$\bf slope = {{ m}}= \cfrac{rise}{run} \implies 
\cfrac{{{ f(x_2)}}-{{ f(x_1)}}}{{{ x_2}}-{{ x_1}}}\impliedby 
\begin{array}{llll}
average\ rate\\
of\ change
\end{array}\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\
\stackrel{y}{f(x)}= -3x+2 \qquad 
\begin{cases}
x_1=-3\\
x_2=4
\end{cases}\implies \cfrac{f(4)-f(-3)}{4-(-3)}
\\\\\\
\cfrac{[-3(4)+2]~~-~~[-3(-3)+2]}{4+3}\implies \cfrac{-10~~-~~[11]}{7}
\\\\\\
\cfrac{-21}{7}\implies \cfrac{-3}{1}\implies -3$

Two forces with magnitudes 300 pounds and 450 pounds, with an angle of 60° between them, act upon an object. What is the approxi

kifflom [539]

Answer:

653.84 lbs.

Step-by-step explanation:

To make the computation simple, assume the 450 lb force acts along the x axis in the positive direction.

The x component of the 300 lb force is 300cos(60)=150 lbs.

The y component of the 300 lb force is 300sin(60)= $300*\frac{\sqrt{3} }{2} =259.81\\$ lbs.

The x component of the total force is the sum of the x components of the two forces.

Fx=150+450=600

Fy=259.81

The net force is obtained using the Pythagorean theorem, since the two force components are perpindicular.

F=Sqrt(Fx^2+Fy^2)=Sqrt(360000+67501.24)=Sqrt(427501)=653.84 lbs.

Emanuel added two integers.

Temka [501]

A. When you add to negative numbers, it is always negative. A positive + a positive is positive. In D, the answer is always 0. 1 + -1 is 0. In C, it varies. The bigger number not including the negative sign is the sign the number has. For example, -6 + 5 = -1. 6 is bigger than 5. You subtract the smaller number from the bigger number and that is the answer. You would then tack on the negative sign because it is -6, and 6 is bigger than 5.
