<h3>Answers:</h3><h3>x = 12</h3><h3>Angle B = 45 degrees</h3>

===========================================================

Explanation:

Angles A and B are alternate exterior angles.

Due to the parallel lines, alternate exterior angles are congruent

A = B

5x-15 = 2x+21

5x-2x = 21+15

3x = 36

x = 36/3

x = 12

Use this x value to find the measure of angle B

angle B = 2x+21

angle B = 2*12+21

angle B = 24+21

angle B = 45 degrees

As a check,

angle A = 5x-15

angle A = 5*12+15

angle A = 60-15

angle A = 45 degrees

Since A and B are both 45 degrees, this confirms the correct x value

Find Slope and Y-intercept

Ksenya-84 [330]

Answer:

slope = -5/1

y-intercept = (0, -34)

Step-by-step explanation:

slope m = change in y ÷ change in x

= (-9 - -4) ÷ (-5 - -6)

= -5 ÷ 1

= -5/1

y = mx + b ⇒ y = -5x + b

substitute one of the points

-4 = (-5 x -6) + b

-4 = 30 + b

b = -34

Therefore, y-intercept = (0, -34)

Write the vector v in the form aiplusbj, given its magnitude left norm Bold v right norm and the angle alpha it makes with the

photoshop1234 [79]

Answer:

$6\sqrt{3}i-6j$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The magnitude, v=12

The angle $\alpha$ it makes with the positive x-axis = $150^0$

Now for a vector (x,y)

$\alpha =tan^{-1}(\frac{y}{x} )$ ; and

$v=\sqrt{x^2+y^2}$

Therefore:

$150 =tan^{-1}(\frac{y}{x} )\\\frac{y}{x} =tan 150\\\frac{y}{x}=-\frac{\sqrt{3} }{3}$

$y=-\frac{x \sqrt{3}}{3}$

Similarly:

$v=\sqrt{x^2+y^2}\\12=\sqrt{x^2+y^2}\\12^2=x^2+y^2\\144=x^2+y^2$

$144=x^2+(-\frac{x \sqrt{3}}{3} )^2\\144=x^2+\frac{3x^2}{9} \\144=\frac{4x^2}{3}\\4x^2=144 X 3=432\\x^2=108\\x=6\sqrt{3}$

Recall that:

$y=-\frac{x \sqrt{3}}{3}\\y=-\frac{6\sqrt{3} \sqrt{3}}{3}=-6$

Therefore: $(x,y)=(6\sqrt{3}, -6)$

The vector in the form ai+bj is therefore:

$6\sqrt{3}i-6j$

Can the exponent in the denominator be subtracted from the exponent in the numerator when the based are different? Explain

erastova [34]

Answer:

If the higher power is in the denominator, put the difference in the denominator and vice versa, this will help avoid negative exponents and a repeat of step 3. Step 6: Raise each coefficient (or number) to the appropriate power and then simplify or reduce any remaining fractions. Step 1: Apply the Zero-Exponent Rule.
