Suppose y varies inversely as x, and y = 16 when x = 1/2. Find y when x = 17.

Answers

Answer 1

Finding the proportionality constant :

y = k/x16 = k/(1/2)k = 8

Finding y when x = 17 :

y = 8/(17)y = 8/17

The value of y is 8/17 when x = 17.

A triangular patch of grass in a park is bordered by walking paths. The longest path bordering the patch of grass measures 135 feet. The smallest path bordering the patch of grass measures 60 feet. The smallest angle formed by the paths measures 26°. What is the measure of the largest angle of the triangular patch of grass? Round your answer to the nearest degree. Show all your work.

Answers

The measure of the largest angle of the triangular patch of grass is 81 degrees

Application of sine rule

In order to determine the measure of the largest angle, we will use the expression below;

[tex]\frac{60}{sin26^0} =\frac{135}{sinx^0}[/tex]

Cross multiply

135sin26 = 60sinx

sinx = 135sin26/60

sinx = 59.18/60
sinx = 0.986

x = 80.5 degrees

Hence the measure of the largest angle of the triangular patch of grass is 81 degrees

Answers

Using the relation between velocity, distance and time, it is found that t = 3 hours.

What is the relation between velocity, distance and time?

Velocity is distance divided by time, hence:

[tex]v = \frac{d}{t}[/tex]

For this problem, the parameters are given as follows:

d = 15 miles, v = 5 mph

Hence the time in hours is found as follows:

[tex]v = \frac{d}{t}[/tex]

Describe the correlation in terms of strength (weak or strong) and direction positive or negative).

Answers

The description of the correlation in terms of strength (weak or strong) and direction positive or negative) is as explained below.

How to Interpret Correlation Problems?

A correlation coefficient, is expressed as r and it indicates a measure of the direction and strength of a relationship between two variables.

Now, in terms of strength, Correlation strength ranges from -1 to +1. Thus, The closer the correlation is to 0, the weaker it is while the closer it is to ±1, the stronger it is.

Now, in terms of direction;

A correlation of +1 indicates a perfect positive correlation which tells us that both variables move in the same direction together.

A correlation of –1 indicates a perfect negative correlation, which tells us that as one variable goes up, the other goes down.

A zero correlation suggests that the correlation statistic does not indicate a relationship between the two variables.

Step-by-step explanation:

Gerald is constructing a line parallel to line l through point P. He begins by drawing line m through points P and Q. He then draws a circle centered at Q, which intersects line l at point N and line m at point S. Keeping the compass measure, he draws a congruent circle centered at point P, which intersects line m at point T.

Which next step will create point R, such that when a line is drawn through points P and R, the line will be parallel to line l?

Lines m and n intersect at point Q. A circle is drawn around point Q and forms point S on line m and forms point N on line l. Point P is also on line m. A circle is drawn around point P and forms point T on line m.

A school show had ticket sales of $1345 the first night and $935 the second night. 180 student tickets were sold and 110 adult tickets were sold on the first night. 100 student tickets were sold and 90 adult tickets were sold. find the price of a student ticket

Answers

Using a system of equations, it is found that the price of a student ticket is of $3.49.

What is a system of equations?

A system of equations is when two or more variables are related, and equations are built to find the values of each variable.

The variables are given as follows:

Variable x: Price of a student ticket.Variable y: Price of an adult ticket.

Considering the revenues and the number of tickets sold, the equations are given as follows:

180x + 110y = 1345.100x + 90y = 935.

From the second equation:

90y = 935 - 100x

y = (935 - 100x)/90

y = 10.39 - 1.11x

Replacing in the first equation:

180x + 110y = 1345.

180x + 110(10.39 - 1.11x) = 1345

57.9x = 202.1.

x = 202.1/57.9

x = 3.49.

Which graph represents the given function?

Here we have the function:

[tex]f(x) = \sqrt{x + 2} - 3[/tex]

Remember that the argument of a square root must be zero or larger, then the minimum of the domain is the value of x such that:

x + 2 = 0

x = -2

Then the function starts at:

[tex]f(-2) = \sqrt{-2 + 2} - 3 = -3[/tex]

Then the graph should start at (-3, 2).

We can also identify another point by evaluating in x = 2.

[tex]f(2) = \sqrt{2 + 2} - 3 =2 - 3 = -1[/tex]

So the function also passes through (2, - 1).

From the top of a cliff 90 m high, the angle of depression of a boat on the sea is 26.2°. Calculate how far the boat is
a from the foot of the cliff,
b from the top of the cliff.​

Answers

Answer:

  a) 182.90 m

  b) 203.85 m

Step-by-step explanation:

The relations between trig functions and measures in a right triangle are summarized in the mnemonic SOH CAH TOA. Here, we are given an angle and the side opposite, and we are asked to find the adjacent side and the hypotenuse.

__

a)

The foot of the cliff to the boat is the adjacent side of the angle in our model. So, we can use the relation ...

  Tan = Opposite/Adjacent

Solving for the adjacent side, we have ...

  BF = (90 m)/tan(26.2°) ≈ 182.90 m

The boat is about 182.90 meters from the foot of the cliff.

__

b)

The top of the cliff to the boat is the hypotenuse of the triangle we're using to model the situation. This means the applicable relation is ...

  Sin = Opposite/Hypotenuse

  BC = (90 m)/sin(26.2°) ≈ 203.85 m

The boat is about 203.85 meters from the top of the cliff.

Solve for x180° = ∠1 + ∠2 + ∠x180° = 75° + 50° + x°180° - 75° - 50° = x°55° = x°

The value of x is 55°.

Angle sum property of a triangle

Angle sum property of triangle states that the sum of interior angles of a triangle is 180°.

∠A + ∠B + ∠C = 180°

∠A = ?∠B = 75°∠C = 50°

We need to find the value of ∠A

According to the angle sum property of a triangle

∠A + ∠B + ∠C = 180°

∠A + 75° + 50° = 180°

∠A + 125° = 180°

∠A = 180° - 125°

∠A = 55°

Divide by 9

b = 3

Substitute b = 3 in 2a - 2b = 12

2a - 2*3 = 12

Divide through by 2

a - 3 = 6

Add 3 to both sides
