Not sure why such an old question is showing up on my feed...
Anyway, let
and
. Then we want to find the exact value of
.
Use the angle difference identity:
and right away we find
. By the Pythagorean theorem, we also find
. (Actually, this could potentially be negative, but let's assume all angles are in the first quadrant for convenience.)
Meanwhile, if
, then (by Pythagorean theorem)
, so
. And from this,
.
So,
Answer:
y = - 10
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that y varies directly with x then the equation relating them is
y = kx ← k is the constant of variation
To find k use the condition y = 2 when x = - 4, that is
2 = - 4k ( divide both sides by - 4 )
= k, that is
k = -
y = - x ← equation of variation
When x = 20, then
y = - × 20 = - 10
5 and 96/100 or if you need to simplify 5 and 24/25
Answer:
it 5.5⋅10−^8m
Step-by-step explanation:
Unless I'm missing something important here, you can find the difference between the two wavelengths by subtracting one from the other. Since you're interested in finding how much longer the wavelength associated with the orange light is, subtract the wavelength of the green light from the wavelength of the orange light. You know that the two measured wavelengths are 6.15 ⋅ 10 − 7 m → orange light 5.6 ⋅ 10 − 7 m → green light Therefore, the difference between the two wavelengths will be Δ wavelength = 6.15 ⋅ 10 − 7 m − 5.6 ⋅ 10 − 7 m = 5.5 ⋅ 10 − 8 m
Answer:
What are you subtracting 25 from?
