Standard form of a line passing through points (1, 3) and (-2, 5)
Answer:
2x + 3y = 33Step-by-step explanation:
As we move from (-2, 5) to (1, 3), x increases by 3 and y decreases by 2.
Hence, the slope of this line is m = rise / run = -2/3.
Start with the slope-intercept form y = mx + b.
Substitute 3 for y and 1 for x and -2/3 for m:
3 = (-2/3)(1) + b.
Remove fractions by mult. all three terms by 3:
9 = -2 + b, so b = 11, and y = (-2/3)x + 11
Again, mult. all three terms by 3:
3y = -2x + 33, or, in standard form,
2x + 3y = 33Determine the angle at the centre of a circle with radius 6.0 cm for an arc length of 8.0 cm.
3/4 radians
2/3 radians
4/3 radians
4π/3 radians
Answer:
Third option.
Step-by-step explanation:
You need to remember that the formula used to calculate the arc lenght is:
[tex]arc\ length=r C[/tex]
Where "r" is the radius and "C" is the central angle in radians.
You need to solve for "C":
[tex]C=\frac{arc\ length}{r}[/tex]
You know the radius and the arc lenght, therefore, you can substitute values to calculate the central angle in radians. Therefore, this is:
[tex]C=\frac{8.0cm}{6.0cm}[/tex]
[tex]C=\frac{4}{3}radians[/tex]

There are 3 trainers and 12 dogs. The correct answer would be an option (D).
What is the equation?The equation is defined as a mathematical statement that has a minimum of two terms containing variables or numbers that are equal.
Let's assume the number of trainers would be x and dogs would be y
As per the given information, we can write the system of equations as
x+y=15 .....(i)
2x+4y=54 .....(ii)
From equation (i),
x = 15 - y
From equation (ii), and solve for y
2(15-y)+4y=54

An airplane is flying at an altitude of 2.7 miles and is 8.3 miles from the runway. Find the angle of depression that the airplane must make to land safely?
Answer:
[tex]18.98\°[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
x-----> the angle of depression
we know that
The sine of angle x is equal to divide the altitude (opposite side to angle x) by the distance from the runway (hypotenuse)
[tex]sin(x)=\frac{2.7}{8.3}[/tex]
[tex]x=arcsin(\frac{2.7}{8.3})=18.98\°[/tex]
Answer:
18.02°
Step-by-step explanation:
Formula to find angle of depression is given as
tan y = opposite / adjacent
where y = angle of depression
Where opposite = height or altitude of a person or thing
adjacent = distance
In this question ,
opposite = altitude of the plane = 2.7 miles
adjacent = distance of the plane from the runaway = 8.3 miles
Angle of depression is calculated as
tan y = ( 2.7/8.3)
y = tan⁻¹ ( 2.7÷8.3)
y = 18.02°
Angle of depression that the plane must make to land safely = 18.02°

Consider f and c below. f(x, y) = (7 + 8xy2)i + 8x2yj, c is the arc of the hyperbola y = 1/x from (1, 1) to 3, 1 3 (a) find a function f such that f = ∇f. f(x, y) = (b) use part (a) to evaluate c f · dr along the given curve
c.
[tex]\dfrac{\partial f}{\partial x}=7+8xy^2[/tex]
[tex]\dfrac{\partial f}{\partial y}=8x^2y[/tex]
The first equation gives
[tex]f(x,y)=7x+4x^2y^2+g(y)[/tex]
Differentiating with respect to [tex]y[/tex] gives
[tex]8x^2=8x^2y+\dfrac{\mathrm dg}{\mathrm dy}\implies\dfrac{\mathrm dg}{\mathrm dy}=0\implies g(y)=K[/tex]
for some constant [tex]K[/tex]. So
[tex]f(x,y)=7x+4x^2y^2+K[/tex]
and by the fundamental theorem of calculus,
[tex]\displaystyle\int_C\nabla f\cdot\mathrm d\vec r=f\left(3,\frac13\right)-f(1,1)=25-11=\boxed{14}[/tex]
To find a function f such that f = ∇f, we need to find a function whose gradient is equal to itself. The function f(x, y) = 0 is such that ∇f = f. To evaluate c·f · dr along the curve c, we need to find the dot product of the tangent vector to c and the function f.
Explanation:To find a function f such that f = ∇f, we need to find a function whose gradient is equal to itself. Let's start by finding the partial derivative of f with respect to x and y. ∂f/∂x = (7 + 8y2)i + 16xyj and ∂f/∂y = 16xyi + 8x2j. Equating both partial derivatives to f gives us the following equations:
7 + 8y2 = (7 + 8y2)i + 16xyj
8x2 = 16xyi + 8x2j
Simplifying these equations, we find:
i = 0
j = 0
Therefore, the function f(x, y) = 0 is such that ∇f = f.
In order to evaluate c·f · dr along the curve c, we need to find the dot product of the tangent vector to c and the function f. The tangent vector to c is given by dr/dt = (-1/t2, 1/t3). Evaluating f at (x, y) = (1, 1/t) gives us f(1, 1/t) = (7 + 8/t2)i + 8/t2j. Taking the dot product of this with (-1/t2, 1/t3) yields:
c·f · dr = ((7 + 8/t2)(-1/t2) + 8/t2/t3)dt = (-7/t4 + 8/t2/t3)dt = (-7/t4 + 8/t5)dt.

Step-by-step explanation: We are given to find the 10th term of the following geometric sequence
400, 200, 100, . . . .
We know that,
the n-th term of a geometric sequence with first term a and common ration r is given by

In the given sequence,
first term, a = 400
and
common ration is given by
[tex]r=\dfrac{200}{400}=\dfrac{100}{200}=~.~.~.~=0.5.[/tex]
Therefore, the 10th term of the sequence is
[tex]a_{10}= ar^{10-1}=400\times (0.5)^9=400\times0.001953125=0.78125.[/tex]
Thus, the correct option is (C). 0.78125.
Tony is standing at sea level. From his location, the angle of elevation of the top of Blue Mountain is 23°. Staying at sea level, he walks 210 yards toward the mountain. The angle of elevation of the top is now 28°. Find the height of Blue Mountain. Round intermediate results to 3 decimal places and the final answer to 1 decimal place.
The height of Blue Mountain is _____ yards.
The height of Blue Mountain is determined by setting up two equations based on the tangent of the observed angles of elevation from two different points and solving for the distance to the mountain. The height is then calculated using this distance and rounded to the nearest tenth.
Explanation:Tony is trying to find the height of Blue Mountain using trigonometry and the angles of elevation observed from two different points. We can solve this problem using right-angled triangles and trigonometric functions (specifically tangent).
Step-by-Step Calculation
First, we use the angle from the first observation point:
tan(23°) = height / distance
Height = distance * tan(23°). We call this height 'h'.
Then, when Tony moves 210 yards closer, the distance from the mountain is 'distance - 210 yards', and we use the angle from this second point:
tan(28°) = height / (distance - 210)
Height = (distance - 210) * tan(28°). We call this height 'h' as well because the height of the mountain doesn't change.
Therefore, we have two equations:
h = distance * tan(23°)
h = (distance - 210) * tan(28°).
By equating the two expressions for 'h', we find the distance 'd':
distance * tan(23°) = (distance - 210) * tan(28°).
We can now solve for 'distance' numerically. After calculating distance, we can use it to find the actual height 'h' using the tangent function with any of the two angles.
Final Result
We round intermediate results to 3 decimal places and the final height to 1 decimal place, giving us the height of Blue Mountain.
To ship a 2 pound package, the company will charge $ and to ship a 3.5 pound package, the company will charge $
To determine the shipping cost of a 2-pound package, convert the weight to ounces (32 ounces), account for the initial charge for the first 3 ounces (1.95), and add the cost for the remaining 29 ounces at 0.17 each, totaling 6.88.
Explanation:To calculate the cost of shipping a 2-pound package, we use the given postal rates. Since there are 16 ounces in 1 pound, a 2-pound package equals 32 ounces. The post office charges 1.95 for the first 3 ounces. Every additional ounce costs 0.17. So we subtract the first 3 ounces from the total weight and then calculate the cost for the remaining ounces.
The calculation can be done as follows:
Initial 3 ounces: 1.95Remaining weight in ounces: 32 - 3 = 29 ouncesAdditional cost: 29 ounces x 0.17/ounce = 4.93Total cost: 1.95 + 4.93 = 6.88This approach to calculating postage makes it easy to understand the incremental cost structure of shipping packages.

Answer:
3x(3x-2)(12x-5) D
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
D
Step-by-step explanation:
This is a game in which you figure out what the terms of the expression have in common. Clearly, x is a common factor, as 108x³ = x(108x²), -117x² = x(117x) and 30x = x(30). Factoring out x, we get:
x(108x² - 117x + 30).
Next, note that 3 is a factor common to 108, 117 and 30, so now we have:
x(108x² - 117x + 30) → 3x(36x² - 27x + 10). Knowing this enables us to eliminate answers A and B, because neither has that factor 3 in it.
Now take a look at D. This is the only answer choice that produces a '10,' which stems from multiplying -2 and -5. So the only possible answer choice is D.
A rectangular painting has a diagonal measure of 26 inches and an area of 240 square inches. Use the formula for the area of a rectangle and the Pythagorean theorem to find the length and width of the painting
ANSWER
The length is 10 inches and the width is 24 inches
EXPLANATION
The diagonal of the rectangular painting is d=26 inches.
Let l and w be the length and width of the painting respectively.
From Pythagoras Theorem,
[tex] {l}^{2} + {w}^{2} = {26}^{2} [/tex]
[tex]{l}^{2} + {w}^{2} = 676..(1)[/tex]
Its area is 240 square inches.
This implies that,
[tex]l \times w = 240[/tex]
[tex]l = \frac{240}{w} ...(2)[/tex]
Put equation (2) into (1).
[tex]{( \frac{240}{w} )}^{2} + {w}^{2} = 676[/tex]
This implies that,
[tex] {w}^{4} - 676 {w}^{2} + 57600 = 0[/tex]
[tex]( {w}^{2} - 100)( {w}^{2} - 576) = 0[/tex]
[tex]{w}^{2} - 100 = 0 \: or \: ({w}^{2} - 576= 0[/tex]
[tex]{w}^{2} = 100 \: or \: {w}^{2} = 576[/tex]
Take positive square root to get,
[tex]{w} = 10\: or \: {w} = 24[/tex]
When w=24,
[tex]l = \frac{240}{24} = 10[/tex]
when w=10
[tex]l = \frac{240}{10} = 24[/tex]
Hence the length is 10 inches and the width is 24 inches.
The dimensions of the painting can be found by setting two equations, one for the area of the rectangle, and another based on the Pythagorean theorem, and solving for the length and the width. The key is to remember that these values must be positive, as they represent physical dimensions.
Explanation:First, let's recall what we know. The area of a rectangle is given by the formula length x width = area. Here, we know that the area of the painting is 240 square inches.
Next, remembering the Pythagorean theorem, which states that for any right-angle triangle, the square of the length of the hypotenuse (the diagonal in this case) is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides. Here, we can write the Pythagorean theorem as length² + width² = diagonal² (26 inches).
Setting up these two equations, we would solve for length and width. Keep in mind that we're seeking positive and realistic solutions, as these represent the physical dimensions of the painting.

Answer:
[tex]\large\boxed{C.\ (2,\ -45^o)}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Regular coordinates (x, y)
Polar coordinates (r, φ)
[tex]r=\sqrt{x^2+y^2}\\\\\psi=\arctan\frac{y}{x}[/tex]
We have the point
[tex](\sqrt2,\ -\sqrt2)[/tex]
Substitute:
[tex]r=\sqrt{(\sqrt2)^2+(-\sqrt2)^2}=\sqrt{2+2}=\sqrt4=2\\\\\psi=\arctan\left(\frac{-\sqrt2}{\sqrt2}\right)=\arctan(-1)=-45^o[/tex]
Final answer:
The rectangular coordinates (√2, -√2) are converted to polar coordinates using formulas for radius and angle, resulting in polar coordinates (2, -45°), which matches Option C.
Explanation:
The question involves converting rectangular coordinates to polar coordinates. The given rectangular coordinates are (√2, -√2). To convert these to polar coordinates, we use the formulas r = √(x² + y²) and θ = arctan(y/x). First, calculate the radius r which is √((√2)² + (-√2)²) = √(2 + 2) = √4 = 2. Next, calculate the angle θ which is arctan((-√2)/(√2)) = arctan(-1). In degrees, arctan(-1) is -45°.
However, since polar coordinates represent angles positively in a counter-clockwise direction starting from the positive x-axis, we consider the equivalent positive angle which makes θ = 315°. However, to match the provided options more closely, we note that -45° is an equivalent way of expressing the direction taking the negative angle into consideration.
The correct polar coordinates are (2, -45°), which matches Option C.
