Round 1,658.013 too the nearest hundred

When a number is increased by 2.8%, the result is 56. What is the original number to

Sever21 [200]

Answer:

The original number was 54.5.

Step-by-step explanation:

If a number is increased by 2.8%, then it is 102.8% of it's original number.

In mathematics, "of" in virtually all cases means "multiplied by".

Therefore, we do the opposite:

1. Convert to a decimal.

102.8% = 1.028

2. Divide by the decimal.

$56 \div 1.028 = 54.47$

3. Round it to the nearest tenth.

54.47 rounds to 54.5.

A unit vector lies in the xy plane, at an angle of 137 degrees from the x axis, with a positive y component. What is the unit ve

Fed [463]

Answer: ( -0.731, 0.682)

Step-by-step explanation:

The unit vector is defined as a vector that points in the same direction as our vector (137 degrees from the x-axis) and has a magnitude of 1.

Knowing the angle, is really simple to do it.

First, we know that for a radius R and an angle A, the rectangular coordinates can be written as:

x = R*cos(A)

y = R*sin(A)

And if we want that the magnitude/modulus of our vector to be 1, then R = 1, and we know that A = 137°

x = 1*cos(137°) = -0.731

y = 1*sin(137°) = 0.682

Then the unit vector is: ( -0.731, 0.682)

Answer:

$\displaystyle \begin{cases} \displaystyle {x} _{1} = - p \\ \displaystyle x _{2} = - q \end{cases}$

Step-by-step explanation:

we would like to solve the following equation for x:

$\displaystyle \frac{1}{p} + \frac{1}{q} + \frac{1}{x} = \frac{1}{p + q + x}$

to do so isolate $\frac{1}{x}$ to right hand side and change its sign which yields:

$\displaystyle \frac{1}{p} + \frac{1}{q} = \frac{1}{p + q + x} - \frac{1}{x}$

simplify Substraction:

$\displaystyle \frac{1}{p} + \frac{1}{q} = \frac{x - (q + p + x)}{x(p + q + x)}$

get rid of only x:

$\displaystyle \frac{1}{p} + \frac{1}{q} = \frac{ - (q + p )}{x(p + q + x)}$

simplify addition of the left hand side:

$\displaystyle \frac{q + p}{pq} = \frac{ - (q + p )}{x(p + q + x)}$

divide both sides by q+p Which yields:

$\displaystyle \frac{1}{pq} = \frac{ -1}{x(p + q + x)}$

cross multiplication:

$\displaystyle x(p + q + x) = - pq$

distribute:

$\displaystyle xp + xq + {x}^{2} = - pq$

isolate -pq to the left hand side and change its sign:

$\displaystyle xp + xq + {x}^{2} + pq = 0$

rearrange it to standard form:

$\displaystyle {x}^{2} + xp + xq + pq = 0$

now notice we end up with a quadratic equation therefore to solve so we can consider factoring method to use so

factor out x:

$\displaystyle x( {x}^{} + p ) + xq + pq = 0$

factor out q:

$\displaystyle x( {x}^{} + p ) +q (x + p)= 0$

group:

$\displaystyle ( {x}^{} + p ) (x + q)= 0$

by Zero product property we obtain:

$\displaystyle \begin{cases} \displaystyle {x}^{} + p = 0 \\ \displaystyle x + q= 0 \end{cases}$

cancel out p from the first equation and q from the second equation which yields:

$\displaystyle \begin{cases} \displaystyle {x}^{} = - p \\ \displaystyle x = - q \end{cases}$

and we are done!

A barista averages making 16 coffees per hour. At this rate, how many hours will it take until she’s made 1,200 coffees?

nignag [31]

Answer:

75 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

16 times x=1200 or

16x=1200

divide both sides by 16

1200/16

so we simplify 1200/16 by factoring out the ones (4/8=1/2 times 4/4 since 4/4=1)

1200=3*2*2*2*2*5*5

16=2*2*2*2*1

so we notice that there are four 2's in both so those are the 'ones' so cross them off and get

3*5*5/1 or 75/1 or 75 hours
