Answer:

x = 3

Explanation:

The complete question is shown in the attached diagram

Collinear points are defined as points that lie on the same straight line

Since points U, T and V are given to be collinear, this means that these three points lie on the same straight line

Now, we are given that point U is between points T and V

This would mean that the length of segment TV can be written as the sum of the segments TU and UV

Therefore:

TV = TU + UV

We are given that:

TV = 14x - 8

TU = 9x + 2

UV = 5

Substitute with the givens in the above mentioned equation and solve for x as follows:

TV = TU + UV

14x - 8 = 9x + 2 + 5

14x - 8 = 9x + 7

14x - 9x = 7 + 8

5x = 15

x = 3

Hope this helps :)

How do I solve this .... question in the image. thank you

dezoksy [38]

Answer:

Below

Step-by-step explanation:

● x-20 = y+20 (1)

● 2(y-22) = x+22 (2)

This is a system of simulataneous equations

Let's simplify the expressions first

● x -20 = y + 20 (1)

Add 20 to both sides

● x -20 + 20 = y+20 +20

● x = y + 40 (1)

● 2(y-22) = x+22 (2)

● 2y - 44 = x +22

Substrat 22 from both sides

● 2y-44-22 = x+22-22

● 2y -66 = x (2)

This is the new system:

● x = y+40 (1)

● x = 2y-66 (2)

Substract (2) from (1)

● x-x = y+40-(2y-66)

● y+40-2y+66 = 0

● -y +106 = 0

● y = 106

Replace y with 106 in (1)

● x = y +40

● x = 106+40

● x = 146

So the solutions are (146,106)

What is the angular velocity of a 6–foot pendulum that takes 3 seconds to complete an arc of 14.13 feet? Use 3.14 for π

iren2701 [21]

1) Calculate the whole arc (complete circumference):

Circumference = 2π*radius

radius = 6 foot

=> Circumference = 2 * 3.14 * 6 foot = 37.68

2) Calculate the time to make a whole round, by making a proportion with the two ratios:

ratio 1 = x / 37.68 =

ratio 2 = 3 / 14.13

ratio 1 = ratio 2 =>

   x 3s
---------- =   -----------
37.68 ft    14.13 ft

=> x = 3 * 37.68 / 14.13 = 8 s

3) Calcuate the angular velocity as the 2π rad (which is the total angle of a circle) divided by the time.

So the angular velocity is 2π rad / 8 s = 2*3.14 foot / 8 s = 0.785 rad / s

Answer: 0.785 rad / s

What is the slope of the line represented by the equation y=2

skelet666 [1.2K]

Remember y=mx+b

Since y=2 that means it is a horizontal line at 2 on the y axis which means it does not have a slope. The slope would be zero.

Oil is pumped continuously from a well at a rate proportional to the amount of oil left in the well. Initially there were 3 mill

abruzzese [7]

Answer:

V' = -0.11552 *V\\= -0.11552(1.8)\\ \\=-0.20794 million per year

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that oil is pumped continuously from a well at a rate proportional to the amount of oil left in the well. Initially there were 3 million barrels of oil in the well; six years later 1,500,000 barrels remain.

i.e. if V stands for volume of oil, then

$V' =kV\\dv/V= kdt\\ln V = kt+C\\V = Ae^{kt}$
