<u>Answer: </u>

Six less than three times a number is the same as five more than twice the number .The required number is 11

<u>Solution: </u>

Given that six less than three times a number is the same as five more than twice the number

Let’s assume the number is x.

Three times a number is 3 $\times$ x = 3x

So six less than three times a number = 3x - 6

Twice the number = 2x

Five more than twice the number = 2x + 5

As six less than three times a number = Five more than twice the number

3x – 6 = 2x + 5

3x -2x = 5 + 6

x = 11

Hence the required number is 11

Captain Ralph is in trouble near the sunny side of Mercury. The temperature of the ship's hull when he is at location (x, y, z)

iren2701 [21]

The maximum rate of change occurs in the direction of the gradient vector at (1, 1, 1).

$T(x,y,z)=e^{-x^2-2y^2-3z^2}\implies\nabla T(x,y,z)=\langle-2x,-4y,-6z\rangle e^{-x^2-2y^2-3z^2}$

At (1, 1, 1), this has a value of

$\nabla T(1,1,1)=\langle-2,-4,-6\rangle e^{-6}$

so the captain should move in the direction of the vector $\langle-1, -2, -3\rangle$ (which is a vector pointing in the same direction but scaled down by a factor of $2e^{-6}$ ).

In triangle abc, the sides are ac=bc=8 inches and ab=4. find the angles

Virty [35]

Answer:

$m\angle A=m\angle B=75.5^{\circ},\\ \\m\angle C=29^{\circ}$

Step-by-step explanation:

In triangle ABC the sides AC=BC=8 in and AB=4 in.

Use the cosine rule:

$AB^2=AC^2+BC^2-2\cdot AC\cdot BC\cdot \cos \angle C,\\ \\4^2=8^2+8^2-2\cdot 8\cdot 8\cdot \cos \angle C,\\ \\16=64+64-128\cos \angle C,\\ \\16-64-64=-128\cos \angle C,\\ \\\cos \angle C=\dfrac{112}{128}=\dfrac{7}{8},\\ \\m\angle C\approx 29^{\circ}.$
