From home to school, Armen spent 36 minutes walking at a speed of 70 yards per minute. What was his speed, if he spent 8 minutes

less time while getting back?

Answer:

90 yards per minute

Step-by-step explanation:

Armen's time getting back was 36 -8 = 28 minutes. Then the ratio of times is 28/36 = 7/9.

The ratio of speeds is the inverse of this, so his speed coming back is ...

speed/70 = 9/7

Multiplying by 70 gives ...

speed = 70·9/7 = 90 . . . . yards per minute

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>

Find the greatest common factor of 270 and 360.

Vitek1552 [10]

Finding the greatest common factor ( or G C F ):
G C F is the largest number that divides evenly into all the numbers.
270 : 90 = 3
360 : 90 = 4
G C F ( 270, 360 ) = 90
