Answer:

-7

Step-by-step explanation:

Because there is no multiplication, it is just the x^2 terms. There is a -(-2x^2) and a -9x^2, so it is 2x^2 and -9x^2 or -7x^2, so the coefficient is -7.

Who is taking in more calories if the small bag of snickers are the exact same size: A person in a group where 5 people are shar

MrRa [10]

Answer:

A person in a group where 5 people are sharing 3 small bags of snickers

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of calories in one bag of snickers =x

Number of calories in 3 small bags of snickers =3x

If 5 people share 3 small bags of snickers, 1 person's share $=\dfrac{3x}{5}$

Number of calories in 2 small bags of snickers =2x

If 7 people share 2 small bags of snickers, 1 person's share $=\dfrac{2x}{7}$

We then compare the two.

Let x=1

$\dfrac{3}{5}=0.6$ calories per person\\\dfrac{2}{7}=0.29$ calories per person$

Therefore, a person in a group where 5 people are sharing 3 small bags of snickers gets more calories.

Which sphere has a volume of 0.288Pi in.3? A sphere with radius 0.4 inches. A sphere with radius 0.5 inches. A sphere with radiu

worty [1.4K]

<em>C. A sphere with radius 0.6 inches.</em>

<u><em>Here is why:</em></u>

The equation for the volume of a sphere is:

$V=\frac{4}{3} \pi r^3$

We can plug in and solve.

$V=\frac{4}{3}*\pi *0.6*0.6*0.6$

We will multiply everything but leave the 3 to divide later.

So...

$4*\pi *0.6*0.6*0.6=0.864\pi$

Divide by 3.

$0.864\pi /3=$

0.288π

Find sin(a)&cos(B), tan(a)&cot(B), and sec(a)&csc(B).

Reil [10]

Answer:

Part A) $sin(\alpha)=\frac{4}{7},\ cos(\beta)=\frac{4}{7}$

Part B) $tan(\alpha)=\frac{4}{\sqrt{33}},\ tan(\beta)=\frac{4}{\sqrt{33}}$

Part C) $sec(\alpha)=\frac{7}{\sqrt{33}},\ csc(\beta)=\frac{7}{\sqrt{33}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A) Find $sin(\alpha)\ and\ cos(\beta)$

we know that

If two angles are complementary, then the value of sine of one angle is equal to the cosine of the other angle

In this problem

$\alpha+\beta=90^o$ ---> by complementary angles

so

$sin(\alpha)=cos(\beta)$

Find the value of $sin(\alpha)$ in the right triangle of the figure

$sin(\alpha)=\frac{8}{14}$ ---> opposite side divided by the hypotenuse

simplify

$sin(\alpha)=\frac{4}{7}$

therefore

$sin(\alpha)=\frac{4}{7}$

$cos(\beta)=\frac{4}{7}$

Part B) Find $tan(\alpha)\ and\ cot(\beta)$

we know that

If two angles are complementary, then the value of tangent of one angle is equal to the cotangent of the other angle

In this problem

$\alpha+\beta=90^o$ ---> by complementary angles

so

$tan(\alpha)=cot(\beta)$

<em>Find the value of the length side adjacent to the angle alpha</em>

Applying the Pythagorean Theorem

Let

x ----> length side adjacent to angle alpha

$14^2=x^2+8^2\\x^2=14^2-8^2\\x^2=132$

$x=\sqrt{132}\ units$

simplify

$x=2\sqrt{33}\ units$

Find the value of $tan(\alpha)$ in the right triangle of the figure

$tan(\alpha)=\frac{8}{2\sqrt{33}}$ ---> opposite side divided by the adjacent side angle alpha

simplify

$tan(\alpha)=\frac{4}{\sqrt{33}}$

therefore

$tan(\alpha)=\frac{4}{\sqrt{33}}$

$tan(\beta)=\frac{4}{\sqrt{33}}$

Part C) Find $sec(\alpha)\ and\ csc(\beta)$

we know that

If two angles are complementary, then the value of secant of one angle is equal to the cosecant of the other angle

In this problem

$\alpha+\beta=90^o$ ---> by complementary angles

so

$sec(\alpha)=csc(\beta)$

Find the value of $sec(\alpha)$ in the right triangle of the figure

$sec(\alpha)=\frac{1}{cos(\alpha)}$

Find the value of $cos(\alpha)$

$cos(\alpha)=\frac{2\sqrt{33}}{14}$ ---> adjacent side divided by the hypotenuse

simplify

$cos(\alpha)=\frac{\sqrt{33}}{7}$

therefore

$sec(\alpha)=\frac{7}{\sqrt{33}}$

$csc(\beta)=\frac{7}{\sqrt{33}}$
