Answer:

The point 40 refers to the y-intercept of the linear model

Step-by-step explanation:

Looking at the equation, we can conclude that it is the equation of a straight line or a linear equation.

What this means is that it follows the general form of the equation of a straight line which is

y = mx + c

where m is the slope and c refers to the y-intercept

when we say the y-intercept, we mean the point at which the straight line plot crosses the y-axis at which x = 0

Extrapolating this, we mean the term 40 in the model refers to the y-intercept of the given linear equation

it is at the point 40 that the straight line crosses the or touches the y-axis.

Also at this point, the value of x = 0

Find the average value fave of the function f on the given interval. f(t) = e^sin(t) cos(t), [0, π/2]

RideAnS [48]

The question is related to integration and we have to used the following formula

$\frac{1}{b-a}\int\limits^a_b {f(x)} \, dx$

$\frac{1}{\pi /2 -0}\int\limits^0_{\pi/2} {e^{sin t}cos t } \, dt$

$= \frac{2}{\pi}(e^{sin t})_{0}^{ \pi /2}$

$=\frac{2}{\pi}(e^{sin(\pi/2)} -e^{sin0})$

$=\frac{2}{\pi}(e -1)$

Angles α and β are the two acute angles in a right triangle, where α = 5x 3 + 20 and β = 2x 3 + 14. Find α.

Tom [10]

The acute angles of a right triangle are complementary, so
α + β = 90
(5x/3 +20) + (2x/3) + 14) = 90 . . . . . . substitute given values
7x/3 +34 = 90 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . collect terms
7x/3 = 56 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 34
x = (3/7)*56 = 24 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . multiply by 3/7

Then the value of α is ...
α = 5*24/3 +20 = 60

Which number is bigger: 0.135 or 0.14?

Fofino [41]

0.14 as if you convert it into like decimal (add a 0 if the places are not the same e.g. 0.1 and 0.02 here 0.1 does not have the same number of digits so add a zero so it becomes 0.10 :. 0.10 is bigger then 0.02) (note the value of 0.1 will remain the same) so here 0.14 will become 0.140 :. bigger than 0.135
