Find all values of a such that (a-3)/sqrta=-sqrta

Mathematics
1 answer:
Mariana [72]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

From the Pythagorean theorem...

 

[ distance between (a, 7)  and  (2, 1) ]2   =   [a - 2]2  +  [7 - 1]2

 

And they tell us that the distance equals  3√5  , so

 

[  3√5 ]2   =   [a - 2]2  +  [7 - 1]2

 

45   =   [a - 2]2  +  36

 

9   =   [a - 2]2

 

±√9  =   a - 2

 

± 3   =   a - 2

 

± 3  +  2   =   a

 

a  =  3 + 2  =  5          or          a = -3 + 2  =  -1

 

and

 

5  +  -1   =   4

Step-by-step explanation:

hope dis helps

A circle whose center is the origin passes through the point (-5,12). Which point also lies on this circle?
schepotkina [342]
The answer is B(11, 2sqrt(12) )
proof

the main equation of the circle is   (x-x1)²+(y-y1)²=R²
where C(x1, y1) is the center 
so if the center is the origin, it is O(0,0), and the equation becomes
<span>  (x)²+(y)²=R²
</span>and the circle passes through the point (-5,2) so we can write 
(-5)²+12²=R², it implies R= sqrt(25+144)=sqrt(169)=13

and  for <span>B(11, 2sqrt(12) )     </span>11²+  (2sqrt(12))²= 121 + 48= 169= 13
it is checked.

2x+14= -21-5x<br> Need to find out what x is but a step by step explanation please
adoni [48]
Notice how on both sides of the equation there is one coefficient (number being multiplied by x) and a constant (just a plain number). You want all constants to be on one side and all coefficients on the other. He’s how do to that:
2x+14=-21-5
I am choosing that all constants will be on the right side, so I will do the inverse operation of any constant on the left side to remove it. Here, a constant on the left side is 14. I will subtract 14 from both sides of the equation. Positive 14 minus 14 is zero, so it cancels out and removes it.
2x+14-14 = -21-5x
2x = -35-5x
See how the 14 is now gone? The equation looks much simpler now. Okay next, you can see that there is a coefficient on the “constant side” that I’ve chosen, so I am going to remove that. Negative 5 plus positive 5 equals zero. Do this on both sides of the equation.
2x+5x = -35-5x+5x
7x = -35
Now the equation is just two numbers. All that is left to do is divide by the last coefficient, 7, in this case.
7x/7 = -35/7
x = -5

What is minutes spent on homework
Eduardwww [97]
It appears that you have here a list of the # of minutes spent each day on HW, and that y ou need to sum up this list to answer the question.  Unfortunately I cannot read the last numeral.

The answer (assuming that my guess is correct) would be found as follows:

Total hours spent on HW in one week = (18+20+22+11+19+18+ ?? )

A pilot flew a 400-mile flight in 2.5 hours flying into the wind. Flying the same rate and with the same wind speed, the return
zheka24 [161]

Answer:

20 miles per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

traveling against the wind was 160mph (400/2.5)

traveling with the wind was 200mph (400/2)

going against the wind is going in the negative direction of the wind speed, and going with the wind is going in a positive direction of the wind speed, therefore the wind speed is |direction1-direction2|/2, which would be |200-160|/2 = |40|/2 = 20mph

(180mph is neutral speed with no wind, with wind affecting this neutral speed ±20mph)
