The unit rate is 0.25 kilograms per year.

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets define unit rate first

Unit rate is the change in quantity per unit time.

Given

Weight = w = 5 kg

Time = t = 20 years

So,

$Unit\ rate = \frac{weight}{time}\\=\frac{w}{t}\\= \frac{5}{20}\\= 0.25$

Hence,

The unit rate is 0.25 kilograms per year.

Answer: 120

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the order of the numbers doesn't matter we can use the formula:

$\dfrac{n!}{r!(n-r)!}\quad \text{where n is the quantity of items and r is the quantity chosen}\\\\\text{In this problem, there are 10 numbers (n = 10) and 7 to be chosen (r = 7)}\\\\_{10}C_{7}=\dfrac{10!}{7!(10-7)!}\\\\.\qquad=\dfrac{10!}{7!3!}\\\\.\qquad=\dfrac{10\times 9\times 8\times 7!}{7!\times 3\times 2\times 1}\\\\.\qquad=10\times 3\times 4\\\\.\qquad=120$

How many solutions does a triangle with side lengths a = 4, A = 112º and b = 9 have?

Ainat [17]

Answer:

This case has NO solutions.

Step-by-step explanation:

Notice that you are in a case of an obtuse triangle (one of its angles is larger than 90 degrees), the side opposite to the obtuse triangle is shorter than the side adjacent to the angle, so no actual triangle can be formed.

This can be found by simply trying to apply the Law of Sines to solve for the value of angle "B" opposite to side "b":

$\frac{sin(A)}{a} =\frac{sin(B)}{b}\\sin(B)=\frac{b\,sin(A)}{a}\\sin(B)=\frac{9\,sin(112^o)}{4}\\\\sin(B)=2.086$

As shown above, we get an impossible mathematical condition (also call an absurd), since the sine of an angle cannot give a value larger than 1 (one).

Therefore, there is no angle we can find to build a triangle with the given data.
