Answer:

-3

Step-by-step explanation:

The length of a segment is

sqrt( ( y2-y1)^2 + (x2-x1) ^2) = 2 sqrt(10)

sqrt( ( a-4 - -1)^2 + (2a -4) ^2) = 2 sqrt(10)

sqrt( ( a-4 +1)^2 + (2a -4) ^2) = 2 sqrt(10)

Combine like terms

sqrt( ( a-3)^2 + (2a -4) ^2) = 2 sqrt(10)

Square each side

( a-3)^2 + (2a -4) ^2) = 4 *(10)

FOIL the left side

a^2 -6a +9   + 4a^2 -16a +16 = 40

Combine like terms

5a^2 -22a +25 = 40

Subtract 40 from each side

5a^2 -22a -15 =0

Factor

(a - 5) (5 a + 3) = 0

Using the zero product property

a-5 =0   5a +3 = 0

a = 5       5a = -3

a=5     a = -3/5

The product of the terms is

5 * -3/5 = -3

The price of a pair of pants is $29.95 and the sales tax is 5%.
Vika [28.1K]

Answer: $31.45

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The price of a pair of pants is $29.95.

The sales tax is 5% = 0.05

Required formula :

Total cost = Price + sales tax percent × Price

Total cost= Price (1+Sales tax percent)

i.e. Total cost of the pair of pants= 29.95 (1+0.05) =29.95(1.05)=31.4475 ≈ 31.45

Hence, the total cost of the pair of pants = $31.45

Three houses are mapped on a coordinate grid.
Licemer1 [7]

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us consider the task to find the angle between vectors ES and EJ (the first letters are taken to name the vectors).

\overrightarrow{ES} = (4;4) - (4; -3) = \overrightarrow{(0; 7)}

ES

=(4;4)−(4;−3)=

(0;7)

​

\overrightarrow{EJ} = (-5; -4) - (4; -3) = \overrightarrow{(-9; -1)}

EJ

=(−5;−4)−(4;−3)=

(−9;−1)

​

cos \alpha=\frac{\overrightarrow{ES}*\overrightarrow{EJ}}{|\overrightarrow{EJ}|*|\overrightarrow{ES}|}cosα=

∣

EJ

∣∗∣

ES

∣

ES

∗

EJ

​

cos(a) = (0*(-9)+7*(-1)) / (7*9.055) = -0.11043;

a = 96,34°

Solution: 96 degrees.
