Answer:

66.42°

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Given:</u>

A(5, 3t+2, 2)

B(1, 3t, 2)

C(1, 4t, 3)

BA • BC = 4

Step 1: Find t.

First we have to find vectors BA and BC. We do that by subtracting the coordinates of the initial point from the coordinates of the terminal point.

In vector BA B is the initial point and A is the terminal point.

BA = OA - OB = (5-1, 3t+2-3t, 2-2) = (4, 2, 0)

BC = OC - OB = (1-1, 4t-3t, 3-2) = (0, t, 1)

Now we can find t because we know that BA • BC = 4

BA • BC = 4

To find dot product we calculate the sum of the produts of the corresponding components.

BA • BC = (4)(0) + (2)(t) + (0)(1)

4 = (4)(0) + (2)(t) + (0)(1)

4 = 0 + 2t + 0

4 = 2t

2 = t

t = 2

Now we know that:

BA = (4, 2, 0)

BC = (0, 2, 1)

Step 2: Find the angle ∠ABC.

Dot product: a • b = |a| |b| cos(angle)

BA • BC = 4

|BA| |BC| cos(angle) = 4

To get magnitudes we square each compoment of the vector and sum them together. Then square root.

|BA| = \sqrt{4^2 + 2^2 + 0^2} = \sqrt{20} = 2\sqrt{5}

|BC| = \sqrt{0^2 + 2^2 + 1^2} = \sqrt{5}

2\sqrt{5}\sqrt{5}\cos{(m\angle{ABC})} = 4

10\cos{(m\angle{ABC})} = 4

\cos(m\angle{ABC}) = \frac{4}{10}=\frac{2}{5}

m\angle{ABC} = cos^{-1}{(\frac{2}{5})}

m\angle{ABC} = 66.4218^{\circ}

Rounded to two decimal places:

m\angle{ABC} = 66.42^\circ

You have a $3175 student loan. Suppose you pay the loan off in two and a half years (30 months). Estimate your monthly payment b
finlep [7]

Answer:

$106

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula given for Monthly payment of a loan =

P × [ r (1 + r)/(1 + r)^n - 1

Where

r = interest rate

n = number of monthly payments

P = Present value of the loan

From the question,

r = interest rate, we were told to ignore hence, r = 0

P = $3,175

n = 30

Hence,

Amount to be paid monthly = P/n

= $3175/30

= $105.83

Approximately to the nearest dollars

= $106

HELP ASAP! Please give a detailed explanation!
mash [69]

Answer:

If the first die is a 5, the second must be 5 or more in order to have a sum of at least ten.

Assuming it is a six sided die, the two values that would make this true are 5 and 6.

2 values/6 possible would be a probability of 2/6, which simplifies to 1/3

Final answer: 1/3

Find the value of x.
Brrunno [24]

Answer: x=133

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a hexagon that has a total of 720 degrees (which you can get by the formula of degrees = (# of sides – 2) * 180).

You first add up all your side:

150+130+97+120+90 +x = 587 + x

587+x = 720

x=133

Im confused on this one !
Alex787 [66]

I believe that it would be the first one. They are looking for the distance from the y-axis, so the x value doesnt matter. 6 is 6 units away from the y-axis, and -6 is also 6 units away from the y-axis. Hope I helped!
