There is a point $A$ with positive coordinates such that the sum of the coordinates of $A$ is $14$. If the $x$-coordinate of $A$ is $a$, then point $P$ is at $(3a, a^2+13a-11)$. If the slope of a line passing through $A$ and $P$ is $7$, find $a$.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

  5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

  A = (a, 14-a)

  P = (3a, a^2 +13a -11)

  the slope of AP is 7

  a > 0

Find:

  a

Solution:

The slope of AP is ...

  m = (Py -Ay)/(Px -Ax)

  7 = (a^2 +13a -11 -(14 -a))/(3a -a)

  14a = a^2 +14a -25

  25 = a^2

  a = √25 = 5 . . . . . the positive solution

The value of 'a' is 5.

_____

Check

The point A is (a, 14-a) = (5, 9).

The point P is (3a, a^2 +13a -11) = (15, 79)

The slope of AP is (79 -9)/(15 -5) = 70/10 = 7.

A triangular pyramid has a base shaped like an equilateral triangle. The legs of the equilateral triangle are all 4 centimeters long, and the height of the equilateral triangle is 3.5 centimeters. The pyramid's slant height is 8 centimeters. What is its surface area?

Answers

Answer:

The surface area is 55 cm².

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula to compute the surface area of the triangular pyramid is:

[tex]SA=(0.50\times \text{Base Perimeter}\times h)+\text{Base Area}[/tex]

Here h is the slant height.

Compute the Base perimeter as follows:

Perimeter of the equilateral triangle = 3 × side

                                                            = 3 × 4

                                                            = 12 cm

Compute the Base area as follows:

Area of the equilateral triangle = 0.50 × side × height

                                                    = 0.50 × 4 × 3.50

                                                    = 7 cm²

Compute the surface area as follows:

[tex]SA=(0.50\times \text{Base Perimeter}\times h)+\text{Base Area}[/tex]

     [tex]=(0.50\times 12\times 8)+7\\=48+7\\=55\ \text{cm}^{2}[/tex]

Thus, the surface area is 55 cm².

what is the common number to be subtracted from each term of the ratio 11:8 to get the new ratio 2:1.?​

Answers

Answer:

5 should be subtracted  from each term

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]\frac{11-x}{8-x}=\frac{2}{1}[/tex]

Cross multiply,

1 * (11 - x) = 2*(8-x)

11 -x = 2*8 - 2*x

11 - x = 16 - 2x

Subtract 11 from both sides,

-x = 16 - 2x - 11

-x = 5 - 2x

Add 2x to both sides

-x +2x = 5 - 2 + 2x

x = 5

Use the Law of Sines to find the missing angle of the triangle.

Find m < C to the nearest tenth if the c= 102, a = 71 and m < A=40

Answers

Answer:

66.9 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

The Law of Sines states that a/sinA = c/sinC. Plugging in the values for c, a, and M < A, we get:

71/sin40 = 102/sinC

Cross multiplying, we get:

102(sin40deg) = 71(sinC)

Now, we simplify the left side and get:

65.56 = 71(sinC)

Next, we divide 65.56 by 71 to get:

0.92 = sinC

Taking the inverse sign we get:

C = 66.9 degrees

There are (43)2⋅ 40 strawberries on a farm. What is the total number of strawberries on the farm?

Answers

Answer:

3,440 strawberries

Step-by-step explanation:

Because of PEMDAS you want to start with the parentheses, and want to treat them like the distributive property.

So,

43 x 2 = 86

Then,

86 x 40 = 3440.

I hope that helps!!

A card is chosen at random from a standard deck of 52 cards. What is the probability that the card is a Queen or a $\diamondsuit$ (or both)?

Answers

Answer:

probability that the card is a Queen or a diamond= 0.3269

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 4 queen in a deck of cards and 13 diamond in a deck of cards.

And a deck of cards contains 52 cards total.

Probability of the card selected to be a queen = number of queen/total number of cards

Probability of the card selected to be a queen =4/52

Probability of the card selected to be a queen= 1/13

Probability of the card selected to be a diamond= number of diamond/ total number of cards

Probability of the card selected to be a diamond=13/52

Probability of the card selected to be a diamond=1/4

probability that the card is a Queen or a diamond= Probability of the card selected to be a queen + Probability of the card selected to be a diamond

probability that the card is a Queen or a diamond= 1/13+1/4

probability that the card is a Queen or a diamond= 0.3269

How much water will be in each bottle if the total amount of water is equally divided among the bottles?

Answers

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

add everything up devide by 3

Answer:

C. 1/2 liter

Step-by-step explanation:

First, find the total amount of water by multiplying the amounts of water by the number of bottles, then adding all 3 values together:

1/4(1) = 1/4 liter

1/2(4) = 2 liters

3/4(1) = 3/4 liter

1/4 + 2 + 3/4 = 3 liters

There are 6 bottles in total, if we count the number of dots.

To find how much water would be in each bottle if the water was equally divided, divide the total amount of water by the number of bottles:

3 / 6 = 1/2

= 1/2 liter

Verify the identity. cos quanity x plus pi divided by two = -sin x

Answers

Answer:

see below

Step-by-step explanation:

cos ( x+pi/2) = -sinx

We know that

cos(A + B) = cos A cos B - sin A sin B

Let x = A and pi/2 = B

cos x cos pi/2 - sin x sin pi/2 = -sin x

We know cos pi/2 = 0  and sin pi/2 = 1

cos x * 0 - sin x *1 = -sin x

- sin x = - sin x

When a boy pulls his sled with a rope, the rope makes an angle of 70° with the horizontal. If a pull of 20 pounds on the rope is needed to move the sled, what is the horizontal component force?

7 lb
19 lb
20 lb
24 lb

Answers

Answer:

The answer to your question is 7 lbs.

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

angle = 70°

force = 20 lb

horizontal component

Process

To solve this problem just imagine a right triangle, where the force is the hypotenuse and the horizontal component is the adjacent side.

1.- Look for a trigonometric function that relates the adjacent side and the hypotenuse.

                  cos Ф = adjacent side / hypotenuse

- Solve for the adjacent side

                  adjacent side = hypotenuse x cosФ

- Substitution

                  adjacent side = 20 x cos 70

- Simplification

                  adjacent side = 20 x 0.342

- Result

                  adjacent side = 6.84 ≈ 7 lb

Determine the measure of the interior angle at vertex D. A. 27 B. 162 C. 20 D. 36

40x=720

x=720/40

x=18

To celebrate the first day of a leap year, I taught my dog to jump through a hoop. It was a Sunday. When he taught me the same trick the first day of the next year, it was a ?

Answers

Answer:

Tuesday

Step-by-step explanation:

364/7 = 52, meaning that 364 days later will also be a Sunday. 2 days after that (366 as it is a leap year) would be a Tuesday.

There will be Tuesday when the dog jumps the next year.

What is the reasoning?

the process of applying logical reasoning to examine a situation in order to identify the optimal strategy for solving a specific problem, then using this approach to develop and justify a solution.

Reasoning is a tricky but interesting problem in mathematics that required relations of variables to solve.

Since when the dog jumped it was Sunday

Next Sunday will be at

364/7 = 52

So, after 52 weeks or 364 days, there will be next Sunday.

Since leap year is 366 days years

366 - 364 = 2

So, two days after Sunday is Tuesday.

Hence the day after next year when the dog jump will be Tuesday.

After taking off from the landing pad, a helicopter flies 3 miles west, then 2 miles southeast. How far is the helicopter from the landing pad? If someone could explain to that would be very helpful

Answers

Answer:

When the plane makes its turn to fly southeast, it makes a 45º angle at point a, making angle abc also equal to 45º.  

Line ab is the 2 miles southeast the plane flies.

Line ac = line cb

sine (45º) = opposite / hypotenuse = cb / 2

.70711 = cb / 2

cb = 1.41422  miles = line ac

Line cs = 3 - 1.41422 = 1.58578

Line x^2 = cs^2 + cb^2

What are those equations?

Answers

Answer:

We have:

"70 divided by h equals 10"

We can write it in only one equation:

70/h = 10.

This is a rational equation because our variable is in the denominator of a quotient.

To solve it we can multiply by h on both sides of the equation and get:

(70/h)*h = 10*h

70 = 10*h

now we divide both sides by 10.

70/10 = (10*h)/10

7 = h.
