Answer: the quantity is 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the quantity.

A quantity and its 2/3 are added together. The 2/3 of the number is 2/3 × x = 2x/3

The sum of the quantity and its 2/3 would be

x + 2x/3 = (3x + 2x)/3 = 5x/3

From the sum, 1/3 of the sum is subtracted. 1/3 of the sum would be

1/3 × 5x/3 = 5x/9

Subtracting 1/3 of the sum from the sum, it becomes

5x/3 - 5x/9 = (15x - 5x)/9 = 10x/9

If the remainder is 10, it means that

10x/9 = 10

Crossmultiplying

10x = 9 × 10 = 90

x = 90/10

x = 9

Answer:

$14\frac{1}{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's write this out as an equation. Let the unknown quantity be x:

$x+\frac{2}{3} - \frac{1}{3} (x+\frac{2}{3}) = 10\\\\3x+2-x -\frac{2}{3} = 30\\\\9x+6-3x-2=90\\\\6x= 86\\\\x = \frac{86}{6} =\frac{43}{3} =14\frac{1}{3} \\$

1. The given rectangular equation is $x=2$ .

We substitute $x=r\cos \theta$ .

$r\cos \theta=2$

Divide through by $\cos \theta$

$r=\frac{2}{\cos \theta}$

$r=2}\sec \theta$

$\boxed{x=2\to r=2\sec \theta}$

2. The given rectangular equation is:

$x^2+y^2=36$

This is the same as:

$x^2+y^2=6^2$

We use the relation $r^2=x^2+y^2$

This implies that:

$r^2=6^2$

$\therefore r=6$

$\boxed{x^2+y^2=36\to r=6}$

3. The given rectangular equation is:

$x^2+y^2=2y$

This is the same as:

We use the relation $r^2=x^2+y^2$ and $y=r\sin \theta$

This implies that:

$r^2=2r\sin \theta$

Divide through by r

$r=2\sin \theta$

$\boxed{x^2+y^2=2y\to r=2\sin \theta}$

4. We have $x=\sqrt{3}y$

We substitute $y=r\sin \theta$ and $x=r\cos \theta$

$r\cos \theta=r\sin \theta\sqrt{3}$

This implies that;

$\tan \theta=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{3}$

$\theta=\frac{\pi}{6}$

$\boxed{x=\sqrt{3}y\to \theta=\frac{\pi}{6}}$

5. We have $x=y$

We substitute $y=r\sin \theta$ and $x=r\cos \theta$

$r\cos \theta=r\sin \theta$

This implies that;

$\tan \theta=1$

$\theta=\frac{\pi}{4}$

$\boxed{x=y\to \theta=\frac{\pi}{4}}$

Answer:

The function is linear

The function changes at a constant rate

Step-by-step explanation:

If this function were to be graphed, a line would be seen. It is not an increasing function because he is getting closer to home so the distance from his house is decreasing

Consider the statements below. Which are not propositions? Mark all that apply.

Troyanec [42]

Answer:

In Idaho, there are 15 temples for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

A delicious chocolate cake.

The great and spacious building.

3+5=8

5+3=53

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine which statement is a propositions or not first, we need to define the concept of preposition:

<em>A statement that can be either true or false.</em>

That means it should declare unequivocal information about something.

A question is not declaring something to be true or false. Therefore, it is not a proposition.

The recommendation of "should get" is not a direct statement.

No way! is not referring to anything to be either true or false.

Answer:

Permutation

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we are talking about passwords the order of the letters matters, i.e, the pasword UpT is different to the pasword pUT. Therefore, the problem involves all the permutations of 33 letters, from the given letters, where no repetitions of letters are allowed.
