The measure of angle A is 65°

Explanation:

Given that ABCD is a quadrilateral inscribed in a circle.

The measure of angle A is $\angle A=(2x+1)^{\circ}$

The measure of angle B is $\angle B=148^{\circ}$

The measure of angle D is $\angle D=x^{\circ}$

We need to determine the measure of angle A.

Since, we know that the angles B and D are opposite angles and the opposite angles of a quadrilateral add up to 180°

Thus, we have,

$\angle B+\angle D=180^{\circ}$

Substituting the values, we have,

$148^{\circ}+x=180^{\circ}$

$x=32^{\circ}$

Thus, the value of x is 32°

Substituting the value of x in the measure of angle A, we get,

$\angle A=(2x+1)^{\circ}$

$\angle A=(2(32)+1)^{\circ}$

$\angle A=(64+1)^{\circ}$

$\angle A=65^{\circ}$

Thus, the measure of angle A is 65°

Lines L and M are parallel lines cut by the transversals line t. which angle is congruent to angle 5

Stells [14]

Answer:

When two lines are cut by a transversal, the pairs of angles on one side of the transversal and inside the two lines are called the consecutive interior angles . If two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, then the pairs of consecutive interior angles formed are supplementary

Marine biologists have determined that when a shark detectsthe presence of blood in the water, it will swim in the directionin w

siniylev [52]

Solution :

a). The level curves of the function :

$C(x,y) = e^{-(x^2+2y^2)/10^4}$

are actually the curves

$e^{-(x^2+2y^2)/10^4}=k$

where k is a positive constant.

The equation is equivalent to

$x^2+2y^2=K$

$\Rightarrow \frac{x^2}{(\sqrt K)^2}+\frac{y^2}{(\sqrt {K/2})^2}=1, \text{ where}\ K = -10^4 \ln k$

which is a family of ellipses.

We sketch the level curves for K =1,2,3 and 4.

If the shark always swim in the direction of maximum increase of blood concentration, its direction at any point would coincide with the gradient vector.

Then we know the shark's path is perpendicular to the level curves it intersects.

b). We have :

$\triangledown C= \frac{\partial C}{\partial x}i+\frac{\partial C}{\partial y}j$

$\Rightarrow \triangledown C =-\frac{2}{10^4}e^{-(x^2+2y^2)/10^4}(xi+2yj),$ and

$\triangledown C$ points in the direction of most rapid increase in concentration, which means $\triangledown C$ is tangent to the most rapid increase curve.

$r(t)=x(t)i+y(t)j$ is a parametrization of the most $\text{rapid increase curve}$ , then

$\frac{dx}{dt}=\frac{dx}{dt}i+\frac{dy}{dt}j$ is a tangent to the curve.

So then we have that $\frac{dr}{dt}=\lambda \triangledown C$

$\Rightarrow \frac{dx}{dt}=-\frac{2\lambda x}{10^4}e^{-(x^2+2y^2)/10^4}, \frac{dy}{dt}=-\frac{4\lambda y}{10^4}e^{-(x^2+2y^2)/10^4}$

∴ $\frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{dy/dt}{dx/dt}=\frac{2y}{x}$

Using separation of variables,

$\frac{dy}{y}=2\frac{dx}{x}$

$\int\frac{dy}{y}=2\int \frac{dx}{x}$

$\ln y=2 \ln x$

⇒ y = kx^2 for some constant k

but we know that $y(x_0)=y_0$

$\Rightarrow kx_0^2=y_0$

$\Rightarrow k =\frac{y_0}{x_0^2}$

∴ The path of the shark will follow is along the parabola

$y=\frac{y_0}{x_0^2}x^2$

$y=y_0\left(\frac{x}{x_0}\right)^2$

Write an equation of the hyperbola given that the center is at (2, -3), the vertices are at (2, 3) and (2, - 9), and the foci ar

zavuch27 [327]

Check the picture below.

so, the hyperbola looks like so, clearly a = 6 from the traverse axis, and the "c" distance from the center to a focus has to be from -3±c, as aforementioned above, the tell-tale is that part, therefore, we can see that c = 2√(10).

because the hyperbola opens vertically, the fraction with the positive sign will be the one with the "y" in it, like you see it in the picture, so without further adieu,

$\bf \textit{hyperbolas, vertical traverse axis }
\\\\
\cfrac{(y- k)^2}{ a^2}-\cfrac{(x- h)^2}{ b^2}=1
\qquad 
\begin{cases}
center\ ( h, k)\\
vertices\ ( h, k\pm a)\\
c=\textit{distance from}\\
\qquad \textit{center to foci}\\
\qquad \sqrt{ a ^2 + b ^2}\\
asymptotes\quad y= k\pm \cfrac{a}{b}(x- h)
\end{cases}\\\\
-------------------------------$

$\bf \begin{cases}
h=2\\
k=-3\\
a=6\\
c=2\sqrt{10}
\end{cases}\implies \cfrac{[y- (-3)]^2}{ 6^2}-\cfrac{(x- 2)^2}{ b^2}=1
\\\\\\
\cfrac{(y+3)^2}{ 36}-\cfrac{(x- 2)^2}{ b^2}=1
\\\\\\
c^2=a^2+b^2\implies (2\sqrt{10})^2=6^2+b^2\implies 2^2(\sqrt{10})^2=36+b^2
\\\\\\
4(10)=36+b^2\implies 40=36+b^2\implies 4=b^2
\\\\\\
\sqrt{4}=b\implies 2=b\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\
\cfrac{(y+3)^2}{ 36}-\cfrac{(x- 2)^2}{ 2^2}=1\implies \cfrac{(y+3)^2}{ 36}-\cfrac{(x- 2)^2}{ 4}=1$
