Answer:
The airplane is 222 miles far from the airport.
Step-by-step explanation:
After a careful reading of the statement, distances can be described in a vectorial way. A vector is represented by a magnitude and direction. That is:
Airplane flies 290 miles (east) (290 km with an angle of 0º)
[tex]\vec r_{A} = (290\,mi)\cdot i[/tex]
Airplane flies 290 miles (northwest) (290 km with and angle of 135º)
[tex]\vec r_{B} = [(290\,mi)\cdot \cos 135^{\circ}]\cdot i + [(290\,mi)\cdot \sin 135^{\circ}]\cdot j[/tex]
The resultant vector is equal to the sum of the two vectors:
[tex]\vec r_{C} = \vec r_{A} + \vec r_{B}[/tex]
[tex]\vec r_{C} = \{(290\,mi) + \left[(290\,mi)\cdot \cos 135^{\circ}\right]\}\cdot i + \left[(290\,mi)\cdot \sin 135^{\circ}\right]\cdot j[/tex]
[tex]\vec r_{C} = (84.939\,mi)\cdot i + (205.061\,mi)\cdot j[/tex]
The magnitude of the final distance of the airplane from the airport is obtained by the Pythagorean Theorem:
[tex]\|\vec r_{C}\|=\sqrt{(84.939\,mi)^{2}+(205.061\,mi)^{2}}[/tex]
[tex]\|\vec r_{C}\| = 221.956\,mi[/tex]
The airplane is 222 miles far from the airport.

Answer:
(B), in which the first two values are 2 and 10.
Step-by-step explanation:
We can tell that this is a proportional relationship because we can examine the numbers in there.
(2,10)
(4,20)
and (6,30).
If you notice, the x value times 5 gets us the y value for every single point there.
Therefore, B is proportional and it's equation is y = 5x.
Hope this helped!
Answer:
B.
Step-by-step explanation:
B. Is the only one that proportional because,
(2,10)
(4,20)
(6,30)
All these x values multiply by 5 to get the y value.
So the equation is y = 5x meaning it is linear and it goes through the origin which makes it proportional.
Thus,
answer choice B is correct.

Answer: 445 triangles can be form with 15 dots of a circle (I hope good luck)
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
455
Step-by-step explanation:
There are 15 points on a circle.
We need three points to form a triangle
Therefore the number of triangles = 15 choose 3 = 15!/(3!x12!) = (15x14x13)/(3x2x1) = 5x7x13 = 455
Hence the number of triangles formed is 455
32x - 12.8 simplify plz
Answer:
Length = 8x - 3.2
Step-by-step explanation:
Perimeter = 4(Length) [Since it's a square so all the sides are equal]
Given that Perimeter = 32x - 12.8
32x - 12.8 = 4(Length)
Dividing both sides by 4
=> Length = [tex]\frac{4(8x-3.2)}{4}[/tex]
=> Length = 8x - 3.2
Now, Three equivalent expressions to find the perimeter
=> Perimeter = 32x - 12.8
=> Perimeter = 4(8x - 3.2) [Perimeter = 4 (Length)]
=> Perimeter = 2(16x - 6.4)
Answer:
[tex]\boxed{8x-3.2}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
The perimeter is 32x - 12.8 of a square.
Use formula for perimeter of a square.
[tex]P=4a[/tex]
[tex]P=perimeter\\a=side \: length[/tex]
[tex]32x - 12.8=4a[/tex]
Solve for side length.
[tex]\frac{32x - 12.8}{4} =a[/tex]
[tex]8x-3.2=a[/tex]
Three equivalent expressions for perimeter:
32x - 12.8
⇒ 8(4x - 1.6)
⇒ 4(8x - 3.2)
⇒ 2(16x - 6.4)

[tex] \mathsf{(3x + 6)(2x + 4)}[/tex]
Multiply each term in the first parentheses by each term in the second parentheses
[tex] \mathsf{ = 3x(2x + 4) + 6(2x + 4)}[/tex]
Calculate the product
[tex] \mathsf{ = 6 {x}^{2} + 12x + 12x + 6 \times 4}[/tex]
Multiply the numbers
[tex] \mathsf{ = 6 {x}^{2} + 12x + 12x + 24}[/tex]
Collect like terms
[tex] \mathsf{ = {6x}^{2} + 24x + 24}[/tex]
Let's find the area of small rectangle
[tex] \mathsf{(x - 3)(x - 1)}[/tex]
Multiply each term in the first parentheses by each term in the second parentheses
[tex] \mathsf{ = x( x - 1) - 3(x - 1)}[/tex]
Calculate the product
[tex] \mathsf{ = {x}^{2} - x - 3x - 3 \times ( - 1)}[/tex]
Multiply the numbers
[tex] \mathsf{ = {x}^{2} - x - 3x + 3}[/tex]

Answer:
432 aquariums
Step-by-step explanation:
To determine the number of aquariums the factory made, find the volume of 1 aquarium, then divide the total volume of water required.
Solution:
Volume of triangular prism aquarium = triangular base area × length of triangular prism
Volume = ½*b*h*l
Where,
b = 8 ft
h = 4 ft
l = 3 ft
Volume = ½*8*4*3 = 4*4*3
Volume = 48 ft³
Number of aquarium made = Volume of water required ÷ volume of 1 aquarium
= 20,736 ÷ 48 = 432 aquariums

create and solve a linear equation that represents the model, where circles and a square are shown evenly balanced on a balance beam.
A. + 7 = 12; x = 5
B. x = 5 + 7; x = 12
C. x + 5 = 7; x = 2
D. x + 7 = 5; x = -2
Answer:
C
Step-by-step explanation:
We can notice that the balance beam has in one side 7 balls and in the other one 5 balls and a square
The balance beam is balenced
Let x be the square mass
x+5 = 7 substract five from each side x+5-5 = 7-5 x = 2The solution is 2
C fits perfectly what we prooved
Answer:
C: x + 5 = 7; x = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
Refer to the given model. On the left-hand side of the balance beam, there are five circles and one square. On the right-hand side of the balance beam, there are seven circles. The balance beam is evenly distributed, so the value on the left-hand side of the balance beam must be the same as the value on the right-hand side of the balance beam.
The square stands for an unknown quantity. In algebra, variables are used to represent unknown quantities, so x will represent the value of the square.
The model shows that the value of x plus five circles is the same as seven circles. Replacing the word "plus" with a plus sign and replacing "is the same as" with an equal sign gives the equation x + 5 = 7.
To solve the equation, subtract 5 from both sides of the equation to isolate x.
Thus, the solution to the equation is x = 2.

A school librarian can buy books at a 20% discount from the list price. One month she spent $72 for books. What was the list price value of the books? Is the answer $90?
Answer:
[tex]\boxed{\sf \ \ YES \ \ }[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Hello
let's say that the price of the book was x
the price after a 20% discount is x - 20%*x = x*(1-20%)=x*(1-.20)=0.8*x
and this is $72 so we can write that
0.8*x=72
and then divide by 0.8 both parts
x = 72/0.8=90
So the list price value of the book is $90
and we can verify as 90 - 20%*90 = 90 - 18 = 72

Answer:
Because the triangle is isosceles, the base angles are congruent, meaning that the angles that are not right angles are x and x. Since the sum of angles in a triangle is 180°, we can write:
90 + x + x = 180
x + x = 90
2x = 90
x = 45°
Answer:
45 degrees
Step-by-step explanation:
This triangle is "isosceles..." two legs are equal. Thus, the triangle has two 45 degree angles. The indicated angle is 45 degreees.
For what values of the following expressions are true: |a−5|=5−a
Answer:
Whenever a-5<0 or a<5
Step-by-step explanation:
So if you have an absolute value, that turns into two equations. The one we care about is -(a-5)=5-a. After distributing the negative through the left side of the equation, you'll get that 5-a=5-a, which is an identity. But you can only say that abs(a-5)=5-a when a-5<0. To see a visual representation of this, graph both sides of the equation in desmos.
Find the slope and y-intercept of the following graph.
Answer: y = -5*x + b
Step-by-step explanation:
A line is written as:
y = a*x + b
where a is the slope and b is the y-intercept.
IIf we have a line that passes through the points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) then the slope of the line is:
a = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)
In this case we can see that the line passes through the points:
(0, 2) and (1, - 3)
Then the slope is:
a = (-3 - 2)/(1 - 0) = -5
Then our line is:
y = -5*x + b
And when x = 0, y = 2 then:
y = 2 = -5*0 + b
2 = b
Our line is:
y = -5*x + b

Trivikram jogs from one end of corniche to its other end on a straight 300 m road in 2 minutes 50 seconds and then turns around and jogs 100 m back on same track in another 1 minute. What is his average speed and velocity?
Answer:
1.76m/s ; 1.76m/s ; 1.74m/s, 0.86m/s
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the following :
Distance jogged in first direction (A to B) = 300m
Time taken = 2 minutes 50s = (2*60) + 50 = 120 + 50 = 170s
Distance jogged in opposite direction (B to C) = 100m
Time taken = 1minute = 60s
Recall:
Speed = distance / time
Therefore Average speed from A to B
Average speed = 300m/ 170s = 1.764 = 1.76m/s
Average Velocity = Displacement / time
Displacement = 300m ; time = 170s
= 300m / 170s = 1.76m/s
Average speed (A to C)
Therefore, average speed = total distance / total time taken
Total distance = (300 + 100)m = 400m
Total time taken = (170 + 60)s = 230s
Average speed = 400m / 230s
= 1.739m/s = 1.74m/s
Average velocity:
Displacement = distance between initials position and final position.
Initial distance covered = 300m. Then 100m was jogged in the opposite direction.
Distance between starting and ending positions, becomes : (300 - 100)m = 200m
200 / 230 = 0.87m/s

Subtracting the given expressions, that is
3b² - 8 - (b(b² + b - 7) ) ← simplify parenthesis
= 3b² - 8 - (b³ + b² - 7b) ← distribute parenthesis by - 1
= 3b² - 8 - b³ - b² + 7b ← collect like terms
= - b³ + 2b² + 7b - 8 ← substitute b = - 3
= - (- 3)³ + 2(- 3)² + 7(- 3) - 8
= - (- 27) + 2(9) - 21 - 8
= 27 + 18 - 21 - 8

A una granja llegaron 54 ovejas 24 vacas 30 cerdos los cuales se quieren repartir en corrales con igual numero de animales de forma que haya la mayor cantidad posible en cada corral ¿cuantos animales posibles deben ir en cada uno de los corrales?
Answer: 6 animals should go in each pen.
Step-by-step explanation:
Total sheep = 54
Total cows = 24
Total pigs = 30
Highest number of animals are possible in each pen such that animals are distributed in pens with the same number = Greatest common divisior (54,24, 30)
54= 6 x 9
24= 6 x 4
30 = 6 x 5
So, Greatest common divisior (54,24, 30) = 6
Hence, 6 animals should go in each pen.

Answer:
[tex]a^2+3\,a\,b-5\,a\,b-15\,b^2=(a-5\,b)\,(a+3\,b)[/tex]

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Hello,
For any function f which has an inverse function we can write
[tex]x=(f^{-1}of)(x)=(fof^{-1})(x)=f(f^{-1}(x))[/tex]
This is why, in practice, to find the inverse of f we will consider f(x) = y and we will look for x as a function of y, so we switch x and y and solve for y. Let's do it.
Step 1 - The function f(x) can be written as a variable. [tex]\boxed{y}=f(x)[/tex]
f(x) = y = 5x + 2
Step 2 - switch the variables x <-> y
x = 5y + 2
subtract 2 to both parts of the equation
<=> x - 2 = 5y + 2 - 2 = 5y
divide by 5 both parts of the equation
[tex]<=> y=\dfrac{x-2}{5}[/tex]
It means that the inverse of f is as below.
[tex]\boxed{ \ f^{-1}(x)=\dfrac{x-2}{5}\ }[/tex]
Step 3 - Find the inverse of g(x)
We already found that the inverse of f is g, so the inverse of g is f.
Let's do it again.
[tex]g(x)=y=\dfrac{x-2}{5} \ \ \text{ switch x and y } \\ \\ x= \dfrac{y-2}{5} \ \ \text{ solve for y }\\ \\ y-2=5x \ \ \text{ mulitply by 5 both parts of the equation } \\ \\ y = 5x+2 \ \ \text{ add 2 to both parts of the equation }[/tex]
And we found what we already known, meaning f is the inverse of g.
[tex](gof)(x)=(fog)(x)=x[/tex]
Hope this helps.
Do not hesitate if you need further explanation.
Thank you
Answers and Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1:
We want to find the variable that ff(x) represents. Well, we know it can't be x because we already have x on the other side of the equation: ff(x) = 5x + 2.
So, ff(x) must equal y.
Since ff(x) = y, we know then that ff(x) = y = 5x + 2. And our equation is:
y = 5x + 2
Step 2:
Let's switch the variables now. This means that what used to be y will be x and what used to be x will be y:
y = 5x + 2 ⇒ x = 5y + 2
Subtract 2 from both sides:
5y = x - 2
Divide by 5 from both sides:
y = (x - 2)/5
Step 3:
Let's find the inverse of g(x) by doing the exact same thing as we did with ff(x):
g(x) = y = (x - 2)/5
Switch the variables:
y = (x - 2)/5 ⇒ x = (y - 2)/5
Multiply by 5 on both sides:
5x = y - 2
Add 2 to both sides:
y = 5x + 2
Notice that this is the exact same as ff(x)! This means that ff(x) and g(x) are inverses.
Wesimann Co. Issued 13-year bonds a year ago at a coupon rate of 7.3 percent. The bonds make semiannual payments and have a par value of $1,000. If the YTM on these bonds is 5.6 percent, what is the current bond price?
Answer:
Current Bond price = $1155.5116
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given;
Face value; F = $1,000
Coupon payment;C = (7.3% x 1,000)/2 = 36.5 (divided by 2 because of semi annual payments)
Yield to maturity(YTM); r = 5.6%/2 = 2.8% = 0.028 (divided by 2 because of semi annual payments)
Time period;n = 13 x 2 = 26 years (multiplied by 2 because of semi annual payments)
Formula for bond price is;
Bond price = [C × [((1 + r)ⁿ - 1)/(r(r + 1)ⁿ)] + [F/(1 + r)ⁿ]
Plugging in the relevant values, we have;
Bond price = [36.5 × [((1 + 0.028)^(26) - 1)/(0.028(0.028 + 1)^(26))] + [1000/(1 + 0.028)^(26)]
Bond price = (36.5 × 18.2954) + (487.7295)
Bond price = $1155.5116

y=180-90-24=66
x=180-32-90-24=34
Given the sequence 38, 32, 26, 20, 14, ..., find the explicit formula.
Answer:
The explicit formula for the sequence is
44 - 6nStep-by-step explanation:
The above sequence is an arithmetic sequence
For an nth term in an arithmetic sequence
A(n) = a + ( n - 1)d
where a is the first term
n is the number of terms
d is the common difference
From the question
a = 38
d = 32 - 38 = - 6 or 20 - 26 = - 6 or
14 - 20 = - 6
So the formula for the sequence is
A(n) = 38 + ( n - 1)-6
= 38 - 6n + 6
We have the final answer as
A(n) = 44 - 6nHope this helps you
Answer:
[tex]\huge\boxed{a_n=-6n+44}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
This is an arithmetic sequence:
32 - 38 = -6
26 - 32 = -6
20 - 26 = -6
14 - 20 = -6
The common difference d = -6.
The explicit formula of an arithmetic formula:
[tex]a_n=a_1+(n-1)(d)[/tex]
Substitute:
[tex]a_1=38;\ d=-6[/tex]
[tex]a_n=38+(n-1)(-6)[/tex] use the distributive property
[tex]a_n=38+(n)(-6)+(-1)(-6)\\\\a_n=38-6n+6\\\\a_n=-6n+(38+6)\\\\a_n=-6n+44[/tex]
