McNeal Stands At The 40 Degree Angle And Is Trying To Find The Width Of The River. McNeal Knows She Is

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Our equation is:

[tex]\displaystyle \sin(40^\circ)=\frac{w}{120}[/tex]

Solving this yields that the width of the river is about 77 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A)

We know that McNeal is 120 feet from the tree. This is the hypotenuse.

And we want to find the width of the river, which is the side opposite from our angle.

Since we want to find the side opposite to our angle and we are given the hypotenuse, we will use the sine ratio:

[tex]\displaystyle \sin(\theta^\circ)=\frac{\text{opposite}}{\text{hypotenuse}}[/tex]

Our angle is 40°.

The opposite side is unknown. We can let this be w to represent width.

The hypotenuse is 120 feet. Hence, our equation is:

[tex]\displaystyle \sin(40^\circ)=\frac{w}{120}[/tex]

Part B)

Solve for w:

[tex]w=120\sin(40^\circ)[/tex]

Use a calculator:

[tex]w=77.1345...\approx 77\text{ feet}[/tex]

The width of the river is about 77 feet.

What is the equation, in standard form, of a circle with center (−5, 8) and radius 5?

Enter your answer by filling in the boxes.

Answers

Answer:

( x + 5 )² + ( y - 8 )² = 25

Step-by-step explanation:

Standard form for the equation of a circle - ( x - h )² + ( y - k )² = r²

Where r = radius and Center is located at ( h , k )

We are given that the center is at ( -5 , 8 )

Thus, h = -5 and k = 8

We are also given that the radius = 5

Thus, r = 5

Now we just plug all of the given values into the standard form equation

( x - (-5))² + ( y - 8 )² = 5²

*simplify*

in - ( - 5 ) the two negative sign cancel out and it turns into + 5

5² = 25

Thus, the equation is ( x + 5 )² + ( y - 8 )² = 25

The center of a circle is (3, 2) and a point on the circle is (5, -2). Find the radius and write the equation for the circle.

Answers

Answer:

r = [tex]2\sqrt{5}[/tex]

[tex](x - 3)^{2} + ( y - 2)^{2} = 20[/tex]

Is this a live test question or a homework question?

Step-by-step explanation:

the radius is the distance between (3, 2) and (5, -2)

[tex]r^{2}[/tex] = [tex]{(3 - 5)^{2} + (2 + 2)^{2} }[/tex]

    =  [tex](-2)^{2} + 4^{2}[/tex]

    =  4 + 16 = 20

r = [tex]\sqrt{20 } = 2\sqrt{5}[/tex]

Equation of circle:   [tex](x - 3)^{2} + ( y - 2)^{2} = 20[/tex]

Answer:

Radius: [tex]2\sqrt{5}[/tex]

Equation of circle: [tex](x-3)^2+(y-2)^2=20[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The radius of a circle is equal to the distance between the center of the circle and any point on the circle. Therefore, we have:

[tex]r=\sqrt{(5-3)^2+(2-(-2))^2},\\r=\sqrt{2^2+4^2},\\r=\sqrt{20}=\boxed{2\sqrt{5}}[/tex]

The equation of a circle with radius [tex]r[/tex] and center [tex](h, k)[/tex] is given by:

[tex](x-h)^2+(y-k)^2=r^2[/tex].

What we know:

radius of [tex]2\sqrt{5}[/tex] center at [tex](3, 2)[/tex]

Substituting known values, we get:

[tex](x-3)^2+(y-3)^2=(2\sqrt{5})^2,\\\boxed{(x-3)^2+(y-2)^2=20}[/tex]


Find the rate of change from the table.

Answers

Answer:   15

==================================================

We're asked to find the slope:

m = slope

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m = (50-20)/(4-2)

m = 30/2

m = 15

The rate of change is 15. Each time x goes up by 1, y increases by 15.

slope = rise/run = 15/1

rise = 15, run = 1

I used the middle two columns of the table, but you could use any two columns you want. I subtracted the y values together to get the change in y, which is the rise. The change in x, aka run, is the difference in x values. You must subtract the values in the same order. If done in the wrong order, you might get -15 as the incorrect answer.

If the length between points on a map is 6 inches, 8 inches, and 9 inches, and the scale is one inch equals 5 miles, find
the distances in miles
12.16 and 18 miles
11, 13 and 14 miles
30,40 and 45 miles

Answers

Given:

The length between points on a map is 6 inches, 8 inches, and 9 inches.

The scale is one inch equals 5 miles.

To find:

The distances in miles.

Solution:

The given scale is:

1 inch = 5 miles

Using this scale, we get

6 inches = 6 × 5 miles

               = 30 miles

8 inches = 8 × 5 miles

               = 40 miles

9 inches = 9 × 5 miles

               = 45 miles

The distance is miles are 30, 40, 45 miles.

Therefore, the correct option is C.

Actually Welcome to the concept of expo functions.

f(x) = -8(2)^x - 12 ,

for f(0) ,here substitute x = 0

so we get as ,

==> f(0) = -8(2)^0 -12

==> f(0) = -8-12

==> f(0) = -20

hence, f(0) = -20

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If it went from f(x) ⟹ f(0), that means that x=0.

So, you would plug in 0 for x in f(x)=-8(2)^x-12.

After plugging in the value of x, x=0, into the equation, you should have

f(0)=8(2)^0-12

Now, we are solving for f(0) (or f(x)).

You would use PEMDAS to solve this:

P-PARENTHESIS

E-EXPONENT

M-MULTIPLICATION

D-DIVISION

A-ADDITION

S-SUBTRACTION

There are no parenthesis

there are exponents,

(2)^0 and that =1

so we have f(0)=8(1)-12

there is multiplication, 8(1) which =8

so now we have f(0)=8-12

there is no division

there is subtraction

8-12, which equals -4

f(0)=-4

You have 30 minutes to exercise at the gym. The Stairmaster burns 7 calories per minute, while the stationary bike burns 12 calories per minute. You want to burn 290 calories total using both machines. How much time should you spend on each machine?

Answers

Answer:

14 min on Stairmaster

16 min on Bike

Step-by-step explanation:

s = time on Stairmaster

b = time on bike

System of Equations:

s + b = 30

7s + 12b = 290

let 's' = 30-b

Substitution Method:

7(30-b) + 12b = 290

210 - 7b + 12b = 290

5b + 210 = 290

5b = 80

b = 16

s + 16 = 30

s = 14

[tex]\frac{2}{c-2}[/tex] - [tex]\frac{3}{c+2}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{7}{(c-2)(c+2)}[/tex]

Multiply through by (c - 2)(c + 2) to clear the fractions

2(c + 2) - 3(c - 2) = 7 ← distribute and simplify left side

2c + 4 - 3c + 6 = 7

What are the measures of 1 and 2? 37.1 1 2 17.30 121.8°​

Answers

Answer:

Option 2 : m∠1 = 67.4°, m∠2 = 104.5°

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets find the measure of angle 2 first:

180° - 17.3° - (180° - 121.8°) = Angle 2

                             ↑

             Angle of the straight line = 180°

             The angle should be 180 - 121.8

Angle 2 = 104.5

At this point the only answer that works is the second option, but let's still work out Angle 1

Angle 1 :

Theory of opposite angles state that the opposite angles inside a triangle = the exterior angle

in this case:

Angle 1 + 37.1 = Angle 2

Since we know angle 2 = 104.5, lets solve

Lets say angle 1 = x

x + 37.1 = 104.5

x = 104.5 - 37.1

x = 67.4

To find:-

The measures of 1 and 2.

Solution:-

[tex]{\boxed{\mathcal{\red{Angle\: 1 \:=\: 67.4° \:}}}}[/tex]✅

[tex]{\boxed{\mathcal{\red{Angle\: 2\:=\:104.5° \:}}}}[/tex]✅

Step-by-step explanation:-

We know that,

[tex]\sf\purple{Sum\:of\:angles\:on\:a\:straight\:line\:=\:180°}[/tex]

x + 121.8° = 180°

x = 180° - 121.8°

x = 58.2°

Now,

[tex]\sf\pink{Sum\:of\:angles\:of\:a\:triangle\:=\:180°}[/tex]

∠ 2 + 17.3° + 58.2° = 180°

➪ ∠ 2 + 75.5° = 180°

➪ ∠ 2 = 180° - 75.5°

➪ ∠ 2 = 104.5°

[tex]\boxed{Therefore,\:the\:measure\:of\:∠\:2\:is\:104.5°.}[/tex]

Again,

[tex]\sf\blue{Sum\:of\:angles\:on\:a\:straight\:line\:=\:180°}[/tex]

2 + y = 180°

104.5° + y = 180°

y = 180° - 104.5°

y = 75.5°

Finally, we have

[tex]\sf\pink{Sum\:of\:angles\:of\:a\:triangle\:=\:180°}[/tex]

⇢  1 + 75.5° + 37.1° = 180°

⇢  1 + 112.6° = 180°

⇢  1 = 180° - 112.6°

⇢  1 = 67.4°
