Answer:

An astronomer Named Harlow Shapley was the one who announced where we are in space ( Earth ). How? with the help with stars brightness ( Absolute Magnitude ) whereas to how bright a stat appears to be ( magnitude ) they use that calculation to determine the distance from Earth. Harlow Shapley couldn't do this on his own as he needed help with another one's work named Henrietta Swan Leavitt. ( Who established that "Variable Stars" could determine the "astronomical distance " )

answer: The Earth's place in the galaxy was determined largely by an astronomer named Harlow Shapley.  Thanks to the regular periods of these stars and their presence in globular clusters, Shapley was able to map the distances to a number of clusters.

Point G is located at (3, -1) and point H is located at (-2, 3). Find the x value for the point that is the distance from point
valina [46]
All you need to do is to subtract the x-coord. of G from the x-coord of H:

-2 - 3 = -5.  Distance is not a signed quantity, so we'll give the final distance between points G and H as 5.

If a² = 7/36, then a is a) Rational b) irrational c) whole number d) integer
Dvinal [7]

Answer:

a = + or - sqrt(7)/6, which are irrational ( Answer Choice (b) ) for either case.

Step-by-step explanation:

a^2 = 7/36 implies that

a^2 - 7/36 = 0, by subtracting 7/36 from both sides of the equation, which implies that

(a - sqrt(7)/6)(a + sqrt(7)/6) = 0, by factoring, which implies that

a - sqrt(7)/6 = 0  or  a + sqrt(7)/6 = 0, by the zero product property of the real number system, which implies that

a = sqrt(7)/6 or a = - sqrt(7)/6, which are both irrational, since sqrt(7) is irrational and an irrational number divided by an integer (other than 0) is irrational.

Twice a number plus 5 is -3.<br> I don’t understand it help please
VMariaS [17]

Answer:

2n+5 =3

n=-1

The number is -1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let n be the number

Twice the number

2n

Plus 5

2n+5

is means equals

2n+5 =3

Now we want to solve

Subtract 5 from each side

2n+5-5 = 3-5

2n = -2

Divide each side by 2

2n/2 = -2/2

n = -1
