Write a the equation of a line perpendicular to the line y=-7 and goes through the point (-2,3)

Mathematics

Answer:

y = 3x + 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Convert the equation to slope intercept form to get y = –1/3x + 2.  The old slope is –1/3 and the new slope is 3.  Perpendicular slopes must be opposite reciprocals of each other:  m1 * m2 = –1

With the new slope, use the slope intercept form and the point to calculate the intercept: y = mx + b or 5 = 3(1) + b, so b = 2

So y = 3x + 2

Solve for X and round to the nearest hundredth
Archy [21]

Answer:

Pretty sure it's 20.24.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since you know the side adjacent to the reference angle and you want to find the side opposite, you're going to need to use tangent, which is opp/adj.

tan(39) = \frac{x}{25}

Find the tangent of 39...

0.8097 is the approximate value. So...

0.8097 = \frac{x}{25}

Now, switch the sides to make it easier.

\frac{x}{25} = 0.8097

Multiply both sides by 25.

x = 20.24

Based on the data given in the picture, calculate the area of the car track...
Verizon [17]

Refer to the diagram below. We need to find the areas of the green and blue regions, then subtract to get the area of the orange track only.

The larger green region is composed of a rectangle of dimensions 200 meters by 4+42+4 = 50 meters, along with two semicircles that combine to make a full circle. This circle has radius 25 meters.

The green rectangle has area 200*50 = 10000 square meters. The green semicircles combine to form an area of pi*r^2 = pi*25^2 = 625pi square meters. In total, the full green area is 10000+625pi square meters. I'm leaving things in terms of pi for now. The approximation will come later.

The blue area is the same story, but smaller dimensions. The blue rectangle has dimensions 200 meters by 42 meters, so its area is 200*42 = 8400 square meters. The blue semicircular pieces combine to a circle with area pi*r^2 = pi*21^2 = 441pi square meters. In total, the blue region has area 8400+441pi square meters.

After we figure out the green and blue areas, we subtract to get the orange region's area, which is the area of the track only.

orange area = (green) - (blue)

track area = (10000+625pi) - (8400+441pi)

track area = 10000+625pi - 8400-441pi

track area = (10000-8400) + (625pi - 441pi)

track area = 184pi + 1600 is the exact area in terms of pi

track area = 2178.05304826052 is the approximate area when you use the pi constant built into your calculator. If you use pi = 3.14 instead, then you'll get 2177.76 as the approximate answer. I think its better to use the more accurate version of pi. Of course, be sure to listen/follow your teachers instructions.

A student committee is to consist of 2 freshmen, 5 sophomores, 4 juniors, and 3 seniors. If 6 freshmen, 13 sophomores, 8 juniors
mezya [45]
<h3>Answer:  491,891,400</h3>

Delete the commas if necessary.

============================================================

Explanation:

There are 6 freshmen total and we want to pick 2 of them, where order doesn't matter. The reason it doesn't matter is because each seat on the committee is the same. No member outranks any other. If the positions were labeled "president", "vice president", "secretary", etc, then the order would matter.

Plug n = 6 and r = 2 into the nCr combination formula below

n C r = \frac{n!}{r!(n-r)!}\\\\6 C 2 = \frac{6!}{2!*(6-2)!}\\\\6 C 2 = \frac{6!}{2!*4!}\\\\6 C 2 = \frac{6*5*4!}{2!*4!}\\\\ 6 C 2 = \frac{6*5}{2!}\\\\ 6 C 2 = \frac{6*5}{2*1}\\\\ 6 C 2 = \frac{30}{2}\\\\ 6 C 2 = 15\\\\

This tells us there are 15 ways to pick the 2 freshmen from a pool of 6 total.

Repeat those steps for the other grade levels.

n = 13 sophomores, r = 5 selections leads to nCr = 13C5 = 1287. This is the number of ways to pick the sophomores.

You would follow the same type of steps shown above to get 1287. Let me know if you need to see these steps.

Similarly, 8C4 = 70 is the number of ways to pick the juniors.

Lastly, 14C3 = 364 is the number of ways to pick the seniors.

-----------------------------

To recap, we have...

  • 15 ways to pick the freshmen
  • 1287 ways to pick the sophomores
  • 70 ways to pick the juniors
  • 364 ways to pick the seniors

Multiply out those values to get to the final answer.

15*1287*70*364 = 491,891,400

This massive number is a little under 492 million.
