1.875

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1 :

Given,

In ΔOPQ,

∠Q=90°,

PO = 17, QP = 8 OQ = 15

Step 2:

We know that the hypotenuse will be the largest side of a triangle.

So in the given triangle PO = 17 is the hypotenuse.

With respect to angle P, OQ represents the opposite side of angle P and PQ will be the adjacent side.

Also the tangent of any angle in a triangle can be determined by dividing the opposite side of the angle by the adjacent side.

Step 3 :

So using the above we have,

tangent of angle P = opposite side /adjacent side = 15/8 = 1.875

3x+y=115x-y=21 Directions: Solve each system of equations by elimination. Clearly identify your solution.

olchik [2.2K]

To solve, we will follow the steps below:

3x+y=11 --------------------------(1)

5x-y=21 ------------------------------(2)

since y have the same coefficient, we can eliminate it directly by adding equation (1) and (2)

adding equation (1) and (2) will result;

8x =32

divide both-side of the equation by 8

x = 4

We move on to eliminate x and then solve for y

To eliminate x, we have to make sure the coefficient of the two equations are the same.

We can achieve this by multiplying through equation (1) by 5 and equation (2) by 3

The result will be;

15x + 5y = 55 ----------------------------(3)

15x - 3y =63 --------------------------------(4)

subtract equation (4) from equation(3)

8y = -8

divide both-side of the equation by 8

y = -1

How do you do inverse operation on a fraction ( y/3 ) = -6

NemiM [27]

$\frac{-1}{18}$

Solution:

Given expression is $\frac{y}{3}=-6$

To find the inverse of y.

⇒ $\frac{y}{3}=-6$

Do cross multiplication.

⇒ y = –6 × 3

⇒ y = –18

Inverse of y means reverse the function.

We know that inverse of y is $\frac{1}{y}$ .

⇒ $\frac{1}{y}= \frac{-1}{18}$

Hence, inverse of y is $\frac{-1}{18}.$

Consider the surface f (x comma y comma z )f(x,y,z)equals=negative 2 x squared plus 2 y squared minus 3 z squared plus 3 equals

trapecia [35]

Answer:

a) (8,8,-6)

b) 4x+4y+3z = -3

Step-by-step explanation:

The surface is given by the equation

f(x,y,z) = 0 where

$f(x,y,z)=-2x^2+2y^2-3z^2+3$

The gradient of this function is the vector

$(\frac{\partial f}{\partial x},\frac{\partial f}{\partial y},\frac{\partial f}{\partial z})=(-4x,4y,-6z)$

If we evaluate it in the point P = (-2,2,1) we obtain the point

(8,8,-6)

The vectors with their tails at P are of the form

(-2,2,1)-(x,y,z) = (-2-x, 2-y, 1-z)

as they must be orthogonal to the gradient, they must be orthogonal to the vector (8,8,6) so their inner product is 0

$(-2-x,2-y,1-z)\cdot(8,8,6)=0\Rightarrow -16-8x+16-8y+6-6z=0\Rightarrow 4x+4y+3z=-3$

and the equation of the desired plane is

4x+4y+3z = -3
