ANSWER

20 units.

EXPLANATION

We want to find the distance between (-8,-8) and (4,8).

We use the distance formula:

[tex]d = \sqrt{ {(x_2-x_1)}^{2} + {(y_2-y_1)}^{2} } [/tex]

We substitute the points into the formula to get:

[tex]d = \sqrt{ {(4 - - 8)}^{2} + {(8 - - 8)}^{2} } [/tex]

We simplify to get;

[tex]d = \sqrt{ {(12)}^{2} + {(16)}^{2} } [/tex]

[tex]d = \sqrt{144+ 256} [/tex]

[tex]d = \sqrt{400} [/tex]

[tex]d = 20[/tex]

The distance between the two points is 20 units.

Answer:

Distance = 20 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Points to remember

Distance formula

Length of a line segment with end points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) is given by,

Distance = √[(x2 - x1)² + (y2 - y1)²]

To find the distance between give 2 points

Here (x1, y1) = (-8, -8)  and (x2, y2) = (4, 8)

Distance = √[(x2 - x1)² + (y2 - y1)²]

 = √[(4 - -8)² + (8 - -8)²]

 = √[(4 + 8)² + (8 + 8)²]

 = √[12² + 16²] =  √[144 + 256)

  =  √400 = 20

Therefore distance = 20 units

Answer:-(√3)/2, (√2)/2, -√3, and undefined

Step-by-step explanation:

There are two ways you can solve this.  One is with the Pythagorean identity:

sin²θ + cos²θ = 1

The other way is by knowing your unit circle.

1. From the unit circle, we know that cos θ = 1/2 at θ = π/3 and θ = 5π/3.  Since θ is in Quadrant IV, then θ = 5π/3.  sin (5π/3) = -(√3)/2.

We can check our answer using the Pythagorean identity:

sin²θ + cos²θ = 1

sin²θ + (1/2)² = 1

sin²θ + 1/4 = 1

sin²θ = 3/4

sin θ = ±(√3)/2

Since sine is negative in Quadrant IV, sin θ = -(√3)/2.

We can repeat these steps for the other questions.

2. sin θ = (√2)/2 at θ = π/4 and θ = 3π/4.  Since θ is in Quadrant I, θ = π/4.  Therefore, cos θ = (√2)/2.

3. cos θ = -1/2 at θ = 2π/3 and θ = 4π/3.  Since θ is in Quadrant II, θ = 2π/3.  Therefore, sin θ = (√3)/2, and tan θ = sin θ / cos θ = -√3.

4. sin θ = -1 at θ = 3π/2.  Therefore, cos θ = 0.  tan θ = sin θ / cos θ, so tan θ is undefined.

1. sinθ = √3/2, 2. cosθ = √2/2, 3. tanθ = -√3, 4. tanθ is undefined.

1. Given that cosθ=1/2 and θ terminates in Quadrant IV, we can use the Pythagorean identity sin^2θ + cos^2θ = 1 to find sinθ. Substitute the value of cosθ into the equation: sin^2θ + (1/2)^2 = 1. Solve for sinθ: sinθ = ± √(1 - (1/4)) = ± √(3/4) = ± √3/2. Since θ terminates in Quadrant IV, sinθ is positive. Therefore, sinθ = √3/2.

2. Given sinθ=(√2)/2 and θ terminates in Quadrant I, we can again use the Pythagorean identity sin^2θ + cos^2θ = 1 to find cosθ. Substitute the value of sinθ into the equation: (√2/2)^2 + cos^2θ = 1. Solve for cosθ: cosθ = ± √(1 - (1/2)). Since θ terminates in Quadrant I, cosθ is positive. Therefore, cosθ = √(1 - (1/2)) = √(1/2) = 1/√2 = √2/2.

3. Given cosθ=-1/2 and θ terminates in Quadrant II, we can find sinθ using the Pythagorean identity sin^2θ + cos^2θ = 1. Substitute the value of cosθ into the equation: sin^2θ + (-1/2)^2 = 1. Solve for sinθ: sinθ = ± √(1 - (1/4)) = ± √(3/4) = ± √3/2. Since θ terminates in Quadrant II, sinθ is positive. Therefore, sinθ = √3/2. Now, we can find tanθ using the relationship tanθ = sinθ / cosθ. Substitute the values of sinθ and cosθ into the equation: tanθ = (√3/2) / (-1/2) = -√3.

4. Given sinθ=-1 and 0≤θ<2π radians, we can find cosθ using the Pythagorean identity sin^2θ + cos^2θ = 1. Substitute the value of sinθ into the equation: (-1)^2 + cos^2θ = 1. Solve for cosθ: cos^2θ = 1 - 1 = 0. Since 0^2 = 0, cosθ = 0. Now, we can find tanθ using the relationship tanθ = sinθ / cosθ. Substitute the values of sinθ and cosθ into the equation: tanθ = -1 / 0 = undefined.

Step-by-step explanation:

Average number of times a spectator attends a concert in a year

2.9 times

Then the amount of tickets sold "x" for concerts of classical music in a year, will be equal to the number of people attending for the number of times they attend. So:

[tex]x= 30 * 2.9[/tex]

Where "x" is given in units of millions.

[tex]x = 87[/tex]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall that we use the first derivative to discover where a function is increasing or decreasing; it's increasing where the first derivative is + and decreasing where the first derivative is -.

The derivative of y = x^4 - 8x^2 + 16 is  dy/dx = 4x^3 - 16x, or 4x(x^2 - 4).

This can be factored further:  4x(x - 2)(x + 2).

Set this equal to zero and solve for the three critical values:

{-2, 0, 2}.

Set up a total of four intervals:  (-∞, -2), (-2, 0), (0, 2), (2, ∞).

Now choose a test point within each interval:  {-3, -1, 1, 3}.

Evaluate the first derivative, dy/dx, at each of these four test points.  Rule:  if the first derivative is +, we know the function is increasing on that interval; if -, the function is decreasing.

At x = -3, dy/dx = 4x(x - 2)(x + 2) becomes (-)(-)(-), which is -, so we know that the function is decreasing on interval (∞, -2).

At x = -1, dy/dx is (-)(-)(+), which is +, so we know that the function is increasing on (-2, 0).

At x = 1, dy/dx is (+)(-)(+), which is -, so we know that the function is decreasing on (0, 2).

Finally:  at x = 3, dy/dx is (+)(+)(+), so we know that the function is increasing on (2, ∞ ).

Answer:

Part 1) The value of w is 13.3 units

Part 2) The value of x is 10.3 units

The answer is the option

w=13.3, x=10.3

Step-by-step explanation:

see the attached figure with letters to better understand the problem

Part 1) Find the value of w

we know that

In the right triangle ABD

tan(42°)=12/w

Solve for w

w=12/tan(42°)=13.3 units

Part 2) Find the value of x

In the right triangle ABC

tan(27°)=12/(w+x)

(w+x)=12/tan(27°)=23.6 units

(w+x)=23.6 units

Solve for x

x=23.6-w

substitute the value of w

x=23.6-13.3=10.3 units

The measure of side lengths w and w are 13.3 and 10.3 units respectively.

The correct option is A) w = 13.3; x = 10.3

The figures in the image are those of two right triangles.

To solve for the measure of side length w and x, we use the trigonometric ratio:

First, we solve for side length w:

Angle θ = 42 degrees

Opposite to angle θ = 12

Adjacent to angle θ = w

tan(θ) = opposite / adjacent

tan( 42 ) = 12 / w

w = 12 / tan( 42 )

w = 13.3

Now we solve for side length x:

Angle θ = 27 degrees

Opposite to angle θ = 12

Adjacent to angle θ = ( w + x )

tan(θ) = opposite / adjacent

tan( 27 ) = 12 / ( w + x )

( w + x ) = 12 / tan( 27 )

( w + x ) = 23.55

Plug in w = 13.3

13.3 + x = 23.55

x = 23.55 - 13.3

x = 10.3

Therefore, the value of x is 10.3 units

Option A) w = 13.3 and x = 10.3 is the correct answer.

Separate the shape into two figures, a semi circle and a rectangle. Find the area of each and add.

See attached picture:

Answer:  The area of the figure is 29.13 sq. units.

Step-by-step explanation:  We are given to find the area of he figure shown in the graph.

The figure is made up of a triangle and a semi-circle.

Let us divide the figure into two parts, triangle ABC with base BC and altitude AD and the circle with diameter BC as shown in the attached image below.

From the graph, we note that

AD = 5 units  and  BC = 6 units.

Since BC is the diameter of the semicircle, so its radius will be

[tex]r=\dfrac{1}{2}\times BC=\drac{1}{2}\times6=3~\textup{units}.[/tex]

So, the area of the semicircle is given by

[tex]A_{sc}=\dfrac{\pi r^2}{2}=3.14\times \dfrac{3^2}{2}=3.14\times 4.5=14.13~\textup{sq. units}.[/tex]

Also, the area of the triangle ABC is given by

[tex]A_t=\dfrac{1}{2}\times AD\times BC=\dfrac{1}{2}\times5\times6=15~\textup{sq. units}.[/tex]

Therefore, the total area of the figure will be

[tex]A=A_{sc}+A_t=14.13+15=29.13~\textup{sq. units}.[/tex]

Thus, the area of the figure is 29.13 sq. units.

X=9

If we substitute X in this equation, it would say 3*9 which equals 27 subtract 6 and you get 21 which is true.

the value of x that satisfies the equation 3x - 6 = 21 is x = 9.

To find the value of x in the equation 3x - 6 = 21, we need to isolate the variable x on one side of the equation. We can do this by performing inverse operations.

First, we add 6 to both sides of the equation to cancel out the -6 term: 3x - 6 + 6 = 21 + 6, which simplifies to 3x = 27.

Next, we divide both sides of the equation by 3 to isolate x: (3x)/3 = 27/3, resulting in x = 9.

Therefore, the value of x that satisfies the equation 3x - 6 = 21 is x = 9. When we substitute x = 9 back into the equation, we get 3(9) - 6 = 21, which simplifies to 27 - 6 = 21, confirming that x = 9 is indeed the correct solution.

Answer: the height would be 15

Step-by-step explanation:

v= pi*radius^2*height

1215pi mm= pi*9^2*height

1215pi mm= pi*81*height

(divide by pi on both sides, which isolates pi on both sides)

1215 mm= 81*height

(divide by 81 on both sides, which would isolate 81 on the right side of the equation)

1215/81= 15= height

The height of the cylinder is 15 mm.

To find the height of a cylinder, we can use the formula for the volume of a cylinder, which is V = πr²h, where V is the volume, r is the radius, and h is the height.

Given that the volume is 1215π mm and the radius is 9 mm, we can plug these values into the formula and solve for h.

1215π = π(9)²h

Simplifying the equation, we have:

1215 = 81h

Dividing both sides by 81, we find:

h = 15 mm

Therefore, the height of the cylinder is 15 mm.

The realtor receives a 5% commission from the sale of a property. For a property sold at $50,000, the realtor's commission would be $2,500, calculated by multiplying the sale price by the commission rate.

To calculate the amount the realtor receives from the sale of a property when they earn a commission of 5%, you can use the following formula:

Commission = Sale Price * Commission Rate

In this case, the sale price of the property is $50,000 and the commission rate is 5%, which is 0.05 when expressed as a decimal.

Thus, the commission the realtor earns is calculated as follows:

Commission = $50,000 * 0.05

Commission = $2,500

Therefore, the realtor would receive $2,500 from the sale of a property that sells for $50,000.

The answer is:

The father's step is 80 cm

The son's step is 60 cm.

To solve the problem, we need to write equations in order to create a relation between the father's and son's steps, and the distance covered by them.

We know thay they covered 240 meters, and the father's step is 20 cm  (0.2m)greater than his son's step, so, we can write the following relation:

[tex]NumberOfSteps_{Son}=\frac{240m}{x}[/tex]

and,

[tex]NumberOfSteps_{Father}=\frac{240m}{x+0.2m}[/tex]

Now, if the know that the father made 100 fewer steps than his son, we have:

Then, substituting the first equation into the second equation, we have:

[tex]\frac{240m}{x}-\frac{240m}{x+0.2m}=100\\\\\frac{240m(x+0.2m)-240mx}{x(x+0.2m)}=100\\\\240mx+0.2m*240m-240mx=(x)(x+0.2m)*100\\\\48m^{2}=100*(x^{2}+0.2mx)=100x^{2} +20mx\\\\48m^{2}=100x^{2}+20mx\\\\100x^{2}+20mx-48m^{2}[/tex]

So, solving it applying the quadratic formula, we have:

[tex]\frac{-20+-\sqrt{20^{2} -4*100*-48} }{2*100}=\frac{-20+-\sqrt{400+19200} }{200}\\\\\frac{-20+-\sqrt{400+19200} }{200}=\frac{-20+-\sqrt{19600} }{200}\\\\\frac{-20+-\sqrt{19600} }{200}=\frac{-20+-(140)}{200}\\\\x_{1}=\frac{-20+140}{200}=0.6\\\\x_{2}=\frac{-20-140}{200}=-0.8[/tex]

Then, since distance cannot be negative, we need to take the positive value, so, the son's step is 0.6m or 60 cm.

Now, calculating the father's step, we have:

[tex]FatherStep=SonStep+20cm\\\\FatherStep=60cm+20cm=80cm[/tex]

Hence, we have that the father's step is 80 cm.

Have a nice day!

The distance of the father and son will be 80cm and 60cm respectively.

The number of son's step will be:

= 240/x

The number or father's step will be:

= 240/x + 0.2

Solving further, we'll have 100x² - 20mx - 48m² and using quadratic formula, this will be x1 = 0.6 and x2 = -0.8.

The son's step will be:

= 0.6 × 100 = 60cm

The father's step will be:

= 60cm + 20cm = 80cm
