The scientist can use only the angle x and the distance y to calculate the distance between the Earth and the Sun using the cosine function.

cos x = BC / y

Solving for BC

BC = y cos x

BC is the distance between the Earth and the Sun :D

HELP!!!!
m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:

(0,0)

Step-by-step explanation:

The coordinates of C now are (-7,-5).

Moving C -3 on the x-axis will move -7 - 3 = -10. C is now located on (-10,-5).

Moving C +5 on the y-axis will move -5 + 5 = 0. C is now located on (-10,0).

Moving C on the y-axis +10 will move -10 + 10 = 0. C is now located on (0,0).

C is translated to (0,0).

For the differential equations dydx=sqrt(y^2−36) does the existence/uniqueness theorem guarantee that there is a solution to thi
julsineya [31]

Answer:

1. (-4,6) there is no a solution to the equation through this point

2. (2,−6) there is no a solution to the equation through this point

3. (−5,39) there is a solution to the equation through this point

4. (−1,45)  there is a solution to the equation through this point

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the existence and uniqueness theorem:

Let:

F(x,y)=\sqrt{y^2-36} \\\\and\\\\\frac{\partial F}{\partial y} =\frac{y}{\sqrt{y^2-36} }

Now, let's find the domain of F(x,y), due to the square root:

y^2-36 \geq 0\\\\y^2\geq 36\\\\y \geq 6\hspace{12}or\hspace{12}y\leq-6

So the domain of the function is:

y \in R\hspace{12}y\geq6\hspace{12}or\hspace{12}y\leq-6

Now, due to the fraction \frac{\partial F}{\partial y} the denominator must be also different from 0, so:

y^2-36\neq0\\\\y \neq \pm6

So, the theorem  tells us that for each y_0\in R:\hspace{12}y_0>6\hspace{12}or\hspace{12}y_0 there exists a  unique solution defined in an open interval around x_0.

1. (-4,6)  there is no a solution to the equation through this point because y_0=6

2. (2,−6)  there is no a solution to the equation through this point because

y_0=-6

3. (−5,39) there is a solution to the equation through this point because

y_0>6

4. (−1,45)  there is a solution to the equation through this point because

y_0>6

10. Are the points A (3, 5), B (0, 2), and C (-2.10) the vertices of a right triangle? Justify your
Sauron [17]

Answer:

yes

Step-by-step explanation:

line ab^2=(3-0)^2+(5-2)^2=9+9=18

line bc^2=((0-(-2))^2+(2-10)^2=4+64=68

line ca^2=((-2)-3)^2+(10-5)^2=25+25=50

bc>CA>ab

if it's a right triangle, then bc^2=ab^2+ca^2

68=50+18

so, it's a right triangle

rjkz [21]

Answer:

area = 10 units ^2

Step-by-step explanation:

rectangular area = 2x2 = 4

left side triangle area = 2x2x0.5 = 2

right side triangle area = 4x2x0.5 = 4

4+2+4 = 10
