The question describes a right triangle with hypotenuse as 9 and one of the angles as 75 degrees. We are looking for the length of the leg adjacent the given angle 75 degrees.

Recall that:

\cos{\theta}=\cfrac{adj}{hyp}\\ \\ \Rightarrow\cos75^o=\cfrac{x}{9}\\ \\ \Rightarrow x=9\cos75^o=9(0.2588)=2.3 ft.

What is the equation of a line, in point-slope form, that passes through (-4, -1) and has a slope of (5, 7)
bearhunter [10]

It is y+1=0.9(x+4) because the formula is y - y1=m(x + x1) you only need one point and the slope. If you have two points, you need to find the slope by using the slope formula slope=y2-y1/x2-x1. Filling it in it would look like slope=7-(-1)/5-(-4). The double negatives cancel each other out and it turns to addition signs leaving us with slope=7+1/5+4 so the slope is 8/9 or 0.9. Now you can fill out the point-slope formula y+1=0.9(x+4)

Randomly assigned group. the art class isn't random and only consists of a select type of people--it is not a representative sample; maybe more left handed people enjoy art than do right handed people! therefore, even though the randomly assigned group is smaller, it is the better estimate.

A grocery sold 5kg of wheat flour at Rs30 per kg and gained 20%. If he had sold it at Rs27 per kg, what would be his gain or los
maria [59]

Answer:

His gain percent would have been 8%

Step-by-step explanation:

The key to answering this question is to first calculate the price at which the wheat flour was bought.

Mathematically;

% profit = (selling price-cost price)/cost price * 100%

Let the cost price be $x

Thus;

% profit = (30-x)/x * 100

20 = 100(30-x)/x

20x = 3000-100x

100x + 20x = 3000

120x = 3000

x = 3000/120

x = Rs 25

So let’s assume he sold at Rs 27

His profit would have been 27-25 = 2

His gain or loss percentage would’ve been;

2/25 * 100/1 = 200/25 = 8% (gain, since selling price is greater than the cost price)
