Answer:

C) 12/5

Step-by-step explanation:

Tan = Opposite / Adjacent

Tan(Z) = YX /YZ

Given: YZ = 5 and XZ = 13

(YZ)^2 = (XZ)^2 - (YZ)^2

= 13^2 - 5^2

= 169 - 25

= 144

YZ = 12

Tan(Z) = YX /YZ

Tan(Z) = 12/5

A fisherman traveled in a boat from point N upstream. After having traveled 6 km, he stopped rowing and 2 hour 40 min after firs

Nat2105 [25]

Answer:

The speed of the river's current is 4.5 km/hr.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : A fisherman traveled in a boat from point N upstream.

After having traveled 6 km, he stopped rowing and 2 hour 40 min after first leaving N, he was brought back to N by the current.

Knowing that the speed of the boat in still water is 9 km/hour

To find : The speed of the river’s current.

Solution :

Let the speed of current = x km/h

Speed of boat = 9 km/h

Thus, the speed in upstream = (9 - x) km/h

Also, the speed in downstream = x km/h (because the boat is stationary in downstream)

Total distance = 6 km ( from N to the point he reached )

Total time = 2 hours 40 minutes

$\text{2 hours 40 minutes}=2\frac{40}{60}=2 \frac{2}{3} \\\\\text{2 hours 40 minutes}=\frac{8}{3} \text{ hours}$

We know, $\text{Time} = \frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Speed}}$

According to the question,

$\frac{6}{9-x}+\frac{6}{x}=\frac{8}{3}$

Taking LCM and 6 common

$6[\frac{x+9-x}{(9-x)x}]=\frac{8}{3}$

Take 6 to another side,

$\frac{9}{9x-x^2}=\frac{8}{3\times 6}$

Cross multiply,

$9\times 18=8\times(9x-x^2)$

$162=72x-8x^2$

Taking 4 common and cancel out

$4x^2-36x+81=0$

Solve quadratic equation by middle term split,

$4x^2-18x-18x+81=0$

$2x(2x-9)-9(2x-9)=0$

$(2x-9)(2x-9)=0$

$\Rightarrow 2x-9=0$

$\Rightarrow x=\frac{9}{2}=4.5$

Therefore, The speed of the river's current is 4.5 km/hr.

What are the intercepts of this line?

olga_2 [115]

Answer:

x-intercept is -1; y-intercept is 0.5.

Step-by-step explanation:

The x-intercept is relatively easy to read off. It's the x-value where the graph crosses the x-axis, and here is (-1,0).

The y-intercept is best estimated as (0,+0.5).

The correct answer is the 3rd one on the list.

George bought socks for "$"300 and planned to sell them for $6 a pair. write an inequality to find the minimum number of socks h

Anit [1.1K]

The inequality 6s - 300 > 210 represents the minimum number of socks (s) when George bought socks for "$"300 and planned to sell them for $6 a pair, and want to make a profit of more than 210.

In the question, we are given that George bought socks for $300.

Therefore, George's total cost = $300.

We assume the number of pairs of socks George sells to be s.

The unit price per pair quoted by George = $6

Therefore, George's total sales = $6s.

We know that the profit over a transaction is given as the difference between sales and costs, that is,

The profit = The total sales - the total costs,

or, profit = 6s - 300.

In the question, we are required to make a profit of more than 210.

This can be shown by the inequality,

6s - 300 > 210.

Thus, the inequality 6s - 300 > 210 represents the minimum number of socks (s) when George bought socks for "$"300 and planned to sell them for $6 a pair, and want to make a profit of more than 210.

Simplify the following expressions using Order of Operations. 4+ 8 = 2 + 6 x 2

Hunter-Best [27]

Answer:

12 ≠ 14

Step-by-step explanation:

(4+8)=2+(6x2)

12 = 2 + 12

12 ≠ 14.

So the equation is false.
