Answer:

The Cheetah's initial speed is 19.4 miles per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the Cheetah is initially running and then gradually increases its speed by 50.6 miles per hour to reach a top speed of 70 miles per hour, let the Cheetah's initial speed be u.

Also, let the increase in the Cheetah's speed be Δu and let v be the Cheetah's final speed.

Now, the final speed, v = initial speed, u + change in speed, Δu

So, v = u + Δu

So, the Cheetah's initial speed is u = v - Δu

Now, v = 70 mi/h and Δu = 50.6 mi/h

Substituting v and Δu into the equation, we have

u = v - Δu

u = 70 mi/h - 50.6 mi/h

u = 19.4 mi/h

So, the Cheetah's initial speed is 19.4 miles per hour

Find slope of -2,3 and 4,-5

bulgar [2K]

-2,3 is (x1,y1) and (4,-5) is (x2,y2) so you do y2-y1/x2-x1

y2-y1 is -5-3 which is -8 and x2-x1 is 4-(-2) which is 6 so you get

-8/6= -4/3

26. Law of sines, please give a step by step explanation

Stels [109]

Answer:

174.6 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

It can be helpful to draw a diagram of the triangle we're concerned with. (See attached.)

We know the angle at the end of the shadow inside the triangle is 52°-22° = 30°. We assume the tree is growing straight up out of the hillside, so its angle with the hill inside the triangle is 90°+22° = 112°. Then the remaining angle between the shadow and the tree at the top of the tree is ...

180° -30° -112° = 38°

Now, we have the angle opposite the tree, and the angle opposite the known side length of the triangle (215 feet along the hill, AC in the diagram). This is enough information to usefully use the Law of Sines.

c/sin(C) = a/sin(A)

c = a(sin(C)/sin(A)) = (215 ft)(sin(30°)/sin(38°)) ≈ 174.6 ft

The height of the tree is about 174.6 feet.

Which of the following functions are homomorphisms?

Vikentia [17]

Part A:

Given $f:Z \rightarrow Z,$ defined by $f(x)=-x$

$f(x+y)=-(x+y)=-x-y \\ \\ f(x)+f(y)=-x+(-y)=-x-y$

but

$f(xy)=-xy \\ \\ f(x)\cdot f(y)=-x\cdot-y=xy$

Since, f(xy) ≠ f(x)f(y)

Therefore, the function is not a homomorphism.

Part B:

Given $f:Z_2 \rightarrow Z_2,$ defined by $f(x)=-x$

Note that in $Z_2$ , -1 = 1 and f(0) = 0 and f(1) = -1 = 1, so we can also use the formular $f(x)=x$

$f(x+y)=x+y \\ \\ f(x)+f(y)=x+y$

and

$f(xy)=xy \\ \\ f(x)\cdot f(y)=xy$

Therefore, the function is a homomorphism.

Part C:

Given $g:Q\rightarrow Q$ , defined by $g(x)= \frac{1}{x^2+1}$

$g(x+y)= \frac{1}{(x+y)^2+1} = \frac{1}{x^2+2xy+y^2+1} \\ \\ g(x)+g(y)= \frac{1}{x^2+1} + \frac{1}{y^2+1} = \frac{y^2+1+x^2+1}{(x^2+1)(y^2+1)} = \frac{x^2+y^2+2}{x^2y^2+x^2+y^2+1}$

Since, f(x+y) ≠ f(x) + f(y), therefore, the function is not a homomorphism.

Part D:

Given $h:R\rightarrow M(R)$ , defined by $h(a)= \left(\begin{array}{cc}-a&0\\a&0\end{array}\right)$

$h(a+b)= \left(\begin{array}{cc}-(a+b)&0\\a+b&0\end{array}\right)= \left(\begin{array}{cc}-a-b&0\\a+b&0\end{array}\right) \\ \\ h(a)+h(b)= \left(\begin{array}{cc}-a&0\\a&0\end{array}\right)+ \left(\begin{array}{cc}-b&0\\b&0\end{array}\right)=\left(\begin{array}{cc}-a-b&0\\a+b&0\end{array}\right)$

but

$h(ab)= \left(\begin{array}{cc}-ab&0\\ab&0\end{array}\right) \\ \\ h(a)\cdot h(b)= \left(\begin{array}{cc}-a&0\\a&0\end{array}\right)\cdot \left(\begin{array}{cc}-b&0\\b&0\end{array}\right)= \left(\begin{array}{cc}ab&0\\-ab&0\end{array}\right)$

Since, h(ab) ≠ h(a)h(b), therefore, the funtion is not a homomorphism.

Part E:

Given $f:Z_{12}\rightarrow Z_4$ , defined by $\left([x_{12}]\right)=[x_4]$ , where $[u_n]$ denotes the lass of the integer $u$ in $Z_n$ .

Then, for any $[a_{12}],[b_{12}]\in Z_{12}$ , we have

$f\left([a_{12}]+[b_{12}]\right)=f\left([a+b]_{12}\right) \\ \\ =[a+b]_4=[a]_4+[b]_4=f\left([a]_{12}\right)+f\left([b]_{12}\right)$

and

$f\left([a_{12}][b_{12}]\right)=f\left([ab]_{12}\right) \\ \\ =[ab]_4=[a]_4[b]_4=f\left([a]_{12}\right)f\left([b]_{12}\right)$

Therefore, the function is a homomorphism.
