Proxima Centauri, Our Nearest Star Except For The Sun, Is About 41013 Km From Earth. Find To One Decimal

Answers

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The conversion for parsecs into meters is

1 parsec (pc) = [tex]3.09×10^{16}\:\text {m}[/tex]

So if Proxima Centauri is [tex]4×10^{13}\:\text{m}[/tex] away, then in terms of parsecs, this distance is

[tex]4×10^{13}\:\text{m}×\left(\dfrac{1\:\text{parsec}}{3.09×10^{16}\:\text{m}}\right)[/tex]

[tex]\;\;\;\;\;= 1.2×10^{-3}\:\text{parsec}[/tex]

16 is 4% of what number?​

Answers

Answer:

400!

Step-by-step explanation:

16 times 25 is 400, therefore 16 is four percent of 400! Also, when finding out 4% of something, divide it by 25. When fiding 25% of something, divide it by 4!

16 is 4 percent of 400 as per the concept of percentages.

16 is 4% of 400.

To determine the number that 16 is 4% of, we can set up a proportion using the concept of percentages. Let's denote the unknown number as "x." The proportion can be written as:

16/x = 4/100

To solve this proportion, we can cross-multiply:

16 (100) = 4x

1600 = 4x

To isolate x, we divide both sides of the equation by 4:

1600/4 = x

x = 400

Therefore, 16 is 4% of 400.

To verify this, we can calculate 4% of 400:

4/100 x 400 = 0.04 x 400 = 16

As we can see, 16 is indeed 4% of 400.

Required:

The reason for  the statement ∠1 ≅ ∠5; ∠3 ≅ ∠6

Solution:

From the attached diagram for the question, we have that angle ∠1 and angle ∠5 on line AC and ∠3 and ∠6 on line AB are alternate interior on two parallel lines, and they are therefore, congruent.

Therefore

∠1 ≅ ∠5, and ∠3 ≅ ∠6 by alternate interior angles theorem which states that alternate interior angles, which are the pair angles formed in the inside face of two parallel lines crossed by a common and the common transversal but on either of the transversal, are congruent

Therefore, the missing reason in Step 3 is;  Alternate interior angles are congruent

(d) Use your graph to estimate how much each person earned, check your work with part C, and explain your results in complete sentences. Answer:

pls hurry its due tomorrow​

Answers

Answer:

s = 250

a = 225

Step-by-step explanation:

Because they both earned a total of 475 dollars, the total amount of the two is 475. Because a represents Alto's earnings, and s represents Sheryl's earnings, we have [tex]a+s=475[/tex]

Sheryl also earned 25 more dollars than Alto, so the value of s is 25 larger than a: [tex]s=a+25[/tex]

By graphing, we can let s = y and a = x, so we have the following equations:

[tex]x + y=475\\y=x+25[/tex]

Plugging this into Desmos, we have this: (look at screenshot uploaded)

We see that y, or Sheryl's amount is around 250, and x, or Alto's amount is in the middle of 200 and 250, roughly about 225.

Now, we can solve for a and s. Because the value of s is equal to a + 25, we can represent s as a + 25 in the first equation: [tex]a + (a + 25) = 475[/tex]. Combining like terms, we have [tex]2a+25=475[/tex], and [tex]2a = 450[/tex]. Dividing, we have [tex]a = 225[/tex], and since s is 25 more than 225, we have [tex]s = 250[/tex]

The amount we estimated was around what we solved for. We found that the solution, or the value where both cases are true is around 250 and 225 for Sheryl and Alto's earnings.

Step-by-step explanation:

ok so first you do the reciprocal of division which is multiplication. So its gonna be 3/4 x 1/a = 1/4

you multiply the fractions 3/4 x 1/a and get 3/4a = 1/4

then you cross multiply and you get 12=4a

swap sides so its going to be 4a = 12

divide both sides by 4 and you get a = 3

15.Given 5x+2y=7

a.Find an equation parallel to the equation and through (0,10).


b.Find an equation perpendicular to the equation and through (0,10).

This picture is an example of what the answers should look like.​

Answers

Problem 14, Part (a)

The given equation y = 2(x-10)+3 has a slope of m = 2. Anything parallel to this will also have the same slope, but a different y intercept.

Let's find the point slope form of the parallel line through (-4,1)

[tex]y-y_1 = m(x - x_1)\\\\y-1 = 2(x - (-4))\\\\y-1 = 2(x + 4)\\\\[/tex]

The point slope form is:  y-1 = 2(x+4)

Now solve for y to get the slope intercept form.

[tex]y-1 = 2(x + 4)\\\\y = 2(x + 4)+1\\\\y = 2x + 8+1\\\\y = 2x + 9\\\\[/tex]

The slope intercept form is:  y = 2x+9

============================================================

Problem 14, Part (b)

The original slope is m = 2. Apply the negative reciprocal to go from 2/1 to -1/2. The perpendicular slope is -1/2.

Using the same point (-4,1), we find that the point slope form is...

[tex]y-y_1 = m(x - x_1)\\\\y-1 = -\frac{1}{2}(x - (-4))\\\\y-1 = -\frac{1}{2}(x+4)\\\\[/tex]

The point slope form is:  y-1 = (-1/2)*(x+4)

Now solve for y

[tex]y-1 = -\frac{1}{2}(x+4)\\\\y = -\frac{1}{2}(x+4)+1\\\\y = -\frac{1}{2}x-2+1\\\\y = -\frac{1}{2}x-1\\\\[/tex]

The slope intercept form is:  y = (-1/2)x - 1

============================================================

Problem 15, Part (a)

Anything parallel to Ax+By = C will be in the form Ax+By = D. The only thing changes is the C becomes D, where [tex]C \ne D[/tex]. If C = D, then we'd be talking about the exact same line rather than two parallel lines.

We're given 5x+2y = 7. The answer is in the form 5x+2y = D. Plug in (x,y) = (0,10) to find the value of D

5x+2y = D

D = 5x+2y

D = 5(0)+2(10)

D = 20

The equation 5x+2y = D updates to 5x+2y = 20

Answer:  5x+2y = 20

============================================================

Problem 15, Part (b)

If you are given Ax+By = C, then anything perpendicular to this is Bx-Ay = D. Here it's possible that C = D; however, it's likely that they'll be different.

The given equation 5x+2y = 7 is perpendicular to anything of the form 2x-5y = D. We'll plug in the given point to find D.

2x-5y = D

D = 2x-5y

D = 2(0)-5(10)

D = -50

Answer:  2x-5y = -50

Given A(-4-5), B(8,-1), C (-5, 9), and D (2,8) determine whether AB is parallel,
perpendicular, or neither to CD

Answers

Answer:

neither

Step-by-step explanation:

If 2 lines are parallel then their slopes are equal

If 2 lines are perpendicular then the product of their slopes = - 1

Calculate the slopes m using the slope formula

m = [tex]\frac{y_{2}-y_{1} }{x_{2}-x_{1} }[/tex]

with (x₁, y₁ ) = A (- 4, - 5 ) and (x₂, y₂ ) = B (8, - 1 )

[tex]m_{AB}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{-1-(-5)}{8-(-4)}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{-1+5}{8+4}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{4}{12}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex]

Repeat

with (x₁, y₁ ) = C (- 5, 9 ) and (x₂, y₂ ) = D (2, 8 )

[tex]m_{CD}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{8-9}{2-(-5)}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{-1}{2+5}[/tex] = - [tex]\frac{1}{7}[/tex]

The slopes are neither equal nor have a product of - 1

Plot the image of quadrilateral ABCD under a reflection across line L

Answers

                          hope this helps                                    

Step-by-step explanation:

The coordinates of the reflection of a point (x, y), across the y-axis is the point (-x, y)

Please find attached the plot of the image of quadrilateral ABCD under a reflection of the line l

Method:

The coordinates of the vertices of the given quadrilateral ABCD are as follows

A(-2 0), B(-3, 4), C(0, 4), and D(-1, 1)

Due to its orientation, the line l can be taken as being equivalent to the y-axis

The coordinates of the image of (x, y) following a reflection across the y-axis is (-x, y)

Therefore, for the image of the quadrilateral ABCD following a reflection across the y-axis to give the quadrilateral A'B'C'D', the coordinates of A'B'C'D' are;

A(-2 0), reflected across the y-axis gives the image A'(2, 0)

B(-3, 4), reflected across the y-axis gives the image B'(3, 4)

C(0, 4), reflected across the y-axis gives the image C'(0, 4)

D(-1, 1), reflected across the y-axis gives the image D'(1, 1)

The coordinates with which the image of the of the quadrilateral ABCD can be plotted are therefore;

A'(2, 0), B'(3, 4), C'(0, 4), and D'(-1, 1)

The plot of the quadrilateral ABCD and the image A'B'C'D' can be created using MS Excel presented in the attached graph
