Answer:

10 and 4.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the first number.

Let y be the second number.

x + y = 2x - 6

x - y = 4y - 10

x = 4y - 10 + y

x = 5y - 10

(5y - 10) + y = 2(5y - 10) - 6

6y - 10 = 10y - 20 - 6

6y - 10 = 10y - 26

6y - 10y = -26 + 10

-4y = -16

y = 4

x - (4) = 4(4) - 10

x - 4 = 16 - 10

x - 4 = 6

x = 6 + 4

x = 10

Find the exact value of each trigonometric function for the given angle θ.
irina [24]

Answer:

[rad] 2.41

Step-by-step explanation:

Since it gave you the point and the angle to find, you simply just have to solve for the inverse of cot. Remember cot is the opposite of tan, so cot is cos/sin. In that case, we plug into the calc (in radians):

cot^-1(-√5/2)

And we should get 2.41 as our answer!

Dinosaur fossils are often dated by using an element other than carbon, like potassium-40, that has a longer half life (in this
Firlakuza [10]
The amount of substance left of a radioactive element of half life, t_{\frac{1}{2}} after a time, t, is given by:

N(t)=N_0\left( \frac{1}{2} \right)^ \frac{t}{t_{  \frac{1}{2} }}

Given that <span>potassium-40 has a half life of approximately 1.25 billion years.

The number of years it will take for 0.1% of potassium-40 to remain is obtained as follows:

0.1=100\left( \frac{1}{2} \right)^ \frac{t}{1.25}} \\  \\ \Rightarrow\left( \frac{1}{2} \right)^ \frac{t}{1.25}}=0.001 \\  \\ \Rightarrow\frac{t}{1.25}\ln\left( \frac{1}{2} \right)=\ln(0.001) \\  \\ \Rightarrow \frac{t}{1.25}= \frac{\ln(0.001)}{\ln\left( \frac{1}{2} \right)} =9.966 \\  \\ t=9.966(1.25)=12.5

Therefore, </span><span>the maximum age of a fossil that we could date using 40k is 12.5 billion years.</span>

In the given figure find the value of x and y?<br>Show you works - Thank you!​
Vaselesa [24]

<u>EXPLANATION</u><u>:</u>

In ∆ ABC , ∠ABC = 40°

  • ∠CAB = x°
  • & ∠ACD = 50°

∠ACD is an exterior angle formed by extending BC to D

We know that

The exterior angle of a triangle formed by extending one side is equal to the sum of the opposite interior angles.

∠ACD = ∠CAB + ∠ABC

⇛50° = x° + 40°

⇛x° = 50°-40°

<h3>⇛x° = 10°</h3>

and

In ∆ ACD , AC = CD

⇛ ∠CDA = ∠CAD

Since the angles opposite to equal sides are equal.

Let ∠CDA = ∠CAD = A°

We know that

The sum of all angles in a triangle is 180°

In ∆ ACD,

∠CDA +∠CAD + ∠ACD = 180°

A°+A°+50° = 180°

⇛2A°+50° = 180°

⇛2A° = 180°-50°

⇛2A° = 130°

⇛A° = 130°/2

⇛A° = 65°

now,

∠CDA = ∠CAD = 65°

∠BAC + ∠CAD+y = 180°

Since angles in the same line

10°+65°+y = 180°

⇛75°+y =180°

⇛y = 180°-75°

<h3>⇛y = 105°</h3>

<u>Answer</u><u>:</u> Hence, the value of “x” & “y” will be 10° and 105° respectively.
