Answer:

(a) 6 units

(b) 4 units

(d) 9.22 units

(e) 7.21 units

(f) 8.06 units

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance d from one point (x₁, y₁, z₁) to another point (x₂, y₂, z₂) is given by;

d = √[(x₂ - x₁)² + (y₂ - y₁)² + (z₂ - z₁)²]

Now from the question;

(a) The distance from (4, -7, 6) to the xy-plane

The xy-plane is the point where z is 0. i.e

xy-plane = (4, -7, 0).

Therefore, the distance d is from (4, -7, 6) to (4, -7, 0)

d = √[(4 - 4)² + (-7 - (-7))² + (0 - 6)²]

d = √[(0)² + (0)² + (-6)²]

d = √(-6)²

d = √36

d = 6

Hence, the distance to the xy plane is 6 units

(b) The distance from (4, -7, 6) to the yz-plane

The yz-plane is the point where x is 0. i.e

yz-plane = (0, -7, 6).

Therefore, the distance d is from (4, -7, 6) to (0, -7, 6)

d = √[(4 - 0)² + (-7 - (-7))² + (6 - 6)²]

d = √[(4)² + (0)² + (0)²]

d = √(4)²

d = √16

d = 4

Hence, the distance to the yz plane is 4 units

(c) The distance from (4, -7, 6) to the xz-plane

The xz-plane is the point where y is 0. i.e

xz-plane = (4, 0, 6).

Therefore, the distance d is from (4, -7, 6) to (4, 0, 6)

d = √[(4 - 4)² + (-7 - 0)² + (6 - 6)²]

d = √[(0)² + (-7)² + (0)²]

d = √[(-7)²]

d = √49

d = 7

Hence, the distance to the xz plane is 7 units

(d) The distance from (4, -7, 6) to the x axis

The x axis is the point where y and z are 0. i.e

x-axis = (4, 0, 0).

Therefore, the distance d is from (4, -7, 6) to (4, 0, 0)

d = √[(4 - 4)² + (-7 - 0)² + (6 - 0)²]

d = √[(0)² + (-7)² + (6)²]

d = √[(-7)² + (6)²]

d = √[(49 + 36)]

d = √(85)

d = 9.22

Hence, the distance to the x axis is 9.22 units

(e) The distance from (4, -7, 6) to the y axis

The x axis is the point where x and z are 0. i.e

y-axis = (0, -7, 0).

Therefore, the distance d is from (4, -7, 6) to (0, -7, 0)

d = √[(4 - 0)² + (-7 - (-7))² + (6 - 0)²]

d = √[(4)² + (0)² + (6)²]

d = √[(4)² + (6)²]

d = √[(16 + 36)]

d = √(52)

d = 7.22

Hence, the distance to the y axis is 7.21 units

(f) The distance from (4, -7, 6) to the z axis

The z axis is the point where x and y are 0. i.e

z-axis = (0, 0, 6).

Therefore, the distance d is from (4, -7, 6) to (0, 0 6)

d = √[(4 - 0)² + (-7 - (0))² + (6 - 6)²]

d = √[(4)² + (-7)² + (0)²]

d = √[(4)² + (-7)²]

d = √[(16 + 49)]

d = √(65)

d = 8.06

Hence, the distance to the z axis is 8.06 units

jalil and Victoria are each asked to solve the equation ax – c = bx + d for x. Jalil says it is not possible to isolate x becaus

Pie

Answer:

$x = \frac{d+c}{a - b}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation: $ax – c = bx + d$

Jalil says it is not possible to isolate x because x has a different unknown coefficient.

Victoria t. Victoria believes there is a solution

Solving the equation:

$ax-c = bx + d$

$ax - bx= d+c$

$(a - b)x = d+c$

$x = \frac{d+c}{a - b}$

So, this shows x can be isolated .

Victoria was right .

It was not possible to isolate x if the coefficients of x would be same .

But in the given equation the coefficients of x are not same .

So, Victoria is right.

Kevin says that lines p and m will eventually intersect. Lines A and B intersect. Plane A contains lines p, m, and n. Line n is

ANTONII [103]

Answer:

No, because they are parallel.

Step-by-step explanation:

The lines $p$ and $m$ will not intersect, so Kevin is not correct.

It is given that planes A and B intersects. The plane A contains the line p, m and n on its plane. The lines p and m are parallel to each other. They are identical and move in the same direction.

Since the line p and m are parallel, they will not meet each other at any point because parallel lines does not intersect or meet at a point, they run parallelly along each other.

So, line p and m will not intersect.

Thus the answer is " No, because they are parallel."

What is the domain of validity for csctheta =start fraction 1 over sine theta end fraction? (1 point) all real numbers all real

dem82 [27]

We know the following relationship:

$csc(\theta)=\frac{1}{sin(\theta)}$

The domain of a function are the inputs of the function, that is, a function $f$ is a relation that assigns to each element $x$ in the set A exactly one element in the set B. The set A is the domain (or set of inputs) of the function and the set B contains the range (or set of outputs).Then applying this concept to our function $csc(\theta)$ we can write its domain as follows:

1. Domain of validity for $csc(\theta)$ :

$D: \{\theta \in R/ sin(\theta) \neq 0 \} \\ In words: All \ \theta \ that \ are \ real \ values \ except \ those \ that \ makes \ sin(\theta)=0$

When:

$sin(\theta)=0$ ?

when:

$\theta=..., -2\pi,-\pi,0,\pi,\2pi,3pi,...,k\pi$

where k is an integer either positive or negative. That is:

$sin(k\theta)=0 \ for \ k=...,-2,-1,0,1,2,3,...$

To match this with the choices above, the answer is:

"All real numbers except multiples of $\pi$ "


2. which identity is not used in the proof of the identity $1+cot^{2}(\theta)=csc^{2}(\theta)$ :

This identity can proved as follows:

$sin^2{\theta}+cos^{2}(\theta)=1 \ Dividing \ by \ sin^{2}(\theta) \\ \\ \therefore \frac{sin^2{\theta}}{sin^{2}(\theta)}+\frac{cos^{2}(\theta)}{sin^{2}(\theta)}=\frac{1}{sin^{2}(\theta)} \\ \\ \therefore 1+cot^{2}(\theta)=csc^{2}(\theta)$

The identity that is not used is as established in the statement above:

"1 +cos squared theta over sin squared theta= csc2theta"

Written in mathematical language as follows:

 $\frac{1+cos^{2}(\theta)}{sin^{2}(\theta)}=csc^{2}(\theta)$

Suppose an automobile manufacturer designed a radically new lightweight engine and wants to recommend the grade of gasoline that

Deffense [45]

Answer:

The F-statistic used to test the hypothesis that the miles per gallon for each fuel are the same is 4.07.

Step-by-step explanation:

There are four treatments in the data given, i.e. k = 4.

Total number of observations, n = 12.

Note: degrees of freedom is denoted as df.

For treatment, the degrees of freedom = k-1 = 4-1 =3 df.

The total degrees of freedom = n-1 = 12-1 = 11 df.

The error in degrees of freedom = df (total) - df(treatment)

The error in degrees of freedom = 11 - 3 = 8 df

At α = 0.05 level,from the F table, the F-statistic with (3 , 8)df is 4.07.

Therefore, the F-statistic used to test the hypothesis that the miles per gallon for each fuel are the same is 4.07.
