When he was measuring herbs on his balance scale, Neville placed a 1/2 gram weight, then a 1/5 gram weight, and finally a 1/8 gr

am weight before the scale balanced. How much did his herbs weigh?

Answer:  \dfrac{33}{40}\ gm

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Neville place three weights in the sequence

\dfrac{1}{2}\ gm,\dfrac{1}{5}\ gm,\dfrac{1}{8}\ gm

The total weight of the three weights is

\Rightarrow \dfrac{1}{2}+\dfrac{1}{5}+\dfrac{1}{8}=\dfrac{20+8+5}{40}\\\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{33}{40}\ gm

Thus, herbs weigh  \frac{33}{40}\ gm

Find the 84th percentile
morpeh [17]

Answer:

Roughly speaking, in a normal distribution, a score that is 1 s.d. above the mean is equivalent to the 84th percentile. ... In other words, roughly 95 percent of students are within two standard deviations – positive or negative – of the average

Third leg.

The crew flies at a speed of 560 mi/h in direction N-20°-E.

The wind has a speed of 35 mi/h and a direction S-10°-E.

We then can draw this as:

We have to add the two vectors to find the actual speed and direction.

We will start by adding the x-coordinate (W-E axis):

\begin{gathered} x=560\cdot\sin (20\degree)+35\cdot\sin (10\degree) \\ x\approx560\cdot0.342+35\cdot0.174 \\ x\approx191.53+6.08 \\ x\approx197.61 \end{gathered}

and the y-coordinate (S-N axis) is:

\begin{gathered} y=560\cdot\cos (20\degree)-35\cdot\cos (10\degree) \\ y\approx560\cdot0.940-35\cdot0.985 \\ y\approx526.23-34.47 \\ y\approx491.76 \end{gathered}

Then, the actual speed vector is v3=(197.61, 491.76).

The starting location for the third leg is R2=(216.66, 167.67) [taken from the previous answer].

Then, we have to calculate the displacement in 20 minutes using the actual speed vector.

We can calculate the movement in each of the axis. For the x-axis:

\begin{gathered} R_{3x}=R_{2x}+v_{3x}\cdot t \\ R_{3x}=216.66+197.61\cdot\frac{1}{3} \\ R_{3x}=216.66+65.87 \\ R_{3x}=282.53 \end{gathered}

NOTE: 20 minutes represents 1/3 of an hour.

We can do the same with the y-coordinate:

\begin{gathered} R_{3y}=R_{2y}+v_{3y}\cdot t \\ R_{3y}=167.67+491.76\cdot\frac{1}{3} \\ R_{3y}=167.67+163.92 \\ R_{3y}=331.59 \end{gathered}

The final position is R3 = (282.53, 331.59).

To find the distance from the origin and direction, we transform the cartesian coordinates of R3 into polar coordinates:

The distance can be calculated as if it was a right triangle:

\begin{gathered} d^2=x^2+y^2_{} \\ d^2=282.53^2+331.59^2 \\ d^2=79823.20+109951.93 \\ d^2=189775.13 \\ d=\sqrt[]{189775.13} \\ d\approx435.63 \end{gathered}

The angle, from E to N, can be calculated as:

\begin{gathered} \tan (\alpha)=\frac{y}{x} \\ \tan (\alpha)=\frac{331.59}{282.53} \\ \tan (\alpha)\approx1.1736 \\ \alpha=\arctan (1.1736) \\ \alpha=49.56\degree \end{gathered}

If we want to express it from N to E, we substract the angle from 90°:

\beta=90\degree-\alpha=90-49.56=40.44\degree

Answer: the final location can be represented with the vector (282.53, 331.59).

1) The distance from the origin is 435.63 miles and

2) the direction is N-40°-E.

Nter the equation of the line in slope-intercept form.<br><br> Slope is 6, and (1, 3)
kupik [55]

Answer:

The equation in the slope-intercept form will be:

y=6x-3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

  • slope = m = 6
  • point = (1, 3)

As we know that the equation of a line in point-slope form is

y-y_1=m\left(x-x_1\right)

substituting the values m = 6 and point = (1, 3)

y-3=6\left(x-1\right)

Writing the equation in slope-intercept form

y=mx+b

where m is the slope, and b is the y-intercept

so the equation of the line in slope-intercept form becomes

y-3=6\left(x-1\right)

add 3 to both sides

y-3+3=6\left(x-1\right)+3

y=6x-3

Therefore, the equation in the slope-intercept form will be:

y=6x-3
