A beach has two floating docks. One is 650 meters east of the lifeguard stand. The other is 60° southeast and 750 meters from th

e lifeguard stand. Law of cosines: A triangle is created between a lifeguard stand and 2 floating docks. The distance from the lifeguard stand to one dock is 750 meters, and the distance to the second dock is 650 meters. The angle between the 2 sides is 60 degrees. Rounded to the nearest meter, what is the distance between the docks? Round to the nearest meter. 589 meters 705 meters 792 meters 861 meters

Answer:

705 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

cos~60=\frac{650^2+750^2-d^2}{2 \times 650  \times 750} \\2 \times 650 \times 750 \times \frac{1}{2}=50^2(13^2+15^2)-d^2 \\487500=2500(169+225)-d^2\\487500=2500(394)-d^2\\487500=985000-d^2\\487500-985000=-d^2\\d^2=497500\\d=\sqrt{497500}\\or~d\approx705.337 \approx 705~meters

Help! this is algebra 1 and idk how to do it lol
Morgarella [4.7K]

Answer:

a. x+6 = 0

b. y-2 = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Given point is:

(-6,2)

<u>a. Line perpendicular to x-axis:</u>

A line perpendicular to x-axis means that the line is vertical and parallel to y-axis. Any equation parallel to y-axis has the form

x = k

where k is the x-coordinate of the point from which the line passes.

So the required equation is:

x = -6\\x+6 = 0

<u>b. Line perpendicular to y-axis:</u>

A line perpendicular to y-axis will be a horizontal line parallel to x-axis having the equation of the form

y = b

where b is the y-intercept

Required equation is:

y = 2\\y-2=0

Hence,

a. x+6 = 0

b. y-2 = 0

Suppose a scientist reported the following data regarding the presence bacteria during the first four hours of testing for a new
OlgaM077 [116]

The recursive geometric sequence that models this situation is:

f(n) = 0.9f(n-1)

f(1) = 90000

<h3>What is a geometric sequence?</h3>

A geometric sequence is a sequence in which the result of the division of consecutive terms is always the same, called common ratio q.

It can be represented by a recursive sequence as follows:

f(n) = qf(n-1)

With f(1) as the first term.

In this problem, the sequence is: 90.000: 81,000; 72,900; 65,610, hence:

q = \frac{65610}{72900} = \cdots = \frac{81000}{90000} = 0.9

f(1) = 90000

Hence:

f(n) = 0.9f(n-1)

f(1) = 90000

Find ten rational numbers between -2/3 and 2/3
Mama L [17]

Answer:

-2/3= -20/30

2/3 = 20/30

so rational numbers in between are

-19/30, -18/30, -17/30,........ -1/30, 0,+1/30,.............+17/30, +18/30, +19/30

so you can write as many as you like

Write this expression so that its denominator, if any, is a positive integer.<br> 2/(3+sqrt(7))
Tanzania [10]

Answer:

The Answer is 3 - sqrt7

Step-by-step explanation:

2/3 + sqrt7   the starting equation

You multiply it by the conjugate which is 3 - sqrt7

= 2(3 - sqrt7) / (3 + sqrt7) (3 - sqrt7)  the equation after you multiply by 3 - sqrt7

(3 + sqrt7) (3 - sqrt7) = 2

= 2(3 - sqrt7) / 2    the equation after you simplify (3 + sqrt7) (3 - sqrt7)

Divide out the 2's

= 3 - sqrt7/1    the equation after you divide out the 2's

= 3 - sqrt7  is THE ANSWER
