Explanation:

It is the same reason that the distance by road is not the same as the distance "as the crow flies." The two vectors are often not aligned so that the magnitudes both add to directly to the distance from the origin (or the tail of the first vector).

For example, suppose you walk two segments of 1 mile each. If you walk east in both cases, you end up 2 miles east of where you started. (The sum of the vectors is the sum of their magnitudes.)

If you walk east 1 mile and north 1 mile, you end up about 1.4 miles from where you started, not 2 miles. The second "vector" did not add directly to the distance from your starting point.

If you walk east 1 mile, then west 1 mile, you end up exactly where you started. The sum of the vectors is zero, but the sum of their magnitudes is still 2 miles.

Please solve the equation (15m + 3)/2 = -6
stiv31 [10]

Answer:

m = - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

\frac{15m+3}{2} = - 6

Multiply both sides by 2 to clear the fraction

15m + 3 = - 12 ( subtract 3 from both sides )

15m = - 15 ( divide both sides by 15 )

m = - 1

Answer: a) BC = 1386.8 ft

b) CD = 565.8 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Looking at the triangle,

AD = BD + 7600

BD = AD - 7600

Considering triangle BCD, we would apply the the tangent trigonometric ratio.

Tan θ = opposite side/adjacent side. Therefore,

Tan 24 = CD/BD = CD/(AD - 700)

0.445 = CD/(AD - 700)

CD = 0.445(AD - 700)

CD = 0.445AD - 311.5 - - - - - - - -1

Considering triangle ADC,

Tan 16 = CD/AD

CD = ADtan16 = 0.287AD

Substituting CD = 0.287AD into equation 1, it becomes

CD = 0.445AD - 311.5

0.287AD = 0.445AD - 311.5

0.445AD - 0.287AD = 311.5

0.158AD = 311.5

AD = 311.5/0.158

AD = 1971.52

CD = 0.287AD = 0.287 × 1971.52

CD = 565.8 ft

To determine BC, we would apply the Sine trigonometric ratio which is expressed as

Sin θ = opposite side/hypotenuse

Sin 24 = CD/BC

BC = CD/Sin24 = 565.8/0.408

BC = 1386.8 ft

I bought a car of 650,000 and<br>sold it for 520,000. Find the<br>lost Percent ?<br>​
Tom [10]

Answer:

20% decrease in value.

Step-by-step explanation:

Do 650,000 divided by 100 to find what 1% of the original price is:

650,000 divided by 100 = 6,500

To find what percentage of the original price 520,000 is, we divide it by 1% of the original cost (6,500):

520,000 divided by 6,500 = 80 (percent)

So if 520,000 is 80% of 650,000 the car has decreased in value by 20%.
