Answer:

The value of a  = 14

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

(x₁, y₁) = (2, 4)

(x₂, y₂) = (6, a)

(x₃, y₃) = (-1, 1)

A = 9 sq.units

Area of a triangle with vertices (x₁, y₁), (x₂, y₂), and (x₃, y₃) is:

A=\frac{\left|x_1\left(y_2-y_3\right)+x_2\left(y_3-y_1\right)+x_3\left(y_1-y_2\right)\right|}{2}

substituting the values (x₁, y₁) = (2, 4), (x₂, y₂) = (6, a), (x₃, y₃) = (-1, 1), A = 9 in th formula

A=\frac{\left|x_1\left(y_2-y_3\right)+x_2\left(y_3-y_1\right)+x_3\left(y_1-y_2\right)\right|}{2}

9=\frac{\left|2\left(a-1\right)+6\left(1-4\right)+-1\left(4-a\right)\right|}{2}

Multiply both sides by 2

\frac{2\left|2\left(a-1\right)+6\left(1-4\right)-1\left(4-a\right)\right|}{2}=9\cdot \:2

simplify

\left|2\left(a-1\right)+6\left(1-4\right)-1\left(4-a\right)\right|=18

As the area is always positive.

so

2\left(a-1\right)+6\left(1-4\right)-1\cdot \left(4-a\right)=18

2\left(a-1\right)-18-\left(4-a\right)=18

Add 18 to both sides

2\left(a-1\right)-18-\left(4-a\right)+18=18+18

simplify

2\left(a-1\right)-\left(4-a\right)=36

3a-6=36

3a=42

Divide both sides by 3

\frac{3a}{3}=\frac{42}{3}

a=14

Thus, the value of a  = 14

A high-altitude spherical weather balloon expands as it rises, due to the drop in atmospheric pressure. Suppose that the radius
lord [1]
The increase of the radius is a linear increase since we have the constant rate of 0.07 inches per second

The equation for a linear growth/decay is given by the form y=mx+c where m is the rate of increase and c is the value of y when x=0

We have 
m = 0.07 
c=36 when t=0

So the equation is r=0.07t+36

The length of the radius when t=400 seconds is
r=0.07(400)+36
r=64 inches

How do you solve +5=-5a+5
Bogdan [553]
You subtract the number (5) on the other side of the = sign from the number on the side of the = sign. and divide (-5a) by the number you subtracted before. So untimely- 5-5= 0 ÷ -5a = 0

Sketch the area under the standard normal curve over the indicated interval and find the specified area. (Round your answer to f
Angelina_Jolie [31]

Answer:

P(z>1.51) =1-P(Z

And i fwe look into the normalstandar dtable we can find the desired probability:

P(z>1.51) =1-P(Z

And then the The area to the right of z = 1.51 is 0.0655

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we want to find the following probability:

P(z>1.51)

And for this case we can use the normal standard distribution and the complement rule and we have this:

P(z>1.51) =1-P(Z

And i fwe look into the normalstandar dtable we can find the desired probability:

P(z>1.51) =1-P(Z

And then the The area to the right of z = 1.51 is 0.0655
