To solve the question, we draw a circle representing a great-circle section of the earth, with satellite at a point S above earth. Draw tangents from S to he circle, and from points A and B, to the center C.
Hence:
AC and BC are radii, and
SA⊥AC and SB⊥BC
∠ASB=154°
making the angular measure of the intercepted arc:
∠ACB=180-154=26°

Answer: 26°

Find the p​-value in a test of the claim that the mean College Algebra final exam score of engineering majors equal to​ 88, give
Orlov [11]

Answer: 0.9332.

Step-by-step explanation:

Claim : College Algebra final exam score of engineering majors equal to​ 88.

Given that : The  test statistic is z equals to 1.50.

To find the  p​-value (Probability value), we use standard normal distribution table, and search the p-value corresponds to the z-score.

In a Standard Normal Distribution Table below, the p-value corresponds z equals 1.5 is 0.9332.

Hence, the p​-value is  0.9332.

One serving of granola provides 4% of the protein you need daily. You must get the remaining 48 grams from other sources. How ma
e-lub [12.9K]
48 grams= 96% needed

x grams. = 4%

Set up a proportion

48/96 = x/4

96/24=4
48/24=2
x=2= grams in the granola

Add the value of 96% and the value of 4% to get the value of 100%

2+48=50

Final answer: 50 grams

1. The graph shows the number of miles Peter's car traveled and the gallons of gas used.
steposvetlana [31]

Answer:

  C.  d = 24g

Step-by-step explanation:

The problem boils down to determining the ratio between d and g. That is, for some equation ...

  d = k·g

we want to determine the value of k. Solving the equation for that value, we find ...

  k = d/g

So, we need only to read a point from the graph with sufficient accuracy to determine a good estimate for k.

  (gallons, miles) = (g, d) = (5, 120) is a suitable point

Then ...

  k = d/g = 120/5 = 24

The equation is d = 24g.

Describe the graph represented by the equation r=5/(3+2 sin theta).
Yuki888 [10]
We have the following equation:

r= \frac{5}{3+2sin(\theta)}

If we graph this equation we realize that in fact this is an ellipse with major axis matching the y-axis. So we can recognize these characteristics:

1. Center of the ellipse: 

The midpoint C<span> of the line segment joining the foci is called the </span>center<span> of the ellipse. So in this exercise this point is as follows:
</span>
C(0, -2)

2. Length of major axis:

The line through the foci is called the major axis<span>, so in the figure if you go from -5, at the y-coordinate, and walk through this major axis to the coordinate 1, the distance you run is the length of the major axis, that is:</span>

6 \ units

3. Length of minor axis:

The line perpendicular to the foci through the center is called the minor axis. So in the figure if you go from -2, at the x-coordinate, and walk through this minor axis to the coordinate 2, the distance you run is the length of the minor axis, that is:

4 \ units

4. Foci:

Let's find c as follows:

c=\sqrt{a^{2}-b^{2}}=\sqrt{3^{2}-2^{2}}=\sqrt{5}

Then the foci are:

f_{1}=(0, \sqrt{5}-2)

f_{2}=(0, -\sqrt{5}-2)

Priya and Han are biking in the same direction on the same path.
Alinara [238K]

Answer:

1. V = D/t => D=Vt. as V = 16mph

D = 16t

2. Prya has been riding for t+½ hours

3. Prya has gone 12(t+½) miles

4. When Prya and Han meet

16t = 12t +6

4t = 6

t = 3/2 hours
