Answer:

8 : 24 P.M

Step-by-step explanation:

Data provided in the question:

On December 1 bright star Procyon will just be rising on the eastern horizon at 10 P.M

Now,

we know that Stars rise 4 minutes earlier each night

Therefore,

24 days later i.e after 24 nights the total early time

= 24 days × 4 minutes per day

= 96 minutes

or

= 1 hour 36 minutes early

Hence,

on Christmas Day the star will rise at 1 hour 36 minutes early than 10 P.M

= 8 : 24 P.M

Find the values of x and y using trig
Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The triangle is a right angle triangle. This is because one of its angles is 90 degrees.

Let us determine x

Taking 47 degrees as the reference angle,

x = adjacent side

11 = hypotenuse

Applying trigonometric ratio,

Cos # = adjacent side / hypotenuse

# = 47 degrees

Cos 47 = x/11

x = 11cos47

x = 11 × 0.6820

x = 7.502

Let us determine y

Taking 47 degrees as the reference angle,

y = opposite side

11 = hypotenuse

Applying trigonometric ratio,

Sin # = opposite side / hypotenuse

# = 47 degrees

Sin 47 = y/11

x = 11Sin47

x = 11 × 0.7314

x = 8.0454

Write an equation of the line that is perpendicular to y=1/2x-3 and goes through the point (1,3)
Alex_Xolod [135]

Answer:

y = -2x + 5

Step-by-step explanation:

y=\frac{1}{2}x-3

Slope of this line m₁ = 1/2

Slope of the line perpendicular to this line = m₂

m₁ *m₂ = -1

m₂ = -1 *2/1 = -2

Slope  = -2; (1,3)

y- y₁ = m(x-x₁)

y - 3 = -2(x - 1)

y - 3 = -2x + 2

y = -2x +2 +3

y = -2x + 5

Factor 2a2b3 - 14ab + 16a
zhuklara [117]

Answer:

2a(b^3 - 7b + 8)

Step-by-step explanation:

I'm assuming that 2a2b3 is 2a2b^2. If not, this answer isn't correct.

Look at the whole numbers. Is there a number that divides into them evenly? Yes, 2, so you pull 2 from the problem and divide each number by 2. Do the same for each variable.

2a2b3 - 14ab + 16a

2(ab^3 - 7ab +8a)

2a(b^3 - 7b + 8)

Help me with this question
kaheart [24]
First combine like terms and put the expression in standard form. This expression is now in simplest form and cannot be simplified anymore.
3a + 10ab - 7a^2b - 10ab^2 + 12ab - (-4) + (-a^2b) - 5a
-10ab^2 - 8a^2b -2a + 24ab - (-4)

Hope this helps
