To solve the the question we proceed as follows:
From trigonometric laws
(cos x)^2+(sin x)^2=1
(cos y)^2+(sin y)^2=1
sin (x-y)=sin x sin y-sin y cos x
cos (x-y)=cos x cos y+ sin x sin y
si x=8/17
cos x=sqrt(1-(sin x)^2)=sqrt(1-64/289)=sqrt(225/289)=15/17
cos y=3/5
sin x= sqrt(1- (cos x)^2)= sqrt(1-9/25)=sqrt(16/25)=4/5
thus
tan (x-y)=[sin (x-y)]/[cos (x-y)]
=[sin x cos y-sin y cos x]/[cos x cos y+sin x sin y]
plugging in the values we obtain:
[8/17 *3/5-4/5*15/7]/[15/17*3/5+8/17*4/5]
simplifying
[24/85-60/85]/[45/85+32/85]
=-36/77

Find the mass of the triangle with vertices (1; 0; 0), (0; 2; 0), (0; 1; 1) if the density function is given by (x; y; z)

Luda [366]

Answer:

$=\frac{17}{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Density of a function is $\rho(x,y)=x^{2} +y^{2}$

I have drawn the right angle triangle for visualization

equation for the line passing through (1,0) and (0,4) is

$\frac{y}{4} =\frac{x-1}{-1}$

$y=4-4x$

= $\int_{0}^1\int_{0}^{4-4x} (x^{2}+y^{2})dydx$

= $\int_{0}^{1}(x^{2}+\frac{y^{3} }{3})dx$

= $\int_{0}^{1}(x^{2}(4-4x)+\frac{1}{3}(4-4x)^{3} )dx$

= $\int_{0}^{1}(\frac{-76}{3}x^{3} +68x^{2}-64x^{}+\frac{64}{3} )dx$

= $=(\frac{-76}{3} \frac{x^{4} }{4})+\frac{68}{3}x^{3}-32x^{2}+\frac{64}{3}x^{})$

$=\frac{17}{3}$

You deposit $4300 in an account that earns 2% per year simple interest. The equation that represents this situation is: A(n) = 4

Likurg_2 [28]

Answer: $4902

Step-by-step explanation:

Amount = P (1 + rt)

= 4300 (1 + .02 * 7)

= 4300 (1 + .14)

= 4300 (1.14)

= 4902

a conical tank with vertex down is 10 feet across the top and 12 feet deep. If water is flowing out of the tank at a rate of 12

TiliK225 [7]

Answer:

The water level is dropping at a rate of 0.24 ft/s

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we simply want to calculate the change in depth (height of the cone) , given the volume change

Mathematically, we have the volume of a cone as;

V = 1/3 * π * r^2 * h

we are given dv/dt as 12 ft^3/m

dv/dh = 1/3 * π * r^2

Substituting the value for the radius, we have

dv/dh = 1/3 * 22/7 * 4^2 = 50.29

dh/dt = dh/dv * dv/dt

dh/dv = 1/(dv/dh) = 1/50.29

Thus,

dh/dt = 1/50.29 * 12

dh/dt = 0.24 ft/s
