Answer:
a = 18.15
Step-by-step explanation:
Combine like terms on the left side of the equation first. Add 7 and 42, then subtract 32 from the answer you get, then subtract 32 from that answer. This is going by order of PEMDAS.
Remember PEMDAS: (numbers 3 & 4 and numbers 5 & 6 are solved from left to right)
- Parentheses
- Exponents
- Multiplication
- Division
- Addition
- Subtraction
After combining like terms on the left side, you get -15. Now combine like terms on the right side of the equation by adding 14.3 and 7.
Get -2a alone by subtracting 21.3 from both sides.
Divide both sides by -2.
In this equation, a should equal 
.
Answer:
C) As the amount of snow increases, the number of accidents increases.
Step-by-step explanation:
An image showing the scatter plot is attached.
From the attached imaged, the scatter plot is a straight line which goes up along the X - Y axis.
X = snowfall
Y = accident
Since the scatter plot is going up increasingly for any value plotted; it means as the amount of snow increases, the number of accidents increases. That is, as X (snowfall) increases Y (accident) increases also.
Answer:
positive
Step-by-step explanation:
it is positive
Step-by-step explanation:
let number be x
16x = 14 + x
16x - x = 14
15x = 14
x = 14 ÷ 15
x = 0.9
5. Given the equation y = (1/4) cos[(2pi/3)*theta]:
5a. For the general equation y = a cos(bx), the period is given by 2pi/b. In this equation, b = 2pi/3, so this means that 2pi/b = 2pi/(2pi/3) = 3. Therefore, the period of this equation is 3, and the cosine wave repeats itself every 3 x-units.
5b. For the general equation y = a cos(bx), the amplitude is given by a. Therefore the amplitude is a = 1/4, and this means that the cosine wave's range is from -1/4 to 1/4 for all values of x.
5c. The equation of the midline is y = 0. This represents the average value over the wave. This is determined by adding the highest and lowest values of the range and taking the average, in this case, 1/4 + (-1/4) = 0, and 0 / 2 = 0. Another way to do this is using the general equation y = a cos(bx) + c, where the midline's equation is y = c. In this case, there is no value of c in the given, implying that c = 0, and the midline is y = 0.
6. Let the horizontal distance be x. Then tan42 = h/x, and h = x tan42. Then using the Pythagorean theorem: 3280^2 = h^2 + x^2
3280^2 = x^2 (tan42)^2 + x^2
3280^2 = x^2 [(tan42)^2 + 1]
x = 2437.52
Therefore, h = x tan42 = 2,194.75 ft.
