write an equation in slope intercept form, passes through (-1,-10), parallel to y=7

Answers

The line y=7 is a horizontal line with a slope of 0.
Slope intercept form of 
y=mx+b 

would be
y-y1=m(x-x1)
m=0 and point of (-1,-10)
y-(-10)=0

y=-10

An equation in slope intercept form, passes through (-1,-10), parallel to y=7 is y = -10 .

What is slope?

The slope of a line is defined as the change in y coordinate with respect to the change in x coordinate of that line. The slope of a line is the measure of the steepness and the direction of the line.  

What is standard form of slope for line and point ?

The slope intercept formula y = mx + b is used when you know the slope of the line to be examined and the point given is also the y intercept (0, b). In the formula, b represents the y value of the y intercept point.

According to the question

An equation in slope intercept form,

passes through (-1,-10), parallel to y = 7

now,

When line is y = 7

that means , x = 0

and it is also a horizontal line , i.e slope (m) = 0

As, Parallel lines have same slope .

By using slope intercept formula for  (-1,-10)

y = mx + b

substituting the value

-10 = 0 + b

b = -10

Therefore, putting values in general equation of slope intercept for any point

y = mx + b

y = -10  

Hence, an equation in slope intercept form, passes through (-1,-10), parallel to y=7 is y = -10 .

Using complete sentences, explain how to find the minimum value for each function and determine which function has the smallest minimum y-value. G(x) = 2 sin (x-π) F(x) = 3x^2 + 12x + 16

Answers

G(x): no matter what x is, the minimum of sin is -1, so G(x) has a minimus of 2*(-1), which is -2
to find the minimum of F(x), it is a quadratic equation, the minimum or maximum is when x=-b/(2a). In this case, a=3, b=12, so x=-2
Plug x=-2 into the equation, you will get F(x)=4, so the minimum y value is 4

Note: when a is positive, the parabola opens upward, the function has a minimum y value. when a is negative, the parabola opens downward, the function has a maximum value

The minimum of G(x) is -2 and of F(x) is 4 So, G(x) has the smallest minimum y-value.

The function G(x) is a sine function. The sine function, sin(x), has a range of -1 to 1. The minimum value of sin(x) is -1. Since G(x) = 2 sin(x - π), we multiply the minimum value of sin(x) by 2.

The minimum value of sin(x - π) is:

sin(x - π) = -1

Thus, the minimum value of G(x) is:

2 * (-1) = -2

To find the minimum value of a quadratic function, we use the vertex formula, x = -b / 2a. For F(x), a = 3, b = 12, and c = 16.

The x-coordinate of the vertex is:

x = -12 / (2 * 3) = -12 / 6 = -2

Substitute x = -2 into the function to find the minimum y-value:

F(-2) = 3(-2)² + 12(-2) + 16

F(-2) = 3(4) - 24 + 16 = 12 - 24 + 16 = 4

#12 if measure of angle 1 = 19x +1 and measure of angle 5 = 15x +13 then measure of angle 1 =? X=?

Answers

By looking at the given picture, we can see that angle 1 and 5 are alternate exterior angles, which makes them equal. So, if we equate the two given expressions together, we get:
19x + 1 = 15x + 13
Now, all we need to do is solve for x and then plug it back into the expression for angle 1 to get its measure. We find that x = 3, so if we plug it back into the expression for angle 1, we get 56 degrees. The measure of angle 1 is 56 degrees

The difference between the roots of the quadratic equation x2+x+c=0 is 6. Find c.

Answers

We have that
[tex]x_{1} - x_{2} = 6[/tex]
Let y be the first root, then y - 6 will be the second one. Since both roots make the quadratic equation equal to 0, we have that:
[tex] y^{2} + y + c = (y - 6)^{2} + (y - 6) +c[/tex]
Solve for y:
[tex]y^{2} +y +c = y^{2} - 12y + 36 + y - 6 +c \\ y + 12y - y = 30 \\ y = \frac{5}{2} [/tex]
Plug in y = 5/2 into original quadratic equation and solve for c:
[tex]( \frac{5}{2}) ^{2} + \frac{5}{2} +c = 0 \\ c= - \frac{5}{2} - \frac{25}{4} \\ c = - \frac{35}{4} [/tex]
So, the answer is c = -35/4

To solve this question:

First, we compare with the standard quadratic equation to find a, b and c.Then, we apply Bhaskara to find the roots, as function of c.Then, since the difference is 6, we use this to find c.

Doing this, we get that: [tex]c = -\frac{35}{4}[/tex]

Solving a quadratic equation:

Given a second order polynomial expressed by the following equation:

[tex]ax^{2} + bx + c, a\neq0[/tex].

This polynomial has roots [tex]x_{1}, x_{2}[/tex] such that [tex]ax^{2} + bx + c = a(x - x_{1})*(x - x_{2})[/tex], given by the following formulas:

[tex]x_{1} = \frac{-b + \sqrt{\Delta}}{2*a}[/tex]

[tex]x_{2} = \frac{-b - \sqrt{\Delta}}{2*a}[/tex]

[tex]\Delta = b^{2} - 4ac[/tex]

x²+x+c=0

Comparing with the standard second order equation, which is:

[tex]ax^2 + bx + c = 0[/tex]

We get that:

[tex]a = 1, b = 1[/tex]

Finding the roots:

[tex]\Delta = b^{2} - 4ac = 1^2 - 4(1)(c) = 1 - 4c[/tex]

[tex]x_{1} = \frac{-1 + \sqrt{1 - 4c}}{2}[/tex]

[tex]x_{2} = \frac{-1 - \sqrt{1 - 4c}}{2}[/tex]

Difference of 6

Thus:

[tex]x_1 - x_2 = 6[/tex]

[tex]\frac{-1 + \sqrt{1 - 4c}}{2} - \frac{-1 - \sqrt{1 - 4c}}{2} = 6[/tex]

[tex]-\frac{1}{2} + \frac{\sqrt{1 - 4c}}{2} + \frac{1}{2} + \frac{\sqrt{1 - 4c}}{2} = 6[/tex]

[tex]\frac{2\sqrt{1 - 4c}}{2} = 6[/tex]

[tex]\sqrt{1 - 4c} = 6[/tex]

[tex](\sqrt{1 - 4c})^2 = 6^2[/tex]

[tex]1 - 4c = 36[/tex]

[tex]-4c = 35[/tex]

[tex]4c = -35[/tex]

[tex]c = -\frac{35}{4}[/tex]

Thus, [tex]c = -\frac{35}{4}[/tex] is the value.

The fuel for a chain saw is a mix of oil and gasoline. The ratio of ounces of oil to gallons of gasoline is 5:18. There are 36 gallons of gasoline. How many ounces of oil are there?
16 ounces
10 ounces
129.6 ounces
2.5 ounces

Answers

oil / gas

5/18 = x / 36....5 oz oil to 18 gal gas = x oz oil to 36 gal gas
cross multiply because this is a proportion
(18)(x) = (36)(5)
18x = 180
x = 180/18
x = 10 <=== so there is 10 oz of oil
Final answer:

The amount of oil, in ounces, in the fuel mix can be found using a proportion with the given ratio and the amount of gasoline.

Explanation:

To find the number of ounces of oil, we need to use the given ratio and the amount of gasoline. The ratio of oil to gasoline is 5:18, meaning that for every 5 ounces of oil, there are 18 gallons of gasoline. Since we know that there are 36 gallons of gasoline, we can set up a proportion to find the number of ounces of oil:

5 ounces / 18 gallons = x ounces / 36 gallons

Cross multiplying, we get:

18x = 5 * 36

Simplifying further:

18x = 180

Dividing both sides by 18, we get:

x = 10 ounces

1.42815 = -1/-0.70 

so answer is  1.43

Answer:

B. 1.43

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]tan (145) = tan (180 -35)= -tan 35 = -\frac{1}{1.43}\\tan 35 =\frac{1}{1.43}[/tex]

Because tan (90+θ) = -cot θ

tan (-125) can be written as:

tan θ x cot θ =1

⇒tan 35 x cot 35 = 1

The length of a rectangle is 2 cm longer than its width. if the perimeter of the rectangle is 36 cm , find its area.

Answers

The area is 80 cm squared
Final answer:

The area of the rectangle is 80 square cm.

Explanation:

To find the area of a rectangle, we need to know the length and width. Let's denote the width of the rectangle as 'w'. As given, the length of the rectangle is 2 cm longer than its width, so the length can be represented as 'w + 2'.

The perimeter of a rectangle is the sum of all four sides. In this case, it is given as 36 cm. Using the formula for the perimeter of a rectangle, we can set up the equation:

2(w + w + 2) = 36

Simplifying the equation:

4w + 4 = 36

4w = 32

w = 8

Substituting the value of 'w' back into the expression for length:

Length = 8 + 2 = 10

The area of a rectangle is given by the formula: area = length × width. So, the area of this rectangle is:

Area = 10 × 8 = 80 square cm

find sin x if cos x= 2/3 and x is in quadrant 4

Answers

yes you'll use the half angle identities to solve...it sounds like you understand how to use them just not which sign to use.

This is actually pretty easy. All you have to do is know what quadrant your angle is in and that will determine the sign.

Quadrant1 = all trig functions are positive
Quadrant2 = sine is positive and cosine and tangent are negative
Quadrant3 = tangent is positive and sine and cosine are negative
Quadrant4 = cosine is positive and sine and tangent are negative

since your original angle is in quadrant 4 then the half angle will be in Quadrant 2

so the sine of the half angle is positive and the cosine of the half angle is negative
the sine is negative in quadrant 4

-6x=-7.2---->x=7.2/6 or 1.27
4(1.27)+6y=7.2---->5.08+6y=7.2----> 6y=2.12
y=.35
x=lemons  y=limes

Answer: The cost of 1 lemon is $1.2 and the cost of 1 lime is $0.4.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the cost of 1 lemon and y be the cost of 1 lime.

Then for Ray, the equation representing total price will be :-

[tex]5x+3y=7.20[/tex]................................(1)

For Lia, the equation representing total price will be :-

[tex]4x+6y=7.20[/tex]..................................(2)

Dividing 2 on the both sides of equation (2), we get

[tex]2x+3y=3.60[/tex]...............................(3)

Subtracting (3) from (1), we get

[tex]3x=3.6\\\\\Rightarrow x=1.2[/tex]

Substitute value of x in (3), we get

[tex]2(1.2)+3y=3.6\\\\\Rightarrow2.4+3y=3.6\\\\\Rightarrow3y=1.2\\\\\Rightarrow y=0.4[/tex]

Thus, the cost of 1 lemon is $1.2 and the cost of 1 lime is $0.4.
