Cindy plans to shop for her school supplies and wants to know how much money she would need to spend. from her friend she knows

that buying 4 notebooks and 3 binders would cost $23.5, and 7 notebooks and 6 binders would cost $44.5. Cindy plans to buy 5 notebooks and 2 binders. How much would that cost?

Let the cost of 1 notebook be x and the cost of 1 binder be y.

4 notebooks and 3 binders would cost 23.5

Therefore, 4x + 3y = 23.5 (1)

7 notebooks and 6 binders would cost 44.5

Therefore, 7x + 6y = 44.5 (2)

Multiply the first equation by 2.

8x + 6y = 47 (3)

(3) - (2) gives

x = 2.5

Substitute the value of x in (1), we get,

4(2.5) + 3y = 23.5

10 + 3y = 23.5

3y = 23.5 - 10

3y = 13.5

y = 13.5/3

y = 4.5

Hence, cost of 5 notebooks and 3 binders is:

5x + 3y = 5(2.5) + 3(4.5)

= 12.5 + 13.5

= 26

Hence, cost of 5 notebooks and 3 binders is $26.

The measure of an angle is 6°. What is the measure of its complementary angle?

stealth61 [152]

Answer:

84 degrees.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, let's define what a complementary angle is. It's when two angles add up to 90 degrees. So we do 90-6=84 and 84+6 does in fact equal 90, so they are complementary.

The square with side length 2 cm is dilated by a scale factor of 7/3 is the dilated image larger or smaller than the original im

qwelly [4]

Length of square side= 2 cm
Dilation factor= 7/3
Simplify 7/3= 2.33
Apply the dilation factor:
Length of side= 2.33 x 2 = 4.67 cm
As the length of the side of the square is increased in length, which means the dilated image is larger than the original image.

Answer: Larger than then original.

Let and be differentiable vector fields and let a and b be arbitrary real constants. Verify the following identities.

elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

The given identities are verified by using operations of the del operator such as divergence and curl of the given vectors.

<h3>What are the divergence and curl of a vector field?</h3>

The del operator is used for finding the divergence and the curl of a vector field.

The del operator is given by

$\nabla=\^i\frac{\partial}{\partial x}+\^j \frac{\partial}{\partial y}+\^k\frac{\partial}{\partial z}$

Consider a vector field $F=x\^i+y\^j+z\^k$

Then the divergence of the vector F is,

div F = $\nabla.F$ = $(\^i\frac{\partial}{\partial x}+\^j \frac{\partial}{\partial y}+\^k\frac{\partial}{\partial z}).(x\^i+y\^j+z\^k)$

and the curl of the vector F is,

curl F = $\nabla\times F$ = $\^i(\frac{\partial Fz}{\partial y}- \frac{\partial Fy}{\partial z})+\^j(\frac{\partial Fx}{\partial z}-\frac{\partial Fz}{\partial x})+\^k(\frac{\partial Fy}{\partial x}-\frac{\partial Fx}{\partial y})$

<h3>Calculation:</h3>

The given vector fields are:

$F1 = M\^i + N\^j + P\^k$ and $F2 = Q\^i + R\^j + S\^k$

1) Verifying the identity: $\nabla.(aF1+bF2)=a\nabla.F1+b\nabla.F2$

Consider L.H.S

⇒ $\nabla.(aF1+bF2)$

⇒ $\nabla.(a(M\^i + N\^j + P\^k) + b(Q\^i + R\^j + S\^k))$

⇒ $\nabla.((aM+bQ)\^i+(aN+bR)\^j+(aP+bS)\^k)$

⇒ $(\^i\frac{\partial}{\partial x}+\^j \frac{\partial}{\partial y}+\^k\frac{\partial}{\partial z}).((aM+bQ)\^i+(aN+bR)\^j+(aP+bS)\^k)$

Applying the dot product between these two vectors,

⇒ $\frac{\partial (aM+bQ)}{\partial x}+ \frac{\partial (aN+bR)}{\partial y}+\frac{\partial (aP+bS)}{\partial z}$ ...(1)

Consider R.H.S

⇒ $a\nabla.F1+b\nabla.F2$

So,

$\nabla.F1=(\^i\frac{\partial}{\partial x}+\^j \frac{\partial}{\partial y}+\^k\frac{\partial}{\partial z}).(M\^i + N\^j + P\^k)$

⇒ $\nabla.F1=\frac{\partial M}{\partial x}+\frac{\partial N}{\partial y}+\frac{\partial P}{\partial z}$

$\nabla.F2=(\^i\frac{\partial}{\partial x}+\^j \frac{\partial}{\partial y}+\^k\frac{\partial}{\partial z}).(Q\^i + R\^j + S\^k)$

⇒ $\nabla.F1=\frac{\partial Q}{\partial x}+\frac{\partial R}{\partial y}+\frac{\partial S}{\partial z}$

Then,

$a\nabla.F1+b\nabla.F2=a(\frac{\partial M}{\partial x}+\frac{\partial N}{\partial y}+\frac{\partial P}{\partial z})+b(\frac{\partial Q}{\partial x}+\frac{\partial R}{\partial y}+\frac{\partial S}{\partial z})$

⇒ $\frac{\partial (aM+bQ)}{\partial x}+ \frac{\partial (aN+bR)}{\partial y}+\frac{\partial (aP+bS)}{\partial z}$ ...(2)

From (1) and (2),

$\nabla.(aF1+bF2)=a\nabla.F1+b\nabla.F2$

2) Verifying the identity: $\nabla\times(aF1+bF2)=a\nabla\times F1+b\nabla\times F2$

Consider L.H.S

⇒ $\nabla\times(aF1+bF2)$

⇒ $(\^i\frac{\partial}{\partial x}+\^j \frac{\partial}{\partial y}+\^k\frac{\partial}{\partial z})\times(a(M\^i+N\^j+P\^k)+b(Q\^i+R\^j+S\^k))$

⇒ $(\^i\frac{\partial}{\partial x}+\^j \frac{\partial}{\partial y}+\^k\frac{\partial}{\partial z})\times ((aM+bQ)\^i+(aN+bR)\^j+(aP+bS)\^k)$

Applying the cross product,

$\^i(\^k\frac{\partial (aP+bS)}{\partial y}- \^j\frac{\partial (aN+bR)}{\partial z})+\^j(\^i\frac{\partial (aM+bQ)}{\partial z}-\^k\frac{\partial (aP+bS)}{\partial x})+\^k(\^j\frac{\partial (aN+bR)}{\partial x}-\^i\frac{\partial (aM+bQ)}{\partial y})$ ...(3)

Consider R.H.S,

⇒ $a\nabla\times F1+b\nabla\times F2$

So,

$a\nabla\times F1=a(\nabla\times (M\^i+N\^j+P\^k))$

⇒ $\^i(\frac{\partial aP\^k}{\partial y}- \frac{\partial aN\^j}{\partial z})+\^j(\frac{\partial aM\^i}{\partial z}-\frac{\partial aP\^k}{\partial x})+\^k(\frac{\partial aN\^j}{\partial x}-\frac{\partial aM\^i}{\partial y})$

$a\nabla\times F2=b(\nabla\times (Q\^i+R\^j+S\^k))$

⇒ $\^i(\frac{\partial bS\^k}{\partial y}- \frac{\partial bR\^j}{\partial z})+\^j(\frac{\partial bQ\^i}{\partial z}-\frac{\partial bS\^k}{\partial x})+\^k(\frac{\partial bR\^j}{\partial x}-\frac{\partial bQ\^i}{\partial y})$

Then,

$a\nabla\times F1+b\nabla\times F2$ =

$\^i(\^k\frac{\partial (aP+bS)}{\partial y}- \^j\frac{\partial (aN+bR)}{\partial z})+\^j(\^i\frac{\partial (aM+bQ)}{\partial z}-\^k\frac{\partial (aP+bS)}{\partial x})+\^k(\^j\frac{\partial (aN+bR)}{\partial x}-\^i\frac{\partial (aM+bQ)}{\partial y})$

...(4)

Thus, from (3) and (4),

$\nabla\times(aF1+bF2)=a\nabla\times F1+b\nabla\times F2$
