Which ordered pair is a solution of the equation? − 7 x + 3 y = 2 −7x+3y=2

Viefleur [7K]

Answer:

Hello There. ☆~\---___`:•€`___---/~☆ The correct answer is C. Both (1,3) and (-2,-4).

To check whether (-2,-4) is a solution of the equation let's substitute x= -2 and y= -4 into the equation:

-7x+3y=2

-7*(-2)+3*(-4)=2

14-12=2

2=2

Do the same thing with (1,3)

-7x + 3y = 2

-7 * 1 + 3 * 3 = 2

-7 + 9 = 2

2 = 2.

Hope It Helps!~ ♡

Daniela and Jack are hiking a steady incline. They use their GPS device to determine their elevation every 15 minutes. At 15 min

kow [346]

Answer:

$h=40t+9700$

where the elevation, h, is in feet and time, t, is in minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

At the time, $t_1=15$ min, the elevation, $h_1= 10,300$ feet and

at the time $t_2= 30$ min, the elevation, $h_2=10,900$ feet.

As they are hiking a steady incline, so the change in the elevation with respect to time will be constant.

So, there will be a linear relationship between the elevation and the time.

Let $h$ be the elevation at any time instant $t$ , so the linear relation among these quantities is

$h=mt+C_0\;\cdots(i)$

where $m$ is the rate of change of elevation with respect to time and $C_0$ is constant.

The change in the elevation, $\Delta h=h_2-h_1= 10,900-10,300=600$ feet.

and the change in time, $\Delta t=t_2-1_1=30-15=15$ min.

So, change in the elevation in unit time,

$m=\frac{\Delat h}{\Delta t}=\frac{600}{15}=40$ feet/min.

Now, from equation (i)

$h=40t+C_0$

As the elevation, $h=h_1$ at time $t=t_1$ , so

$10,300=40\times15+C_0$

$\Rightarrow C_0=9700$

Hence, the required equation is

$h=40t+9700$

where the elevation, $h$ , is in feet and time, $t$ , is in minutes.

Find the measure of angle X in the triangle below.

Elan Coil [88]

Answer:

X = 89.92° or 90.08°

Step-by-step explanation:

The law of sines can be used to find the value of angle X:

sin(X)/26 = sin(67.38°)/24

sin(X) = (26/24)sin(67.38°) ≈ 0.99999901787

There are two values of X that have this sine:

X = arcsin(0.99999901787) ≈ 89.92°

X = 180° -arcsin(0.99999901787) ≈ 90.08°

There are two solutions: X = 89.92° or 90.08°.

<em>Comment on the problem</em>

We suspect that the angle is supposed to be considered to be 90°. However, the given angle is reported to 2 decimal places, so we figure the requested angle should also be reported to 2 decimal places.

The lengths of the short side that correspond to the above angles are 10.03 and 9.97 units. If the short side were considered to be 10 units, the triangle would be a right triangle, and the larger acute angle would be ...

arcsin(24/26) ≈ 67.38014° . . . . rounds to 67.38°

This points up the difficulty of trying to use the Law of Sines on a triangle that is actually a right triangle.
