Answer:

In the year 2000 the number of hazardous waste sites in state y was 21

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ----> the number of hazardous waste sites in state x in the year 2000

y ----> the number of hazardous waste sites in state y in the year 2000

we know that

x=2y-8 ----> equation A

x=34 ----> equation B

Solve the system of equations by substitution

Substitute equation B in equation A

34=2y-8

Solve for y

Adds 8 both sides

34+8=2y

42=2y

Divide by 2 both sides

y=21

therefore

In the year 2000 the number of hazardous waste sites in state y was 21

Kyra has a rock collection. When she puts her rocks into 2 equal plies, there are no rocks left over. When she puts her rocks in
Nat2105 [25]

Step-by-step explanation:

According to this description we need a number that can be divided by 2,3 and 4 since the amount of rocks can be described by a natural number. However if a number is divided by 4 it is divided by 2 as well since 2*2=4.

\frac{x}{4}  =  \alpha  \\  \frac{x}{2}  = 2 \alpha

If α is a natural number then 2*α is a natural number as well as the product of two natural numbers.

Which means that we need a number devided by 3 and 4.

The smallest number that fulfills this demand is 3*4=12.

Also any product of 12 with any natural number can be devided by 3, 4 and 2.

If the exercise asks for the numbers that are divided only by 2,3 and 4 these are:

{3}^{ \alpha }  \times 12 \: and \:  {4}^{ \alpha }  \times 12 \:  \\ where \:  \alpha  \: belongs \: to \: the \: set \: of \: all \: \\ natural \: numbers

5. When I sine an angle like 60°, it gives me a value like 0.866025403. What does this number represent?
PolarNik [594]

Answer:

See below

Step-by-step explanation:

The number you described is the same as sin(60^{\circ})=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} where the sine of an angle is the ratio between a right triangle's opposite side to the angle and the hypotenuse. So, in this case, if we had a right triangle with a height of \sqrt{3} units and a hypotenuse of 2 units, the ratio between the two sides will result in the value you provided. This right triangle in particular would be a 30-60-90 triangle.

In the case of a unit circle, it’s the y-coordinate of the point where a 60° angle in the standard position intersects a unit circle and a right triangle is created from that.
