This is a word problem involving supplementary angles. To solve it, we need to follow these steps:

Identify the given information and the unknown quantity. In this problem, we are given that an angle is 590 less than six times its own supplement. The unknown quantity is the measure of the angle.

Write an equation that relates the given information and the unknown quantity. We can use the fact that supplementary angles are two angles with a sum of 180°1. Let x be the measure of the angle. Then its supplement is 180 - x. The equation is:

x=6(180−x)−590

Solve the equation for the unknown quantity. We can simplify and rearrange the equation to get:

xx7xxx​=6(180−x)−590=1080−6x−590=490=7490​=70​

Therefore, the measure of the angle is 70°.

For the given data set of temperatures, the median temperature is 72.5 degree Fahrenheit.

In order to find the median temperature, we first need to arrange the temperatures in order from lowest to highest:

The total number of chickens the farmer owns is 35.

A quantity or proportion can be expressed as a percentage of 100 by using the word "percentage." It is represented by the sign %.

For instance, when we state that 50 percent of a group of people are women, we mean that 50 out of every 100 people in the group are women.

We can deduce here the total chickens the farmer owns in % = 100%

Hens placed in a new coop = 20% = 7

Let the total number of chickens = x

Thus,

7 / x = 20 / 100

To solve for x, we can cross-multiply and simplify:

7 × 100 = 20 × x

700 = 20x

x = 35

Thus, the total number of chickens = 35.

Answer:

t ≈ 37.76 seconds (rounded to the nearest hundredth)

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve the problem, we can use the equation for the height of a projectile at time t: h(t) = - 16 * t^2 + v0 * t + y0

where v0 is the initial velocity and y0 is the initial height.

In this case, we have:          v0 = 600 ft/sec (upward)

                                             y0 = 160 ft (above the ground)

We want to find the time at which the projectile hits the ground, which is when h(t) = 0.

So we can set up the equation:   0 = -16 * t^2 + 600 * t + 160

We can solve for t using the quadratic formula:

                                           t = (-b ± sqrt(b^2 - 4ac)) / 2a

where a = -16, b = 600, and c = 160.

Plugging in the values, we get:

                   t = (-600 ± sqrt(600^2 - 4(-16)(160))) / 2(-16)

                   t = (-600 ± sqrt(360000 + 10240)) / (-32)

                   t = (-600 ± sqrt(370240)) / (-32)

We can simplify this expression by taking the negative root since the positive root would give a negative time, which is not physically meaningful in this context: t = (-600 - 608.47) / (-32)

t ≈ 37.76 seconds (rounded to the nearest hundredth)

Therefore, the projectile will be in flight for about 37.76 seconds before hitting the ground.

By using the parallelogram method, the addition of the vectors [tex]\vec a + \vec b[/tex] is (3, 1).

In Mathematics, a vector typically comprises two (2) points. First, is the starting point which is commonly referred to as the "tail" and the second (ending) point that is commonly referred to the "head."

Furthermore, the head to tail method of adding two (2) vectors requires drawing the first vector ([tex]\vec a[/tex]) on a graph and then placing the tail of the second vector ([tex]\vec b[/tex]) at the head of the first vector. Finally, the resultant vector would be drawn from the tail of the first vector ([tex]\vec a[/tex]) to the head of the second vector ([tex]\vec b[/tex]).

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the equation of a circle given three non-collinear points, we can use the following steps:

Find the equations of the perpendicular bisectors of the line segments connecting the pairs of points.

Find the intersection point of the two perpendicular bisectors. This point is the center of the circle.

Find the distance between the center and any one of the three points. This distance is the radius of the circle.

Let's apply these steps to the given points:

Find the midpoint and slope of the line segments connecting the pairs of points:

Midpoint of (-18, -5) and (-7, -16): ((-18+(-7))/2, (-5+(-16))/2) = (-12.5, -10.5)

Slope of (-18, -5) and (-7, -16): (-16 - (-5))/(-7 - (-18)) = -11/11 = -1

Midpoint of (-18, -5) and (4, -5): ((-18+4)/2, (-5+(-5))/2) = (-7, -5)

Slope of (-18, -5) and (4, -5): (-5 - (-5))/(4 - (-18)) = 0

Midpoint of (-7, -16) and (4, -5): ((-7+4)/2, (-16+(-5))/2) = (-1.5, -10.5)

Slope of (-7, -16) and (4, -5): (-5 - (-16))/(4 - (-7)) = 11/11 = 1

The equations of the perpendicular bisectors passing through the midpoints are:

x + 12.5 = -1(y + 10.5) or x + y + 23 = 0

y + 5 = 0

Find the intersection point of the two perpendicular bisectors:

Solving the system of equations:

x + y + 23 = 0

y + 5 = 0

yields: x = -18, y = -5

So, the center of the circle is (-18, -5).

Find the distance between the center and any one of the three points:

Using the distance formula:

Distance between (-18, -5) and (-18, -5): sqrt(((-18)-(-18))^2 + ((-5)-(-5))^2) = 0

Distance between (-18, -5) and (-7, -16): sqrt(((-18)-(-7))^2 + ((-5)-(-16))^2) = sqrt(221)

Distance between (-18, -5) and (4, -5): sqrt(((-18)-4)^2 + ((-5)-(-5))^2) = 22

The radius of the circle is sqrt(221).

Therefore, the equation of the circle in standard form is:

(x + 18)^2 + (y + 5)^2 = 221

The standard equation of a circle with the points (-18;-5), (-7;-16) and (4;-5) is:

(x + 13)² + (y + 1)² = 41

From the question, we are to determine the standard equation of a circle with the given points

The given points are:

(-18;-5), (-7;-16) and (4;-5)

The standard equation of a circle is given by:

(x - h)² + (y - k)² = r²

Where (h, k) is the center of the circle

and r is the radius.

Using the given points (-18, -5), (-7, -16), and (4, -5), we can find the equation of the circle as follows:

Find the midpoint of the line segments connecting the pairs of points:

Midpoint of (-18, -5) and (-7, -16): ((-18 + -7)/2, (-5 + -16)/2) = (-12.5, -10.5)

Midpoint of (-7, -16) and (4, -5): ((-7 + 4)/2, (-16 + -5)/2) = (-1.5, -10.5)

Midpoint of (-18, -5) and (4, -5): ((-18 + 4)/2, (-5 + -5)/2) = (-7, -5)

Find the equations of the perpendicular bisectors of the line segments:

Perpendicular bisector of the line connecting (-18, -5) and (-7, -16):

Slope of the line: (−16 + 5)/(-7 + 18) = -11/5

Slope of the perpendicular bisector: 5/11

Midpoint: (-12.5, -10.5)

Equation: y + 10.5 = (5/11)(x + 12.5)

Perpendicular bisector of the line connecting (-7, -16) and (4, -5):

Slope of the line: (-5 + 16)/(4 + 7) = 11/7

Slope of the perpendicular bisector: -7/11

Midpoint: (-1.5, -10.5)

Equation: y + 10.5 = (-7/11)(x + 1.5)

Perpendicular bisector of the line connecting (-18, -5) and (4, -5):

Slope of the line: 0

Slope of the perpendicular bisector: undefined (perpendicular bisector is a vertical line)

Midpoint: (-7, -5)

Equation: x + 7 = 0

Find the point of intersection of any two perpendicular bisectors:

Intersection of perpendicular bisectors 1 and 2:

y + 10.5 = (5/11)(x + 12.5)

y + 10.5 = (-7/11)(x + 1.5)

Solving for x and y, we get:

x = -13

y = -1

Thus,

The center of the circle is (-13, -1).

Find the radius of the circle:

Using the center (-13, -1) and one of the given points, say (-18, -5):

r² = (-18 - (-13))² + (-5 - (-1))²

r² = 25 + 16

r² = 41

Answer: 2 hours 15 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem, we need to use the formula:

distance = speed x time

First, let's calculate the distance Jaswat covered in the first 1 1/2 hours:

distance = speed x time

distance = 6 Km/h x 1.5 h

distance = 9 Km

So, Jaswat covered 9 Km in the first 1 1/2 hours. He still had to cover 12 Km - 9 Km = 3 Km.

Now, we need to calculate the time Jaswat took to cover the remaining 3 Km at a speed of 4 Km/h:

distance = speed x time

3 Km = 4 Km/h x time

time = 3 Km / 4 Km/h

time = 0.75 hours = 45 minutes

Therefore, Jaswat took 1 1/2 hours + 45 minutes = 2 hours 15 minutes to complete the journey.

The appropriate statistic for testing the null hypothesis is given as  D (-2.20/0.07)

Coefficient for slope variable (Exercise time) = -2.20

Standard error of coefficient = 0.07

Therefore, the test statistic value to verify whether or not there is an apparent slope on a population regression line can be estimated as follows.

Thw correct option based on the information given about the parabola will be B. X.

The observed parabola has its vertex situated at (0, 0), declining until (0, 0) then again rising. Its equation falls in the form of f(x) = a(x - 0)² + 0, which simplifies to ax².

In order to detect the value of 'a' we can utilize any point on the parabola itself. Let's take (1, 1):

1 = a(1)²

1 = a

Therefore, the formula for the presented parabola is exsiting in the form of f(x) = x².

Now consider g(x) = (x + 1)² such that it's merely a horizontal movement of function f(x) = x². The vertex of g(x) stands at (-1, 0) and linearly declines until (-1, 1) prior to onching higher again. All this leaves us with option X as the only conceivable graph for g(x).

Solving for r:

r = 15%

Therefore, the equilibrium real interest rate is 15%.

Substituting r = 15% into the investment function gives:

I = 2,400

Therefore, investment is 2,400.

Finally, to determine if the government has a budget surplus or deficit, we need to calculate the government's budget balance, which is equal to government revenue minus government spending:

Budget balance = T - G = 3,000 - 3,600 = -600

Since the budget balance is negative, the government of Flatland has a budget deficit.

The truth statements about the function f(x) = 14(0.87)^x is Growth; y = 0

From the question, we have the following parameters that can be used in our computation:

f(x) = 14(0.87)^x

An exponential function is represented as

y = ab^x

Where

a = initial value

b = growth/decay factor

In this case, the exponential function is a decay function

This means that

The value of b is less than 1 i.e.

b = 0.87 and 0.87 < 1

Hence, the function is a decay function

Recall that

f(x) = 14(0.87)^x

So, we have

y = 0 as the the equation of the asymptote
