A colony of bees have produced about 4 oz of honey. Some time later they have about 7oz of honey. If the bees produce at a rate

of 1.5% per hour, how many hours did it take?

It took 50 hours to produce 3 oz of honey.

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Rate of production= 1.5% per hour

Initial amount of honey = 4 oz

Final amount of honey = 7 oz

Honey produced = 3 oz

Amount produced = (initial amount x rate x time) /100

3 = (4 x 1.5 x t) /100

300 = 6t

t = 300/6

t = 50 hours

It took 50 hours for the bees to produce 3 oz of honey.

Which describes the first step in solving the equation 4x - 7 = -15?

GalinKa [24]

Answer:

Add 7 to both sides

Step-by-step explanation:

You would need to add 7 to both sides to cancel out the 7 on the right side of the equation to get x one step closer to being by itself.

Then you would get 4x = -8.

Next divide by 4 on both sides to get x by itself so do the inverse operation of what 4 was doing to x.

x = -2

The polar coordinates of a point are 3π 4 and 7.00 m. What are its Cartesian coordinates (in m)? (x, y) = 6.06,−3.5 m

Keith_Richards [23]

Answer:

a) $\left(x,y\right)=\left(4.95,-4.95\right)$

b) $r\angle\theta = 7\angle0.5236\,\text{radians}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Polar coordinates are represented as: $r\angle\theta$ , where 'r' is the length (or magnitude) of the line, and ' $\theta$ ' is the angle measured from the positive x-axis.

in our case:

$7\angle\dfrac{3\pi}{4}$

to covert the polar to cartesian:

$x = r\cos{\theta}$

$y = r\sin{\theta}$

we can plug in our values:

$x = 7\cos{\dfrac{3\pi}{4}} = -7\dfrac{\sqrt{2}}{2}$

$y = 7\sin{\dfrac{3\pi}{4}} = 7\dfrac{\sqrt{2}}{2}$

the Cartesian coordinates are:

$\left(x,y\right)=\left(-7\dfrac{\sqrt{2}}{2},7\dfrac{\sqrt{2}}{2}\right)$

$\left(x,y\right)=\left(4.95,-4.95\right)$

(b) to convert (x,y) = (6.06,-3.5)

we'll use the pythagoras theorem to find 'r'

$r^2 = x^2+y^2$

$r^2 = (6.06)^2+(-3.5)^2$

$r = \sqrt{48.97} \approx 7$

the angle can be found by:

$\tan{\theta} = \dfrac{y}{x}$

$\tan{\theta} = \dfrac{3.5}{6.06}$

$\theta = \arctan{left(\dfrac{3.5}{6.06}\right)}$

$\theta = 0.5236 \text{radians}$

to convert radians to degrees:

$\theta = 0.5236 \times \dfrac{180}{\pi} \approx 30^\circ$

writing in polar coordinates:

$r\angle\theta = 7\angle30^\circ\,\,\text{OR}\,\,7\angle0.5236\,\text{radians}$
