Answer:

(1.5,-2.6)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the polar coordinates (-3,60°).

Let our Cartesian coordinates be (x,y)

#We know that when converting the rectangular coordinates (x,y) to polar (r,θ), then:

r=\sqrt{x^2+y^2}\\\\\therefore r^2=x^2+y^2\\\\\theta=tan^{-1}(y/x)\\\therefore tan \theta=y/x

#Using the illustration above, we can express our polar coordinates as:

-3=\sqrt{x^2+y^2}\\\\-60\textdegree=tan^{-1}(y/x}

#Solve simultaneously to solve for x and y:

(-3)^2=x^2+y^2\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ i\\\\tan(-0\texdegree)=y/x\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ ...ii\\\\y=x\ tan(-60\textdegree)\ \ \ \ \ \ \ ...iii\\\\\#substitute\  y \ in\  i\\\\(-3)^2=x^2+(x \ tan (-60\textdegree))^2\\\\9=x^2+3x^2\\\\x=\sqrt{9/4}=1.5\\\\y=1.5\ tan(-60\textdegree)=-2.5981\approx-2.6

Hence, the Cartesian coordinates are (1.5,-2.6)

Jackson recorded the growth of a plant over 10 weeks. The equation y=0.25+4 represents the height y in inches over time x in wee
Naya [18.7K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Allow me to rewrite your question and hope it will fit the original one:

<em>Jackson recorded the growth of a plant over 10 weeks. The equation </em><em>y=0.25x+4</em><em> represents the height y in inches over time x in weeks what does the y intercept represent In terms of the situation</em>

My answer:

As we know that y intercept is the value of y at the point where the line crosses the y axis (the value of x =0)

So in this situation, if x= 0, it means the height of the tree (y-intercept) initially be at 4 at week 0.

Hope it will find you well.

dimulka [17.4K]
23.44 / 20 = 1.172 rounds to 1.17 per lb <== this is cost per lb...this is telling u how much each lb of dog food costs

20 / 23.44 = 0.85....this is lbs per dollar....this is telling u that u r getting 0.85 lbs for a dollar
