Answer:

<h2>37.9°</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Notice that angle Z is formed by sides XZ and YZ.

First, we need to find the slopes of each side.

m_{XZ}=\frac{2-(-1)}{1-(-1)}= \frac{2+1}{1+1}=\frac{3}{2}

The slope of side XZ is 3/2.

m_{YZ}=\frac{2-1}{1-(-2)}=\frac{1}{1+2}=\frac{1}{3}

The slope of side YX is 1/3.

Now, we need to recur to the angle-slope formula, which is gonna give us the angle between both sides, that is, angle Z.

tan(\angle Z)=|\frac{m_{XZ}-m_{YZ}}{1+(m_{XZ})(m_{YZ})} |

Replacing each slope, we have

tan(\angle Z)=|\frac{\frac{3}{2}-\frac{1}{3} }{1+\frac{3}{2}(\frac{1}{3})} |\\tan(\angle Z)=|\frac{\frac{9-2}{6} }{1+\frac{1}{2} } |=|\frac{\frac{7}{6} }{\frac{3}{2} } |\\tan(\angle Z)=|\frac{14}{18} |=|\frac{7}{9} |

Then, we solve for \angle Z

\angle Z=tan^{-1}(\frac{7}{9} ) \approx 37.9\°

Therefore, the approximate measure of angle Z is 37.9°

The value of a small airplane depreciates exponentially every year after it is purchased. The value, in thousands of dollars, a(
ratelena [41]

Using an exponential function, it is found that the number 131.5 represents the initial value of the plane, in thousands of dollars.

<h3>Exponential function:</h3>

A decaying exponential function is modeled by:

A(t) = A(0)(1 - r)^t

In which:

  • A(0) is the initial value.
  • r is the decay rate, as a decimal.

In this problem, the function for the value of the airplane after t years is given by:

A(t) = 131.5(0.8)^t

Hence A(0) = 131.5, which means that the number 131.5 represents the initial value of the plane, in thousands of dollars.

Solve the following systems of equations.<br> 2= 2y + 5<br> | 3y - 3x = -12
ivanzaharov [21]

Answer:

x=5/2, y=-3/2. (5/2, -3/2).

Step-by-step explanation:

2=2y+5

3y-3x=-12

--------------

2-5=2y

2y=-3

y=-3/2

3(-3/2)-3x=-12

-9/2-3x=-12

3x=-9/2-(-12)

3x=-9/2+12

3x=-9/2+24/2

3x=15/2

x=(15/2)/3

x=(15/2)(1/3)

x=15/6=5/2
