Answer: 12 pounds.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we'll use the direct proportion which is.

y = kx

Where,

y = weight on moon = 48 pounds

x = weight on Earth = 300 pounds

k = Unknown

y = kx

48 = 300k

k = 48/300

k = 0.16

The weight that a 75 pound object on Earth would weigh on the moon will be:

y = kx

where,

y = weight on moon = Unknown

k = 0.16

x = weight on Earth = 75 pounds

y = kx

y= 0.16 × 75

y = 12 pounds

The weight on the moon will be 12 pounds.

Find the coordinates of the third vertex that completes the construction of a right triangle on the coordinate plane.
Neko [114]

Answer:

<u>(7,a) Where a ∈ R - {7}</u>

<u>OR</u>

<u>(-2,a) where a ∈ R - {-2}</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

The coordinates of the given line from the right to the left are:

(7,1) and (-2,1)

So, to make a right triangle, we need to make a right angle or by another words, we need to a make a perpendicular line to the given line (i.e: a vertical line parallel to the y-axis at one of the given points)

So, the third vertex must be on the line x=7 or x=-2

So, the coordinates of the third vertex is:

<u>(7,a) Where a ∈ R - {7}</u>

<u>OR</u>

<u>(-2,a) where a ∈ R - {-2}</u>

At what point on the curve x^2 + y^2 = 9 is the tangent line vertical?
Gemiola [76]

x² + y² = 9 is the equation of a circle with center (0, 0) and radius 3.

This puts the vertices at (-3, 0), (3, 0), (0, -3), and (0, 3).

When is the tangent line vertical? <em>when it passes through the x-axis.</em>

Answer: (-3, 0), (3, 0)

A clothing store sells a customer 3 T-shirts and 4 pairs of shorts for $83.
ss7ja [257]
3t + 4s = $83
4t + 1s = $50 (x 4)

16t + 4s = $200
3t + 4s = $83 (minus them£

13t = $117 (divide by 13)

t = $9

sub t into first equation.

3 x 9 = 27
27 + 4s = $83
4s = $56
s = $14

t = $9
s = $14
