Answer:

$97.18^{\circ}$

Step-by-step explanation:

An obtuse angle in the triangle is opposite to the greatest side. The greatest side in the triangle with sides lengths 2, 2 and 3 is side with length 3. By the cosine rule,

$3^2=2^2+2^2-2\cdot 2\cdot 2\cdot \cos \alpha,\\ \\9=4+4-8\cos \alpha,\\ \\-8\cos \alpha=9-4-4=1,\\ \\\cos \alpha=-\dfrac{1}{8},\\ \\\alpha\approx 97.18^{\circ}.$

Spending on wars is essentially categorized as government purchases. How do increases in spending on the war in Afghanistan affe

DanielleElmas [232]

With the spending on wars, the aggregate demand falls and the curve will shift towards the left because the production of other goods will reduce in the economy.

<u>Explanation:</u>

When the government of a country spends on the war or the making of the weapons for the war, then the overall working of the economy is affected because the production of goods and services reduces compared to the normal production of goods and services.

With the fall in the production of the goods and the services, the demand also reduces because the overall income of the economy falls. The resources are used to produce war weapons and not consumer goods thus leading to fall in employment, income and so on. Thus the demand curve will shift to the left.

Answer:

$y=\frac{1}{6} (x+5)^2-4.5$

$y=\frac{-1}{20} (x-10)^2+1$

Step-by-step explanation:

focus at (-5, -3), and directrix y = -6

Directrix y=-6 so its a vertical parabola

so equation is

(x-h)^2 = 4p(y-k)

(h,k) is the center

P is the distance between focus and vertex

distance between focus and directrix = 2p

distance between -3 and y=-6 is 3

2p = 3

p = 3/2 or p = 1.5

Focus is (h, k+p)

given focus is (-5, -3) so h= -5 and k+p = -3

k+p=-3, plug in 1.5 for p

k + 1.5 = -3

subtract 1.5 on both sides

k = -4.5

(x-h)^2 = 4p(y-k)

$(x+5)^2= 4(1.5) (y+4.5)$

$(x+5)^2= 6(y+4.5)$

divide by 6 on both sides

then subtract 4.5 on both sides

$y=\frac{1}{6} (x+5)^2-4.5$

focus at (10, -4), and directrix y = 6.

Directrix y=6 so its a vertical parabola

so equation is

(x-h)^2 = 4p(y-k)

distance between focus and directrix = 2p

distance between -4 and y=6 is -4-6=-10

2p = -10

p = -5

Focus is (h, k+p)

given focus is (10, -4) so h= 10 and k+p = -4

k+p=-4, plug in 5 for p

k - 5 = -4

add 5 on both sides

k = 1

(x-h)^2 = 4p(y-k)

$(x-10)^2= 4(-5) (y-1)$

$(x-10)^2= -20(y-1)$

divide by -20 on both sides and add 1 on both sides

$y=\frac{-1}{20} (x-10)^2+1$

1st. (2 root 2 + root 3 ) ( 2 root 3 - root 2)

satela [25.4K]

Answer:

1st: 3*root6 + 5

2nd: 35*root2 + 115

3rd: 24*root2 - 20*root6 + 15*root3 - 18

4th: 17*root6 - 38

5th: 13*root10 - 42

Step-by-step explanation:

To simplify these expressions we need to use the distributive property:

(a + b) * (c + d) = ac + ad + bc + bd

So simplifying each expression, we have:

1st.

(2 root 2 + root 3 ) ( 2 root 3 - root 2)

= 4*root6 - 2*2 + 2*3 - root6

= 3*root6 - 4 + 9

= 3*root6 + 5

2nd.

(root 5 + 2 root 10) (3 root 5 + root 10)

= 3 * 5 + root50 + 6*root50 + 2*10

= 15 + 5*root2 + 30*root2 + 100

= 35*root2 + 115

3rd.

(4 root 6 - 3 root 3) (2 root 3 - 5)

= 8*root18 - 20*root6 - 6*3 + 15root3

= 24*root2 - 20*root6 + 15*root3 - 18

4rd.

(6 root 3 - 5 root 2 ) (2 root 2 - root 3)

= 12*root6 - 6*3 - 10*2 + 5*root6

= 17*root6 - 18 - 20

= 17*root6 - 38

5th.

(root 10 - 3 ) ( 4 - 3 root 10)

= 4*root10 - 3*10 - 12 + 9*root10

= 13*root10 - 30 - 12

= 13*root10 - 42
