Answer: The required length of each piece of wood is  or 9 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:  Given that a piece of lumber is  feet long is to be cut into 3 equal pieces.

We are to find the length of each piece of wood in feet and in inches.

We will be using the UNITARY method to solve the given problem.

The length of 3 pieces of wood is equal to  

Therefore, the length of each piece of wood will be

Thus, the required length of each piece of wood is  or 9 inches.

Given that tan0= -1, what is the value of sec0, for 3pi/2<0<2pi?
Maru [420]

Answer: Choice B. sqrt(2)

Draw out a right triangle in quadrant IV as you see in the attached image below. The horizontal and vertical legs are both 1 unit long. To ensure that the signs are properly set up, I am making the vertical leg BC have a label "-1" to mean this is below the x axis. Note how

tan(theta) = opposite/adjacent = BC/AB = -1/1 = -1

Use the pythagorean theorem to find that the hypotenuse AC is sqrt(2) units long

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

(1)^2 + (1)^2 = c^2

2 = c^2

c^2 = 2

c = sqrt(2)

The secant of theta is the ratio of the hypotenuse over the adjacent side, so we end up with

sec(theta) = hypotenuse/adjacent

sec(theta) = AC/AB

sec(theta) = sqrt(2)/1

sec(theta) = sqrt(2) which is why choice B is the answer

Which statement describes the solution(s) to the system of equations 2 x − 3 y = − 10 and − 6 x + 9 y = − 10 ?
Aleonysh [2.5K]
X = 3/2 or 1 1/2

Both of the equations equal -10, therefor the equations are equal.

Answer:

x = 7, arc DE = 198°

Step-by-step explanation:

Inscribed angles from the same arc are congruent.

∠ DCE and ∠ DWE are inscribed angles from the same arc DE , thus

12x + 15 = 3x + 78 ( subtract 3x from both sides )

9x + 15 = 78 ( subtract 15 from both sides )

9x = 63 ( divide both sides by 9 )

x = 7

Thus

∠ DCE = 12x + 15 = 12(7) + 15 = 84 + 15 = 99°

The inscribed angle DCE is half the measure of its intercepted arc, thus

arc DE = 2 × 99° = 198°

The graph of y2+3x=0 is symmetric with respect to which axis?
natta225 [31]

Answer:

The graph of y2+3x=0 is symmetric with respect to the x-axis

Step-by-step explanation:

To establish symmetry with respect to the x-axis we simply substitute -y in place of y in the original equation. If the resulting equation is identical to the original one then the function is said to be symmetric with respect to the x-axis.

In this case we have;

y^{2} +3x=0\\(-y)^{2} +3x=0\\y^{2} +3x=0

Which is identical to the original equation
