Answer:

x=5\ ft

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The bar is 9 feet long

so

x+(x-1)=9

Solve for x

2x-1=9

2x=10

x=5\ ft

Verify

40x=50(x-1)

substitute the value of x

40(5)=50(5-1)

40(5)=50(4)

200=200 -----> the weights are perfectly balanced

So...we can write eqn as

40x = 50(x-1)
so. -10x=-50
so. x=5

therefore .... the distance of 40 lb will be 5 ft ...answer !!!

Which pair of angle measures satisfy the condition sin J = cos K?
kipiarov [429]
Sin J = cos K
sin J = cos (90 - J)

So, K = 90 - J

Therefore, 60 deg, 30 deg satisfy the condition sin J = cos K.

Suppose that Sin(θ)=5/13 and cos(θ)=-12/13. Find the value of tan(θ), cot (θ), CSC (θ), and sec (θ). Find the value of tan(2θ)
horrorfan [7]

Answer:

Because θ lies in quadrant II, 2θ must lie in quadrant IV. This means the tangent of 2θ is negative.

The adjacent side to θ is 7 because √(25²-24²)=7, so tanθ=7/24.

The double angle formula for tangent is tan 2θ = (2 tan θ) / (1 − tan² θ).

Substituting the value for tanθ in and keeping in mind that this is in quadrant IV, we get tan 2θ = -(2(7/24)/(1-(7/24)²)).  

Simplified, this becomes tan 2θ = -336/527.  

Therefore, the answer is C. -336/527.

Nat2105 [25]

Answer:

The speed was 61\frac{miles}{hour}

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The speed is equal to divide the distance by the time

Let

s------> the speed in miles per hour

d ----> the distance in miles

t ----> is the time in hours

we know that

s=\frac{d}{t}

we have

d=305\ miles

t=5\ hours

substitute

s=\frac{305}{5}

s=61\frac{miles}{hour}
