Answer:

The value of θ is 20.105°

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

A force of F pounds is required to pull an object weighing W pounds up a ramp inclined at θ degrees from the horizontal.

Sine of angle is force over weight.

$\sin\theta=\frac{F}{W}$

Substitute F = 5500 pounds and W = 16,000 pounds in above formula.

$\sin\theta=\frac{5500}{16000}$

$\sin\theta=\frac{11}{32}$

$\theta\approx20.105$

Hence, the value of θ is 20.105°

Larissa argued that since log2(2) = 1 and log2(4) = 2, then it must be true that log2(3) = 1.5. Is she correct?

mestny [16]

Answer:

$2^{1.5} = 2.8284$ . This means that Larissa is not correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve logarithms, we have to consider the following:

$\log_{a}(b)$ = c means that $a^{c} = b$ .

So, for example:

$log_{2}(2) = 1$ because $2^{1} = 2$ .

$log_{2}(4) = 2$ because $2^{2} = 4$ .

If $2^{1.5} = 3$ , then Larissa is correct. However, $2^{1.5} = 2.8284$ . This means that Larissa is not correct.

A^2 + b^2 + c^2 = 2(a − b − c) − 3. (1) Calculate the value of 2a − 3b + 4c.

Verdich [7]

Answer:

$2a - 3b + 4c = 1$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$a^2 + b^2 + c^2 = 2(a - b - c) - 3$

Required

Determine $2a - 3b + 4c$

$a^2 + b^2 + c^2 = 2(a - b - c) - 3$

Open bracket

$a^2 + b^2 + c^2 = 2a - 2b - 2c - 3$

Equate the equation to 0

$a^2 + b^2 + c^2 - 2a + 2b + 2c + 3 = 0$

Express 3 as 1 + 1 + 1

$a^2 + b^2 + c^2 - 2a + 2b + 2c + 1 + 1 + 1 = 0$

Collect like terms

$a^2 - 2a + 1 + b^2 + 2b + 1 + c^2 + 2c + 1 = 0$

Group each terms

$(a^2 - 2a + 1) + (b^2 + 2b + 1) + (c^2 + 2c + 1) = 0$

Factorize (starting with the first bracket)

$(a^2 - a -a + 1) + (b^2 + 2b + 1) + (c^2 + 2c + 1) = 0$

$(a(a - 1) -1(a - 1)) + (b^2 + 2b + 1) + (c^2 + 2c + 1) = 0$

$((a - 1) (a - 1)) + (b^2 + 2b + 1) + (c^2 + 2c + 1) = 0$

$((a - 1)^2) + (b^2 + 2b + 1) + (c^2 + 2c + 1) = 0$

$((a - 1)^2) + (b^2 + b+b + 1) + (c^2 + 2c + 1) = 0$

$((a - 1)^2) + (b(b + 1)+1(b + 1)) + (c^2 + 2c + 1) = 0$

$((a - 1)^2) + ((b + 1)(b + 1)) + (c^2 + 2c + 1) = 0$

$((a - 1)^2) + ((b + 1)^2) + (c^2 + 2c + 1) = 0$

$((a - 1)^2) + ((b + 1)^2) + (c^2 + c+c + 1) = 0$

$((a - 1)^2) + ((b + 1)^2) + (c(c + 1)+1(c + 1)) = 0$

$((a - 1)^2) + ((b + 1)^2) + ((c + 1)(c + 1)) = 0$

$((a - 1)^2) + ((b + 1)^2) + ((c + 1)^2) = 0$

Express 0 as 0 + 0 + 0

$(a - 1)^2 + (b + 1)^2 + (c + 1)^2 = 0 + 0+ 0$

By comparison

$(a - 1)^2 = 0$

$(b + 1)^2 = 0$

$(c + 1)^2 = 0$

Solving for $(a - 1)^2 = 0$

Take square root of both sides

$a - 1 = 0$

Add 1 to both sides

$a - 1 + 1 = 0 + 1$

$a = 1$

Solving for $(b + 1)^2 = 0$

Take square root of both sides

$b + 1 = 0$

Subtract 1 from both sides

$b + 1 - 1 = 0 - 1$

$b = -1$

Solving for $(c + 1)^2 = 0$

Take square root of both sides

$c + 1 = 0$

Subtract 1 from both sides

$c + 1 - 1 = 0 - 1$

$c = -1$

Substitute the values of a, b and c in $2a - 3b + 4c$

$2a - 3b + 4c = 2(1) - 3(-1) + 4(-1)$

$2a - 3b + 4c = 2 +3 -4$

$2a - 3b + 4c = 1$
