Answer:

Option (A)

Step-by-step explanation:

The Barnard's Star is usually considered to be a red dwarf, that is approximately six light-years away from the location of earth. It is present in the Ophiuchus constellation and forms the 4th proximate star to the sun.

Altair refers to the bright shining star present in the Aquila constellation. It forms the 12th brightest star that occurs in the night sky.

Spica is one of the proximate stars to the earth and that is extremely large having a mass of almost ten times the mass of the sun.

The mass of Barnard's star is= 2.864 × 10^29 kg

The mass of the Altair is= 3.56 × 10^30 kg

The mass of the Spica= 19.89 × 10^30 kg

The arrangement of these given stars in the increasing order are as follows-

Barnard's star (minimum) < Altair star < Spica star (maximum)

Hence, the correct answer is option (A).

Match the surfaces with the verbal description of the level curves by placing the letter of the verbal description to the left o

irakobra [83]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1. (2/z)x^2 + (3/z)y^2 is an equation for an ellipse, so the answeris A.

2. We can rewrite this as x^2 + y^2 = 25 - z^2. This is theequation for a circle, so the level curves are circles. However,they are unevenly spaced, because the radius of each circle issqrt(25-z^2). So the answer is F.

3. Rewriting, we have y = z/x. This is the equation of a hyperbola(except when z = 0). So the answer is B.

4. Rewriting, we have x^2 + y^2 = z^2. This is the equation for acircle of radius z, so the level curves are evenly spaced circles.The answer is C.

5. Solving for x, we have x = 1 + 1/z. These level curves arevertical lines, which are obviously parallel. However, they areunequally spaced, since the distance between them gets smaller as zgets larger. The answer is E.

6. x^2 + y^2 = z is the equation for a circle of radius sqrt(z).They are unevenly spaced once again, because the radii do notincrease linearly with z. The answer is F.

7. Solving for y gives: y = (-2/3)x + z/3. This is the equation fora line of slope -2/3 with y-intercept z/3. These are parallelbecause they all have the same slope, and evenly-spaced becauseeach time we increase z by 1 the y-intercept moves up by 1/3. Theanswer is D.

Question 1

arlik [135]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

This problem can be done without the Distance Formula (which is a way to find the distance between any two points in the plane).

The attached image shows the points and segments joining them.

PQ = 5 because the points are on the same horizontal line, and you can count spaces between them (or subtract x-coordinates: 4 - (-1) = 5).

PR = 12 because the points are on the same vertical line; count spaces or subtract y-coordinates, 7 - (-5) = 12.

The triangle is a right triangle, so the Pythagorean Theorem can be used to find the length of the hypotenuse.

$(\text{leg})^2+(\text{leg})^2=(\text{hypotenuse})^2$
