Answer:

The answer is A) 2x + y = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the first line has a slope of -2, we know that the second does as well. We know this because parallel lines have the same slope. Now we can use that slope along with the point in point-slope form to get the equation.

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - 2 = -2(x - 2)

y - 2 = -2x + 4

y = -2x + 6

In this case, to find an equation that is similar, we could put it into standard for.

y = -2x + 6

2x + y = 6

This is answer A

A storage tank contains a liquid radioactive element with a half-life of 96 years. It will be relatively safe for the contents t

PolarNik [594]

Answer:

The tank must remain intact for 1183 years.

Step-by-step explanation:

Exponential equation for decay:

The amount of a substance after t years is given by:

$A(t) = A(0)e^{rt}$

In which A(0) is the initial amount and r is the decay rate.

A storage tank contains a liquid radioactive element with a half-life of 96 years.

This means that $A(96) = 0.5A(0)$ , and we use this to find r.

$A(t) = A(0)e^{rt}$

$0.5A(0) = A(0)e^{96r}$

$e^{96r} = 0.5$

$\ln{e^{96r}} = \ln{0.5}$

$96r = \ln{0.5}$

$r = \frac{\ln{0.5}}{96}$

$r = -0.0072$

So

$A(t) = A(0)e^{-0.0072t}$

It will be relatively safe for the contents to leak from the tank when 0.02% of the radioactive element remains. How long must the tank remain intact for this storage procedure to be safe?

This is t for which $A(t) = 0.0002A(0)$ . So

$A(t) = A(0)e^{-0.0072t}$

$0.0002A(0) = A(0)e^{-0.0072t}$

$e^{-0.0072t} = 0.0002$

$\ln{e^{-0.0072t}} = \ln{0.0002}$

$-0.0072t = \ln{0.0002}$

$t = -\frac{\ln{0.0002}}{0.0072}$

$t = 1183$

The tank must remain intact for 1183 years.

What is equivalent to -1/4y -2 1/4y + 1/2 (4-2y) a) -3y + 2 b) -3 1/2y + 2 c) -4y + 4

Amanda [17]

Answer:

B. -3 1/2y + 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Our expression is: $\frac{-1}{4} y-2\frac{1}{4} y+\frac{1}{2} (4-2y)$ .

Let's first distribute out that parentheses. Remember that distribution is simply taking the sum of the product of the outside term with each of the inside terms. Here, the outside term is 1/2 and the inside terms are 4 and -2y:

$\frac{1}{2} (4-2y)=\frac{1}{2} *4+\frac{1}{2} *(-2y)=2-y$

Now, we have:

$\frac{-1}{4} y-2\frac{1}{4} y+2-y$

We want to combine like terms, which means combining all the terms with y in them:

$\frac{-1}{4} y-2\frac{1}{4} y-y+2=\frac{-1}{4} y-\frac{9}{4} y-\frac{4}{4} y+2=\frac{-1-9-4}{4} y+2=\frac{-14}{4} y+2=\frac{-7}{2} y+2$

Remember that -7/2 can be written as the mixed number -3 1/2, so our final answer is:

-3 1/2y + 2

The answer is thus B.

Several students made comments about this image.

yawa3891 [41]

Answer:

The third comment is the true one: "If I know the measures of angles C and B, I can find the measures of A and D."

This is because you can use the angle B to find angle A by subtracting it from 180, and you can find angle D by adding together C and B and subtracting that from 180.

I hope this helps!

In ΔWXY, x = 680 inches, w = 900 inches and ∠W=157°. Find all possible values of ∠X, to the nearest degree.

ikadub [295]

Given:

In ΔWXY, x = 680 inches, w = 900 inches and ∠W=157°.

To find:

The all possible values of ∠X, to the nearest degree.

Solution:

Law of Sines:

$\dfrac{a}{\sin A}=\dfrac{b}{\sin B}=\dfrac{c}{\sin C}$

For ΔWXY,

$\dfrac{w}{\sin W}=\dfrac{x}{\sin X}=\dfrac{y}{\sin Y}$

Now,

$\dfrac{w}{\sin W}=\dfrac{x}{\sin X}$

$\dfrac{900}{\sin (157^\circ)}=\dfrac{680}{\sin X}$

$900\sin X=680\sin (157^\circ)$

$\sin X=\dfrac{680}{900}\sin (157^\circ)$

$\sin X=0.295219$

$X=\sin^{-1}(0.295219)$

$X=17.17067$

$X\approx 17$

Therefore, the value of ∠X is 17 degrees.
