The angle of STV would be 140 degrees.
Since B is perpendicular to A. We can say that the gradient of B will be -1/7 (product of the gradients of 2 perpendicular lines has to be -1).
Now we know that the equation for B is y=-(1/7)x + c with c being the y intercept.
Since the point isnt specified in the question, we could leave the equation like this.
But if there is a given point that B passes through, just plug in the x and y values into their respective places and solve to find c. That should give you the equation for b.
Now, to find the solution of x, we have 2 equations:
1) y=7x+12
2)y=-(1/7)x+c
In this simultaneous equation we see that y is equal to both the expressions. So,
7x+12=-(1/7)x+c
Now, since the value of c is not found, we cannot actually find the value of x, but if we would find c, we could also find x since it would only be a matter of rearranging the equation.
And there you go, that is your solution :)
Yes it is a function. It is a horizontal line.
Every point on this line is of the form (x,4) where x can be any number you want. The y coordinate is fixed at 4 and cannot change. Two points on this line are (0,4) and (1,4). The horizontal line goes through 4 on the vertical y axis.
Why is it a function? Because it is impossible to draw a vertical line through more than one point on the graph of y = 4. The graph passes the vertical line test. Put another way, for any x input, there is exactly one y output.
Side Note: y = 4 is the same as y = 0x+4. Note how its in the form y = mx+b
m = 0 is the slope
b = 4 is the y intercept
Myles ran 2 times what alison ran:
2x21 = 42
Hector ran 5 times as many miles as Myles:
42x5 = 210
therefore Hector ran 210 miles.
Answer:
A)
62/3 = 20.67 hours
B)
60.00 hours
C)
2074.29 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
If we assume the earth is a perfect circle, then in a complete rotation the earth covers 360 degrees or 2π radians.
A)
In 24 hours the earth rotates through an angle of 360 degrees. We are required to determine the duration it takes to rotate through 310 degrees. Let x be the duration it takes the earth to rotate through 310 degrees, then the following proportions hold;
(24/360) = (x/310)
solving for x;
x = (24/360) * 310 = 62/3 = 20.67 hours
B)
In 24 hours the earth rotates through an angle of 2π radians. We are required to determine the duration it takes to rotate through 5π radians. Let x be the duration it takes the earth to rotate through 5π radians, then the following proportions hold;
(24/2π radians) = (x/5π radians)
Solving for x;
x = (24/2π radians)*5π radians = 60 hours
C)
If the diameter of the earth is 7920 miles, then in 24 hours a point on the equator will rotate through a distance equal to the circumference of the Earth. Using the formula for the circumference of a circle we have;
circumference = 2*π*R = π*D
= 7920π miles
Therefore, the speed of the earth is approximately;
(7920π miles)/(24 hours) = 330π miles/hr
The distance covered by a point in 2 hours will thus be;
330π * 2 = 660π miles = 2074.29 miles
