Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

" $m\angle Y$ is six more then three times its supplement".

Three times refers to multiply by 3, and six more implies and addition.

Supplement indicates that the sum of those angles is 180°.

So, the problem can be expressed as

$m \angle Y=3(180-m\angle Y)+6$

Solving for angle Y, we have

$m \angle Y=540-3m\angle Y+6\\m \angle Y+3m \angle Y=546\\4m \angle Y=546\\m \angle Y=\frac{546}{4}=136.5$

And the supplement is

$180 - m\angle Y=180-136.5=43.5$

Therefore, the angle is 136.5°.

To answer this item, we let x be the measure of angle Y. If we say supplement, it is understood that when we sum up the measures of the two angles (angle Y and its supplement) the answer should be 180. Therefore the other angle is 180-x. Going back to the condition given in this item, we will be able to generate an equation,
x = 3(180 - x)
The value of x from the equation is 135. Thus, m∠Y is 135°.

What is 10% as a decimal?

DiKsa [7]

Hi there!

10% as a decimal is 0.1

To find the decimal of a percentage, just divide the percentage by 100.

10/100 = 1/10 = 0.1

I hope this helps!

Find a so that the point (-1, 2) is on the graph of f(x)=ax^2+5.

Gnesinka [82]

We are asked to determine the value of a such that the function f(x) = ax^2 + 5 is fit for the point given (-1,2). In this case, we substitute 2 to y and -1 to x. The result is then 2 = a*(-1)^2 + 5 ; 2 = a + 5; a is then equal to -3

1) The x-axis represents the energy ( $E$ ), in joules. The y-axis represents the amplitude ( $x$ ), in milimeters.

2) The curve depicts an <em>monotonous decrecent</em> rate of change.

3) The amplitude is directly proportional to the root square of the energy.

<h3>How to analyze a graph relationship between two variables</h3>

In this question we have a relationship between two variables, in which we must apply principles of <em>functional</em> analysis to respond three questions presented in the statement.

Now we proceed to answer the three questions below:

<em>What is on the x-axis? The y-axis?</em> R/ The x-axis represents the energy ( $E$ ), in joules. The y-axis represents the amplitude ( $x$ ), in milimeters.
<em>How would you describe the rate of change of the line?</em> R/ The curve depicts an <em>monotonous decrecent</em> rate of change, that is, the slope converges to zero when the energy tends to infinite.
<em>What does this tell you about the relationship between amplitude and energy?</em> R/ The curve show a strong similarity with a function of the form $x = A\cdot \sqrt{E}$ . Hence, the amplitude is directly proportional to the root square of the energy.
