Given:

due west: 60 miles

northwest: 85 miles

original point to destination point: 119 miles

Let us use the Law of Cosines to find the angle.

119² = 60² + 85² - [(2*60*85)*cos(x)]

14,161 = 3600 + 7225 - (10,200 * cos(x))

14,161 = 10,825 - 10,200 cos(x)

14,161 - 10,825 = -10,200 cos(x)

3.336 = -10,200 cos(x)
3,336 / -10,200 = cos(x)


-0.3271 = cos(x)

-0.3271 / cos = x

cos^-1 (-0.3271) = x

109.09 = x


109.09° or 109.10° north of west.

The endpoints of JK are J(–25, 10) and K(5, –20). What is the y-coordinate of point L, which divides JK into a 7:3 ratio? a. –16
Andrews [41]

let's say the point dividing JK is say point P, so the JK segment gets split into two pieces, JP and PK

\bf ~~~~~~~~~~~~\textit{internal division of a line segment} \\\\\\ J(-25,10)\qquad K(5,-20)\qquad \qquad \stackrel{\textit{ratio from J to K}}{7:3} \\\\\\ \cfrac{J~~\begin{matrix} P \\[-0.7em]\cline{1-1}\\[-5pt]\end{matrix}~~}{~~\begin{matrix} P \\[-0.7em]\cline{1-1}\\[-5pt]\end{matrix}~~K} = \cfrac{7}{3}\implies \cfrac{J}{K} = \cfrac{7}{3}\implies3J=7K\implies 3(-25,10)=7(5,-20)\\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill

\bf P=\left(\frac{\textit{sum of "x" values}}{\textit{sum of ratios}}\quad ,\quad \frac{\textit{sum of "y" values}}{\textit{sum of ratios}}\right)\\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ P=\left(\cfrac{(3\cdot -25)+(7\cdot 5)}{7+3}\quad ,\quad \stackrel{\textit{y-coordinate}}{\cfrac{(3\cdot 10)+(7\cdot -20)}{7+3}}\right) \\\\\\ P=\left( \qquad ,\quad \cfrac{30-140}{10} \right)\implies P=\left(\qquad ,~~\cfrac{-110}{10} \right)\implies P=(\qquad ,\quad -11)

Julio cubes a number then takes the cube root of the result. He ends up with 20. What number did Julio start with
Vesnalui [34]

Let us say that the number is x.

So the first step that Julio do is to cube the number so that:

x^3

Then the next he did was take cube root of the number, so that:

(x^3)^(1/3)

 

Solving this would result in:

x^(3/3) = x^1 = x

Since he ends up with 20, therefore:

x = 20

 

<span>Julio started and ended with the same number which is 20.</span>

Caleb bought groceries and paid $1.60 in sales tax.the sales tax rate is 2.5% What was the price of Caleb’s groceries,before tax
Goryan [66]

Let price of the Caleb's groceries was $x.

Given that tax rate is 2.5% or 0.025

Then sales tax is given by product of 0.025 and x.

which is 0.025x.

Given that tax paid is $1.60 so both must be equal

0.025x=1.6

divide both side by 0.025

x=1.6/0.025

x=64

Hence final answer is $64.

Scarlett is playing a video game. She spends 900900900 minerals to create 181818 workers. Each worker costs the same number of m
Natalka [10]

Answer:

m=50w

Step-by-step explanation:

In the proportional relationship between mmm, the amount of minerals, and www, the number of workers, one constant of proportionality is the mineral cost per worker. It is the number we multiply by the number of workers to get the number of mineral

The constant of proportionality is 50 This means we can multiply , 50,the number of workers to get the amount of minerals.

Now, let's write the equation:

amount of minerals m

=minerals per worker×number of workers

=50w

One correct equation is:

m=50w
