Answer:

The time, t it will take LA and San Francisco to be next to each other is 8,245,614.04 years which is over 8 million years

Step-by-step explanation:

The given parameters are;

The speed with which the pacific plate moved northward relative to the North American plate = 5.7 cm/year = 5.7 × 10⁻⁵ km/year

The distance between current LA and San Francisco = 470 km

From the formula for speed, s, we have

Speed = Distance/Time

Therefore, Time, t = Distance/Speed

The time, t it will take LA and San Francisco to be next to each other is given as follows;

t = (Distance between LA and San Francisco)/(The speed with which the pacific plate)

t = (470 km)/(5.7 cm/year) = 470/(5.7 × 10⁽⁻⁵⁾) = 8245614.04 years

Therefore, the time, t it will take LA and San Francisco to be next to each other is 8245614.04 years.

What is the format of this proof? Given: ∠ABC is a right angle, ∠DBC is a straight angle Prove: ∠ABD is a right angle
satela [25.4K]

Answer:

Given : ∠ABC is a right angle, ∠D BC is a straight angle.

To prove :∠AB D is a right angle.

Proof: ∠ ABC = 90°[ Given]

    ∠ D BC= 180° [ D BC is a straight line]

now, ∠ AB D and ∠ AB C are adjacent angles forming linear pair.

∠ AB D +∠ AB C =180° [By linear pair axiom]

⇒∠ AB D + 90= 180°

⇒∠ AB D=180°-90°

⇒∠ AB D=90°

∠AB D is a right angle

Hence proved.

Find all real numbers on the interval [0.2 t) that satisfy the equation. Use radian measure.
sergejj [24]

Answer:

  x ∈ {2π/3, π, 4π/3} ≈ {2.09440, 3.14159, 4.18879}

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation can be put into standard form by adding 1:

  2cos²(x) +3cos(x) +1 = 0

  (2cos(x) +1)(cos(x) +1) = 0

Values of cos(x) that make this true* are ...

  cos(x) = -1/2 . . . . . . . . . true for x=2π/3, x=4π/3

  cos(x) = -1 . . . . . . . . . . . true for x=π

__

A graphing calculator can be helpful here, too.

_____
