2(c-3)=s

because you have to subtract 3 years from sherman's age first, so you need the parentheses

The sum of the lengths of two opposite sides of the circumscribed quadrilateral is 12 cm, the length of a radius of the circle i

nasty-shy [4]

Answer:

60cm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

We assume that is a circumscribing quadrilateral, rather than one that is circumscribed. It is also called a "tangential quadrilateral" and its area is ...

K = sr

where s is the semi-perimeter, the sum of opposite sides, and r is the radius of the incircle.

K = (12 cm) (5cm) = 60 cm²

_____

A quadrilateral can only be tangential if pairs of opposite sides add to the same length. Hence the given sum is the semiperimeter.

Determine the commutators of the operators a and a+,where a = (x + ip)/2 ^1/2 and a+ = (x - ip)/ 2 ^1/2

Vsevolod [243]

Answer:

Given that:

$a = (\frac{x+ip}{2})^{\frac{1}{2}}$ and $a+= (\frac{x-ip}{2})^{\frac{1}{2}}$

if a , a+ commutator, it obeys $aa^+ = a^+a$

First find:

$aa^+ = (\frac{x+ip}{2})^{\frac{1}{2}} (\frac{x-ip}{2})^{\frac{1}{2}}$

= $(\frac{(x)^2-(ip)^2}{4})^{\frac{1}{2}}=(\frac{(x)^2+(p)^2}{4})^{\frac{1}{2}}$

Now;

$a^+a =(\frac{x-ip}{2})^{\frac{1}{2}} (\frac{x+ip}{2})^{\frac{1}{2}} = (\frac{(x)^2-(ip)^2}{4})^{\frac{1}{2}}$

= $(\frac{(x)^2-(ip)^2}{4})^{\frac{1}{2}}=(\frac{(x)^2+(p)^2}{4})^{\frac{1}{2}}$

therefore, $aa^+ = a^+a$ which implies the operators a and a+ are commutators.

A chemistry teacher needs to mix a 20% salt solution with an 80% salt solution to make 20 qt of a 40% salt solution. How many qu

Svetlanka [38]

Answer:

6 2/3 qt 80%
13 1/3 qt 20%

Step-by-step explanation:

It is often convenient to solve a mixture problem by letting a variable represent the quantity of the higher-concentration contributor to the mix.

__

We can let x represent the number of quarts of 80% solution needed. Then (20-x) is the number of quarts of 20% solution needed. The amount of salt in the final mix is ...

0.80x +0.20(20-x) = 0.40(20)

0.60x = 0.20(20) . . . . . . . . subtract 0.20(20) and simplify

x = 20/3 = 6 2/3 . . . . . . . . . divide by 0.60; quarts of 80% solution

(20 -x) = 13 1/3 . . . . . . . . . . amount of 20% solution needed

The teacher should mix 6 2/3 quarts of 80% solution with 13 1/3 quarts of 20% solution.
