Alexxx [7]3 years ago

Step-by-step explanation:

Draw the triangle formed by the ray.

The hypotenuse of the triangle is:

c² = a² + b²

c² = (-5)² + (2√7)²

c² = 25 + 28

c = √53

Therefore:

cos β = -5 / √53

Or, as a proper fraction:

cos β = -5√53 / 53

Which of the following is a non-linear equation?
Lana71 [14]

Answer:

iv ; xy + x/y = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

A non linear equation is one in which there is no product of two different variables or the same variable

What this mean is that we have the highest polynomial power as 1 or we simply have polynomials of degree 1

Looking at the given options, we can see the product xy

What this mean is that the polynomial is of degree 2 and that makes the equation a non linear as we have a polynomial of more than 1 degree

The radius of the cone is 5 in and y = 13 in. What is the volume of the cone in terms of π?
olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer:

The volume of the cone is;

100 π inches^3

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the volume, we need the height

We can get the height from the slant height and the radius

Mathematically, we use Pythagoras’ theorem for this as the slant height, the radius and the height forms a right-angled triangle

The right-angled triangle has the slant height as its hypotenuse

By the theorem, the square of the hypotenuse equals the sum of the squares of the two other sides

Let the height be h

Thus;

12^2 = 5^2 + h^2

169= 25 + h^2

h^2 = 169-25

h^2 = 144

h = √1144 inches = 12 inches

The volume of the cone is;

1/3 * π * r^2 * h

= 1/3 * π * 5^2 * 12

= 100 π inches^3

If total employee benefits are calculated as a percentage of their gross pay, which of the following employees receives the larg
vlabodo [156]

Consider all employees.

A.

  • gross pay $32,600 - 100%,
  • total job benefits $33,600 - x%.

Then

\dfrac{32,600}{33,600}=\dfrac{100}{x},\\ \\32,600\cdot x=33,600\cdot 100,\\ \\x=\dfrac{33,600\cdot 100}{32,600}=\dfrac{33,600}{326} \approx 103.07.

Employee A receives 3.07% of gross pay in employee benefits.

B.

  • gross pay $32,900 - 100%,
  • total job benefits $34,000 - x%.

Then

\dfrac{32,900}{34,000}=\dfrac{100}{x},\\ \\32,900\cdot x=34,000\cdot 100,\\ \\x=\dfrac{34,000\cdot 100}{32,900}=\dfrac{34,000}{329} \approx 103.34.

Employee B receives 3.34% of gross pay in employee benefits.

C.

  • gross pay $33,400 - 100%,
  • total job benefits $33,900 - x%.

Then

\dfrac{33,400}{33,900}=\dfrac{100}{x},\\ \\33,400\cdot x=33,900\cdot 100,\\ \\x=\dfrac{33,900\cdot 100}{33,400}=\dfrac{33,900}{334} \approx 101.50.

Employee C receives 1.50% of gross pay in employee benefits.

D.

  • gross pay $33,700 - 100%,
  • total job benefits $34,700 - x%.

Then

\dfrac{33,700}{34,700}=\dfrac{100}{x},\\ \\33,700\cdot x=34,700\cdot 100,\\ \\x=\dfrac{34,700\cdot 100}{33,700}=\dfrac{34,700}{337} \approx 102.97.

Employee D receives 2.97% of gross pay in employee benefits.

Answer: correct choice is B.

the maximum load of elevator is 480 pounds. Assuming that the average mass of student is 45 pounds, and m represents the number
yaroslaw [1]
We can use the equation 45m < 481

we can replace m to see where it caps.

and the cap is 10.

we can replace m to check our work

45(10) < 481

450 < 481

if you add another student, it would go over the limit.

hope this helps :D
