The magnitude of UV is 7

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance formula also called magnitude will be used to calculate the magnitude

So,

Given

(x1,y1) = U(-2,-7)

(x2,y2) = V(-9,-7)

The distance formula is:

$d=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}$

Putting the values

$|UV|=\sqrt{[-9-(-2)]^2+[-7-(-7)]^2}\\=\sqrt{(-9+2)^2+(-7+7)^2}\\=\sqrt{(-7)^2+(0)^2}\\=\sqrt{49}\\=7$

The magnitude of UV is 7

A ramp slopes from a warehouse door down to the street. The height of the ramp is 5 feet, and the ramp ends 10 feet from the bas

Tomtit [17]

If you graph this, your first point will be at (0,5), as the ramp is at the warehouse door but 5 feet up. The second point is (10,0) as it is touching the ground but it's 10 feet away from the warehouse.
To find slope, you do (y2-y1)/(x2-x1).
When substituting in the variables, you get (0-5)/(10-0), which is -5/10, which is simplified to -1/2. Of course, that is when the warehouse is Quadrant II. If you look at it from another point of view, the slope will be positive so your answer is A) 1/2.

Factor completely 3a4y3 − 12a3y2 + 6a2y.

Firlakuza [10]

Step-by-step explanation:

$3a^4y^3-12a^3y^2+6a^2y=(3a^2y)(a^2y^2)-(3a^2y)(4ay)+(3a^2y)(2)\\\\=(3a^2y)(a^2y^2-4ay+2)$

From a point 50m from the base of the Skylon Tower in Niagara Falls, the angle of elevation to the top of

VladimirAG [237]

Answer:

The tower is about 235 m.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the height of the tower

tan θ = opp / adj

tan 78 °= x / 50

x = 50 tan 78 °

x = 235

∴ The tower is about 235 m.

Hope this answer helps you :)

Solve for x 73 =(9/10x)+19

Yuliya22 [10]

$73=(\frac{9}{10}x)+19$

To solve x:

1. Substract 19 in both sides of the equation:

$\begin{gathered} 73-19=(\frac{9}{10}x)+19-19 \\ \\ 54=\frac{9}{10}x \end{gathered}$

2. Multiply both sides of the ewuation by 10/9:

$\begin{gathered} 54\cdot\frac{10}{9}=\frac{9}{10}x\cdot\frac{10}{9} \\ \\ \frac{540}{9}=x \\ \\ 60=x \end{gathered}$ <h2>Then, the value of x is 60 (x=60)</h2>
