Answer:

2.899

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for calculating the distance between two points P(x1, y1) and (x2, y2) is expressed as:

D = √(x2-x1)²+(y2-y1)²

Given the points (2,-2) and (1,x) and the distance between the point as 5, we are to get x. To get x we will substitute the points and the distance given into the formula.

Given x1 = 2, y1 = -2, x2 = 1, y2 = x and D = 5

On substitution:

5 = √(1-2)²+(x-(-2))²

5 = √1²+(x+2)²

5 = √1+(x+2)²

Square both sides of the equation

5² = (√1+(x+2)²)²

25 = 1+(x+2)²

(x+2)² = 25-1

(x+2)² = 24

Square both sides

√(x+2)² = √24

x+2 = √24

x = √24- 2

x = 4.899-2

x = 2.899

Hence the other value is 2.899

The price of a company's share dropped by 3.50% by the end of the first year, down to $44.25. During the second year the price o
omeli [17]

Answer:

a. $45.86

b. $43.87

c. Percentage change = -4.40%)

Step-by-step explanation:

a. Let the price of share at the beginning of first year be represented with X

Now, Price of company's share dropped by 3.50% at the end of first year.

So, Price of share at the end of first year = x - 3.5% of x

= x - 0.035x

= 1x - 0.035x

= 0.965x

But it is equal to $44.25

=> 0.965x = 44.25

x = 44.25 / 0.965  

x = 45.8549223

x = $45.86

b. During second year price of share decreased by $1.99. Therefore, Price of share at the end of second year = $45.86 - $1.99  = $43.87

c. Percentage change in the price of shares over two years = {(45.86 - 43.87)/45.86} *100

= (1.99/45.86)*100

= 0.04339294 * 100

= 4.40%

Now, as price of shares has dropped, the percentage change will be negative. (Δ% = -4.40%)

A circle with radius 3 has a sector with a central angle of 1/9 pi radians
marissa [1.9K]

Complete question:

A circle with radius 3 has a sector with a central angle of 1/9 pi radians

what is the area of the sector?

Answer:

The area of the sector = \frac{\pi}{2} square units

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the area of the sector of a circle, let's use the formula:

A = \frac{1}{2} r^2 \theta

Where, A = area

r = radius = 3

\theta = \frac{1}{9}\pi

Substituting values in the formula, we have:

A = \frac{1}{2}*3^2* \frac{1}{9}\pi

A = \frac{1}{2}*9* \frac{1}{9}\pi

A = 4.5 * \frac{1}{9}\pi

A = \frac{\pi}{2}

The area of the sector = \frac{\pi}{2} square units

What do you know to be true about the values of p and q?
artcher [175]

Answer:

p = q

Step-by-step explanation:

Angles in a triangle add up to 180°

For the left triangle:

180 = p + 20 + 80

p = 80

For the right triangle:

180 = q + 45 + 55

q = 80

Therefore, p = q
