The measure of one angle is 32° less than the measure of its supplement. Write an equation and solve it to find the measurements

of the angles.

Let's make variables for two angles first. One angle will be x, and the other will be y.

Since they're supplementary, we know x + y = 180

We also know x = y - 32, since it's 32 degrees less than it's supplement.

Input the value of x into the first equation and...

y - 32 + y = 180

2y - 32 = 180

Add 32 to both sides:

2y = 212

Divide both sides by 2:

y = 106

We can solve for x in two ways.

One, we can subtract 32 from 106 since x is 32 degrees less.

Or, we could also just subtract 106 from 180 since we know the angles are supplementary.

x = 74

74 degrees and 106 degrees. The equation is y - 32 + y = 180, or x + y = 180

8. What is the distance around the clock?

Elan Coil [88]

Answer:

The clock face is divided into sixty equal parts, each minute. The minute hand is located on the 20 minute mark at 6:20, the hour hand located between the 30 minute mark and the 35 minute mark. When the minute hand goes all sixty minutes, the hour hand only moves five, so to figure out the location of the hour hand, we look at how much the hour has progressed, in this case 20 minutes, or one third of the hour. So the minute hand has moved one third of the way through the hour, so has the hour hand moved one third of the way through the five minutes, or, five thirds of a minute, which is one and two thirds minute, one minute forty seconds. That puts the hour hand at thirty minutes plus one minute and forty seconds—at 31min 40sec—which is 11min 40sec farther than the minute hand.

Factorise 2x^2 - 3x -2 < 0

Galina-37 [17]

Step 1: Factor $2 x^{2} - 3x -2$
1. <span> Multiply 2 by -2, which is -4.</span>
2. <span>Ask: Which two numbers add up to -3 and multiply to -4?
</span>3. <span>Answer: 1 and -4
</span>4. Rewrite $-3x$ as the sum of $x$ and $-4x$

$2 x^{2} +x-4x-2\ \textless \ 0$

Step 2: <span>Factor out common terms in the first two terms, then in the last two terms.

</span> $x(2x+1)-2(2x+1)\ \textless \ 0$
<span>
Step 3: </span>Factor out the common term $2x+1$

$(2x+1)(x-2)\ \textless \ 0$

Step 4: Solve for $x$

1. Ask: When will $(2x+1)(x-2)$ equal zero?
2. Answer: When $2x + 1 = 0$ or $x-2=0$
3. <span>Solve each of the 2 equations above:

</span> $x=- \frac{1}{2} ,2$
<span>
Step 5: </span>From the values of $x$ <span>above, we have these 3 intervals to test.
x = < -1/2
-1/2 < x < 2
x > 2

Step 6: P</span><span>ick a test point for each interval

</span>For the interval $x\ \textless \ - \frac{1}{2} 
$
Lets pick $x=-1.$ Then, $2(-1) ^{2} -3 * -1 -2 \ \textless \ 0$
After simplifying, we get $3\ \textless \ 0$ , Which is false.
Drop this interval.
<span>
For this interval $- \frac{1}{2} \ \textless \ x\ \textless \ 2$
Lets pick $x=0$ . Then, $2* 0^{2} - 3 * 0-2\ \textless \ 0$ . After simplifying, we get $-2\ \textless \ 0,$ which is true. Keep this <span>interval.

For the interval </span> $x\ \textgreater \ 2$

Lets pick $x = 3.$ Then, $2 * 3 ^{2} -3*3-2\ \textless \ 0.$ After simplifying, we get $7\ \textless \ 0$ , Which is false. Drop this interval.

.Step 7: Therefore,
$- \frac{1}{2} \ \textless \ x\ \textless \ 2$

Done! :)</span>

The point (1, −1) is on the terminal side of angle θ, in standard position. What are the values of sine, cosine, and tangent of

mixer [17]

Notice the picture below

x = 1 and y = -1

now... recall your SOH CAH TOA $\bf sin(\theta)=\cfrac{y}{r}
\qquad 
% cosine
cos(\theta)=\cfrac{x}{r}
\qquad 
% tangent
tan(\theta)=\cfrac{y}{x}$

now.. what's the value for "r" or the radius? well, using the pythagorean theorem $\bf c^2=a^2+b^2\implies c=\sqrt{a^2+b^2}\qquad 
\begin{cases}
a=x\\
b=y\\
c=r
\end{cases}$

PLSSSS HELP Which number is not in the correct location?

neonofarm [45]

The answer is -7, because a whole number is any number between zero and POSITIVE infinity. Negative seven does not fall under this.
