Answer:

a=7

Step-by-step explanation:

first subtract 4a from each side

6a-4a-8=6

than add 8 to each side

6a-4a=6+8

combine like terms

2a=14

divide both sides by 2

a=7

Simplifying
6a + -8 = 4a + 6

Reorder the terms:
-8 + 6a = 4a + 6

Reorder the terms:
-8 + 6a = 6 + 4a

Solving
-8 + 6a = 6 + 4a

Solving for variable 'a'.

Move all terms containing a to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-4a' to each side of the equation.
-8 + 6a + -4a = 6 + 4a + -4a

Combine like terms: 6a + -4a = 2a
-8 + 2a = 6 + 4a + -4a

Combine like terms: 4a + -4a = 0
-8 + 2a = 6 + 0
-8 + 2a = 6

Add '8' to each side of the equation.
-8 + 8 + 2a = 6 + 8

Combine like terms: -8 + 8 = 0
0 + 2a = 6 + 8
2a = 6 + 8

Combine like terms: 6 + 8 = 14
2a = 14

Divide each side by '2'.
a = 7

Simplifying
a = 7

Es 18 de junio de 1815, las tropas napoleónicas se encuentran justo adelante, tu eres el ingeniero en balística y el general Wel

Airida [17]

Answer:

89.1° or -1.4°

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Location:

You are on the Mont-Saint-Jean escarpment, near the Belgian town of Waterloo.

The French troops are about 50 m below you and 1.2 km distant.

2. Finding the firing angle

Data:

R = 1200 m

u = 600 m/s

h = -50 m (the height of the target)

a = 9.8 m/s²

We have two conditions.

Horizontal distance

(1) 1200 = 600t cosθ

Vertical distance

(2) -50 = 600t sinθ - 4.9t²

Divide each side of (1) by 600cosθ.

$(3) \, t =\dfrac{2}{\cos \theta}$

Substitute (3) into (2)

$-50 = 600t \sin \theta - 4.9t^{2} = 600 \left( \dfrac{2}{\cos \theta} \right ) \sin \theta - 4.9 \left( \dfrac{2}{\cos \theta} \right )^{2}\\\\(4) \, -50 = 1200 \tan \theta - \dfrac{19.6}{\cos^{2} \theta}$

Recall that

(5) sec²θ = 1/cos²θ = tan²θ + 1

Substitute (5) into (4)

$-50 = 1200 \tan \theta - 19.6 \left(\tan^{2} \theta}+ 1\right )$

Set up a quadratic equation

$\begin{array}{rcl}-50 & = & 1200 \tan \theta - 19.6\tan^{2} \theta -19.6 \\0 & = & 1200 \tan \theta - 19.6\tan^{2} \theta + 30.4\\0 & =&19.6\tan^{2} \theta - 1200 \tan \theta - 30.4\\0 & =&\tan^{2} \theta - 61.224 \tan \theta - 1.551\\\end{array}$

Solve for θ

Use the quadratic formula.

tanθ = 61.249 or -0.025

θ = arctan(61.249) = 89.1° or

θ = arctan(-0.025) = -1.4°

A Cepheid variable star is a star whose brightness alternately increases and decreases. For a certain star, the interval between

sattari [20]

Answer:

$B'(t) = \dfrac{0.9\pi}{4.4}\cos\bigg(\dfrac{2\pi t}{4.4}\bigg)$

b) 0.09

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

$B(t) = 4.2 +0.45\sin\bigg(\dfrac{2\pi t}{4.4}\bigg)$

where B(t) gives the brightness of the star at time t, where t is measured in days.

a) rate of change of the brightness after t days.

$B(t) = 4.2 +0.45\sin\bigg(\dfrac{2\pi t}{4.4}\bigg)\\\\B'(t) = 0.45\cos\bigg(\dfrac{2\pi t}{4.4}\bigg)\times \dfrac{2\pi}{4.4}\\\\B'(t) = \dfrac{0.9\pi}{4.4}\cos\bigg(\dfrac{2\pi t}{4.4}\bigg)$

b) rate of increase after one day.

We put t = 1

$B'(t) = \dfrac{0.9\pi}{4.4}\cos\bigg(\dfrac{2\pi t}{4.4}\bigg)\\\\B'(1) = \dfrac{0.9\pi}{4.4}\bigg(\cos(\dfrac{2\pi (1)}{4.4}\bigg)\\\\B'(t) = 0.09145\\B'(t) \approx 0.09$

The rate of increase after 1 day is 0.09
