Segment AB falls on line 2x − 4y = 8. Segment CD falls on line 4x + 2y = 8. What is true about segments AB and CD? They are perp

endicular because they have the same slope of −2. They are perpendicular because they have slopes that are opposite reciprocals of −2 and one half. They are lines that lie exactly on top of one another because they have the same slope and the same y-intercept.

Answer:

They are perpendicular because they have slopes that are opposite reciprocals of −2 and one half.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's solve each equation for y and put it in the y = mx + b form. Then m is the slope, and we can tell if the lines are parallel or perpendicular or neither.

2x - 4y = 8

-4y = -2x + 8

<em>y = 1/2 x - 2; </em><em>m = 1/2</em>

4x + 2y = 8

2y = -4x + 8

<em>y = -2x + 4; </em><em>m = -2</em>

Now that both equations are in the slope-intercept form, we see that the slopes are 1/2 and -2.

The slopes are opposite reciprocals, -2 and 1/2, so the lines are perpendicular.

Answer: They are perpendicular because they have slopes that are opposite reciprocals of −2 and one half.

Answer:

They are perpendicular because they have slopes that are opposite reciprocals of −2 and one half.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is because x = -2 and half of -2 is 1

when we use CD line and x2 we find 8x+4y=16 when added to 2x -4y=8 would equal 10x+4y = 2 1/2 xy = 16

When we use for AB line we see they are perpendicular 2 1/2 x 2 = 5 -4y = 8 shows y to be -2 and the 1/2 line leaves -2 1/2 and x also is 2 1/2.

What is the multiplicative rate of change for the exponential function f(x) = f start bracket x end bracket equals two start bra
jeka94

Answer:

The multiplicative rate of change is \dfrac{2}{5}.

Step-by-step explanation:

You are given the function

f(x)=2\cdot \left(\dfrac{5}{2}\right)^{-x}

First, use the following property of exponents

\left(\dfrac{a}{b}\right)^{-x}=\left(\dfrac{b}{a}\right)^{x}

So, your function is

f(x)=2\cdot \left(\dfrac{2}{5}\right)^{x}

If the exponential function is written in the form

f(x)=a\cdot b^x,

then b is the multiplicative rate of change for this exponential function.

In your case, the multiplicative rate of change is \dfrac{2}{5}.

Annette [7]
<h2>Explanation:</h2>

A cube is a prism whose sides all have the same length. You can think of a cube like the three dimensional version of a square. In this problem, we know that Mary is using a microscope in order to look at a salt crystal and discovers it is shaped like a cube. Each square face has side length:

s=0.1mm

This diagram is shown in the first figure below. A crystal's square face is one of the six faces of the cube. So in order to draw it we need to know how many units we'll have in each side. Since we know that 1 unit on the grid represents 0.01mm, then:

No. \ units=\frac{0.1mm}{0,01mm}=10

So we will have 10 units that measure 0.01mm in each side. This is shown in the second figure below.

Air pressure may be represented as a function of height above the surface of the Earth as shown below. P(h)=PoE^-.00012h In this
AlexFokin [52]

The equation to find the air pressure (P(h)) at a height above sea level (h) is given by

P(h)=P_{0} e^{-0.00012h}

Where,

  • P(h) is the new pressure at height h
  • P_{0} is the air pressure at sea level, and
  • h is the height (measured in meters).

We want to know the new pressure that is 65% of P_0.  So we should substitute 0.65P_0 in P(h) (new pressure) to get the equation:

0.65P_0=P_0e^{-0.00012h}. Answer choice B is the correct one.
