A town was concerned about the growing number of harbor seals in their town's bay. They tagged 15 seals and sent them back into

the bay. After two months they checked a sample of 40 seals. Three of the seals in the sample were tagged. Estimate how many seals are in the bay.

Determine if 2x = 14 + y and 4x + 2y = 10 are parallel, perpendicular, or neither.
kozerog [31]

Answer:

Neither

Step-by-step explanation:

To tell if lines are perpendicular or parallel just from the equations, you need to look at the slopes. So get the equations into slop-intercept form

(y = slope * x + y-intercept)

2x = 14 + y

-14          -14

2x - 14 = y    OR     y = 2x - 14

*So the slope of the first equation is 2*

4x + 2y = 10

-4x           -4x

2y = -4x + 10

/2          /2

y = -4/2 + 10

*So the slope is -2*

For the lines to be parallel, the slopes have to be the same. For them to be perpendicular, the slopes have to be opposite (negative is the opposite of positive and vice versa) and reciprocal (A flipped fraction, so the reciprocal of 2 would be 1/2)

Square ABCD is shown with four congruent images such that ABCD FGHI JKLM NOPQ RSTU.
Anettt [7]

Answer:

  • <em><u>RSTU</u></em>

Explanation:

The question states the <em>congruent</em> images:

  • ABCD ≅ FGHI ≅ JKLM ≅ NOPQ ≅ RSTU

The order of the letters matters.

For instance, ABCD ≅ FGHI means that the vertex A is transformed into vertex F, the vertex B is transformed into the vertex G, the vertex C is transformed into vertex H, and the vertex D is transformed into vertex I.

From the images, the square ABCD is just shifted 9 units down to form the square FGHI. No refelection is needed.

As per the square RSTU only a reflection of square ABCE accross the y-axis makes the vertex A into vertex R, the vertex B into the vertex S, the vertex C into the vertex T, and the vertex D into the vertex U.

Let f(x) = |x|, where x can be any real number. Write a formula for the function whose graph is the
andrew11 [14]

Answer:

y = 5f(x)

Please see the picture below

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the function f(x) = |x|, to transform the function y=f(x) with a vertical scaling with scale factor of 5, you should multiply the function by 5 to obtain the result;

y = 5f(x)

Please see the picture below to see a graphic solution.

What is the best approximation of the projection of (5,-1) onto (2,6)?
Hatshy [7]

Answer:

Hence, the scalar projection of \vec a onto \vec b= \frac{\sqrt{10} }{5}, and  the vector projection of \vec a onto \vec b = \frac{1}{5} \hat i+\frac{3}{5} \hat j.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have given two points  (5, -1) and (2, 6).

Let,     \vec a=5\hat {i}-\hat {j}  and  \vec b= 2\hat {i}+6\hat{j} .

and we have calculate the projection of \vec a onto \vec b.

Now,

For the calculation of projection, first we need to calculate the dot product of  \vec a  and \vec b.

\vec a.\vec b=(5\hat {i}-\hat{j}).(2\hat{i}+6\hat{j})

     =10-6

     =4

then, we have to calculate the magnitude of \vec b.

   \mid {\vec {b}}\mid = \sqrt{2^{2}+6^{2}  } = \sqrt{40} = 2\sqrt{10}.

Now, the scalar projection of \vec a onto \vec b = \frac{\vec a.\vec b}{\mid b\mid}

                                                                 = \frac{4}{2\sqrt{10} }\frac{2}{\sqrt{10} } \times\frac{\sqrt{10} }{\sqrt{10} } =\frac{2\sqrt{10} }{10} = \frac{\sqrt{10} }{5}

and the vector projection of \vec a onto \vec b = \frac{\vec a. \vec b}{\mid\vec b \mid^{2} } . \vec b

                                                               = \frac{4}{40} . (2\hat i+ 6\hat j)

                                                                = \frac{1}{5} \hat i+\frac{3}{5} \hat j

Hence, the scalar projection of \vec a onto \vec b= \frac{\sqrt{10} }{5}, and  the vector projection of \vec a onto \vec b = \frac{1}{5} \hat i+\frac{3}{5} \hat j.
