N - Nicholes money
M - Marys money

(1) N + M = 4800 ⇒ N = 4800 - M
(2) N - 800 = M - 2/5M ⇒ N - 800 = 3/5M

subtitute (1) to (2)

4800 - M - 800 = 3/5M
4000 - M = 3/5M
-M - 3/5M = -4000
-8/5M = -4000 |multiply both sides by (-5/8)
M = 2500

subtitute the value of M to (1)

N = 4800 - 2500
N = 2300

Answer: Mary had at first $2500. (Nichole: $2300).

If cos Θ = square root 2 over 2 and 3 pi over 2 < Θ < 2π, what are the values of sin Θ and tan Θ?

KIM [24]

Answer:

The answer is

$sin(\theta)=-\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}$

$tan(\theta)=-1$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

$tan(\theta)=\frac{sin(\theta)}{cos(\theta)}$

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

In this problem we have

$cos(\theta)=\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}$

$\frac{3\pi}{2}$

The angle $\theta$ belong to the third or fourth quadrant

The value of $sin(\theta)$ is negative

Step 1

Find the value of $sin(\theta)$

Remember

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

we have

$cos(\theta)=\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}$

substitute

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

$sin^{2}(\theta)=1-\frac{1}{2}$

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

$sin(\theta)=-\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}$ ------> remember that the value is negative

Step 2

Find the value of $tan(\theta)$

$tan(\theta)=\frac{sin(\theta)}{cos(\theta)}$

we have

$sin(\theta)=-\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}$

$cos(\theta)=\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}$

substitute

$tan(\theta)=\frac{-\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}}{\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}}$

$tan(\theta)=-1$

12. A cyclist travels 40 km at a speed of x km/h. Find the time

GREYUIT [131]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

distance = rate times time, so

distance

time = --------------

rate

Here the distance is 40 km and the rate is x. Then

40 km

time = -------------- = (40/x) hr

x km/hr

If the speed is reduced by 2 km/hr, we get:

40 km 40 km 40

time = ------------------------------- or time = ----------------------- = --------- hr

(x km/hr - 2 km/hr) (x - 2) (km/hr) x - 2

The difference between the times is:

40 40

-------- - --------- = 1 hr Solve this for the original speed, x

x - 2 x

40x - 40x + 80 80

----------------------- = 1 hr or ------------ = 1 or 80 = x^2 - 2x

x(x - 2) x(x - 2)

Rewriting this in standard quadratic form: x^2 - 2x - 80 = 0

Here a = 1, b = -2 and c = -80, and so the discriminant b^2 - 4ac is:

(-2)^2 - 4(1)(-80) = 324

The solutions are:

-(-2) ± √324 2 ± 18

x = -------------------- = ------------ = 1 ± 9, or 10 (discard the other root)

2 2

The original speed was 10 km/hr

evablogger [386]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$\dfrac{2x-10}{4}=3x\qquad\text{multiply both sides by 4}\\\\2x-10=12x\qquad\text{subtract}\ 2x\ \text{from both sides}\\\\-10=10x\qquad\text{divide both sides by 10}\\\\-1=x\to x=-1$

At a certain company, the annual winter party is always held on the second of Friday of December. What is the latest possible da

vitfil [10]

Answer:

The latest possible date is December, 14th.

Step-by-step explanation:

Notice that the second Friday of December is n+7, where n is the date for the first Friday of December. So, the latest the first Friday, the latest the second. As the weeks have seven days, the first Friday will be between 1st and 7th of each month. So, the latest first Friday will be 7th. Therefore, the latest second Friday will be 14th.
