Answer:

x = 3 units

SV = 2 units

Step-by-step explanation:

In $\odot Z$ QR and ST are chords such that:

QR = ST = 4

That is both the chords are equal in measure.

Equal chords are at equal distance from the center of the circle. Therefore,

VZ = UZ

4x - 6 = 6

4x = 6 + 6

4x = 12

x = 12/4

x = 3 units

Since, perpendicular dropped from the center of the circle bisects the chord.

$\therefore SV = \frac{1}{2} ST$

$\therefore SV = \frac{1}{2} \times 4$

$\therefore SV = 2\: units$

Find an equation to show the population of growing bacteria

Oksanka [162]

Answer:

$P=1,000(1.4)^t$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The equation of a exponential growth function is equal to

$P=a(1+r)^t$

where

P is the population

t is the time in years

a is the initial value

r is the rate of change

Looking at the table

For t=0

The value of P=1,000

substitute the value of the ordered pair (0,1,000) in the exponential equation

$1,000=a(1+r)^0\\a=1,000$

The initial value is a=1,000

substitute

$P=1,000(1+r)^t$

For t=1

The value of P=1,400

substitute the value of the ordered pair (1,1,400) in the exponential equation

$1,400=1,000(1+r)^1\\r=1.4-1\\r=0.4\\r=40\%$

therefore

The exponential equation is

$P=1,000(1.4)^t$

Answer:

∠ZVW= 45

∠ZWV = 31

x=1

Step-by-step explanation:

Properties of a Parallelogram ( including diagonals )

Diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other.

The diagonals are cut into two equal parts

Opposite angles are congruent

Given this information we need to find x, ∠ZVW and ∠ ZWV

First lets find x

Like stated previously diagonals cut each other into two equal parts

That being said segment WZ ≅ segment ZY

Knowing this we create an equation

2z-1=1

step 1 add 1 to each side

-1 + 1 cancels out

1 + 1 = 2

now we have 2x = 2

step 2 divide each side by 2

2x/2=x

2/2=1

we're left with x = 1

Now lets find ∠ZVW

∠ZVW and ∠ZXY happen to be opposite angles ( opposite angles are congruent )

This means that because ∠ZXY = 45 ∠ZVW also = 45

Now lets find ∠ZWV

∠ZWV and ∠XYZ happen to be opposite angles ( like stated previously, opposite angles are congruent)

So because ∠XYZ = 31 ∠ZWV also = 31

A pleasure boat sets out for a cruise on a river, sailing upstream 24 miles and then turning around and returning to port. The t

sineoko [7]

Answer:

V(w) = 26 miles/hour

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

V(bu) upstream boat speed V(w) water speed

Speed upstream

V(bu) = 24 /144 ⇒ V(b) = 0,167 miles/min

V(bd) = 24/40 V(bd) = 0,6 miles/min

V(bd) = V(b) + V(w)

0,6 -0,167 = V(w)

V(w) = 0,433 miles/min

or equivalent in miles /hour

V(w) = 25.98 miles/hour

V(w) = 26 miles/hour

1.33 sin 25.0Á = 1.50 sin _ I need this simplified tonight please :(

Drupady [299]

1.33sin(25) = 1.5sin(∅)
sin(∅) = (1.33sin(25) / 1.5)
∅ = sin⁻¹ [ (1.33sin(25)) / 1.5)
∅ = 22.0°

A rectangular lawn has an area of 140 square yards. It’s length is six less than twice the width. What are the width and length

liq [111]

Answer:

The width is 10 and the length is 14.

Step-by-step explanation:

To draw this conclusion, first use the equation A = lw = 140 .

Remember the length is six less than twice the width, in other words, the length equals 2 time the width minus 6: l = 2w - 6

Now you want to substitute numbers in:

140 = (2w - 6)(w)

140 = 2w^2 - 6w

2w^2 - 6w -140 = 0

w^2 - 3w - 70 = 0

Factorable by inspection!

(w - 10)(w + 7) = 0

w = 10

w = -7 (nonsense - ignore)

I = 14
