Answer: oop

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X = smaller number

Let Y = larger number

Sum of numbers is 130 ==> X + Y = 130 ==> Y = 130 - X

4 times the smaller subtracted from the larger is 10 ==>

Y - 4*X = 10

Substitute the value for Y in to the 2nd equation

(130 - X) - 4*X = 10

130 - 5*X = 10

-5*X = -120

X = 24

Y = 130 - 24 = 106

Check: 24 + 106 = 130

106 - 4*24 = 106 - 96 = 10

damaskus [11]

Given:

There are given that the two paths and one path are 2 miles from the road.

Explanation:

Suppose the distance from the playground to the road is x.

To find the value x, we need to use the cos function;

So,

From the cos function in the given right angle triangle:

$cos50^{\circ}=\frac{x}{2}$

Then,

$\begin{gathered} cos50^{\operatorname{\circ}}=\frac{x}{2} \\ 0.64=\frac{x}{2} \end{gathered}$

Then,

$\begin{gathered} 0.64=\frac{x}{2} \\ x=0.64\times2 \\ x=1.28 \\ x=1.3mi \end{gathered}$

Final answer:

Hence, the correct option C.

a cylinder-shaped water tank is 160 cm tall and measures 87.92 cm around. what is the volume if the water tank? enter your answe

Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer:

The volume is equal to $98,470.4\ cm^{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1

Find the radius of the base of cylinder

we know that

The circumference of a circle is equal to

$C=2\pi r$

we have

$C=87.92\ cm$

assume

$\pi =3.14$

substitute and solve for r

$87.92=2(3.14)r$

$r=87.92/[2(3.14)]=14\ cm$

step 2

Find the volume of the water tank (cylinder)

The volume is equal to

$V=\pi r^{2} h$

we have

$r=14\ cm$

$h=160\ cm$

assume

$\pi =3.14$

substitute

$V=(3.14)(14)^{2} (160)$

$V=98,470.4\ cm^{3}$

Which function has the graph shown?

balu736 [363]

Answer:

y = csc(x) -1

Step-by-step explanation:

The vertical offset of -1 is your first clue. Your second clue is that the range does not include (-2, 0), typical of cosecant and secant functions (offset by -1).

_____

<em>Comment on answer choices</em>

Apparently the cosine choices are intended to be confused with the cosecant choice. The cosine function has a range of [-1, 1], so will not show any vertical asymptotes anywhere, regardless of scaling or translation.
