1. And the meeting house windows, blank and bare, / Gaze at him with a spectral glare.
This is a couplet. You can tell this because there are two lines, a couple, as indicated by the slash between the phrases, as well as the end words rhyming.
2. A glimmer, and then a gleam of light / He springs to the saddle, the bridle he turns / But lingers and gazes, till full on his sight / A second lamp in the belfry burns.
This excerpt, I believe, is meant to highlight the end rhymes. You see, in the first and third lines, the last words rhyme, and the second and fourth lines' last words rhyme.
3. ...the Mystic meeting...
Seeing as how this is so incredibly short, and both "mystic" and "meeting" start with an "m", it is safe to assume that this is meant to highlight an alliteration. An alliteration is when two or more words in a row start with the same letter. A famous alliteration is in the tongue twister, "she sells seashells by the sea shore."
4. ...like a sentinel's thread / The watchful night wind...
This is a simile. Both similes and metaphors compare one thing to something generally more abstract in order to describe it better. In order to tell if something is a simile or a metaphor is to look for the words "like" or "as," because those are used in similes, but not metaphors. Since this uses the word "like," it is safe to assume that this is a simile.

If cot theta= 4/3, find csc theta

Marrrta [24]

Answer: Option d.

Step-by-step explanation:

The trigonometric identity needed is:

$csc^2\theta=cot^2\theta+1$

Knowing that $cot\theta=\frac{4}{3}$ :

Substitute it into $csc^2\theta=cot^2\theta+1$ :

$csc^2\theta=(\frac{4}{3})^2+1$

Simplify the expression:

$csc^2\theta=(\frac{4}{3})^2+1\\\\csc^2\theta=\frac{16}{9}+1\\\\csc^2\theta=\frac{25}{9}$

Solve for $csc\theta$ . Apply square root at both sides of the expression:

$\sqrt{csc^2\theta}=\±\sqrt{\frac{25}{9}}$

$csc\theta=\frac{5}{3}$

Water whose temperature is at 100∘C is left to cool in a room where the temperature is 60∘C. After 3 minutes, the water temperat

Tju [1.3M]

Answer:

21.68 minutes ≈ 21.7 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

$T=60+40e^{kt}$

Initial temperature

T = 100°C

Final temperature = 60°C

Temperature after (t = 3 minutes) = 90°C

Now,

using the given equation

$T=60+40e^{kt}$

at T = 90°C and t = 3 minutes

$90=60+40e^{k(3)}$

$30=40e^{3k}$

$e^{3k}=\frac{3}{4}$

taking the natural log both sides, we get

3k = $\ln(\frac{3}{4})$

3k = -0.2876

k = -0.09589

Therefore,

substituting k in 1 for time at temperature, T = 65°C

$65=60+40e^{( -0.09589)t}$

$5=40e^{( -0.09589)t}$

$e^{( -0.09589)t}=\frac{5}{40}$

$e^{( -0.09589)t}=0.125$

taking the natural log both the sides, we get

( -0.09589)t = ln(0.125)

( -0.09589)t = -2.0794

t = 21.68 minutes ≈ 21.7 minutes

The equation of the graphed line is x+2y=5. what is the x-intercept of the graph?

Stella [2.4K]

The x-intercept is where the graph crosses the x-axis. that happens when y=0.

x = 5

x-intercept is 5

1. What is greenhouse effect?

Mashcka [7]

The heat of the sun penetrates the atmosphere and warms the Earth's surface. The warmed rEarth Radiates and this heat back into the atmosphere.The gases the surround the atmosphere such as carbon dioxide , methane , nitrous oxide and water vapour absorb some of the radiated heat and send it back to the Earth . This trapping of heat from the Sun by excess carbon dioxide and other gases present in the atmosphere is known as the greenhouse effect. The gases involved in the phenomenon are called greenhouse gases.
