What percentage grade should a road have if the angle of elevation of the road is 6 degrees? (The percentage grade is defined as

the change in the altitude of the road over a 100-foot horizontal distance. For example a 5% grade means that the road rises 5 feet for every 100 feet of horizontal distance.)

Answer:

  10.5%

Step-by-step explanation:

The tangent of the angle is the ratio of rise to run.

  tan(angle) = grade

  tan(6°) ≈ 0.105 = 10.5%

The grade will be 10.5% for an angle of elevation of 6°.

Make y the subject of the formula x=a-2by squared
Dominik [7]

Answer:

y = ± \sqrt{\frac{a-x}{2b} }

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

x = a - 2by² ( subtract a from both sides )

x - a = - 2by² ( multiply through by - 1 to clear the leading negative )

a - x = 2by² ( divide both sides by 2b )

\frac{a-x}{2b} = y² ( take the square root of both sides )

y = ± \sqrt{\frac{a-x}{2b} }

Ava bought some pens for $ 2 each and some pencils for $ 1 each. She bought 3 more pens than pencils and spent a total of $ 12.
Rudiy27

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

price of 1 pen= $ 2

price of 1 pencil= $1

total money spent= $12

Let the number of pen be a and number of pencil be b.

 2 a + b = 12   ----------------Equation 1

We have, she bought 3 more pens than pencils

  a - b = 3   ------------------  Equation 2

 Equation 1 +Equation 2,  

   2 a + b +  a - b = 12 + 3

                     3a = 15

                     a = 5

 Substituting in  equation

           5 - b = 3

               b = 2

 Number pencils Ava bought = 2
