Answer:

x = 77, x = -77

Step-by-step explanation:

|x| – 17 = 60

Add 17 to each side

|x| – 17+17 = 60+17

|x| = 77

The absolute value equation has two solutions, one positive and one negative

x = 77, x = -77

Write the vector v in the form aiplusbj, given its magnitude left norm Bold v right norm and the angle alpha it makes with the

photoshop1234 [79]

Answer:

$6\sqrt{3}i-6j$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The magnitude, v=12

The angle $\alpha$ it makes with the positive x-axis = $150^0$

Now for a vector (x,y)

$\alpha =tan^{-1}(\frac{y}{x} )$ ; and

$v=\sqrt{x^2+y^2}$

Therefore:

$150 =tan^{-1}(\frac{y}{x} )\\\frac{y}{x} =tan 150\\\frac{y}{x}=-\frac{\sqrt{3} }{3}$

$y=-\frac{x \sqrt{3}}{3}$

Similarly:

$v=\sqrt{x^2+y^2}\\12=\sqrt{x^2+y^2}\\12^2=x^2+y^2\\144=x^2+y^2$

$144=x^2+(-\frac{x \sqrt{3}}{3} )^2\\144=x^2+\frac{3x^2}{9} \\144=\frac{4x^2}{3}\\4x^2=144 X 3=432\\x^2=108\\x=6\sqrt{3}$

Recall that:

$y=-\frac{x \sqrt{3}}{3}\\y=-\frac{6\sqrt{3} \sqrt{3}}{3}=-6$

Therefore: $(x,y)=(6\sqrt{3}, -6)$

The vector in the form ai+bj is therefore:

$6\sqrt{3}i-6j$

Andy is one fourth as old as his grandfather who is 76 years old write an equation to determine whether Andy is 19 or 22 years o

iren [92.7K]

76÷4= ; x=19, you divide 76 by 4 because if he is 1/4 then it would be a group of one of the 4's, thus saying ehen you divide 76 by 4, it equals 19, so he is 19 years old, you could also do 19×4 and 22×4 to see which equals 76.

Is y = 0.5x - 1 a liner function

Mama L [17]

$\text{Yes, it is a linear function}\\\\\text{The reason why it's a linear function is because there is a constant change}\\\\\text{The constant change would be your slope, and the slope in this case}\\\text{is 0.5}\\\\\text{If you plug this equation in a graph, it would be a straight line forever}\\\\\text{If you want to know if a line is linear, just check the slope to see if it's}\\\text{constant.}$
