233 1/3
you start with .3x = 70, as this is the sentence given, solving for x.
divide both sides by .3, and you get x
When it comes to deductive reasoning, it is used to reach a logical solution. You start out with the general statement, or hypothesis, and examine all the possibilities so you can reach the final conclusion.
Inductive reasoning is completely opposite - you focus on specific observations, and then make broad generalizations.
Answer:
√3 is irrational
Step-by-step explanation:
The location of the third point of a triangle can be found using a rotation matrix to transform the coordinates of the given points.
<h3 /><h3>Location of point C</h3>
With reference to the attached figure, the slope of line AC is √3, an irrational number. This means the line AC <em>never passes through a point with integer coordinates</em>. (Any point with integer coordinates would be on a line with rational slope.)
<h3>Equilateral triangle</h3>
The line segments making up an equilateral triangle are separated by an angle of 60°. If two vertices are on grid squares, the third must be a rotation of one of them about the other through an angle of 60°. The rotation matrix is irrational, so the rotated point must have irrational coordinates.
The math of it is this. For rotation of (x, y) counterclockwise 60° about the origin, the transformation matrix is ...
![\left[\begin{array}{cc}\cos(60^\circ)&\sin(60^\circ)\\-\sin(60^\circ)&\cos(60^\circ)\end{array}\right] \left[\begin{array}{c}x\\y\end{array}\right]=\left[\begin{array}{c}x'\\y'\end{array}\right]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bcc%7D%5Ccos%2860%5E%5Ccirc%29%26%5Csin%2860%5E%5Ccirc%29%5C%5C-%5Csin%2860%5E%5Ccirc%29%26%5Ccos%2860%5E%5Ccirc%29%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D%20%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bc%7Dx%5C%5Cy%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D%3D%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bc%7Dx%27%5C%5Cy%27%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D)
Cos(60°) is rational, but sin(60°) is not. For any non-zero rational values of x and y, the sum ...
cos(60°)·x + sin(60°)·y
will be irrational.
As in the attached diagram, if one of the coordinates of the rotated point (B) is zero, then one of the coordinates of its image (C) will be rational. The other image point coordinate cannot be rational.
In each table, the x-values differ by 6. A linear function will also have a constant difference of y-values. Only the 4th table has that.
(x, y) = (-6, -3), (0, 2), (6, 7), (12, 12)
_____
An increase in x by 6 produces an increase in y by 5. The slope of this linear function is 5/6. In slope-intercept form, the equation is y = (5/6)x + 2.
Answer: First option: 800 feet
Solution:
Height: h=400 sqrt(3)
Distance between the zoo and the point in the ground below the helicopter: d1=?
Distance between the library and the point in the ground below the helicopter: d2=?
Distance between the zoo and the library: d=?
d=d2-d1
tan 60°= h/d1
sqrt(3)=400 sqrt(3) / d1
Solving for d1:
sqrt(3) d1 = 400 sqrt(3)
d1= 400 sqrt(3) / sqrt(3)
d1=400
tan 30°= h/d2
sqrt(3) / 3=400 sqrt(3) / d2
Solving for d2: Cross multiplication:
sqrt(3) d2 = 3 [ 400 sqrt(3) ]
sqrt(3) d2 = 1,200 sqrt(3)
d2= 1,200 sqrt(3) / sqrt(3)
d2=1,200
d=d2-d1
d=1,200 feet - 400 feet
d=800 feet
