Hey! So first you'd convert the 5% to a decimal. Which would be 0.05. Then, multiply the original cost (170) by the decimal (0.05). You would get 8.5. Subtract that number from the original cost and you get $161.50 as the final answer.

Answer:

Not a function

Step-by-step explanation:

If you use the line/ pencil test ***I think that's what it's called...

you put a pencil flat on the graph and if it touches more than one point, it is not a function. This only works with some graphs.But it works with this one.

A discuss moves from P1 (4,8) to P2 (15,17). What is the lincar displacement in the horizontal and vertical directions? What is
Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:

The horizontal displacement is 11 units, the vertical displacement is 9 units, and the projection angle is 39.3 degrees.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can start using the definition of displacement in one dimension between any 2 points which is the difference between them, so we have

\Delta s = s_2-s_1

And apply it to get the horizontal and vertical displacements.

Once we have found them, we can use trigonometric functions to find the projection angle with respect the horizontal.

Linear displacements.

Using the definition of displacement, we can write the horizontal displacement as

\Delta x = x_2-x_1

So we can use the given points P1:(x_1,y_2)  \text{  and  } P_2: (x_2,y_2) on the displacement formula

\Delta x = 15-4\\\Delta x = 11

In the same manner we can look at the y components of those points to find the vertical displacement

\Delta y = 17-8\\\Delta y =9

Thus the horizontal displacement is 11 units and the vertical displacement is 9 units.

Projection angle.

The projection angle with respect the horizontal is the angle that is made between the line that connects the points P1 and P2 and the horizontal, so we can use the linear displacements previously found to write

\tan(\theta) = \cfrac{\Delta y}{\Delta x}

Solving for the angle we get

\theta = \tan^{-1}\left(\cfrac{\Delta y}{\Delta x}\right)

Replacing values

\theta = \tan^{-1}\left(\cfrac{9}{11}\right)

Which give us

\theta = 39.3^\circ

So the projection angle is 39.3 degrees.

Are is the Triangle SWT and triangle SVU similar? What would be the answer?
kondaur [170]

Answer:

A) Yes the 2 triangles are similar by SSS Similarity and SAS Similarity

Step-by-step explanation:

SSS:

ST/SU = SW/SV = WT/VU

60/70 = 48/56 = 30/35

6/7 = 6/7 = 6/7

SAS:

ST/SU = SW/SV = 6/7 (look at SSS proving)

Angle S = Angle S because they are reflexive or the same angles
