c

c = 6 + 2 = 8

So, equation of this line is y = -1/2x + 8.

Now we find the point where the 2 lines intersect:

y = 2x - 5

y = -1/2x + 8

2x - 5 = -1/2x + 8

2x + 1/2 x = 5 + 8

(5/2)x = 13

x = 26/5

  = 5.2.

and y = 2(5.2) - 5

          = 5.4.

So, the point of intersection is (5.2, 5.4)

and the distance between the point (4,6) and the line y = 2x - 5

= √((6 - 5.4)^2 + (4-5.2)^2)

= √(0.36 + 1.44)

= √1.8

= 1.34

There is a formula you can use directly to solve this.

You invest $8,000 in 3 investment accounts. The accounts are: paper, metal, and glass. Paper returns 2% income, metal returns 4% income, and glass returns 5% income. The amount invested in the glass account was double the amount invested in the metal account. The yield was a total of $280 at the end of one year. How much was invested in each account?

Answers

Using simple interest, the amounts invested into each account are given as follows:

Paper returns: $3,500.Metal returns: $1,500.Glass returns: $3,000.

Simple Interest

Simple interest is used when there is a single compounding per time period.

The amount of money after t years in is modeled by:

A(t) = P(1 + rt)

In which:

P is the initial amount.r is the interest rate, as a decimal.

The amount of interest after t years is given by:

I(t) = Prt

You invest $8,000 in 3 investment accounts, hence:

[tex]P_1 + P_2 + P_3 = 8000[/tex]

From the rates of the account, we have that:

[tex]I_1 = 0.02P_1[/tex][tex]I_2 = 0.04P_2[/tex][tex]I_3 = 0.05P_3[/tex]

The amount invested in the glass account was double the amount invested in the metal account, hence:

[tex]P_3 = 2P_2[/tex]

The yield was a total of $280 at the end of one year, hence:

[tex]I_1 + I_2 + I_3 = 280[/tex]

[tex]0.02P_1 + 0.04P_2 + 0.05P_3 = 280[/tex]

From the first and the third equations, we have that:

[tex]P_1 + P_2 + P_3 = 8000[/tex]

[tex]P_1 + 3P_2 = 8000[/tex]

[tex]P_1 = 8000 - 3P_2[/tex]

Hence the amount of the metal investment can be found as follows:

[tex]0.02P_1 + 0.04P_2 + 0.05P_3 = 280[/tex]

[tex]0.02(8000 - 3P_2) + 0.04P_2 + 0.05(2P_2) = 280[/tex]

[tex]0.08P_2 = 120[/tex]

[tex]P_2 = \frac{120}{0.08}[/tex]

[tex]P_2 = 1500[/tex]

Hence the other investments are given as follows:

Paper: 8000 - 3 x 1500 = $3,500.Glass: 2 x 1500 = $3,000.

Function A

f(x) = x − 9

Function B

graph of line going through ordered pairs negative 1, negative 3 and 2, 3

Which equation best compares the slopes of the two functions?

Slope of Function B = 2 x Slope of Function A
Slope of Function A = Slope of Function B
Slope of Function A = 2 x Slope of Function B
Slope of Function B = − Slope of Function A

Answers

The equation best compares the slopes of two functions is,

Slope of function B = 2 × Slope of function A

Given,

The function A, f(x) = x - 9

We have to find slope of Function B

The function is in the form of y = mx + b

Here, m is the slope.

y = x - 9

m is 1 and b is -9

Now, lets consider the graph of line passing through points (-1, -3) and (2, 3)

That is,

(x₁, y₁) = (-1, -3)

(x₂, y₂) = (2, 3)

Now we can find the slope of the line:

m = (y₂ - y₁) / (x₂ - x₁)

m = (3 - (-3)) / (2- (-1))

m = (3 + 3) / (2 + 1)

m = 6/3

m = 2

That is, the slope of function B is 2

Here,

Slope of function A is 1.

That is, slope of function B is twice the slope of function A.

Therefore, the equation best compares the slopes of two functions is,

Slope of function B = 2 × Slope of function A

Therefore, to plot the graph of a modular function, it is enough to adopt some values ​​for x and apply them to the function f(x) = | x |, in order to obtain their respective values ​​in y.

Find the value of x if T is the midpoint of segment XY. Segment XT = 3x-14, Segment XY = 8x-56

Answers

The value of x if T is the midpoint segment XY is 14.

How to find the mid point of a segment?

The midpoint is the middle point of a line segment.

It is equidistant from both endpoints.

The midpoint is halfway between the two end points.

Therefore, the end point of the segment is XY.

The midpoint is T.

Hence,

XY = XT + YT

XT = 3x - 14 = YT

XY = 8x - 56

Let's find the value x.

Therefore,

8x - 56  = 3x - 14 + 3x - 14

8x - 56 = 6x - 28

8x - 6x = -28 + 56

2x = 28

divide both sides by 2

x = 28 / 2

x = 14

Therefore, the value of x is 14

We can conclude that the probability of the randomly selected person does not use any facility is 0.

What is probability?Simply put, the probability is the likelihood that something will occur. When we don't know how an event will turn out, we can discuss the likelihood or likelihood of various outcomes.Statistics is the study of events that follow a probability distribution. The area of mathematics known as probability deals with numerical representations of the likelihood that an event will occur or that a proposition is true. An event's probability is a number between 0 and 1, where, roughly speaking, 0 denotes the event's impossibility and 1 denotes certainty.

So, the probability that the selected person does not uses any facility:

According to the given data, we can easily say that all the people use some or the other facility.So, there are 0 people present who do not use the facility.Then, the probability that the selected person does not use any facility will be 0.

Solve for s.
6/s = 2

Answers

Answer:

s=3

Step-by-step explanation:

So you have the equation: [tex]\frac{6}{s}=2[/tex]

If we multiply both sides by this "s" value we should maintain equality, and it conveniently cancels out our division by "s" on the left side giving us the following equation: [tex]6=2s[/tex]

The only "operation" on the value "s" is the coefficient of 2, which is multiplying the value of "s" by 2.

To undo this multiplication of 2, we simply divide by 2, since 2/2 = 1, and now we have a coefficient of 1 for the "s", which is the same as isolating "s"

But we want to divide both sides by 2 to maintain equality, so let's write out our expression

[tex]\frac{6}{2}=\frac{2s}{2}\implies3=\frac{2}{2}*s\implies 3=s[/tex]

We can double check this by plugging in this value for "s" in the original equation: [tex]s=3, \ \frac{6}{s}=2\implies \frac{6}{3}=2\implies 3=3[/tex] which is indeed true, so we have our solution!

a box contains 24 light bulbs of which four are defective. if one person selects 10 bulbs from the box in a random manner, and a second person then takes the remaining 14 bulbs, what is the probability that all four defective bulbs will be obtained by the same person?

Answers

The probability that all four defective bulbs will be obtained by the same person is 0.1140   .

In the question ;

it is given that

the total number of light bulbs in the box = 24 bulbs

total number of bulbs available for first person = 24 bulbs

number of defective bulbs = 4

So, the number of ways the first person can select 4 defective bulbs out of 10 selection = C(10,4)

total number of ways that first person can select 4 defective bulbs out of 24 bulbs  = C(24,4)

So , the Probability that all four defective bulbs obtained by first person = C(10,4)/C(24,4) . .......(i)

Since 10 bulbs have been selected

So, total number of bulbs available for second person = 14 bulbs

number of defective bulbs = 4

So, the number of ways the first person can select 4 defective bulbs out of 14 remaining bulbs = C(14,4)

total number of ways that first person can select 4 defective bulbs out of 24 bulbs  = C(24,4)

So , the Probability that all four defective bulbs obtained by second person = C(14,4)/C(24,4) . .....(ii)

Probability that all four of the defective bulbs will be obtained by the same person

= P(four defective bulbs obtained by first person) + P(four defective bulbs by second person)

Substituting the probabilities from (i) and (ii) , we get

= C(10,4)/C(24,4) + C(14,4)/C(24,4)

= (210/10626 )+(1001/10626) ...as C(10,4)=210 ,C(24,4)=10626, C(14,4)=1001

= 1211/10626

= 0.1139657

≈ 0.1140

Therefore , the probability that all four defective bulbs will be obtained by the same person is 0.1140   .
