3a=9

firstly, you will need to divide each side of the equal sign by 3.

3a/3=9/3

Once you divide, you end up with a=3

Hope this helped!

You divide 3 from both sides

and the answer is a=3
because 3 divided by 3 is 0
and you don't have to write it
and then 9 divided by 3 is 3
so replace the 9 with 3 and it gives you
a=3

Write the equation in standard form for the circle with radius 9 centered at the origin.

amid [387]

The standard form of the equation of a circle of radius r, with (assuming centre h, k) is given as:

(X-h)^2 + (y-k)^2 = r^2

As we are required to write an equation in standard form for the circle with radius 9 centred at the origin.
Centre(h,k)=(0,0), r=9

Substituting these values into the standard form of the equation of a circle given above:

(X-0)^2 + (y-0)^2 = 9^2
X^2 + y^2 =81

The standard form is x^2 + y^2 =81

I’m pretty sure this is right

action bar. John has $132.55 in his bank account. He wants to join a guitar class that charges a $15 fee every week. John plans

Artemon [7]

$132.55-($15*12)=$132.55-$180=$-47.45
So then he would have owed 47.45 dollars!

8d + 1 = 5d + 10 can someone please explain how to solve this?

spayn [35]

Add '-1' to each side of the equation. 1 + -1 + 3d = 10 + -1 Combine like terms: 1 + -1 = 0 0 + 3d = 10 + -1 3d = 10 + -1

Combine like terms: 10 + -1 = 9 3d = 9

Divide each side by '3'. d = 3 Simplifying

The tallest tree in the world is reputed to be a giant redwood named Hyperion located in Redwood National Park in California, US

dlinn [17]

Answer:

114.02 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

The information you're given about the tree will form a triangle, with the three corners being the top of the tree, the point where the tree meets the ground, and the specified point 41.5 meters from the tree. The angle of elevation (70°) is the angle made where the line representing the ground and the line connecting the top of the tree to the ground at the specified point connect.

The angle where the tree meets the ground is 90°, so the triangle a right triangle.

So this all means you know one angle of a right triangle (70°) and the side adjacent to this angle (41.5 meters). You're solving for the height of the tree, which is the side opposite of the angle you know. You can solve using either Sine, Cosine, or Tangent.

Use the acronym SOHCAHTOA to figure out which of those three functions to use. Feel free to look this up for more information if you haven't heard of it before. In this case, we're using Tangent (TOA = Tangent, Opposite side, Adjacent side)

To solve using any of those three functions, you'll need a scientific calculator. On your calculator, you'll see the buttons SIN, COS, andTAN. For this problem, press TAN and you'll see something appear that says tan (___). You'll need to input a number to get your answer, and here's how to find that number:

Again referencing SOHCAHTOA, the "TOA" part lists Opposite first and then Adjacent. This is because you're going to write a fraction with those two numbers, and since Opposite is first, it's the numerator. That means that Adjacent is the denominator. We don't know the value of the opposite side, so it'll be represented by x, and we do know the value of the adjacent side, 41.5. This means the fraction is $\frac{x}{41.5}$ .

This isn't the number to input into the calculator -- you need to isolate the variable:

The original equation is:

tan 70 = x/41.5

Multiply both sides by 41.5 (To cancel out the denominator and isolate x)

tan 70 (41.5) = x

Now you've got the equation for x, you're ready to put this in your calculator.

What appeared on your calculator was:

tan(__)

Input like follows:

(tan(70))41.5

The brackets are needed like that so the calculator knows to multiply the entire thing by 41.5. You might get a wrong answer otherwise.

Hit enter, and you'l get the height of the tree:

114.02 meters
