True or false: the value of theta represents the distance from a point to the origin when plotting a point in polar coordinates

2 answers:

False. The value of theta is the angle measured counterclockwise that the vector makes with respect to the positive x-axis.

Answer:

False

Step-by-step explanation:

In polar coordinates, a point on a plane is represented by P = (r, theta), where r is the radial coordinate and represents the distance from the point to the origin, and theta is the counterclockwise angle formed between the positive x-axis and the segment formed between P and the origin.

Draw at least six different sized rectangles that have an area of 64 square units

olga_2 [115]

Let

x------> the length of the rectangle

y------> the width of the rectangle

we know that

The area of a rectangle is equal to

$A=x*y$

$A=64\ units^{2}$

$x*y=64$ --------> equation 1

let's assume different values of x to get the different values of y

case 1) For x=64 units

substitute in the equation 1

$x*y=64$

$y=64/x$

$y=64/64$

$y=1\ units$

the dimensions of the rectangle are 64 units x 1 unit

see the draw in the attached figure N 1

case 2) For x=32 units

substitute in the equation 1

$x*y=64$

$y=64/x$

$y=64/32$

$y=2\ units$

the dimensions of the rectangle are 32 units x 2 units

see the draw in the attached figure N 2

case 3) For x=16 units

substitute in the equation 1

$x*y=64$

$y=64/x$

$y=64/16$

$y=4\ units$

the dimensions of the rectangle are 16 units x 4 units

see the draw in the attached figure N 3

case 4) For x=30 units

substitute in the equation 1

$x*y=64$

$y=64/x$

$y=64/30$

$y=\frac{32}{15} =2\frac{2}{15} \ units$

the dimensions of the rectangle are 30 units x 2 (2/15) units

see the draw in the attached figure N 4

case 5) For x=40 units

substitute in the equation 1

$x*y=64$

$y=64/x$

$y=64/40$

$y=1.60\ units$

the dimensions of the rectangle are 40 units x 1.60 units

see the draw in the attached figure N 5

case 6) For x=60 units

substitute in the equation 1

$x*y=64$

$y=64/x$

$y=64/60$

$y=\frac{16}{15} =1\frac{1}{15} \ units$

the dimensions of the rectangle are 60 units x 1 (1/15) units

see the draw in the attached figure N 6

What is the value of y in the sequence below? 2,y,18, -54,162,

snow_lady [41]

First, let's check if the sequence is geometric or arithmetric.

If arithmetric, the sequence will have common difference.

Arithmetric

$\displaystyle \large{a_{n + 1} - a_n = d}$

d stands for a common difference. Common Difference means that sequences must have same difference after subtracting.

Geometric

$\displaystyle \large{ \frac{a_{n + 1}}{a_n} = r}$

r stands for a common ratio.

To find the value of y, you can check the sequence. If we try subtracting the sequences, the differences are different. That means the sequences are not arithmetric. That only leaves the geometric sequence.

Let's check by dividing sequences.

We have:

2,y,18,-54,162,...

Let's check by divide -54 by 18 and 162 by -54. We need to divide more than one so we can prove that the sequence is geometric.

$\displaystyle \large{ \frac{ - 54}{18} = - 3 } \\ \displaystyle \large{ \frac{ 162}{ - 54} = - 3}$

Hence, the sequence is geometric.

Because the common ratio is -3. Let these be the following:

$\displaystyle \large{ a_{n + 1} = y } \\ \displaystyle \large{ a_n = 2 } \\ \displaystyle \large{ r = - 3 }$

From the:

$\displaystyle \large{ \frac{a_{n + 1}}{a_n} = r}$

Substitute the values in.

$\displaystyle \large{ \frac{y}{2} = - 3}$

Multiply the whole equation by 2 to isolate y.

$\displaystyle \large{ \frac{y}{2} \times 2 = - 3 \times 2} \\ \displaystyle \large{ y = - 6}$

Therefore, the value of y is -6.

A triangular prism has an equilateral base with side length x inches. The height of the prism is four times as long as the side

crimeas [40]

The area of the prism is 12x² inches². Thus, the correct option is B.

<h3>What is a triangular prism?</h3>

Suppose you've got a triangle. Now, stretch it up so as to make a stack of triangles up above another. This new 3d object is called a triangular prism.

Usually, when we talk about a triangular prism, we talk about the triangular prism, whose stack goes straight up, thus, we talk about a right triangular prism.

For a prism, the lateral sides of a prism are made up of rectangles which consist of the height and the length of the base. Therefore, a triangular prism has an equilateral base with a side length x inches. The height of the prism is four times as long as the side length. The lateral area will be,

Lateral Area = 3(x×4x) = 12x² inches²

Hence, the area of the prism is 12x² inches². Thus, the correct option is B.
