<u>Answer: </u>

60 degrees, 30 degrees

<u>Explanation:</u>

Sun angle = 90° - Zenith angle

On September 22, the sun passes over celestial equator. Equinox occurs.

Zenith Angle = Latitude of the place

Latitude of New Orleans, US = 29.95° ≈ 30°

Latitude of  Helsinki, Finland = 60.95° ≈ 60°

Thus, the Sun angle at noon at New Orleans would be 90° - 30° = 60°

and at Helsinki, Finland would be 90° - 60° = 30°

<span>We need to calculate noon sun angle. Noon sun angle is an angle at which sun-rays fall at noon on a given date.
</span>On September 22, the sun’s rays form a 90° angle at noon at the equator.

Formula for calculating noon sun angle is:

Noon_sun_angle = 90° - Zenith angle

We have complementary angles so we need to substract zenith angle from 90°.

The zenith angle is the distance between subsolar point (point where sun is at 90°) and the latitude of an observer. In our case this angle will have same value as latitude because subsolar point is at equator 0°. If our latitude and subsolar point are at same hemisphere we substract values. Otherwise we add values.

New Orleans, USA
Latitude = 30°
Noon_sun_angle = 90° - 30° = 60°

Helsinki, Finland
Latitude = 60°
Noon_sun_angle = 90° - 60° = 30°

How do i solve by using substitution​
elena55 [62]

Answer:

a = 0, b = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

3a + b = 3

b = - 3a +3

2a - 5b = - 15

2a - 5(-3a + 3) = - 15

2a + 15a - 15 = - 15

17a = 0

a = 0

b = -3a +3 = - 3 *0 +3 = 3

108 identical books have a mass of 30 kg. Find
Lynna [10]

Answer:

(i) 540kg

(ii) 5.56 (rounded off to 3 significant figures)

Step-by-step explanation:

108  \div 30 = 3.6kg

(i)3.6 \times 150 = 540kg

(ii)3.6 \times x = 20

3.6x = 20

x =  \frac{20}{3.6}

x = 5 \frac{5}{9}

What is the equation of the quadratic function that has a minimum at (7,-3) and goes through (9,9)?
SOVA2 [1]

Answer:

y = 3x² - 42x + 144

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a parabola in vertex form is

y = a(x - h)² + k

where (h, k) are the coordinates of the vertex and a is a multiplier

here (h, k) = (7, - 3), thus

y = a(x - 7)² - 3

To find a substitute (9, 9) into the equation

9 = 4a - 3 ( add 3 to both sides )

12 = 4a ( divide both sides by 4 )

a = 3

y = 3(x - 7)² - 3 ← in vertex form

Expand factor and simplify

y = 3(x² - 14x + 49) - 3

  = 3x² - 42x + 147 - 3

  = 3x² - 42x + 144 ← in standard form
