Answer:

  C.  (8.5, 14.72)

Step-by-step explanation:

You can translate the coordinates using ...

  (x, y) = (r·cos(θ), r·sin(θ))

Filling in the given polar coordinates, (r, θ) = (17, 60°), we have ...

  (x, y) = (17·cos(60°), 17·sin(60°)

  (x, y) = (8.5, 14.72)

__

If you sketch the vector, you realize that the short side of the triangle (the x-coordinate) is half the length of the hypotenuse (17). This is because you recognize the side-length relationships in a 30°-60°-90° triangle. Only one answer choice shows that value.

Yes, she is correct
1/2 + 1/2 = 1 or 0.5 + 0.5 = 1 so half of a wall plus half of a wall equals one hole wall.

That's as simple as I can put it mathematical reasoning. I hope this helps

−5.5x + 0.46 = −3.94
aliina [53]

Answer:

x= 0.78 (rounded to the hundredth)

Step-by-step explanation:

-5.5x + 0.46 = -3.94

You need to isolate x so the easiest thing to do is subtract 0.46 and move it to the other side of the equal sign.

-5.5x= -3.84 - 0.46

-5.5x = -4.3

divide -5.5 to get x alone

x= -4.3/-5.5

x= 0.78
