To begin with, you need to find the total number of pencils, which is 21.
Then you subtract 21 from 6 (red pencils) to find how many are not red.

The answer is B. 15 pencils are not red.

The depth of a lake in Lexington changes over time due to rainfall and evaporation. A few months ago, the depth was 1,300 feet.

SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Answer:

The Depth of the lake had increased by 19%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Depth of lake few months ago = 1300 ft

depth of lake currently = 1547 ft

We need to find the percent of increase in depth of lake.

Solution:

First we will find the increase in depth of lake.

Increase in depth of lake can be calculated by subtracting Depth of lake few months ago from depth of lake currently.

framing in equation form we get;

increase in depth of lake = $1547-1300= 247\ ft$

Now to find the percent of increase in depth of lake we will divide increase in depth of lake from Depth of lake few months ago and then multiply by 100.

framing in equation form we get;

percent of increase in depth of lake = $\frac{247}{1300}\times 100 = 19\%$

Hence the Depth of the lake had increased by 19%.

X) sec’A + cosec?A<br>secA. cosecA

VikaD [51]

Answer:

(Sin A + Cos A)/Sin A. Cos A

Step-by-step explanation:

As we know

Sec A = 1/Cos A

and Cosec A = 1/Sin A

Given Equation

Sec A + Cosec A

Substituting the given values, we get -

1/cos A + 1/Sin A

(Sin A + Cos A)/Sin A. Cos A

interpret r(t) as the position of a moving object at time t. Find the curvature of the path and determine thetangential and norm

Igoryamba

Answer:

The curvature is $\kappa=1$

The tangential component of acceleration is $a_{\boldsymbol{T}}=0$

The normal component of acceleration is $a_{\boldsymbol{N}}=1 (2)^2=4$

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the curvature of the path we are going to use this formula:

$\kappa=\frac{||d\boldsymbol{T}/dt||}{ds/dt}$

where

$\boldsymbol{T}}$ is the unit tangent vector.

$\frac{ds}{dt}=|| \boldsymbol{r}'(t)}||$ is the speed of the object

We need to find $\boldsymbol{r}'(t)$ , we know that $\boldsymbol{r}(t)=cos \:2t \:\boldsymbol{i}+sin \:2t \:\boldsymbol{j}+ \:\boldsymbol{k}$ so

$\boldsymbol{r}'(t)=\frac{d}{dt}\left(cos\left(2t\right)\right)\:\boldsymbol{i}+\frac{d}{dt}\left(sin\left(2t\right)\right)\:\boldsymbol{j}+\frac{d}{dt}\left(1)\right\:\boldsymbol{k}\\\boldsymbol{r}'(t)=-2\sin \left(2t\right)\boldsymbol{i}+2\cos \left(2t\right)\boldsymbol{j}$

Next , we find the magnitude of derivative of the position vector

$|| \boldsymbol{r}'(t)}||=\sqrt{(-2\sin \left(2t\right))^2+(2\cos \left(2t\right))^2} \\|| \boldsymbol{r}'(t)}||=\sqrt{2^2\sin ^2\left(2t\right)+2^2\cos ^2\left(2t\right)}\\|| \boldsymbol{r}'(t)}||=\sqrt{4\left(\sin ^2\left(2t\right)+\cos ^2\left(2t\right)\right)}\\|| \boldsymbol{r}'(t)}||=\sqrt{4}\sqrt{\sin ^2\left(2t\right)+\cos ^2\left(2t\right)}\\\\\mathrm{Use\:the\:following\:identity}:\quad \cos ^2\left(x\right)+\sin ^2\left(x\right)=1\\\\|| \boldsymbol{r}'(t)}||=2\sqrt{1}=2$

The unit tangent vector is defined by

$\boldsymbol{T}}=\frac{\boldsymbol{r}'(t)}{||\boldsymbol{r}'(t)||}$

$\boldsymbol{T}}=\frac{-2\sin \left(2t\right)\boldsymbol{i}+2\cos \left(2t\right)\boldsymbol{j}}{2} =\sin \left(2t\right)+\cos \left(2t\right)$

We need to find the derivative of unit tangent vector

$\boldsymbol{T}'=\frac{d}{dt}(\sin \left(2t\right)\boldsymbol{i}+\cos \left(2t\right)\boldsymbol{j}) \\\boldsymbol{T}'=-2\cdot(\sin \left(2t\right)\boldsymbol{i}+\cos \left(2t\right)\boldsymbol{j})$

And the magnitude of the derivative of unit tangent vector is

$||\boldsymbol{T}'||=2\sqrt{\cos ^2\left(x\right)+\sin ^2\left(x\right)} =2$

The curvature is

$\kappa=\frac{||d\boldsymbol{T}/dt||}{ds/dt}=\frac{2}{2} =1$

The tangential component of acceleration is given by the formula

$a_{\boldsymbol{T}}=\frac{d^2s}{dt^2}$

We know that $\frac{ds}{dt}=|| \boldsymbol{r}'(t)}||$ and $||\boldsymbol{r}'(t)}||=2$

$\frac{d}{dt}\left(2\right)\: = 0$ so

$a_{\boldsymbol{T}}=0$

The normal component of acceleration is given by the formula

$a_{\boldsymbol{N}}=\kappa (\frac{ds}{dt})^2$

We know that $\kappa=1$ and $\frac{ds}{dt}=2$ so

$a_{\boldsymbol{N}}=1 (2)^2=4$
