Answer:

Hence, the length of the chord joining two perpendicular radii is:

6√2 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let r denote the radius of circle.

i.e. r=6 inches.

Let AB be the chord that connects two perpendicular radii i.e. OA and OB whose lengths are given to be 6 inches.

We can apply pythagorean theorem to find the length of the chord.

$AB^2=OA^2+OB^2\\\\AB^2=6^2+6^2\\\\AB^2=36+36\\\\AB^2=72\\\\AB=\sqrt{72}\\\\AB=6\sqrt{2}$ .

Hence, the length of a chord connecting two perpendicular radii is:

6√2 inches.

Answer:

x = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

x+8 = 2x +10

-2x + x = 10-8

-x = 2

divide both side by -1

answer -- x = -2

I'm assuming you're looking to find the expanded form of the number?

This number is in scientific notation. The easiest way to convert it to a normal number is to move the decimal place 14 to the right. I've attached a picture showing how to do this. You should get 630,000,000,000,000

There's a faster way to do this - notice that you need to move the decimal 14 to the right, and there's one number already after the decimal place. Therefore, 13 places will be filled with zeros. So, just write out 63 and add 13 zeros.

For more general help on scientific notation, check out these videos: https://www.khanacademy.org/math/pre-algebra/pre-algebra-exponents-radicals/pre-algebra-scientific-notation/v/scientific-notation-old

Hope that helps! Feel free to message me or leave a comment if I can clarify anything :)

A particle moves along the x-axis so that at any time t, t ≥ 0, its acceleration is a(t) = -4sin(2t). If the velocity of the par

sasho [114]

The velocity of the particle is given by

$v(t)=v(0)+\displaystyle\int_0^ta(u)\,\mathrm du$

Since $a(t)=-4\sin2t$ and $v(0)=7$ , we get

$\displaystyle\int_0^ta(u)\,\mathrm du=\int_0^t-4\sin2u\,\mathrm du=2\cos2u\bigg|_0^t=2\cos2t-2$

$\implies v(t)=2\cos2t+5$

Similarly, the position function is obtained via

$x(t)=x(0)+\displaystyle\int_0^tv(u)\,\mathrm du$

We know $v(t)$ and we're told that $x(0)=0$ , so

$\displaystyle\int_0^tv(u)\,\mathrm du=\int_0^t(2\cos2u+5)\,\mathrm du=\sin2u+5u\bigg|_0^t=\sin2t+5t$

$\implies x(t)=\sin2t+5t$

making the answer A.

Create equivalent expressions in the equation that all have equal bases.72(3x)=73(2x+1)72(3x)=73(2x+1)Since the bases are the same, then two expressions are only equal if the exponents are also equal.2(3x)=3(2x+1)
