Answer:

b=7

Step-by-step explanation:

5a(2b – 3a) = 40

Let a=4

5*4(2b-3*4) = 40

20(2b-12) = 40

Divide each side by 20

20/20 (2b-12) = 40/20

2b-12 =2

Add 12 to each side

2b-12+12 = 2+12

2b = 14

Divide by 2

2b/2 = 14/2

b = 7

A vector has an x-component of −24.5 units and a y-component of 31.5 units. Find the magnitude and direction of the vector.

jasenka [17]

we are given a vector

whose

x-component is -24.5

so, $v_x=-24.5$

y-component is 31.5

so, $v_y=31.5$

Magnitude:

we can use formula

$|v|=\sqrt{(v_x)^2+(v_y)^2}$

we can plug values

$|v|=\sqrt{(-24.5)^2+(31.5)^2}$

$|v|=39.90614$

Direction:

we can use direction formula

$\theta=tan^{-1}(\frac{v_y}{v_x})$

now, we can plug values

$\theta=tan^{-1}(\frac{31.5}{-24.5})$

$\theta=180-52.12$

$\theta=127.88$ ................Answer

If the point (a, 7) lies on the graph of the equation 5x - y = 8, then a= -3 3 1/5 plz help

aksik [14]

Answer:

a = 3

Substitute the value of point (a,7) in the equation and solve for a

5(a)-7=8

5(a)=8+7

5(a)=15

a = 15/5 = 3

God Bless and stay safe!
