Find the value of a if the line joining the points (3a,4) and (a, -3) has a gradient of 1 ?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

[tex]\displaystyle a=\frac{7}{2}\text{ or } 3.5[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the two points (3a, 4) and (a, -3).

And we want to find the value of a such that the gradient of the line joining the two points is 1.

Recall that the gradient or slope of a line is given by the formula:

[tex]\displaystyle m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex]

Where (x₁, y₁) is one point and (x₂, y₂) is the other.

Let (3a, 4) be (x₁, y₁) and (a, -3) be (x₂, y₂). Substitute:

[tex]\displaystyle m=\frac{-3-4}{a-3a}[/tex]

Simplify:

[tex]\displaystyle m=\frac{-7}{-2a}=\frac{7}{2a}[/tex]

We want to gradient to be one. Therefore, m = 1:

[tex]\displaystyle 1=\frac{7}{2a}[/tex]

Solve for a. Rewrite:

[tex]\displaystyle \frac{1}{1}=\frac{7}{2a}[/tex]

Cross-multiply:

[tex]2a=7[/tex]

Therefore:

[tex]\displaystyle a=\frac{7}{2}\text{ or } 3.5[/tex]

Answer 2

Answer:

[tex] \frac{7}{2} [/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Objective: Linear Equations and Advanced Thinking.

If a line connects two points (3a,4) and (a,-3) has a gradient of 1. This means that the slope formula has to be equal to 1

If we use the points to find the slope: we get

[tex] \frac{4 + 3}{3a - a} [/tex]

Notice how the numerator is 7, this means the denominator has to be 7. This means the denomiator must be 7.

[tex]3a - a = 7[/tex]

[tex]2a = 7[/tex]

[tex]a = \frac{7}{2} [/tex]

Selecting a few households from New York City and observing whether or not they own stocks when it is known that 28% of all households in New York City own stocks. Is this experiment a binomial experiment? Explain why.

Answers

Answer:

Since for each household there are only two possible outcomes, the a household owning stock is independent of any other household and there is a fixed number of trials, this experiment is a binomial experiment.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to take into consideration three things:

For each household, there are only two possible outcomes, either they own stocks, or they do not.

The probability of a household owning stock is independent of any other household, that is, for any household, the probability of someone owning stocks is 28%.

There is a fixed number of trials.

Is this experiment a binomial experiment?

Since for each household there are only two possible outcomes, the a household owning stock is independent of any other household and there is a fixed number of trials, this experiment is a binomial experiment.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :-

Initial Velocity = 40m/s Final velocity = 60 m/sTime = 4s

To Find :-

The acceleration .

Solution :-

We know that the rate of change of velocity is called acceleration. Therefore ,

[tex]\sf\implies a = v - u / t \\ [/tex]

[tex]\sf\implies a = 60m/s - 40m/s/ 4 \\ [/tex]

[tex]\sf\implies a = 20m/s \div 4 \\[/tex]

b. The bearing of q from p​

Answers

Answer:

(a) By cosine rule, /PQ/2=202+152−2×20×15×cos145°

= 400+225−600cos145°

= 625+600×0.8192

= 491.52+625

/PQ/2=1116.52⟹/PQ/=1116.52−−−−−−√=33.41

≊33km ( to the nearest whole number)

(b) By sine rule,

sin<QPR15=sin14533.41

sin<QPR=15sin14533.41

sin<QPR=15×0.573633.41=0.2575

<QPR=14.92°

∴ Bearing of Q from P = 25° + 14.92° = 39.92°.

≊40° (to nearest whole number)

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

All angles in a triangle add up to 180°.

63 + 52 = 115°.

180 - 115 = 65°, so part of the answer is done, y = 65°.

The angle next to y is a vertical angle.

61 + 65 = 126°.

180 - 126 = 54°.

So, x = 54°, y = 65°.

Which of the following statements must be true about a rhombus?
The consecutive sides of a rhombus are parallel.
The diagonals of a rhombus are perpendicular.
The diagonals of a rhombus are congruent.
The opposite angles of a rhombus are supplementary.

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The diagonals of a rhombus are perpendicular

Answer: Choice B) The diagonals of a rhombus are perpendicular

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

Explanation:

Let's go through the answer choices to see which are true statements, and which are false.

A) This is false because consecutive sides must meet up at a vertex point, or else they won't be next to each other. Consecutive sides can never be parallel (regardless what type of quadrilateral we're dealing with, or any polygon for that matter). In other words, consecutive sides share a common point on both segments, which is why they're not parallel. Instead, it should be phrased as "opposite sides of a rhombus are parallel" which is a true statement. B) This is true. If the diagonals are perpendicular, then we could have either a kite or a rhombus. C) This is false. If the diagonals are congruent, then we have a rectangle. We could have a square (which is both a rhombus and a rectangle at the same time), but that's only for specific cases. In a more general sense, we could have a non-square rectangle that isn't a rhombus. D) This is false. A rhombus is a type of parallelogram. For any parallelogram, the opposite angles are always the same measure. The only time the angles are supplementary is when we have a rectangle; otherwise, the angles won't add to 180.

Which equation will solve the following word problem? There are 36 tables and 7 booths in the family restaurant. Each table seats 4 people. If the restaurant can seat up to 184 people, what is the capacity of each booth?


(B * 7 ) - (36 * 4) = 184


7B + (36 * 4) = 184


184 - (36 * 4) = B/7


184/4 = B * 7

Answers

Answer:

7B + (36 * 4) = 184

Step-by-step explanation:

In a family restaurant there are 36 tables and 7 booths.

a function is where there is only one output for every input. so when you plug in an x value, you should be getting only one y value.

it’s not the first one because you can see there are two points at (-1,0)
it’s not the second one because you can see there are two points at (0,0)
it’s not the fourth one because again there are two points at (-2,0) and (2,0)

it’s the third one because there is only one y value for every x value.
