Answer: Choice C
7 divided by cosec 50 degrees

=====================================

Explanation:

Abbreviations:
sec = secant
cot = cotangent
cosec = cosecant (csc is also a widely used abbreviation)

-----------------

Let the horizontal leg be x

This leg is opposite the angle 50 degrees. The hypotenuse is 7

Opposite = x
Hypotenuse = 7

We'll either use the sine rule or the cosecant (csc) rule
sine = opposite/hypotenuse
cosecant = hypotenuse/opposite

Since "sine" is nowhere to be found in the answer choices, we'll use the cosecant rule

-----------

cosecant = hypotenuse/opposite
csc(angle) = hypotenuse/opposite
csc(50) = 7/x
x*csc(50) = 7
x = 7/csc(50)

This is why the answer is choice C

What is the solution of the system of equations?
umka21 [38]

No solution of the system of equations y = -2x + 5 and -5y = 10x + 20 ⇒ 2nd answer

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us revise the types of solutions of a system of linear equations

  • One solution
  • No solution when the coefficients of x and y in the two equations are equal and the numerical terms are different
  • Infinitely many solutions when the coefficients of x , y and the numerical terms are equal in the two equations

∵ y = -2x + 5

- Add 2x to both sides

∴ 2x + y = 5 ⇒ (1)

∵ -5y = 10x + 20

- Subtract 10x from both sides

∴ -10x - 5y = 20

- Divide both sides by -5

∴ 2x + y = -4 ⇒ (2)

∵ The coefficient of x in equation (1) is 2

∵ The coefficient of x in equation (2) is 2

∴ The coefficients of x in the two equations are equal

∵ The coefficient of y in equation (1) is 1

∵ The coefficient of y in equation (2) is 1

∴ The coefficients of y in the two equations are equal

∵ The numerical term in equation (1) is 5

∵ The numerical term in equation (2) is -4

∴ The numerical terms are different

From the 2nd rule above

∴ No solution of the system of equations

No solution of the system of equations y = -2x + 5 and -5y = 10x + 20

gary mixes a solution using two types of concentration of sale: .70 gallons of 5% and .30 gallons of 22% salt. what is the conce
wolverine [178]

Answer:

10.1%

Step-by-step explanation:

The first thing we should do is calculate the total volume of the solution when mixing them would be:

0.7 + 0.3 = 1

Now, we have that the resulting concentration (x) would be equal to the sum of the multiplications between the volumes and the concentrations to be mixed, as follows:

x * 1 = 0.7 * 0.05 + 0.3 * 0.22

x = 0.035 + 0.066

x = 0.101

That is, the concentration of the resulting mixture would be 10.1% (0.101 * 100)

If a =6, what is the value of 2a(3b + 5c)?
leva [86]

Answer:

<h2>36b + 60c</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Put a = 6 to the expression 2a(3b + 5c):

(2)(6)(3b + 5c) = 12(3b + 5c)               <em>use the distributive property</em>

= (12)(3b) + (12)(5c) = 36b + 60c

A car's velocity changes at a rate of 36 miles per hour in 0.5 hour.
kotegsom [21]

Answer:

72

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the acceleration we need first to defined it, so:

acceleration=((final velocity)-(initial velocity))/time interval

a=(vf-vi)/dt

But (vf-vi) actually represents the velocity change, so (vf-vi)/dt represents the velocity change rate. This means that in our case:

a=(36miles/hour)/(0.5hours)

a=72miles/hour^2

In conclusion the acceleration is a=72miles/hour^2, without units just 72.
