A tank has 14 gallons of water in it when all of a sudden the water begins draining from the tank. Recall that water weights 8.3

45 pounds per gallon.
If 12 pounds of water have left the tank how many gallons of water are remaining

14 is the initial amount of water.

12 pounds is what has left.

Use a ratio
8.345 pounds per 1 gallon equals 12 pounds per x gallons.
8.345/1=12/x
x=12/8.345
x=1.438 gallons

Subtract this number from the initial to get the remaining amount.
14-1.438=12.562

12.562 gallons of water are remaining.

Find the angle between the given vectors. Round your answer, in degrees, to two decimal places. u=⟨2,−6⟩u=⟨2,−6⟩, v=⟨4,−7⟩

NISA [10]

Answer:

$\theta = 108.29$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$u =$

$v =$

Required:

Calculate the angle between u and v

The angle $\theta$ is calculated as thus:

$cos\theta = \frac{u.v}{|u|.|v|}$

For a vector

$A =$

$A = a * b$

$cos\theta = \frac{u.v}{|u|.|v|}$ becomes

$cos\theta = \frac{.}{|u|.|v|}$

$cos\theta = \frac{2*6+4*-7}{|u|.|v|}$

$cos\theta = \frac{12-28}{|u|.|v|}$

$cos\theta = \frac{-16}{|u|.|v|}$

For a vector

$A =$

$|A| = \sqrt{a^2 + b^2}$

So;

$|u| = \sqrt{2^2 + 6^2}$

$|u| = \sqrt{4 + 36}$

$|u| = \sqrt{40}$

$|v| = \sqrt{4^2+(-7)^2}$

$|v| = \sqrt{16+49}$

$|v| = \sqrt{65}$

So:

$cos\theta = \frac{-16}{|u|.|v|}$

$cos\theta = \frac{-16}{\sqrt{40}*\sqrt{65}}$

$cos\theta = \frac{-16}{\sqrt{2600}}$

$cos\theta = \frac{-16}{\sqrt{100*26}}$

$cos\theta = \frac{-16}{10\sqrt{26}}$

$cos\theta = \frac{-8}{5\sqrt{26}}$

Take arccos of both sides

$\theta = cos^{-1}(\frac{-8}{5\sqrt{26}})$

$\theta = cos^{-1}(\frac{-8}{5 * 5.0990})$

$\theta = cos^{-1}(\frac{-8}{25.495})$

$\theta = cos^{-1}(-0.31378701706)$

$\theta = 108.288386087$

<em></em> $\theta = 108.29$ <em> (approximated)</em>

anyanavicka [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

-8s-28>4

-8s-28+28>4+28

-8s>32 we divide by 8

-s>4 we multiply by -1 and we will change the sign because of this

s<-4
