Answer:

The equation for the relationship between the weight and number of months is W(t)= 5.5t+79.5

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

A linear equation in slope intercept form is equal to

y=mx+b

where

m is the slope

b is the y-coordinate of the y-intercept (value of y when the value of x is equal to zero)

or say b is the actual weight of the wrestler.

In this problem

m=5.5 kg/month

Let

W ⇒ the sumo wrestler's weight in kg (dependent variable)

t ⇒ the time in months (independent variable)

The linear equation is equal to

W(t)=5.5t+b

where

b is the actual weight when he started the diet.

Now Given

W = 140 kg

t = 11 months

substitute in the linear equation to find the value of b

140 = 5.5\times11 +b\\140 = 60.5+b\\b = 140-60.5\\b = 79.5\ kg

W(t)= 5.5t+79.5

Hence,The equation for the relationship between the weight and number of months is W(t)= 5.5t+79.5

I can't figure out how to do (i + j) x (i x j)for vector calc
Vinil7 [7]

In three dimensions, the cross product of two vectors is defined as shown below

\begin{gathered} \vec{A}=a_1\hat{i}+a_2\hat{j}+a_3\hat{k} \\ \vec{B}=b_1\hat{i}+b_2\hat{j}+b_3\hat{k} \\ \Rightarrow\vec{A}\times\vec{B}=\det (\begin{bmatrix}{\hat{i}} & {\hat{j}} & {\hat{k}} \\ {a_1} & {a_2} & {a_3} \\ {b_1} & {b_2} & {b_3}\end{bmatrix}) \end{gathered}

Then, solving the determinant

\Rightarrow\vec{A}\times\vec{B}=(a_2b_3-b_2a_3)\hat{i}+(b_1a_3+a_1b_3)\hat{j}+(a_1b_2-b_1a_2)\hat{k}

In our case,

\begin{gathered} (\hat{i}+\hat{j})=1\hat{i}+1\hat{j}+0\hat{k} \\ \text{and} \\ (\hat{i}\times\hat{j})=(1,0,0)\times(0,1,0)=(0)\hat{i}+(0)\hat{j}+(1-0)\hat{k}=\hat{k} \\ \Rightarrow(\hat{i}\times\hat{j})=\hat{k} \end{gathered}

Where we used the formula for AxB to calculate ixj.

Finally,

\begin{gathered} (\hat{i}+\hat{j})\times(\hat{i}\times\hat{j})=(1,1,0)\times(0,0,1) \\ =(1\cdot1-0\cdot0)\hat{i}+(0\cdot0-1\cdot1)\hat{j}+(1\cdot0-0\cdot1)\hat{k} \\ \Rightarrow(\hat{i}+\hat{j})\times(\hat{i}\times\hat{j})=1\hat{i}-1\hat{j} \\ \Rightarrow(\hat{i}+\hat{j})\times(\hat{i}\times\hat{j})=\hat{i}-\hat{j} \end{gathered}

Thus, (i+j)x(ixj)=i-j

What is the value of y?<br><br><br><br> Enter your answer in the box.<br><br> y =
Olenka [21]

Answer:

y=40\°

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

An isosceles triangle has two equal sides and two equal angles

The two equal angles are called the base angles and the third angle is called the vertex angle

In this problem the triangle ABC is an isosceles  triangle

so

AB=AC

5x=40\°

x=8\°

The sum of the internal angles of a triangle is equal to 180\°

so

Find the value of y

(2y+20)\°+2(40\°)=180\°

2y=180\°-20\°-80\°

2y=80\°

y=40\°
