Answer:

y + 1 = 1/2 (x - 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Point-slope form of an equation is a shortcut, fill-in-the-blank way to write the equation of a line. All you need is slope (usually symbolized with an m) and a point (any point on the line)

Here's Point-slope:

y - Y = m (x - X)

The slope they gave you is 1/2, put that in for the m.

And also fill in 3 for the X and -1 for the Y. Because a point is (X,Y)

Just leave the first y as a y, right there. And leave the first x in the parentheses as an x. They are variables in the equation. They stay letters.

y - -1 = 1/2 (x - 3)

Simplify.

y + 1 = 1/2 (x - 3)

Minus a negative is the same as plus a positive, that's what happened there on the left. Also, when you write it, make sure the 1/2 is beside the parentheses on the right. The parentheses should not be on the bottom with the 2, but just beside the fraction.

Rationalize the denominator of 4/14 root 2?

Katarina [22]

First of all, you can simplify the 4 at the numerator and the 14 at the denominator (they're both multiple of 2):

$\dfrac{4}{14\sqrt{2}} = \dfrac{2\cdot 2}{2\cdot 7\cdot\sqrt{2}} = \dfrac{2}{7\sqrt{2}}$

Now, rationalize a denominator means that you have to get rid of the square root, in order to have an integer denominator.

To do so, remember that you can always multiply any number by 1 without changing its value, and you can always think of 1 as a fraction where numerator and denominator are equal:

$\dfrac{2}{7\sqrt{2}} = \dfrac{2}{7\sqrt{2}}\cdot 1 = \dfrac{2}{7\sqrt{2}} \cdot \dfrac{\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{2}} = \dfrac{2\sqrt{2}}{7\cdot 2} = \dfrac{\sqrt{2}}{7}$

Pls help with Trigonometric

Sav [38]

The value of the given trigonometry function is 2√15/15

<h3>Half angles</h3>

Half angles are trigonometric identities used to express sine, cosine and tangent of half angles.

For instance the value of cos theta is expressed as shown below;

cosФ = cos(Ф/2+Ф/2)

cosФ = cos²Ф/2-sin²Ф/2
cosФ = cos²Ф/2-(1-cos²Ф/2)
cosФ = 1 - 2cos²Ф/2

Given the following parameters

cosФ = -7/15

Substitute

cosФ = 1 - 2cos²Ф/2

-7/15 = 1 - 2cos²Ф/2

-2cos²Ф/2 = -7/15 - 1

-2cos²Ф/2 = -8/15

cos²Ф/2 = 4/15
cosФ/2 = 2/√15

Rationalize

2/√15 * √15/√15

2√15/15

Hence the value of the given trigonometry function is 2√15/15

In a group of Explore students, 38 enjoy video games, 12 enjoy going to the movies and 24 enjoy solving mathematical problems. O

Elodia [21]

Answer:

The number of students that like only two of the activities are 34

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of students that enjoy video games, A = 38

Number of students that enjoy going to the movies, B = 12

Number of students that enjoy solving mathematical problems, C = 24

A∩B∩C = 8

Here we have;

n(A∪B∪C) = n(A) + n(B) + n(C) - n(A∩B) - n(B∩C) -n(A∩C) + n(A∩B∩C)

= 38 + 12 + 24 - n(A∩B) - n(B∩C) -n(A∩C) + 8

Also the number of student that like only one activity is found from the following equation;

n(A) - n(A∩B) - n(A∩C) + n(A∩B∩C) + n(B) - n(A∩B) - n(B∩C) + n(A∩B∩C) + n(C) - n(C∩B) - n(A∩C) + n(A∩B∩C) = 30

n(A) + n(B) + n(C) - 2·n(A∩B) - 2·n(A∩C) - 2·n(B∩C) + 3·n(A∩B∩C) = 30

38 + 12 + 24 - 2·n(A∩B) - 2·n(A∩C) - 2·n(B∩C) + 24 = 30

- 2·n(A∩B) - 2·n(A∩C) - 2·n(B∩C) = -68

n(A∩B) + n(B∩C) + n(A∩C) = 34

Therefore, the number of students that like only two of the activities = 34.

A triangle has angle measures of 47 degrees and 92 degrees. What is the measure of the third angle?

ludmilkaskok [199]

Answer:

The missing angle is 41 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

First of all, a triangle is measured at 180 degrees in total

To find the missing measurement for the third angle, add the 47 and 92 degrees together which would equal 139 degrees.

47+92=139 degrees

Next just subtract 139 from 180 to get your answer.

180-139=41 degrees

The answer is 41 degrees

How is 89 a prime number

ad-work [718]

Hello,

10*10=100>89
n=89 is prime if it not divisible by all prime less then its square root

0<89<100 ==>0<√89<10
The primes to test are 2,3,5,7.
89 does not end with a even digit ==> 89 is not divisible by 2
8+9=17 if not divisible by 3 ==>89 is not divisible by 3
89 does not end with 0 or 5 ==>89 is not divisible by 5

3*8+1*9=33 is not divisible by 7 ==>89 is not divisible by 7

So: 89 is prime.
