Answer:

3 $\frac{2}{7}$ pastries

Step-by-step explanation:

Amount to be shared / number of people sharing

23 / 7

To simplify easily in our heads, we can take 23 and subtract 7. That then becomes a 1. Subtract 7 again, it becomes a 2. We can do this until we have taken all of the wholes (equivalent to 1) out of 23/7. The math for this is shown below.

$\frac{23}{7} =\frac{7 +7 +7+2}{7} =3\frac{2}{7}$

Does the point (-9,-4) satisfy the equation y = x + 5?

ozzi

Answer:

Yes it satisfies the equation

Step-by-step explanation:

Let, P(x,y) = (-9,-4)

Then, x = -9

y = -4

if we use this value in the equation, we will get L.S = R.S ;(-4 = -9 + 5)

So, the point satisfies the equation

Find the angle between the given vectors. Round your answer, in degrees, to two decimal places. u=⟨2,−6⟩u=⟨2,−6⟩, v=⟨4,−7⟩

NISA [10]

Answer:

$\theta = 108.29$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$u =$

$v =$

Required:

Calculate the angle between u and v

The angle $\theta$ is calculated as thus:

$cos\theta = \frac{u.v}{|u|.|v|}$

For a vector

$A =$

$A = a * b$

$cos\theta = \frac{u.v}{|u|.|v|}$ becomes

$cos\theta = \frac{.}{|u|.|v|}$

$cos\theta = \frac{2*6+4*-7}{|u|.|v|}$

$cos\theta = \frac{12-28}{|u|.|v|}$

$cos\theta = \frac{-16}{|u|.|v|}$

For a vector

$A =$

$|A| = \sqrt{a^2 + b^2}$

So;

$|u| = \sqrt{2^2 + 6^2}$

$|u| = \sqrt{4 + 36}$

$|u| = \sqrt{40}$

$|v| = \sqrt{4^2+(-7)^2}$

$|v| = \sqrt{16+49}$

$|v| = \sqrt{65}$

So:

$cos\theta = \frac{-16}{|u|.|v|}$

$cos\theta = \frac{-16}{\sqrt{40}*\sqrt{65}}$

$cos\theta = \frac{-16}{\sqrt{2600}}$

$cos\theta = \frac{-16}{\sqrt{100*26}}$

$cos\theta = \frac{-16}{10\sqrt{26}}$

$cos\theta = \frac{-8}{5\sqrt{26}}$

Take arccos of both sides

$\theta = cos^{-1}(\frac{-8}{5\sqrt{26}})$

$\theta = cos^{-1}(\frac{-8}{5 * 5.0990})$

$\theta = cos^{-1}(\frac{-8}{25.495})$

$\theta = cos^{-1}(-0.31378701706)$

$\theta = 108.288386087$

<em></em> $\theta = 108.29$ <em> (approximated)</em>
