Answer: 12th day

Step-by-step explanation:

Given , A florist orders sunflowers every 6 days and daisies every 4 days.

When it started from same day, then the next day she orders both kinds of flowers on the same day will be LCM (6,4), where LCM = Least Common Multiple.

Prime factorization:

6 = 2 x 3

4 = 2 x 2

LCM(6,4) = 2 x 2 x 3 = 12

Hence, she will order both kinds of flowers every 12 days.

Find the distance between the point (-2, -3) and the line with the equation y=4-2/3x

otez555 [7]

Answer:

$D = \frac{25\sqrt{13}}{13}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$y = 4 - \frac{2}{3}x$

$(x_1,y_1) = (-2,-3)$

Required

Determine the distance

$y = 4 - \frac{2}{3}x$

Write the above equation in standard form:

$Ax + By + C = 0$

So, we have:

$\frac{2}{3}x+y - 4 = 0$

By comparison:

$A = \frac{2}{3}$ $B = 1$ and $C = -4$

The distance is calculated using:

$D = \frac{|Ax_1 + By_1 + C|}{\sqrt{A^2 + B^2}}$

Where:

$(x_1,y_1) = (-2,-3)$

$A = \frac{2}{3}$ $B = 1$ and $C = -4$

This gives:

$D = \frac{|\frac{2}{3} * (-2) + 1 * (-3) - 4|}{\sqrt{(\frac{2}{3})^2 + 1^2}}$

$D = \frac{|-\frac{4}{3} -3 - 4|}{\sqrt{\frac{4}{9} + 1}}$

Take LCM

$D = \frac{|\frac{-4-9-12}{3}|}{\sqrt{\frac{4+9}{9}}}$

$D = \frac{|\frac{-25}{3}|}{\sqrt{\frac{13}{9}}}$

$D = |\frac{-25}{3}|/\sqrt{\frac{13}{9}}$

$D = \frac{25}{3}/\sqrt{\frac{13}{9}}$

Split the square root

$D = \frac{25}{3}/\frac{\sqrt{13}}{\sqrt{9}}$

Change / to *

$D = \frac{25}{3}*\frac{\sqrt{9}}{\sqrt{13}}$

$D = \frac{25}{3}*\frac{3}{\sqrt{13}}$

$D = \frac{25}{\sqrt{13}}$

Rationalize

$D = \frac{25}{\sqrt{13}} * \frac{\sqrt{13}}{\sqrt{13}}$

$D = \frac{25\sqrt{13}}{13}$

Hence, the distance is:

$D = \frac{25\sqrt{13}}{13}$

Intr un album numarul de fotografii s a micsorat cu 50%. Cu cat trebuie sa se mareasca pentru a reveni la numarul initial? Raspu

hodyreva [135]

Răspuns:

100%

Explicație pas cu pas:

Permiteți numărul inițial de fotografii = x

x - 50% din x = x - 0,5x = 0,5x

0,5x + câte% din 0,5x = x

x - 0,5x = y% de 0,5x

0,5x / 0,5x = 1

Prin urmare,

100% = 1

Prin urmare, x trebuie mărit cu 100% pentru a reveni la numărul original.

2 factors that add to 6 but multiply to 60

hodyreva [135]

Answer:

The short answer is there isn’t.

Start by writing each of these as an expression:

x * y = 60

x + y = 7

Next, solve each for the same variable; in this case, y:

(x * y) / x = 60 / x

.: y = 60 / x

(x + y) - x = 7 - x

.: y = 7 - x

Next, replace y of the second expression to the first

y = 60 / x & y = 7 - x

.: 7 - x = 60 / x

Now, solve for x:

(7 - x) * x = (60 / x) * x

.: x * 7 - x^2 = 60

This is quadratic, so write it in the form of ax2 + bx + x = 0

(-1)x^2 + (7)x + (-60) = 0

.: a = -1, b = 7, c = -60

Finally solve for b:

x = (-b +- sqrt(b^2 - 4*a*c)) / 2a

.: x = (-7 +- sqrt(7^2 - 4*-1*-60)) / (2 * -1)

.: x = (-7 +- sqrt(49 - 240)) / -2

.: x = (-7 +- sqrt(-191)) / -2

The square root of a negative value is imaginary and thus there’s no real answer to this problem.

Angle of the Sun A 96-ft tree casts a shadow that is 120 ft long. What is the angle of elevation of the sun

scoray [572]

Answer:

The angle of elevation of the sun is 39⁰

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

height of the tree, h = 96 ft

length of the shadow, L = 120 ft

|

| 96ft

|

|

θ------------------------------------

120ft

Completing this triangle to cut across the top of the tree gives you a right angled triangle with θ as the angle of elevation of the sun.

Apply trig-ratio to determine the angle of elevation of the sun;

tanθ = opposite side / adjacent side

tanθ = 96 / 120

tanθ = 0.8

θ = tan⁻¹(0.8)

θ = 38.7⁰

θ = 39⁰

Therefore, the angle of elevation of the sun is 39⁰
