A two-dimensional vector has an x-component of 10.3~\text{meters}10.3 meters and a y-component of 4.30~\text{meters}4.30 meters.

Calculate the angle (in degrees) that this two-dimensional vector makes with the positive x-axis.

Answer:

  23°

Step-by-step explanation:

The angle a vector makes relative to the +x axis is found as ...

  α = arctan(y/x) = arctan(4.30/10.3) ≈ 22.66°

The angle is about 23°.

__

<em>Additional comment</em>

This vector resides in the first quadrant, so no adjustment of the angle is needed. In other quadrants, 180° may need to be added or subtracted from the angle given by the arctan function to arrive at the correct value. (Some calculators and spreadsheets have an ATAN2(x, y) function that takes signs into account.)

Why is my answer wrong ?
kicyunya [14]
Because it says it’s looking for the ESTIMATED sum. Round your answer to the nearest tenth, and that would be an estimated answer.

Find the difference. express your answer in simplest form. (2s/s^2-4s+4) - (4/s^2-4s+4)
LUCKY_DIMON [66]
To find the difference, we are going to destroy the parenthesis first, and then, we are going to perform the operations. Remember that to destroy a parenthesis preceded by a negative sign (-), you should change the signs of the factors inside the parenthesis:
\frac{2s}{s^2-4s+4} -( \frac{4}{s^2-4s+4} )
\frac{2s}{s^2-4s+4} -\frac{4}{s^2-4s+4}= \frac{2s-4}{s^2-4s+4}

Now we can factor both numerator and denominator and simplify:
\frac{2s-4}{s^2-4s+4} = \frac{2(s-2)}{(s-2)^2} = \frac{2}{s-2}

We can conclude that the difference in simplest form is: \frac{2}{s-2}

A 30% solution of fertilizer is to be mixed with a 70% solution of fertilizer in order to get 40 gallons of a 60% solution. How
Murrr4er [49]

Answer:10 gallons of 30% solution and 30 gallons of 70% solution should be mixed.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of gallons of the 30% solution that should be mixed.

Let y represent the number of gallons of the 70% solution that should be mixed.

The total number of gallons of the mixture to be made is 40. This means that

x + y = 40

The 30% solution of fertilizer is to be mixed with a 70% solution of fertilizer in order to get 40 gallons of a 60% solution. This means that

0.3x + 0.7y = 0.6 × 40

0.3x + 0.7y = 24- - - - - - - - - - - - - -1

Substituting x = 40 - y into equation 1, it becomes

0.3(40 - y) + 0.7y = 24

12 - 0.3y + 0.7y = 24

- 0.3y + 0.7y = 24 - 12

0.4y = 12

y = 12/0.4

y = 30

x = 40 - y = 40 - 30

x = 10
