In the diagram, the measure of angle 2 is 126°, the measure of angle 4 is (7x)°, and the measure of angle 5 is (4x + 4)°. A transversal intersects 2 lines to form 8 angles. Clockwise from the top left, the angles are 1, 2, 3, 4; 5, 6, 7, 8. What is the measure of angle 7, to the nearest degree? 35° 54° 76° 104°

Answers

Answer:

The correct option is C

C) 76°

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is incomplete because the figure is not given. I have attached the figure of the same question below. Consult it for better understanding.

We can see in the figure that <2 and <4 are opposite angles, therefore these are equal.

<2 = <4

126 = 7x

x = 18

Similarly we can also see that <5 and <7 are also opposite angles, therefore they are equal too.

<7 = <5

<7 = 4x+4

Substitute x=18

<7 = 4(18) + 4

<7 = 76°

a store bought a vacuum cleaner for $120. the overhead is 5% of the cost. the store wants to make a profit of 10% over the cost plus overhead. find the selling price of the cleaner.

Answers

Answer:

The selling price of the cleaner is:

$138.6

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we have the base of the value that is $120, now we know that the overhead is 5%, so we must calculate this value in dollars, the 5% of $120 is:

$120 * 5% = $6

This value you must add to the base ($120), so the cost with the overhead is $126. How the store wants to make a profit of 10%, you must calculate this 10% of the total cost obtained ($126):

$126 * 10% = $12.6

And you must add this value to obtain the final price in the store:

$126 + $12.6 = $138.6

He goes to purchase 5 apples and 4 bananas, and the total comes to £5.70. Unfortunately, he doesn’t have enough money, so he puts back 1 apple and 2 bananas. The new total is £3.60. What is the cost of 1 apple and the cost of 1 banana?

Answers

Answer:

Applies are £0.50 each and bananas £0.80 each.

Step-by-step explanation:

Represent the numbers of apples and bananas by a and b respectively.

Then:

5a + 4b = £5.70, and:

4a + 2b = £3.60

Let's solve this system using elimination by addition/subtraction.  Multiply the 2nd equation by -2, obtaining the equivalent system

5a + 4b = £5.70

-8a  - 4b = -£7.20

--------------------------

-3a         =  -£1.50

Dividing both sides by -3, we get £0.50.  Apples are £0.50 apiece.

How much are bananas per piece?  Use the first equation; substitute £0.50 for a:

5(£0.50) + 4b = £5.70, or

     

                  4b = £3.20.  Then b = £0.80.

Applies are £0.50 each and bananas £0.80 each.

In converting 750 ounces to pounds, what unit (omit the number) would you

place in the denominator of your ratio? Use the plural form in your answer.

Remember that there are 16 ounces in 1 pound.

Answers

Answer:

I would use the pounds.

Step-by-step explanation:

The reasoning behind using the pound is, if you are using fractions per say to get a side by side ration when you are doing 16 ounces to 1 pound you would want to have a unit rate.

750 ounces          16 ounces

-------------------       -----------------    

  x pounds              1 pound

Do you see how much easier it is to convert from ounces to pounds when you have a unit rate? Now once you see how many times you had to multiply 16 to get 750 you can easily multiply that number by 1!

where a, b and care integers.
(x² +

b) Find g '(12)
(2)

Answers

Answer:

A.) gf(x) = 3x^2 + 12x + 9

B.) g'(x) = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

A.) The two given functions are:

f(x) = (x + 2)^2 and g(x) = 3(x - 1)

Open the bracket of the two functions

f(x) = (x + 2)^2

f(x) = x^2 + 2x + 2x + 4

f(x) = x^2 + 4x + 4

and

g(x) = 3(x - 1)

g(x) = 3x - 3

To find gf(x), substitute f(x) for x in g(x)

gf(x) = 3( x^2 + 4x + 4 ) - 3

gf(x) = 3x^2 + 12x + 12 - 3

gf(x) = 3x^2 + 12x + 9

Where

a = 3, b = 12, c = 9

B.) To find g '(12), you must first find the inverse function of g(x) that is g'(x)

To find g'(x), let g(x) be equal to y. Then, interchange y and x for each other and make y the subject of formula

Y = 3x + 3

X = 3y + 3

Make y the subject of formula

3y = x - 3

Y = x/3 - 3/3

Y = x/3 - 1

Therefore, g'(x) = x/3 - 1

For g'(12), substitute 12 for x in g' (x)

g'(x) = 12/4 - 1

g'(x) = 3 - 1

g'(x) = 2.

Round to the nearest whole number.

Answers

Answer:

the distance of the Bird (B) from the plane (P)  is = 10779  ft

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given information:

a diagrammatic representation is attached below for better understanding and solution to the question.

From the diagram;

Let the Bird (B) be represent as A

The plane (P) be represented by B

The observer be represented by O

and the tower T be represented by C

we will see that:

[tex]\overline {AB} \ \| \ \overline {OC}[/tex]

Also;

[tex]\angle ABO = \angle BOC = 33^0[/tex]

AO = BC = 7000

Let consider the trigonometry of  triangle BAO

tan θ = opposite/adjacent

tan 33° = 7000/x

0.6494 = 7000/x

x = 7000/0.6494

x = 10779.18

x = 10779  ft    ( to the nearest whole number)

Thus; the distance of the Bird (B) from the plane (P)  is = 10779  ft

Write the equation of the line that passes through the points (8,-2)(8,−2) and (5,5)(5,5). Put your answer in fully reduced point-slope form, unless it is a vertical or horizontal line.

Answers

Answer:

The the equation of the line through the points (8, -2) and (5, 5) in slope-intercept form is

[tex]y=-\frac{7}{3} x+\frac{50}{3}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's start by calculation the slope of the line by finding the slope of the segment that joins the two given points (8, -2) and (5,  5):

[tex]slope=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} \\slope=\frac{5-(-2)}{5-8}\\slope=\frac{7}{-3} \\slope=-\frac{7}{3}[/tex]

Now we use this slope in the general slope-intercept form of a line;

[tex]y=mx+b\\y=-\frac{7}{3} x+b[/tex]

and then we calculate the value of the intercept "b" by using one of the given points through which the line must pass (for example (5,5) ), and solving for b:

[tex]y=-\frac{7}{3} x+b\\5=-\frac{7}{3} (5)+b\\5=-\frac{35}{3} +b\\b=5+\frac{35}{3}\\b=\frac{50}{3}[/tex]

The the equation of the line is

[tex]y=-\frac{7}{3} x+\frac{50}{3}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]\frac{7r}{7}=7\left(-8\right)[/tex]

7*-8=-56

7 and 7 is eliminated

so x=-56

Answer:

r= -56

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation given is:

[tex]\frac{r}{7}= -8[/tex]

We want to solve for r. In order to do this, we must get r by itself.

Currently, r is being divided by 7. We want to perform the inverse, which is multiplication. Therefore, we should multiply both sides of the equation by 7.

[tex]7*\frac{r}{7}= -8 * 7[/tex]

[tex]r=-8*7[/tex]

[tex]r= -56[/tex]

Let's check our solution. Substitute -56 back in for r and solve.

[tex]\frac{r}{7}= -8[/tex]

[tex]\frac{-56}{7}= -8[/tex]

[tex]-8=-8[/tex]

Both sides of the equation are the same, so we know our answer is correct.

What is probability?

Probability refers to the idea that an event may or may not happen. The scenario described here is a mutually exclusive event. We must recall that in cases of a mutually exclusive event, we add probabilities.

Hence;

Probability of a male watching an action movie = 105/479

Answers

Answer:

The answer will be 7L/100km.

Step-by-step explanation:

The fuel consumption rate is already given for the first 100 km. So, the next 500 km will be 100km to 600km. You have to find the slope of the line during this travel. If you observe, the fuel lowers from 40 litres to 5 litres in this 500km journey. That means, 35 litres were used for 500km. Divide both with 5. That gives 7litres per 100km.

Hey there! :)

Answer:

x = 7L/100km.

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve this problem by using the slope formula:

[tex]m = \frac{\text{rise}}{\text{run}} = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}[/tex]

Use the points (100, 40) and (600, 5) and plug these into the formula:

[tex]m = \frac{5-40}{600-100}[/tex]

Simplify:

[tex]m=\frac{-35}{500}[/tex]

Since this is describing the rate of consumption, we can simply write the slope as:

[tex]m = \frac{35}{500}[/tex]

The question is asking for the rate of consumption over 100 km, therefore:

[tex]\frac{35}{500} = \frac{x}{100}[/tex]

Cross multiply:

3500 = 500x

Divide both sides by 500:

3500/500 = 500x/500

x = 7L/100km.
