So that AOB makes a right triangle with sides 3-4-5
Answer:
a = 8
Step-by-step explanation:
Calculate AB using the distance formula and equate to 5
d = \(\sqrt{(x_{2}-x_{1})^2+(y_{2}-y_{1})^2 }\)
with (x₁, y₁ ) = A (0, 4 ) and (x₂, y₂ ) = B (3, a )
d = \(\sqrt{(3-0)^2+(a-4)^2}\)
= \(\sqrt{3^2+(a-4)^2}\)
= \(\sqrt{9+(a-4)^2}\) , then
\(\sqrt{9+(a-4)^2}\) = 5 ( square both sides )
9 + (a - 4)² = 5² = 25 ( subtract 9 from both sides )
(a - 4)² = 16 ( take square root of both sides )
a - 4 = 4 ( add 4 to both sides )
a = 8

Find the sum of the geometric series 100+20+…+0.16
Answer:
c) 124.96
Step-by-step explanation:
Geometric series: 100 + 20 + ... + 0.16
First we need to find which term 0.16 is.
General form of a geometric sequence: \(a_n=ar^{n-1}\)
(where a is the first term and r is the common ratio)
To find the common ratio r, divide one term by the previous term:
\(\implies r=\dfrac{a_2}{a_1}=\dfrac{20}{100}=0.2\)
Therefore, \(a_n=100(0.2)^{n-1}\)
Substitute \(a_n=0.16\) into the equation and solve for n:
\(\implies 100(0.2)^{n-1}=0.16\)
\(\implies (0.2)^{n-1}=0.0016\)
\(\implies \ln(0.2)^{n-1}=\ln0.0016\)
\(\implies (n-1)\ln(0.2)=\ln0.0016\)
\(\implies n-1=\dfrac{\ln0.0016}{\ln(0.2)}\)
\(\implies n=\dfrac{\ln0.0016}{\ln(0.2)}+1\)
\(\implies n=5\)
Therefore, we need to find the sum of the first 5 terms.
Sum of the first n terms of a geometric series:
\(S_n=\dfrac{a(1-r^n)}{1-r}\)
Therefore, sum of the first 5 terms:
\(\implies S_5=\dfrac{100(1-0.2^5)}{1-0.2}\)
\(\implies S_5=124.96\)

Given: m∠KAL = 100º
m∠L = 25°, OA = 21
Find: AK, AL, KL
2)
Given: ΔABC, m∠BAC = 77°, AD = 18
AD⊥CB, ∠ C = 18°,
Find: AC, AB, BC
AC = 18 + CB, AB = 18 + AD, BC = AB + AC - CB. The measures of the angles of the triangle are m∠BAC = 77°, ∠C = 18° and m∠A = 95°. The lengths of the sides of the triangle are AD = 18, AC = 18 + CB and AB = 18 + AD. The length of the side KL of the triangle KAL is KL = √(AK² + AL²).
AK = √(21² - (25)²) = 20
AL = √(21² - (20)²) = 25
KL = √(20² + 25²) = 29.7
AC = 18 + CB
AB = 18 + 18 = 36
BC = AB + AC - CB = 36 + 18 - CB = 54 - CB
The given information includes the measures of the angles of ΔABC, m∠BAC = 77°, ∠C = 18° and m∠A = 95°, and the length of the side AD = 18. We know that AD⊥CB, so we can use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the length of CB. We have CB = √(AD² - AC²) = √(18² - 18²) = 0. From this, we can calculate the lengths of the sides of the triangle. AC = 18 + CB = 18. AB = 18 + AD = 36. BC = AB + AC - CB = 54 - CB = 54.
The given information also includes the measure of m∠KAL = 100º and OA = 21. We can use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the lengths of the sides AK, AL, and KL of the triangle KAL. AK = √(OA² - AL²) = √(21² - (25)²) = 20. AL = √(OA² - AK²) = √(21² - (20)²) = 25. KL = √(AK² + AL²) = √(20² + 25²) = 29.7.

If the 100th term of an arithmetic sequence is 609, and its common difference is 6, then
its first term a1=
It’s second term a2=
It’s third term a3=
Answer:
15, 21, 27
Step-by-step explanation:
\(a_n}\) = \(a_{1}\) + (n-1)d
\(a_{n}\) is the number in the sequence we are looking for
\(a_{1}\) This is the first term in the sequence that we do not know and we are looking for
n stands for the number of the term and d is the common difference. We will put in all that we know and solve for the first term.
609 = \(a_{1}\) + (100-1)6
609 =\(a_{1}\) + (99)6
609 = \(a_{1}\) + 594 Subtract 594 from both sides of the equation
15 = \(a_{1}\)
Now that we know that the first term is 15 we just add 6 to get the next term which is 21 and then add 6 again to get the last term 27.

19 + -17 = 2
Answer:
2.-14+6
if you struggle with adding or subtracting negatives and positives you can look at each number by itself. For example// the number 14 is greater than 6 so you know that because 14 is greater than 6 he product of -14 and positive 6 will be negative.
another example//-11+13, disregard the positive and negative and look at the number itself, 13 is greater than 11. Now look at the sign associated with the number, 13 is positive, because the greater number, 13, is positive the product will also be positive

Answer:
It would be 14.2+-5a
Step-by-step explanation:
It would be that because first, u have to add all the numbers with the same variable ad 8 and 4a don't have the same variable, and as you can see the addition sign on 6.2 and they have the same variable so it would be 14.2. Then you would have to find the value of s so 4.2 u wouldn't add it with 9a even though it has the same variable you have to subtract because it has a subtraction sign above it so since 4a came first u subtract 9a from 4a which would give u -5a.

Evaluate the line integral, where C is the given curve. integral_C xe^yz ds, C is the line segment from (0, 0, 0) to (4, 3, 2) Squareroot 29/12(e^6-1)
This line integral represents the evaluation of the function xe^yz along the curve C from point (0, 0, 0) to point (4, 3, To (4, 3, 2).
evaluate the line integral of xe^yz ds along the line segment from (0, 0, 0) to (4, 3, 2), we first need to parameterize the curve.
Let's call the parameter t and define the position vector r(t) = . We can see that the line segment passes through the points (0, 0, 0) and (4, 3, 2), so we can set up the following equations:
x(t) = 4t
y(t) = 3t
z(t) = 2t
We also need to find the differential ds. Since we are dealing with a curve in three dimensions, ds is given by:
ds = sqrt(dx^2 + dy^2 + dz^2) dt
Plugging in our parameterizations, we get:
ds = sqrt((4dt)^2 + (3dt)^2 + (2dt)^2)
ds = sqrt(29) dt
Now we can set up the line integral:
integral_C xe^yz ds = integral_0^1 x(t) e^(y(t)z(t)) ds
Substituting in our parameterizations and ds, we get:
integral_0^1 (4t)(e^(3t*2t)) sqrt(29) dt
We can simplify the exponential term:
e^(3t*2t) = e^(6t^2)
And we can pull out the constant sqrt(29):
integral_0^1 4t e^(6t^2) sqrt(29) dt
This is now a standard integral that we can evaluate using u-substitution. Let u = 6t^2, du = 12t dt. The integral becomes:
(2/3) integral_0^6 e^u du
Evaluating the integral gives:
(2/3) (e^6 - 1)
Multiplying by sqrt(29/12) gives the final answer:
(2/3) sqrt(29/12) (e^6 - 1)
To evaluate the line integral of xe^yz ds along the curve C, which is the line segment from (0, 0, 0) to (4, 3, 2), we first need to parameterize the curve.
Let r(t) be the parameterization of C, where t ranges from 0 to 1:
r(t) = (4t, 3t, 2t)
Now, we can find the derivative of r(t) with respect to t:
r'(t) = (4, 3, 2)
Next, we find the magnitude of r'(t):
|r'(t)| = √(4^2 + 3^2 + 2^2) = √29
Now, we substitute the parameterization into the integral:
integral_C xe^yz ds = integral_0^1 (4t)e^(3t*2t) * |r'(t)| dt
We are given the value of the integral as (sqrt(29)/12)(e^6 - 1), so:
integral_0^1 (4t)e^(6t^2) * √29 dt = (sqrt(29)/12)(e^6 - 1)
This line integral represents the evaluation of the function xe^yz along the curve C from point (0, 0, 0) to point (4, 3, 2).

in the graph of the simple linear regression equation, the parameter ß 1 is the _____ of the true regression line.
In the graph of the simple linear regression equation, the parameter ß1 is the slope of the true regression line.
The simple linear regression equation represents a linear relationship between a dependent variable and an independent variable. It can be written as y = ß0 + ß1x, where ß0 is the intercept and ß1 is the slope of the regression line.
The slope (ß1) determines the rate of change in the dependent variable (y) for each unit change in the independent variable (x). It represents the steepness or inclination of the regression line. The sign of ß1 indicates whether the line has a positive or negative slope, indicating the direction of the relationship between the variables.
Thus, in the context of the simple linear regression equation, the parameter ß1 is the slope of the true regression line.

Resolvemos el sistema de ecuaciones, multiplicamos por -14 a la primera ecuación y por 17 a la segunda ecuación:
(-14) (17X + 18Y = 423)
(17) (14X + 7Y = 231)
Sumamos y despejamos a Y:
-238X - 252Y = -59 976
238X + 119Y = 28.322
0 + 133Y = 31 654
Y = 31 654/133
Y = 238
Entonces el número de grupo de analistas que puede realizar la inducción es 238.
Ahora sustituimos el valor de Y en cualquiera de las ecuaciones y despejamos a X:
17X + 18*231 = 423
17X + 4284 = 423
17X = 4284-423
17X = 3861
X = 3861/17
X = 227

There are 1,152 arrangements of "MATHEMATICS" in which each consonant is adjacent to a vowel.
To find the number of arrangements of the word "MATHEMATICS" in which each consonant is adjacent to a vowel, we can treat the consonants (M, T, H, M, T, C, and S) and vowels (A, E, A, I) as separate groups and arrange them in a way that each group of consonants is next to a group of vowels
We have two groups of vowels (A and E, and A and I) and three groups of consonants (MTHM, TC, and S). We can arrange the two vowel groups in 2! = 2 ways, and then arrange the three consonant groups in 3! = 6 ways. Within each group, the letters can be arranged in a total of 4! = 24 ways for the MTHM group, 2! = 2 ways for the TC group, and 1 way for the S group.

You have already saved $2200. If you invest this money in a savings account with a 1. 55% interest rate compounded annually, how long will it take to earn enough money to go on the trip? Use the compound interest formula A = P (1 + i)n, where A is the accumulated amount, P is the principal, i is the interest rate per year, and n is the number of years. Round your final answer to the nearest tenth
It will take approximately 4.4 years to earn enough money to go on the trip if we invest our 2200 in a savings account with a 1.55% interest rate compounded annually.
First, we need to calculate the amount of money that we need to save in order to cover the cost of the trip. This can be done by subtracting the amount we have already saved from the total cost of the trip:
Total cost of trip = 2500
Amount already saved = 2200
Amount to save = 2500 - 2200 = 300
Next, we can use the compound interest formula to calculate how long it will take to earn 300 with an interest rate of 1.55% compounded annually. We can set up the formula as follows:
A = P(1 + i)n
where:
A = accumulated amount = 300 + 2200 = 2500 (the total cost of the trip)
P = principal = 2200
i = interest rate per year = 1.55%
n = number of years we need to save for
We can now solve for n:
2500 = 2200(1 + 0.0155)n
Divide both sides by 2200:
1.13636 = 1.0155n
Take the natural logarithm of both sides:
ln(1.13636) = n ln(1.0155)
Divide both sides by ln(1.0155):
n = ln(1.13636)/ln(1.0155) ≈ 4.4 years
Therefore, it will take approximately 4.4 years to earn enough money to go on the trip if we invest our 2200 in a savings account with a 1.55% interest rate compounded annually.that we rounded our final answer to the nearest tenth as instructed.

A toy train set includes a train station building which is a scale model of a real building. The area of the front side of the toy building is 1 square foot. The real building’s front side has an area of 400 square feet. If we view the real building as a dilation of the toy, what is the scale factor?
Answer:
The scale factor is 20.
Explanation:
The scale factor is the ratio of the corresponding side lengths (or areas or volumes) of the two similar figures. In this case, we are given the areas of the front sides of the toy building and the real building, and we want to find the scale factor between them.
Let x be the scale factor. Then, the area of the front side of the real building is x^2 times the area of the front side of the toy building. We can set up the equation:
x^2 * 1 square foot = 400 square feet
Solving for x, we get:
x^2 = 400
x = sqrt(400)
x = 20
Therefore, the scale factor between the toy building and the real building is 20.
