Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

I agree with your answer. The question is basically just saying the beverage company randomly chooses one of those letters to put under the bottle caps. For example, one bottle cap might have a T on it, and another might have an A on it. If you try to get all 4 letters, then you will have to keep buying those drinks until you manage to collect all 4 letters. Therefore, there are only 4 possible options for which letter you can get.

If you spin a spinner that has 4 equal sections, then this is similar. You have 4 possible options you can get.

Hope this helps! :)

Answer:

I think you are correct. bc you have 4 different caps, and four different sections of a spinner that are equal same with the cap. So I believe so.

I hope this helps! Im in algebra 2 so its been awhile since i have done this. Good Luck!!:)

While visiting Wallawulla State Park, Joe approximated the angle of elevation to the top of a mound to be 40 degrees . After wa

katen-ka-za [31]

Answer:

Height of mound = 794 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

To illustrate the angle of elevation and distance, i have drawn it and attached below.

Now, from my diagram;

h = the height of the mound

At his first point of his trip to the foot of the mound, the angle of elevation is 40°, while the horizontal distance to the foot of the mound is "X"

So, by triangle definition,

tan(40°) = h/x

And so;

h = x tan40

h = 0.8391x - - - - (eq 1)

At his second point of the trip to the foot of the mound, Joe is now,

"(x - 450) ft" from the foot of the mound.

Thus, his angle of elevation is 40 + 18 = 58°.

So, by triangle definition,

tan(58°) = h/(x - 450)

h = (x - 450)•(tan(58°))

h = 1.6003(x - 450)

h = 1.6003x - 720.135 - - - - -(eq2)

To get the height(h) of the mound, let's equate (eq1) to (eq2).

0.8391x = 1.6003x - 720.135

1.6003x - 0.8391x = 720.135

0.7612x = 720.135

x = 720.135/0.7612

x = 946.0523 ft

Let's put this value for x in eq (1);

h = 0.8391 x 946.0523 = 793.83 ft ≈ 794ft

James has 3 pairs of running shoes for every 4 pairs of basketball shoes. If he has 12 pairs of basketball shoes, how many pairs

GaryK [48]

If James has 12 pairs of basketball shoes, then the ratio would be 3:4 which would stop at 3:12. Then the individual ratios would be 3:4, 6:8, and 9:12

So James has 9 pairs of running shoes

determine the point of intersection of the following pair of lines ............2x-3y-4=-13 and 5x=-2y+25. 3x+2y-7=0 and 2x=12-5y

grandymaker [24]

Answer:

(x, y) = (3, 5)
(x, y) = (1, 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

A nice graphing calculator app makes these trivially simple. (See the first two attachments.) It is available for phones, tablets, and as a web page.

The usual methods of solving a system of equations involve elimination or substitution.

There is another method that is relatively easy to use. It is a variation of "Cramer's Rule" and is fully equivalent to elimination. It makes use of a formula applied to the equation coefficients. The pattern of coefficients in the formula, and the formula itself are shown in the third attachment. I like this when the coefficient numbers are "too messy" for elimination or substitution to be used easily. It makes use of the equations in standard form.

1. In standard form, your equations are ...

2x -3y = -9
5x +2y = 25

Then the solution is ...

$x=\dfrac{-3(25)-(2)(-9)}{-3(5)-(2)(2)}=\dfrac{-57}{-19}=3\\\\y=\dfrac{-9(5)-(25)(2)}{-19}=\dfrac{-95}{-19}=5\\\\(x,y)=(3,5)$

2. In standard form, your equations are ...

3x +2y = 7
2x +5y = 12

Then the solution is ...

$x=\dfrac{2(12)-5(7)}{2(2)-5(3)}=\dfrac{-11}{-11}=1\\\\y=\dfrac{7(2)-12(3)}{-11}=\dfrac{-22}{-11}=2\\\\(x,y)=(1,2)$

Note on Cramer's Rule

The equation you will see for Cramer's Rule applied to a system of 2 equations in 2 unknowns will have the terms in numerator and denominator swapped: ec-bf, for example, instead of bf-ec. This effectively multiplies both numerator and denominator by -1, so has no effect on the result.

The reason for writing the formula in the fashion shown here is that it makes the pattern of multiplications and subtractions easier to remember. Often, you can do the math in your head. This is the method taught by "Vedic maths" and/or "Singapore math." Those teaching methods tend to place more emphasis on mental arithmetic than we do in the US.
