Answer:

170°

Step-by-step explanation:

Let a be the distance from Los Angeles to Chicago = 1744 miles, b be the distance from Chicago to New York = 714 miles and c be the distance from New York to Los Angeles = 2451 miles.

A is the angle opposite to side a, B is the angle opposite to side b and C is the angle opposite to side c.

Therefore the angle at Chicago is  C.

From cosine rule:

c² = a² + b² - 2ab × cos (C)

2ab × cos (C) = a² + b² - c²

cos (C) = (a² + b² - c²) / 2ab

Substituting:

cos (C) = (1744² + 714² - 2451²) / 2×1744×741

cos (C) = -0.986

C = cos⁻¹ (- 0.986) = 170°

Answer:

x = -2 to x = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

A function is constant when the y value does not change (i.e. the graph is a horizontal line). This is true between x = -2 and x = 1.

Each of the line segments in the word MATH are numbered in the graph below. Find the slope (as a ratio of rise over run) of each
emmasim [6.3K]

Answer/Step-by-step explanation:

7. Line 1 = undefined.

Slope of a vertical line is always undefined. The run is zero as x-coordinate remains the same.

8. Line 2 = \frac{4}{3}

slope = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}

slope = \frac{8 - 4}{-5 -(-8)}

slope = \frac{8 - 4}{-5 + 8}

slope = \frac{4}{3}

9. Line 3 = \frac{4}{3}

slope = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}

slope = \frac{8 - 4}{-2 -(-5)}

slope = \frac{8 - 4}{-2 + 5}

slope = \frac{4}{3}

10. Line 4 = undefined (slope of a vertical line is always undefined)

11. Line 5 = \frac{7}{3}

slope = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}

slope = \frac{8 - 1}{5 - 2}

slope = \frac{7}{3}

12. Line 6 = -\frac{7}{3}

slope = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}

slope = \frac{8 - 1}{5 - 8}

slope = \frac{7}{-3}

slope = -\frac{7}{3}

13. Line 7 = 0

An horizontal line has no rise.

14. Line 8 = 0 (slope of horizontal line is always zero)

15. Line 9 = undefined (slope of a vertical line is always undefined)

16. Line 10 = undefined (slope of a vertical line is always undefined)

17. Line 11 = 0 (slope of horizontal line is always zero)

18. Line 12 = undefined (slope of a vertical line is always undefined)

) Elise has put 5 cans (all of the same size) on her kitchen counter; 2 cans of vegetables, 2 cans of soup , and 1 can of peache
Anvisha [2.4K]

Answer:

0.7 = 70%.

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 5 cans, and she will pick 2, so the number of possibilities that she can pick 2 cans is a combination of 5 choose 2:

C(5,2) = 5!(3!*2!) = 5*4/2 = 10

To find how many possibilities there are with at least 1 can of soup, we can find the number of groups that include no cans of soup, and then see how many possibilities complete the total 10:

There are 3 "no-soup" cans, so the number of possibilities is a combination of 3 choose 2:

C(3,2) = 3!/2! = 3

So, there are 3 possibilities that have no cans of soup, so the number of possibilities that have at least 1 can of soup is 10 - 3 = 7

Then, the probability is 7 / 10 = 0.7 = 70%.
