6 0

Answer:

6 pelicans

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = number of pelicans

Cody saw 4 times as many seagulls as pelicans:

⇒ number of seagulls = 4x

Total of 30 birds:

⇒ seagulls + pelicans = 30

⇒ 4x + x = 30

⇒ 5x = 30

⇒ x = 6

Therefore, there were 6 pelicans (and 24 seagulls).

Solve 2(4 x + 3) < 5 x + 21. { x | x < 9} { x | x > -5} { x | x > -9} { x | x < 5}

Nesterboy [21]

Answer:

x <5

Step-by-step explanation:

2(4 x + 3) < 5 x + 21

Distribute

8x +6 < 5x +21

Subtract 5x from each side

8x -5x +6 < 5x-5x+21

3x +6 < 21

Subtract 6 from each side

3x+6-6 <21-6

3x <15

Divide each side by 3

3x/3 <15/3

x <5

Which of the following functions have a vertical asymptote for values of Ø such that cos Ø = 1?Select all that apply.

igomit [66]

Answer:

$y=\cot \theta$ and $y=\csc \theta$

Step-by-step explanation:

Note that if $\cos \theta=1,$ then $\sin \theta=0.$

Functions $y=\cos \theta,\ \ y=\sin \theta$ do not have vertical asymptotes at all.

Vertical asymptotes have functions $y=\tan \theta,\ \ y=\cot \theta,\ \ y=\sec \theta,\ \ y=\csc \theta.$

Functions $y=\tan \theta$ and $y=\sec \theta$ have the same vertical asymptotes (when $\cos \theta =0$ ).

Functions $y=\cot \theta$ and $y=\csc \theta$ have the same vertical asymptotes (when $\sin \theta =0$ ). See attached diagram

In the diagram below, xy and yz are tangent to O. What is the measure of angle y

Tatiana [17]

If we draw in OX, OY, OZ we have two congruent right triangles, right angles at the tangent points.

We know XOZ is 132 degrees, which is the meaning of the arc measure

So YOX is half that, 66 degrees.

That leaves 180 - 90 - 66 = 24 degrees for OYX

Angle Y aka XYZ is double that, 48 degrees.

Answer: C
