Let's make two simultaneous equations and solve. Let's call the smaller number s, and the larger number l
l=3s-1\\l+s=63\\\text{now solve this, and find l and s}\\\text{modifying the second equation}\\l=63-s\\\text{plugging this into the first equation}\\63-s=3s-1\\\text{solve for s}\\64=4s\\s=16\\\text{plug this into the second equation from the original two}\\l+16=63\\\text{solve for l}\\l=47\\\text{gather the answers. The answers are: the larger number is 47, and the smaller number is 16.}

Which is an asymptote of the graph of the function y = cot ( x - 2pi / 3 )
vesna_86 [32]
\bf y=cot\left(x-\frac{2\pi }{3}  \right)\implies y=\cfrac{cos\left(x-\frac{2\pi }{3}  \right)}{sin\left(x-\frac{2\pi }{3}  \right)}

now, if the denominator turns to 0, the fraction becomes undefined, and you get a "vertical asymptote" when that happens, so let's check when is that

\bf sin\left(x-\frac{2\pi }{3}  \right)=0\implies sin^{-1}\left[ sin\left(x-\frac{2\pi }{3}  \right) \right]=sin^{-1}(0)
\\\\\\
x-\frac{2\pi }{3}=
\begin{cases}
0\\
\pi 
\end{cases}\implies \measuredangle x=
\begin{cases}
\frac{2\pi }{3}\\
\frac{5\pi }{3}
\end{cases}

now, at those angles, the function is asymptotic, check the picture below

The time (X) to complete a standardized exam is approximately normal with a mean of 70 minutes and standard deviation of 10 minu
notka56 [123]

Answer:

77.88 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Mean (m) = 70

Standard deviation (s) = 10

For 80% of student to complete the exam. In the given time

Using the formula :

Zscore = (X - mean) / standard deviation

80th percentile = 80/100 = 0.8 has a Zscore = 0.7881

0.7881 = (X - 70) /10

0.7881 * 10 = X - 70

7.881 = X - 70

7.881 + 70 = X

77.881 = X

Hence, 77.88 minutes should be given

The radius of a circle is 9 times the radius of a smaller circle. The area of the smaller circle is 50 square centimeters. What
scoundrel [369]

Answer:

Let R = radius of big circle

r=radius of small circle

A1=Area of small circle

A2=Area of big circle

R=9r

A1=50cm^2

A1=pi*r*2

A2=pi*R^2

A2=pi*(9r)^2

A2=81*pi*r^2

A2=81*A1

A2=4050cm^2

Hence the big circle has area of 4050cm^2
