Recall that r^2 = x^2 + y^2, so that r = sqrt(x^2+y^2).
y
r = 3 sin g becomes sqrt(x^2+y^2) = 3*-----------------------
sqrt(x^2+y^2)
Squaring both sides,
9y^2
x^2+y^2 = -----------------
x^2 + y^2
If this is correct (and I'm not convinced that it is), then (x^2+y^2)^2 = 9y^2
shows the relationship between x and y. Can anyone improve on this result?
Answer:
16 minutes
Step-by-step explanation:
Tom walks for 5 minutes longer than he rides. To figure out the answer, start by subtracting 5:
27 - 5 = 22
Now that you have done this, divide 22 by 2:
22/2 = 11
Now you know that he rode the bus for 11 minutes, and you can add five to the other 11 minutes to know how long he walked:
11 + 5 = 16.
