Answer:

A (361)

Step-by-step explanation:

A "perfect square trinomial" has the form

ax^2 + 2ab + b^2. If a happens to be 1, which it is in the given x^2 − 19x + c, then 2(1)(b) = - 19. Solving for b, we get b = -19/2.

Then b^2 in the general "perfect square trinomial" is the same as c: (-19/2)^2, or 90.25, or 90 1/4, or 361/4/

Choosing A (361) makes the given expression a perfect square trinomial.

If cos(t) = 2/7 and t is in the 4th quadrant, find sin(t).

Yuliya22 [10]

We can use the Pythagorean Trigonometric Identity which says:
$sin^2(t)+cos^2(t)=1$

Since we need to find sin(t), we have to solve for it:
$sin(t)= \sqrt{1-cos^2(t)}$

Let's plug in the given cos(t) value:
$sin(t) = \sqrt{1-cos^2( \frac{2}{7})}$

And solve sin(t):
$sin(t) = \sqrt{1- \frac{4}{49} } = \frac{x}{y} \sqrt{ \frac{49}{49}- \frac{4}{49} }$

Simplify further:
$sin(t) = \sqrt{ \frac{45}{49} } = \frac{ \sqrt{45} }{7} = \frac{ \sqrt{9*5} }{7}$

And it all simplifies down to:
$sin(t) = \frac{3 \sqrt{5} }{7}$

Since it's in the 4th quadrant, the sin(t) value is going to be negative. So, your final answer is:
$sin(t) = - \frac{ 3\sqrt{5} }{7}$

Hope this helps!

Harvey has “r” red peppers and one fourth as many orange peppers. Choose the expression that shows how many orange peppers Harve

lana [24]

Answer:

$\frac{1}{4}r$

Step-by-step explanation:

The amount of red pepper that Harvey has is r red peppers and one fourth as many orange peppers. What this means is that the number of orange pepper that Harvey has is one fourth the number of red peppers. Since the number of red pepper is r, therefore the number of orange pepper is given as:

Number of orange pepper = $\frac{1}{4} \ of\ red\ pepper(r)$

$Number\ of\ orange\ pepper=\frac{1}{4}r$

explain the relationship between multiplying and dividing by 10 100 1000 and moving decimals point to the right or to the left

ch4aika [34]

So basically a decimal is moved based on how many zeros are in the dividing number

Ex. 51,000/100

because there are 2 zeros in the number one hundred, the decimal in 51,000 gets moved 2 places to the left

So it goes from 51,000 to 510

Ex. 16 * 1000

There are three zeros in the number 1000. This means three zeros will be added onto the number 16

So the answer would be 16,000

Hope this helps!

The rabbit population on a small island is observed to be given by the function P(t) = 130t − 0.3t^4 + 1100 where t is the time

Montano1993 [528]

The maximum occurs when the derivative of the function is equal to zero.
$P(t)=-0.3t^{4}+130t+1100 \\ P'(t)=-1.2t^{3}+130 \\ 0=-1.2t^{3}+130 \\ 1.2t^{3}=130 \\ t^{3}= \frac{325}{3} \\ t=4.76702$
Then evaluate the function for that time to find the maximum population.
$P(t)=-0.3t^{4}+130t \\ P(4.76702)=-0.3*4.76702^{4}+130*4.76702+1100 \\ P(4.76702)=1564.79201$
Depending on the teacher, the "correct" answer will either be the exact decimal answer or the greatest integer of that value since you cannot have part of a rabbit.
