Answer:

  138.06 lb N86.1°E

Step-by-step explanation:

There are several ways you can work this. One of the most straightforward is to resolve each vector into its north and east components, add those, and then covert the result back to magnitude and direction.

A diagram can help immensely.

We note that S78°E is the same as E12°S. Since we're used to seeing the coordinate system with the +x axis aligned with east, it can be convenient to think of the first force as 100 lb at -12°.

The angle of the second force is N53°E, which can be expressed as E37°N. Then in x-y coordinates, this force is 50 lb at +37°.

The components of the sum are the sum of the components:

  R = F1 +F2 = (100cos(-12°) +50cos(37°), 100sin(-12°) +50sin(37°))

  = (137.747, 9.300)

The the magnitude of the resultant is computed using the Pythagorean theorem:

  ||R|| = √(137.747² +9.300²) ≈ 138.06

and the angle is computed using the arctangent function. Here, our diagram tells us the angle is in the first quadrant, so is positive (relative to +x, or East).

  ∠R = arctan(9.300/137.747) ≈ 3.9°

__

We want to express the answer in terms similar to the way the given forces are expressed, so we want the angle relative to north. The resultant is then described by ...

  R = 138.06 lb at N86.1°E

Which two of the following is continuous data?
Alla [95]

Answer:

B. Age of student

D. Time taken to run 1 mile

Step-by-step explanation:

From the list of given options, only B and D satisfy the required condition.

One unique determinant of continuous data is that; they are measured and not counted.

Now, let's categorize option A to D into two

1. Counted data

2. Measured data

Options that fall into the category of measured data are said to be continuous data.

A. Concert attendance; The number of people in a concert is counted

B. The age of a student is measured (in years)

C. Number of pens in a box is counted

D. Time taken to run 1 mile is measured (in units like seconds, minutes, hours, etc...)

In summary; we have

Counted

A. Concert Attendance

C. Number of pens in a box

Measured

B. Age of a student

D. Time taken to run 1 mile

Hence, the continuous data are Age of a student and Time taken to run 1 mile

Jimmy borrowed $450 to start a lawn-mowing business. He charges $35 per lawn and it costs him $8 in operating costs per lawn.
Akimi4 [234]

Answer: $450

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Amount borrowed = $450

Amount charged per lawn = $35

Operating cost per lawn = $8

Jimmy's cost (C(x)) :

Amount borrowed + operating cost

If x lawns are mowed :

$450 + $8 per lawn

$450 + $8x

C(x) = 450 + 8x

Intercept (value of y when x = 0

Value of C(x) ; when x = 0

C(x) = 450 + 8(0)

C(x) = 450 + 0

C(x) = 450
