Find x, the angle inscribed in the circle

Step-by-step explanation:

a linear relationship or function is described in general as

y = f(x) = ax + b

Because the variable term has the variable x only with the exponent 1, this makes this a straight line - hence the name "linear".

here f(x) is P(x) :

P(x) = ax + b

now we are using both given points (ordered pairs) to calculate a and b :

20 = a×170 + b

2820 = a×220 + b

to eliminate first one variable we subtract equation 1 from equation 2 :

2800 = a×50

a = 2800/50 = 280/5 = 56

now, we use that in any of the 2 original equations to get b :

20 = 56×170 + b

b = 20 - 56×170 = 20 - 9520 = -9500

so,

P(x) = 56x - 9500

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct answer is A. A rectangle the same size as the base.

When a rectangular pyramid is sliced parallel to the base, the resulting cross-section is a rectangle that is the same size as the base. The parallel slicing ensures that the cross-section maintains the same dimensions as the base of the pyramid. Therefore, option A, a rectangle the same size as the base, represents the cross-section.

Answer: -15/17

Step-by-step explanation:

sin ∅ = 8/17

If you drew a a line in the 2rd quadrant because tan ∅ <0, which means tan∅ is negative.

Tan∅= sin∅/cos∅            

they told you sin∅ is positive which is related to your y.

but cos∅ needs to be negative which is related to x

This happens in the second quadrant x is negative and y is positive.

Now we know which way to draw our line.  Label the opposite of the angle 8 and the hypotenuse 17 because sin∅ = 8/17

Use pythagorean to find adjacent.

17² = 8² + a²

225 = a²

a = 15

The adjacent is negative because the adjacent is on the x-axis in the negative direction.

cos ∅ = adj/hyp

cos∅ =  -15/17

Answer: -15/17

Step-by-step explanation:

In the first quadrant, all sine, cosine and tan are all positive. In the second quadrant, only sine is positive. Third quadrant, only tangent is positive and fourth quadrant, only cosine is positive.

Therefore, when sine is positive and tan is negative, the angle can only be in quadrant 2. Then draw the triangle. Draw a triangle with the angle from the origin, with the opposite leg from the angle with value of 8 and the hypotenuse of value 17. Since cosine is what the question is asking for, and we know the data given forms an right triangle, the value of the other leg is 15. It is an 8-15-17 special triangle or use the Pythagorean Theorem.

Finally, taking the cosine of the angle from the origin gives -15/17 since it is in quadrant 2.

[tex]\textsf{The parabola has a vertex at $\left(\:\boxed{-3}\:,\boxed{-7}\:\right)$, has a p-value of $\boxed{-1}$ and it}[/tex]

[tex]\textsf{$\boxed{\sf op\:\!ens\;to\;the\;left}$\:.}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The given directrix of the parabola is x = -2, which is a vertical line.

The directrix is perpendicular to the axis of symmetry. Therefore, this means that the parabola has a horizontal axis of symmetry.

The focus of a parabola is a fixed point located inside the curve. The x-coordinate of the given focus is x = -4. As this is to the left of the directrix, it means that the parabola opens to the left.

The standard form of a horizontal parabola is:

[tex]\boxed{(y-k)^2=4p(x-h)}[/tex]

where:

As the focus is (-4, -7), then:

[tex]\begin{aligned}(h+p, k)&=(-4,-7)\\\\\implies k&=-7\\\implies h+p&=-4\end{aligned}[/tex]

As the directrix is x = -2, then:

[tex]h - p=-2[/tex]

To find the value of h, sum the equations involved h and p to eliminate p:

[tex]\begin{array}{crcccr}&h &+& p& =& -4\\+&h& -& p& = &-2\\\cline{2-6}&2h&&& =& -6\\\cline{2-6}\\\implies &h&&&=&-3\end{array}[/tex]

To find the value of p, substitute the found value of h into one of the equations:

[tex]\begin{aligned}-3 - p&=-2\\p&=-3+2\\p&=-1\end{aligned}[/tex]    

Therefore, the values of h, k and p are:

The parabola has a vertex at (-3, -7), has a p-value of -1 and it opens to the left.

The parabola has a vertex at (-3, y), has p-value of 1 and it equation is

(x + 3)² = 4y.

To find the equation of the parabola with the given focus and directrix, we can use the standard form equation of a parabola:

(x - h)² = 4p(y - k)

where (h, k) is the vertex of the parabola and "p" is the distance from the vertex to the focus (and also from the vertex to the directrix).

Given:

Focus: (-4, -7)

Directrix: x = -2

1. Finding the vertex:

Since the directrix is a vertical line, the vertex lies on the line that is equidistant from the focus and directrix. In this case, it lies on the line x = (-4 + (-2))/2 = -3.

Therefore, the vertex of the parabola is (-3, y).

2. Finding the p-value:

The distance from the vertex to the focus (and also to the directrix) is the same. In this case, the distance is |-3 - (-4)| = 1.

Therefore, the value of "p" is 1.

3. Writing the equation of the parabola:

Using the vertex (-3, y) and the p-value of 1, we can write the equation of the parabola:

(x - h)² = 4p(y - k)

(x - (-3))² = 4(1)(y - y)

Simplifying, we get:

(x + 3)² = 4(y - y)

(x + 3)² = 4y

So, the equation of the parabola is (x + 3)² = 4y.

The vertex of the parabola is (-3, y) and the p-value is 1.

Based on the provided data sets, it can be observed that both Data Set K and Data Set L have identical values. Therefore, their centers and spreads are also identical.

The center of a data set can be measured using various statistical measures such as the mean, median, or mode. Since the data sets have the same values, all these measures will yield the same result for both sets.

In this case, the center of Data Set K is equal to the center of Data Set L.

Similarly, the spread of a data set refers to the measure of variability or dispersion within the data. Common measures of spread include the range, variance, and standard deviation.

However, since the data sets are exactly the same, all these measures will yield identical results for both sets. Thus, the spread of Data Set K is the same as the spread of Data Set L.

In summary, both the center and the spread of Data Set K are the same as those of Data Set L. Therefore, there is no difference between the two data sets in terms of their central tendency or variability.

You will need to purchase approximately 1/42 of a tube, which is less than a full tube. In practical terms, you would need to purchase at least one tube to meet your requirement of 42 ounces of capsaicin arthritis rub.

To determine the number of tubes of capsaicin arthritis rub you will need to purchase, we can divide the total required quantity by the quantity in each tube.

Given that the cost of capsaicin arthritis rub is $21 and you need to buy 42 ounces, we need to find out how many ounces are in each tube.

Let's assume that each tube contains x ounces of capsaicin arthritis rub.

Now we can set up a proportion to solve for x:

42 ounces / x tubes = 1 tube / x ounces

Cross-multiplying gives us:

42x = 1 * x

Simplifying the equation:

42x = x

Dividing both sides of the equation by x (since x cannot be zero):

42 = 1

Since this equation is not true, it means that there is an error in our assumption. We need to revise our assumption.

Let's assume that each tube contains 1 ounce of capsaicin arthritis rub.

Now we can set up a new proportion:

42 ounces / x tubes = 1 tube / 1 ounce

Cross-multiplying gives us:

42x = 1 * 1

Simplifying the equation:

42x = 1

Dividing both sides of the equation by 42:

x = 1/42

As a result, you will need to buy less than a full tube—roughly 1/42 of a tube. In order to get the 42 ounces of capsaicin arthritis rub you need, you would essentially need to buy at least one tube.

The nurse should administer 4 Lasix 20 mg tablets to the patient to achieve the prescribed dose of 80 mg.

To determine the number of Lasix 20 mg tablets that should be administered to the patient, we need to calculate how many tablets are equivalent to the prescribed dose of 80 mg.

Given that each Lasix tablet contains 20 mg of the medication, we can divide the prescribed dose (80 mg) by the dosage strength of each tablet (20 mg) to find the number of tablets needed.

Number of tablets = Prescribed dose / Dosage strength per tablet

Number of tablets = 80 mg / 20 mg

Number of tablets = 4 tablets

Therefore, the nurse should administer 4 Lasix 20 mg tablets to the patient to achieve the prescribed dose of 80 mg.

It is important to note that this calculation assumes that the Lasix tablets can be divided or split if necessary. However, it is crucial to follow the specific instructions provided by the prescribing physician or consult with a pharmacist if there are any concerns about the appropriate administration of the medication.

45 inches represent 55 miles on the scale drawing.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this proportion, we can set up the following ratio:

9 inches / 11 miles = x inches / 55 miles

We can cross-multiply to solve for x:

9 inches * 55 miles = 11 miles * x inches

495 inches = 11 miles * x inches

Now, we can isolate x by dividing both sides by 11 miles:

495 inches / 11 miles = x inches

Simplifying the expression:

45 inches = x inches

The perimeter of the rectangle is 140 inches.

Let's denote the width of the rectangle as w. According to the given information, the length of the rectangle is six times its width, so we can express the length as 6w.

The area of a rectangle is given by the formula A = length × width. Substituting the values we have:

A = (6w) × w

600 = 6w^2

To solve for w, we divide both sides of the equation by 6:

w^2 = 100

Taking the square root of both sides:

w = ±10

Since width cannot be negative in this context, we discard the negative value and consider the positive value, w = 10.

Now that we have the width, we can find the length of the rectangle:

Length = 6w = 6 × 10 = 60

The perimeter of a rectangle is given by the formula P = 2(length + width). Substituting the values:

P = 2(60 + 10)

P = 2(70)

P = 140

Therefore, the perimeter of the rectangle is 140 inches.

We can conclude that there are no ordered triples of positive integers (x, y, z) that satisfy the given equation and the condition x < y.

We are given that the product of three positive integers (x, y, z) is equal to four times their sum:

xyz = 4(x + y + z)

Rearranging the equation, we get:

xyz - 4x - 4y - 4z = 0

We can factor out a common factor of 4 from the terms on the right-hand side:

4(xy - x - y - z) = 0

Now, we have two cases to consider:

Case 1: xy - x - y - z = 0

In this case, we can rewrite the equation as:

x(y - 1) - (y + z) = 0

From this equation, we observe that (y + z) must be divisible by (y - 1). Since x < y, the minimum value of (y - 1) is 1, which means (y + z) should also be 1. However, since we are looking for positive integers, this case does not yield any solutions.

Case 2: xy - x - y - z = 4

In this case, we can rewrite the equation as:

x(y - 1) - (y + z) = 4

Similarly, we observe that (y + z) must be divisible by (y - 1), and now (y - 1) can take on a minimum value of 2. We can analyze different possibilities based on this:

If (y - 1) = 2, then (y + z) = 2. Since we are dealing with positive integers, the only possibility is y = 3 and z = -1, which does not satisfy the condition.

If (y - 1) = 3, then (y + z) = 3. The only possibility is y = 4 and z = -1, which also does not satisfy the condition.

If (y - 1) = 4, then (y + z) = 4. The only possibility is y = 5 and z = -1, which does not satisfy the condition.

To calculate the number of bottles of waterproof spray Trent will need to cover his tent, we first need to find the surface area of the tent.

The surface area of a square-based pyramid is given by the formula:

Surface Area = Base Area + (0.5 x Perimeter of Base x Slant Height)

The base of the pyramid is a square with a side length of 14 feet, so the base area is:

Base Area = (Side Length)^2 = 14^2 = 196 square feet

To find the slant height of the pyramid, we can use the Pythagorean theorem. The slant height is the hypotenuse of a right triangle formed by one side of the base, the height of the pyramid, and the slant height. The height of the pyramid is given as 8 feet, and half the length of the base is 7 feet.

Using the Pythagorean theorem:

[tex]Slant Height^2 = (Half Base Length)^2 + Height^2[/tex]

[tex]Slant Height^2 = 7^2 + 8^2Slant Height^2 = 49 + 64Slant Height^2 = 113Slant Height ≈ √113 ≈ 10.63 feet[/tex]

Now we can calculate the surface area of the tent:

Surface Area = 196 + (0.5 x 4 x 10.63)

Surface Area = 196 + (2 x 10.63)

Surface Area = 196 + 21.26

Surface Area ≈ 217.26 square feet

Since each bottle of waterproof spray covers 76 square feet, we can divide the total surface area of the tent by the coverage of each bottle to find the number of bottles needed:

Number of Bottles = Surface Area / Coverage per Bottle

Number of Bottles = 217.26 / 76

Number of Bottles ≈ 2.86

Therefore, Trent will need approximately 2.86 bottles of waterproof spray to cover his tent. Since we can't have a fraction of a bottle, he will need to round up to the nearest whole number. Therefore, Trent will need 3 bottles of waterproof spray to fully waterproof his tent.
