Sketching out the Region R for this, we use our polar coordinate plane. Our angle Θ is 0 and our radius r is 0.

We look at the limits of integration for the radius r. Our r has to be between 0 and 7cos(Θ). The lowest possible value that can be attained by radius r is 0. The region has to be outside the circle r = 0. The largest possible value that can be attained by radius r is 7cos(Θ). Our region has to lie in this shape.

We now look at the limits of integration for the angle Θ. Our Θ has to be between 0 and π. Our region has to lie in that angle.

The top right graph (the one selected) is the correct sketch of the shaded region R.

C - alternate exterior angles

Answers

∠GCB and ∠HCB are consecutive interior angles. Option A is correct.

What are parallel lines?

Parallel lines are lines in a plane that are always the same distance apart. Parallel lines never intersect. Perpendicular lines are lines that intersect at a right (90 degrees) angle.

given, A figure, in that

∠GCB and ∠HCB are consecutive interior angles

Since, Consecutive interior angles are a pair of angles formed when a line, known as the transversal line, crosses two lines. The angles created on the inside of the two lines and are on the same side of the transversal line are known as the consecutive interior angles or co-interior angles for short.

Facts about consecutive interior or co-interior angles:

These angles lie between two lines. Consecutive interior angles are non-adjacent angles. If a transversal is drawn on two parallel lines, then the sum of co-interior angles formed are always added up to 180 degrees.

Therefore, we can say that ∠GCB and ∠HCB are consecutive interior angles.

Let S={v1,v2,v3} be a linearly independent set of vectors in
. Determine whether T={2 v1+ v2 - 2 v3, 4v1+ 3v2 ,3 v1+ 2 v2- v3} is linearly independent.

Answers

S = {v₁, v₂, v₃} is linearly independent, which means

cv₁ + cv₂ + cv₃ = 0

if and only if c₁ = c₂ = c₃ = 0.

T = {w₁, w₂, w₃} = {2v₁ + v₂ - 2v₃, 4v₁ + 3v₂, 3v₁ + 2v₂ - v₃}

is linearly independent if the same is true for the vectors w₁, w₂, w₃, i.e.

cw₁ + cw₂ + cw₃ = 0

iff c₁ = c₂ = c₃ = 0.

Expanding this equation, we get

c₁ (2v₁ + v₂ - 2v₃) + c (4v₁ + 3v₂) + c₃ (3v₁ + 2v₂ - v₃) = 0

(2c₁ + 4c₂ + 3c₃) v₁ + (c₁ + 3c₂ + 2c₃) v₂ + (-2c₁ - c₃) v₃ = 0

Put the coefficients of v₁, v₂, v₃ in this expansion into an augmented matrix and solve the linear system:

[tex]\left[\begin{array}{ccc|c}2&4&3&0\\1&3&2&0\\-2&0&-1&0\end{array}\right][/tex]

Row-reduce the matrix:

• Replace row 2 with [row 1 + (-2) row 2]:

[tex]\left[\begin{array}{ccc|c}2&4&3&0\\0&-2&-1&0\\-2&0&-1&0\end{array}\right][/tex]

• Replace row 3 with [row 1 + row 3]:

[tex]\left[\begin{array}{ccc|c}2&4&3&0\\0&-2&-1&0\\0&4&2&0\end{array}\right][/tex]

Right away, we see that row 3 is a scalar multiple of row 2, since row 3 = -2 (row 2), so T is not linearly independent.

Continuing with the row reduction, we'd end up with

[tex]\left[\begin{array}{ccc|c}2&0&1&0\\0&2&1&0\\0&0&0&0\end{array}\right][/tex]

so if we choose, for instance, c₃ = 1, so that c₁ = c₂ = -1/2, we get

-1/2 (2v₁ + v₂ - 2v₃) - 1/2 (4v₁ + 3v₂) + (3v₁ + 2v₂ - v₃)

= (-v₁ - 1/2 v₂ + v₃) + (-2v₁ - 3/2v₂) + (3v₁ + 2v₂ - v₃)

= (-1 - 2 + 3) v₁ + (-1/2 - 3/2 + 2) v₂ + (1 - 1) v₃) = 0

A cell phone carrier charges a fixed monthly fee plus a constant rate for each minute used. Part 1. In January, the total cost for 300 minutes was $ 68 while in February, the total cost for 275 minutes was $ 66.5 . The constant charge for each minute used is:

Answers

Answer:

The constant charge for each minute used is $50

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to solve this problem we will need to set two variables up. In this case:

F = constant Fee

R = rate per minute used

So the cost for the month of January is calculated like this:

F+300R=68

and the cost for February is calculated like this:

F+275R=66.5

So no we have a system of equations we can solve simultaneously. This can be solved by using different methods, elimination, substitution, graphically or by using matrices. I will solve this by substitution.

So let's solve the first equation for R:

[tex]R=\frac{68-F}{300}[/tex]

and let's substitute this first equation into the second equation:

[tex]F+275(\frac{68-F}{300})=66.5[/tex]

and now we can solve this for F:

[tex]F+11(\frac{68-F}{12})=66.5[/tex]

We can multiply both sides by 12 so we get:

12F+11(68-F)=798

12F+748-11F=798

F= $50

A rectangular box with a square base and no top is being constructed to hold a volume of 120 cm3. The material for the base of the container costs $18/cm2 and the material for the sides of the container costs $3/cm2. Find the dimensions of the cheapest possible box

Answers

Answer:

Base=3.42cm

Height = 10.26 cm

For a total cost of $631.59

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to solve this problem we can start by drawing what the box will look like. (See attached picture).

So, the problem mentions that the box will have a volume of [tex]120cm^{3}[/tex]. Since the box has a squared base, we can calculate its volume by using the following formula:

[tex]V=b^{2}h[/tex]

we can turn this into an equation by substituting the corresponding volume:

[tex]b^{2}h=120[/tex]

now, the problem tells us that the base of the box will cost [tex]$18/cm^{2}[/tex] so first, we need to calculate the area of the base of the box. Its area can be calculated by using the following formula:

[tex]A_{base}=b^{2}[/tex]

so the cost of the base is calculated with the following equation:

[tex]C_{base}=18b^{2}[/tex]

we can find the cost of the sides of the box by following a similar procedure:

[tex] A_{side}=bh[/tex]

since there are 4 sides to the box, then we can calculate the total area of the sides by multiplying the formula by 4.

[tex]A_{sides}=4bh[/tex]

the problem tells us that the cost of the sides of the container is: [tex]$3/cm^{2}[/tex] so the cost of the sides will be:

[tex]C_{sides}=3(4)bh[/tex]

[tex]C_{sides}=12bh[/tex]

So the total cost of the box is found by adding the two costs we just found:

[tex]C_{total}=C_{base}+C_{sides}[/tex]

[tex]C_{total}=18b^{2}+12bh[/tex]

so we can take the volume equation to find an equation we can substitute for h on the cost equation:

[tex]h=\frac{120}{b^{2}}[/tex]

when substituting we get:

[tex]C_{total}=18b^{2}+12b(\frac{120}{b^{2}})[/tex]

Which simplifies to:

[tex]C_{total}=18b^{2}+\frac{1440}{b}[/tex]

or:

[tex]C_{total}=18b^{2}+1440b^{-1}[/tex]

In order to minimize the costs we will now take the derivaative of this function and set it to be equal to zero:

[tex]C'=36b-1440b^{-2}[/tex]

[tex]36b-1440b^{-2}=0[/tex]

and now we solve for b:

[tex]36b=\frac{1440}{b^{2}}[/tex]

[tex]36b^{3}=1440[/tex]

[tex]b^{3}=\frac{1440}{36}[/tex]

[tex]b^{3}=40[/tex]

[tex]b=\sqrt[3]{40}[/tex]

b=3.42 cm

so now we can use this value to find the height:

[tex]h=\frac{120}{3.42}[/tex]

h=10.26 cm

the total cost is found by using the cost equation:

[tex]C_{total}=18b^{2}+1440b^{-1}[/tex]

[tex]C_{total}=18(3.42)^{2}+1440(3.42)^{-1}[/tex]

[tex]C_{total}=$631.59[/tex]

Tell whether the order pair is a solution of the equation, y=6x;(0,3) (yes or no) please explain this i don't get it I'll give brainliest

Answers

Answer:

Assuming I didn't misunderstand your question, the answer is no.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation is y=6x. The ordered pair is (0, 3). 0, the first of the two numbers, represents the x coordinate. Therefore, you can replace the x in the equation with 0.

3, the second number of the ordered pair, represents the y coordinate. Therefore, you can replace the y in the equation with 3.

You should end up with 3=6(0)

Simplified, the equation is 3=0, which is false.

Answer:

The value of x = 175.4 mm

Step-by-step explanation:

The given triangle is a right-angled triangle.

Given

Ф = 70

To determine

hypotenuse = x

We know that the trigonometric cosine ratio can be represented as

cos Ф = adjacent / hypotenuse

here

adjacent = 60 mmФ = 70hypotenuse = x

substituting the values

cos Ф = adjacent / hypotenuse

cos 70 = 60 / x

x = 60 / cos 70

x = 175.4 mm

Therefore, the value of x = 175.4 mm
