Answer:

<em> The numbers are 6, 18, and 30 </em>

Step-by-step explanation:

If the three numbers are in the ratio of 3:9:10,

let the numbers be 3x, 9x and 10x.

<em>If 10 is added to the last number to form an arithmetic progression</em>

<em>Then, 3x 9x (10x+10) are the progression</em>

The common difference of an arithmetic progression (d) = T₂ - T₁ = T₃ - T₂

T₂-T₁ = T₃ - T₂ .............. Equation 1

Where T₁ = first term of the progression, T₂ = Second term of the progression, T₃ = third term of the progression

<em>Given: T₁ = 3x, T₂ = 9x, T₃ = 10x +10</em>

<em>Substituting these values into equation 1</em>

<em>9x-3x = (10x+10)-9x</em>

<em>Solving the equation above,</em>

<em>3x = 10+x</em>

<em>3x-x = 10</em>

<em>2x = 10</em>

<em>x = 10/2</em>

<em>x = 2.</em>

<em>Therefore the numbers are 6, 18, and 30 </em>

The manager of a bookstore ordered 480 copies of a book. The manager paid a total of $7,440 for the books. The books arrived at
alexdok [17]

<span>There are lots of given in this certain item and we are to note that other given are just there to distract us. In order to answer the question, what we really need from the given is that there are 480 copies of books and they arrived in 5 cartons. To determine the number of books in each carton, we just have to divide 480 by 5 which gives us an answer of 96. </span>

How to find the θ in this equation: tan(θ+16°)=1/tan(θ+60°) by using the trigonometric identities?thanks
DedPeter [7]

Answer:

\huge \theta  =7°

Step-by-step explanation:

tan( \theta + 16 \degree) =  \frac{1}{tan( \theta + 60 \degree) }  \\ tan( \theta + 16 \degree) =cot( \theta + 60 \degree) \\ tan( \theta + 16 \degree) = tan \{90 \degree - (\theta + 60\degree) \} \\ \theta + 16 \degree = 90 \degree - \theta  -  60\degree \\ \theta +\theta  = 30 \degree - 16\degree \\2 \theta  = 14 \degree  \\ \theta  =  \frac{14 \degree}{2}   \\   \huge \red{ \boxed{\theta  =7 \degree}}

Y is inversely proportional to the square of x.
Mkey [24]

Step-by-step explanation:

x²y = k, where k is a real constant.

When x = 3.5, y = 8.

=> (3.5)²(8) = k, k = 98.

When y = 8/9,

we have x²(8/9) = (98).

=> x² = 110.25

=> x = 10.5 or x = -10.5.

Since we want the negative value,

the answer is x = -10.5.

A road is inclined at an angle of 6°. After driving 5,440 feet
Natalija [7]
<h3>Answer:  B)  569 feet</h3>

========================================================

Work Shown:

sin(angle) = opposite/hypotenuse

sin(6) = a/5440

5440*sin(6) = a

a = 5440*sin(6)

a = 568.634840176034

a = 569 feet, which shows why <u>choice B</u> is the answer.

This value is approximate. Make sure your calculator is in degree mode. One way to check is to compute sin(30) and you should get 0.5

side note: 569 feet is roughly equal to 0.1078 miles.
