The required equation will be y = -1/3x + 21/4 in slope-intercept form.

The general equation of a line is y = mx + c

where m is the slope of the line and c is the intercept.

First, we need to determine the slope of the given line.

y = 4/9x - 6

Here the slope of the given line is 4/9.

The required line is perpendicular to a given line

So the  required line's slope will be m₂ = -1 / (4/9) = -9/4

The line passes through the point (5, -6) which is given in the question,

Now we can use the point-slope form of a line to create the equation of the new line:

(y + 6) = (-9/4) (x - 5)

y = (-9/4)x + 45/4  - 6

y = -1/3x + 21/4

Hence, the required equation will be y = -1/3x + 21/4 in slope-intercept form.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Use new exponent rules like:

A power raised to a power is the product of the powers. (power to a power, times the exponents)

and,

Square root is a half power. (Converting radicals to fractional exponents)

Also, you can multiply in any order, like since you learned multiplying (example: 2×6 is the same as 6×2)

see image.

Here's the plan:

Change the radical to a 1/2 exponent. Now 3 and 1/2 are both exponents. Rearrange the order. Rewrite in radical form again.

The proof of the equation  (√5)³ = √(5³) is given below.

Exponentiation is one of the mathematics operation.

Let mᵃ, where m and a are the real numbers.

And m is multiplied by a times to itself.

So, a is the exponent of m.

Given:

A radical equation,

(√5)³ = √(5³).

LHS =  (√5)³

Simplifying,

(√5)³ = {(5[tex])^{1/2}[/tex]}³

The end behavior of given polynomial function f(x) = 5 + 7x - 9x^2 + 4^3,

as x → -∞, f(x) → -∞

as x → ∞, f(x) → -∞

In this question, we have been given a polynomial function

f(x) = 5 + 7x - 9x^2 + 4^3

We need to  state the end behavior of f(x).

The graph of f(x) is as shown below.

We can observe that as x tends to -∞, f(x) → -∞

Also, as x → ∞, f(x) → -∞

We know that the end behavior of polynomial function is determined by the degree of the polynomial and the leading coefficient.

For given polynomial function, the degree of this polynomial is 2.

The leading coefficient is -9

We know that for polynomial function of even degree, the ends of the function graph point in the same direction.

Therefore, the end behavior of given polynomial function f(x) = 5 + 7x - 9x^2 + 4^3,

as x → -∞, f(x) → -∞

Answer:

Gift aid  68.38 £

Step-by-step explanation:

Proportion:

273.50 £  -    100%

X £            -      25%

Gift aid:

X = 273.50·25% / 100% = 273.50 / 4 ≈ 68.38 £

Answer:

$1053

Step-by-step explanation:

If we have that £1 = $1.62, then we can multiply both sides by 650 in order to get £650 on the left side of the equality. We must multiply the right side also by 650, and so we get £650=$1.62 * 650.

To do this multiplication, we can break 1.62 down  simply into $1.00 +$0.6+$0.02

650*$1.00=$650, 650*$0.6=650*6/10=65*6=$390, and 650*$0.02=650*2/100=6.5*2=$13.

When we add these three products together, we get $650+$390+$13=$1053. And so, £650=$1053

The value of game is 0.0769 .

Formula for Expected Value of Game :

Expected Value of Game = ( Probability of Winning * Profit ) + ( Probability of Losing * Loss )

The length of the line segment defined by two endpoints; negative 3 comma 10 to 4 comma negative 1 as required in the task content is; 13.04.

It follows from the task content that the length of the line segment whose endpoints are as given in the task content is to be determined.

Recall; The length of a line segment whose endpoints are defined by; (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) is given as;

Length = √{ (y2 - y1)² + (x2 - x1)² }

Therefore, since the given endpoints are; (-3, 10) and (4, -1), it follows that the length of the line segment in discuss is;

Length = √{ (-1 - 10)² + (4 - (-3))² }

Length = √(121 + 49)

According to the question,

We have the following number:

900

This number needs to prime factorized. So, first it can be divided by 2 (450), again 450 can be divided by 2 (225), it can be divided by 3 (75), it can again be divided by 3 (25), this can be divided by 5 (5) and it will be finally divided by 5.

2*2*3*3*5*5

In index form, it will be written as follows:

[tex]2^{2} *3^{2} *5^{2}[/tex]

Answer:

The value of x is 10.6 which is equivalent to 11.

In the given triangle

the triangle is divided into two triangles which are both right angled

However in the bigger triangle

we would use the Pythagoras Theorem

( y + 6 )² = x² + 100 ---------- equation 1

In the smaller triangle;

x² = y² + 64 --------------equation 2

Thus substituting the value of x in equation 1

Thus the equation becomes

( y + 6 )² = y² + 64 + 100

y² + 36 + 12x = y² + 164

Cancelling y² on both sides we will get

36 + 12x = 164

12x = 164 - 36

this implies 12 x = 128

x = [tex]\frac{128}{12}[/tex]

x = 10.6 ≈ 11

Thus the required value of x is 10.6 or 11

Step-by-step explanation:

so, we have 2 cost functions. each consisting of 1 large centerpiece, and x smaller arrangements.

cost1(x) = 19x + 50

cost2(x) = 23x + 42

to get the value for x we know that the cost is the same either way.

that means

cost1(x) = cost2(x) = 19x + 50 = 23x + 42

19x + 50 = 23x + 42

50 = 4x + 42

8 = 4x

x = 2

so, she orders 2 small arrangements.

In statistics, correlation or dependence is any statistical relationship, whether causal or not, between two random variables or bivariate data. Although in the broadest sense, "correlation" may indicate any type of association, in statistics it usually refers to the degree to which a pair of variables are linearly related. Familiar examples of dependent phenomena include the correlation between the height of parents and their offspring, and the correlation between the price of a good and the quantity the consumers are willing to purchase, as it is depicted in the so-called demand curve.

Your body shape changes naturally as you age. You cannot avoid some of these changes, but your lifestyle choices may slow or speed the process.

The human body is made up of fat, lean tissue (muscles and organs), bones, and water. After age 30, people tend to lose lean tissue. Your muscles, liver, kidney, and other organs may lose some of their cells. This process of muscle loss is called atrophy. Bones may lose some of their minerals and become less dense (a condition called osteopenia in the early stages and osteoporosis in the later stages). Tissue loss reduces the amount of water in your

The amount of body fat goes up steadily after age 30. Older people may have almost one third more fat compared to when they were younger. Fat tissue builds up toward the center of the body, including around the internal organs. However, the layer of fat under the skin gets smaller.

The tendency to become shorter occurs among all races and both sexes. Height loss is related to aging changes in the bones, muscles, and joints. People typically lose almost one-half inch (about 1 centimeter) every 10 years after age 40. Height loss is even more rapid after age 70. You may lose a total of 1 to 3 inches (2.5 to 7.5 centimeters) in height as you age. You can help prevent height loss by following a healthy diet, staying physically active, and preventing and treating bone loss.
