Answer:

x = 15/17 , y = 11/17

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve the following system:

{y = 1 - (2 x)/5 | (equation 1)

{y = 3 x - 2 | (equation 2)

Express the system in standard form:

{(2 x)/5 + y = 1 | (equation 1)

{-(3 x) + y = -2 | (equation 2)

Swap equation 1 with equation 2:

{-(3 x) + y = -2 | (equation 1)

{(2 x)/5 + y = 1 | (equation 2)

Add 2/15 × (equation 1) to equation 2:

{-(3 x) + y = -2 | (equation 1)

{0 x+(17 y)/15 = 11/15 | (equation 2)

Multiply equation 2 by 15:

{-(3 x) + y = -2 | (equation 1)

{0 x+17 y = 11 | (equation 2)

Divide equation 2 by 17:

{-(3 x) + y = -2 | (equation 1)

{0 x+y = 11/17 | (equation 2)

Subtract equation 2 from equation 1:

{-(3 x)+0 y = -45/17 | (equation 1)

{0 x+y = 11/17 | (equation 2)

Divide equation 1 by -3:

{x+0 y = 15/17 | (equation 1)

v0 x+y = 11/17 | (equation 2)

Collect results:

Answer: {x = 15/17 , y = 11/17

A water balloon slingshot launches its projectiles essentially from ground level at a speed of 25.5 m/s . (You can ignore air re

lozanna [386]

A) The longest horizontal distance is reached at 45 degrees angle. This is true for any projectile launch.

B) First, calculate fligth time (using the vertical motion) and then calculate the horizontal movement.

Flight time = 2* ascendent time

ascendent time => final vertical velocity, Vy, = 0

sin(45) = Voy / Vo => Voy = Vosin(45) = 25.5 m/s * (√2) / 2 = 18.03 m/s

Vy = Voy - gt = 0 => Voy = gt = t = Voy / g

Use g = 10 m/s^ (it is an aproximation, because the actual value is about 9.81 m/s^2 depending on the latitud)

t = 18.03 m/s / 10 m/s^2 = 1.83 s

This is the ascendant time going upward.

The flight time is 2*1.83 = 3.66 s

Horizontal motion

Horizontal velocity = Vx = constant = Vox = Vo*cos(45) = 18.03 m/s

Vx = x / t => x = Vx*t

Horizontal distance = xmax = 18.03m/s*3.66 s = 65.99 m

c) The time the ballon will be in the air was calculated in the part B, it is 18.03 s

If BAC = 320°, what is the measure of BC?

melisa1 [442]

Answer:

BC = 40º

BMC = 40º

Step-by-step explanation: Since the measure the major and minor arcs add up to 360º, just subtract 320 from 360 to find BC which is 40º. <BMC is also 40º because the measure of the arc is equal to its corresponding angle.

A group of adults and students went on a class trip to Washington, DC. The number of male students was 1 more than 7 times the n

algol [13]

Alright.
So let's say the number of adults is x.
Therefore, the number of boys is 7x + 1.
And then the total amount of girls is 3.5x + 0.5
So then:
x + 7x + 1 + 3.5x + 0.5 = 82
11.5x + 1.5 = 82
11.5x = 80.5
x = 7
So now we can figure out the number of male and female students.
Male students = 7x + 1
7*7 + 1
49 + 1
50
Male Students = 50
Female students = half of 50
50/2 = 25
Female Students = 25
