Answer:

x = √51

Step-by-step explanation:

The given figure is a right triangle.

Using the Pythagorean Theorem to find x

(Altitude 1)² + (Altitude 2)² = (Hypotenuse)²
(7)² + x² = (10)²
49 + x² = 100
x² = 51
x = √51

If x = a sin α, cos β, y = b sin α.sin β and z = c cos α then (x²/a²) + (y²/b²) + (z²/c²) = ?

$\large\underline{\sf{Solution-}}$

Given:

$\rm \longmapsto x = a \sin \alpha \cos \beta$

$\rm \longmapsto y = b \sin \alpha \sin \beta$

$\rm \longmapsto z = c\cos \alpha$

Therefore:

$\rm \longmapsto \dfrac{x}{a} = \sin \alpha \cos \beta$

$\rm \longmapsto \dfrac{y}{b} = \sin \alpha \sin \beta$

$\rm \longmapsto \dfrac{z}{c} = \cos \alpha$

Now:

$\rm = \dfrac{ {x}^{2} }{ {a}^{2}} + \dfrac{ {y}^{2} }{ {b}^{2} } + \dfrac{ {z}^{2} }{ {c}^{2} }$

$\rm = { \sin}^{2} \alpha \cos^{2} \beta + { \sin}^{2} \alpha \sin^{2} \beta + { \cos}^{2} \alpha$

$\rm = { \sin}^{2} \alpha (\cos^{2} \beta + \sin^{2} \beta )+ { \cos}^{2} \alpha$

$\rm = { \sin}^{2} \alpha \cdot1+ { \cos}^{2} \alpha$

$\rm = { \sin}^{2} \alpha + { \cos}^{2} \alpha$

$\rm = 1$

Therefore:

$\rm \longmapsto\dfrac{ {x}^{2} }{ {a}^{2}} + \dfrac{ {y}^{2} }{ {b}^{2} } + \dfrac{ {z}^{2} }{ {c}^{2} } = 1$

rick deposited $6200 in a savings account with simple interest. three years later, the account held $7130 what was the interest

Law Incorporation [45]

1) Gathering the data

P=$6200

F=7310

t= 3 yrs

2) Since it is a simple interest, it is a linear application. So we can find it using this formula:

$undefined$
